"WAKE UP BLONDIE!"
That voice rang through her ears, making her awaken from her deep slumber. Her blue orbs shot wide open as she slowly blinked her eyelids before she regained full vision. An image formed before her but it was too blurry to see. When she could see completely again, her eyes popped out when she saw a blonde boys face just inches away from hers.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed. The boy fell back from shock. Namine sat up and breathed heavily as she calmed herself from the unwanted surprise, grabbing her inhaler and breathing through it. When her breathing turned to normal, she looked to the side of her bed to where the blonde boy and two other boys looked to her worriedly. She watched them suspiciously before asking the question she wanted to ask.
"Who are you guys?"
"She speaks! And I thought she was a freak and all because like hey, she's a girl and girls are idio- OUCH!" said the blonde boy before getting hit in the head by the redheaded boy beside him. "Shut up, Demyx! Can't you see you scared her?" boomed the spiky flaming redhead.
"Did I? Sorry blondie!"
The redhead rolled his emerald eyes before turning to Namine. "Sorry bout that. Demyx got high on sugar again. Name's Axel. A-X-E-L. The silver goth dude there is Zexion and of course, this blonde haired clown here is Demyx. We're your new roommates,"
"Yay! Roomies!" cried Demyx.
"The darkness will swallow you," muttered Zexion. Namine arched her eyebrows before clearing her throat. "Nice to meet you all. My name is Namine,"
"Nice name for a nice chick," said Axel, smirking. Namine blushed while her eyes darted to the alarm clock beside her bed. "Oh my god, its 8 a.m? Camp starts in 30 minutes!" she wailed and stumbled off her bed before grabbing her bathroom supplies and towel. She ran out of the room, leaving the boys with confused faces.
"Namie-chan's funny! I like her!" blurted Demyx, earning a scoff from Zexion and a pity sigh from Axel. Demyx chuckled before munching on the gum Axel threw to him to shut him up.
"Well, at least we know she's okay. But we musn't let her ruin our plan," said Axel, chewing softly. Demyx nodded eagerly while Zexion remained silent. "No one can intrude our plan. No one!"
------------------------------
Namine hugged her things to herself and hung her head low. Snickers from boys that passed by frightened her so she quickned her pace. She didn't know where she was going actually but anywhere was better than getting stares and glances from the sickening faces of the young men.
Bump
Her body had hit something soft yet hard, causing her to fall down as her things scattered everywhere on the ground. She rubbed her bottom and glanced to see what or who she bumped into. She blushed when she saw it was the blonde boy that had asked for her name last night.
Why is he looking at me weirdly?
He had a popsicle in his mouth, blue coloured. He spat out his stick and crossed his arms. "Watch where you're going. When people bump with me, they always get a bump on their heads seconds later," he said. Namine whimpered softly before quickly grabbing her stuff. Her hand reached for her toothbrush but a hand caught her wrist. She looked up and saw that he had crouched down, smirking to her. "You're lucky you're a girl so I can't hit girls. Aginst my rules,"
"I-I'm sorry. I-I wasn't loo-looking," she stuttered, her lip trembled with fear.
"If saying sorry means anything, whats the use of having police?"
She looked into his eyes, his deep blue eyes. He glared back to her before releasing her grip and walking off, hands dug deep into his pockets. She stood up, holding her things frimly while watching him walk away. She couldn't help but wonder about his words.
If saying sorry means anything, whats the use of having police?
That was true in a way. A smile carved her lips, thinking about him. He's intresting. I must get to know him better. But at least know his name…
"Namine!"
She turned around and smiled softly when she saw her sister running towards her. Kairi panted when she reached there, grinning. "Hey Namie. So, how's your experience here at this wretched hole?" she asked. Namine shrugged, not knowing how to answer. "Its………definitely not boring,"
"Really?" asked Kairi. "I have to agree. My roommates are pretty cool. And funny. Especially Tidus and Hayner. They really crack me up. I'll introduce them to you,"
Namine nodded while Kairi grinned. The redhead then saw that Namine held bathroom supplies. "Going to take a shower?"
"Yeah, why?"
Kairi bit her lip and pulled Namine closer so she could whisper. "All the shower rooms here are boys ones. You have to shower at the lake," Namine turned to Kairi with a shocked expression, her sister could merely nod. "Sorry but I took my shower already. Do you still want me to accompany you?"
"Its okay," said Namine, smiling. "I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself. I'll see you later," Kairi nodded and ran off, Namine sighed deeply. She slumped as she resumed her way to the lake.
-------------------------------
"Everybody, listen up!"
Everyone turned their attention to the spiky haired man in front of them. He had pale blonde colors striking on them, deadly eyes to match. His arms crossed against his broad chest, Kairi drooled to the sight. "Is he HOT or what?" asked the redheaded girl, giving a dreamy sigh. Namine ignored her and she herself had to admidt, the blonde counselor was highly attractive. He paced back and forth, his silver whistle bumped to and fro. His expression remained silent as he stood in front of the boys.
"I am Cloud Strife, a counselor to this camp. During my class, no talking, no fooling, do nothing unless I give an order. Got it? Complete all my tasks or you will suffer the dear consequences. That means……no nonsense," said the blonde man, his undefying spiky hair flowing with the wind. Namine gulped, obviously that meant she wasn't going to get to skip his class. She bit her lip with nervousness and turned to her left, realising the blonde haired kid was looking to her again, still a popsicle in his mouth.
BHK
The name she will use to address him until she knew his real name. Together, they stared to one another. His cheek bulged left and right due to the cause of his tasty treat moving about. Suddenly, Axel who was coincidently behind the blonde boy hit him in the head. He turned around and scowled, making Namine laugh. He turned back to face the blonde girl and couldn't help but raise a smirk. Namine contained her giggles and focused back to the counselor who and chains with him. Heavy metal chains.
"These chains…tie them to your waist and then…move to that lake," ordered Cloud, pointing to a nearby deep looking lake. "After that, swim 10 rounds. Got it?" No one dared to answer him. He got angered by this and dropped the chain, glaring to them. "I said…GOT IT?"
"Yes sir," replied the campers, stratled with his outburst. Cloud sighed with frustration and moved in front of the studetns. The chains trailed behind him, dragged on the dirt sand below. His eyes looked to every boy, from head to toe. Scanning them, they merely kept looking their toughest. He stopped when he reached Namine, he frowned and she could have sworn he growled too.
"You…begin," he said, pushing the chains to her. Kairi saw this and grabbed the chains from her twin sister. "Please sir, my sister has a sickness. She can't swim. She-,"
"Did I ask you to swim or did I ask her?" asked Cloud, grabbing the chains back.
"Her sir but like I said, she's sick and-,"
"Then shut up and let her start!"
Kairi fell back slightly with shock and the campers began glaring to Cloud. He ignored them and faced Namine once more. "Now, like I said…begin," Namine hesitantley took the chains from the counselor and nearly dropped them. They looked light but she couldn't fall for the looks. It was heavy and with her weak body, lifting it up and hoisting it was impossible. Cloud pointed to the lake, she could only nod. With a shaking body, she began to walk to the lake. Sora and Riku faced each other, shrugging. Kairi wanted to go after her but Tidus blocked the way, telling it was best if Namine did this alone. Namine walked past Roxas, he for once looked actually…concerned. She shook her head with disbeliefment and kept on walking.
Finally, she reached the lake. With a frowned sigh, she lifted the heavy metal and began tying it around her waist. She felt her body shake with fear as she neared the cold lake. Seeing her reflection against the liquid, she bit her lip. She just wanted to cry right there. Her ears heard footsteps coming her way and turned. The campers with Cloud stood before her, assuring her it was okay. Kairi was the most scared one, her body shook for her sister's safety. Sora stood beside her, gazing down. He sighed and crossed his arms.
"Don't worry too much,"
She turned to him. "Wha-What?"
"Don't worry too much. She'll be alright. Sheesh, you're too protective,"
"Well, sorry for worrying about my sister,"
"She'll be alright. Hopefully, she's like her twin. Strong inside and out,"
"E-Excuse me?"
Sora blushed to what he said and laughed nervously to her. He then turned serious and cleared his throat, Kairi blushing beside him. "I-I mean…that umm…she has a strong spirit like you. Get it? Ah, never mind. Just shut up and quit worrying," Kairi huffed with anger and turned the other way, pouting. Meanwhile, Namine turned back to them with a worried look. Cloud gave her a look, initiating that she'd better jump or he'll push her. She prayed mentally and closed her eyes. With one last sigh, she jumped into the lake, the chains following her.
Kairi gasped and without knowing it, grabbed Sora's hand with fear. Sora blushed with her contact but noticed she was really scared so he held her hand back. Riku saw this and couldn't help but get a little bit of envious inside him. The chains pulled down the poor blonde girl, she struggled to swim up again. Her breathing was decreasing. She used her hands as much as they could and hoisted her face back to the surface. Catching her breath again, she shouted for help.
"Help! I'm drowning! Hel…," The chains had pulled her back down. Bubbles entered where she was used to be. Kairi stepped forward but Cloud blocked her. "Move sir," she muttered, trying to get past.
"No…anyone who saves her, will get their life beaten out by me,"
"My sister's dying! She's going to drown!"
"Does it look like I care?"
"How can you say that? LET ME PASS! NAMINE!"
Kairi struggled her hardest t pass the counselor but he was stronger. Unfortunately for Cloud, he forgot about the other students. Just then, BHK ran past the crowd and took off his shoes in a hurry. "Roxas, get back here!" yelled Axel, calling out to the blonde boy. Roxas, or so he was called, ignored Axel and jumped into the lake, swimming to the splashes. He swam further and further, using what sight he had to search for her. He found her, fainted and nearly out of breath as she floated with the chains leaving her there. He swam fast towards her and began unchaining her. Thank heavens he could hold his breath for long and in an instant, he managed to free her.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, he took her whole weight and carried it to the top, gasping for air once he reached the surface. Using his free hand, he pulled back the current of the water and began moving towards land. When the two finally placed their bodies on it, Roxas coughed loudly, letting all the water come out. Axel and Demyx ran towards their blonde friend and helped him up. Kairi managed to escape past Cloud and ran to her sister.
"Namine! Namie, wake up! Namine!" cried Kairi, taking her sister's hand and feeling for a pulse. She pumped her sister's chest, attempting to help her. Finally, Namine spat out drops of liquid, trailing past her lips and onto the ground. Kairi sighed with relief and pulled her sister up. She placed Namine's arm around her shoulder and helped her stand. Cloud growled with anger and stormed over to Roxas and gave him a punch.
Roxas fell back to the impact. Axel snarled to Cloud while Demyx restained him. Cloud ignored the two and glared to the blonde. "Next time you'll learn to not interfere with me," he muttered and stormed off. "Class dismiss!" he yelled back. The boys watched as their teacher left and turned back to Kairi and Namine, giving them a look that said 'Life is going to be hell for you two from now on'. Kairi ignored them and looked back to Roxas, walking back to him.
"Thanks for helping my twin. It really meant a lot,"
Roxas pretended not to hear that. He stood up, wincing with Axel's help. His right eye was bruised and his energy felt drained. He brushed roughly past his best friend and walked away. Axel sighed deeply while Demyx went to Namine, smiling. "Hi! I'm Demyx and that redhaired guy over there is Axel! The guy that saved your sister was Roxie-kun! We're Namine's roommates!" he chirped, grinning widely.
"Hi, nice meeting you. I'm Kairi, her twin,"
"Whoa, its like looking at two replica's…," replied Demyx rather dully. Axel shook his head and smacked the back of Demyx's head. "Idiot! That's why their called twins!"
"Ooooh,"
"Ignore the moron. Pass me your sister. I'll take her back to the dorm,"
Kairi hesitated. She couldn't just trust anyone with her sister. After all, this was a correctional camp. Anything could happen. Axel saw this and leaned in closer to them. "Come on, trust me. I'm not that bad okay?" Kairi couldn't help it. She couldn't take her back to her dorm. That would be more dangerous with Riku and Tidus there. She finally agreed and Axel gently carried Namine bridal style.
Kairi watched frustratingly as the two boys took Namine back. Once they were out of her sight, she heaved a sigh and walked off towards her own dorm, slumping along the way.
Some summer vacation…
--------------------------------
It was already twelve at midnight. Everyone was currently in their droms, slumbering peacefully. All except for Kairi.
The redhead was currently at her table, reading a book peacefully. More of a novel. It was about a girl, waiting patiently for her dream man to come and sweep her off her feet but she never realised the man was in front of her the whole time, her best friend. She was engulfed with the novel for the pot was cliché yet it caught her attention. Her dormmates were all asleep, as so she assumed. She pushed the rims of her frameless glasses back and foucsed once more on the book. Sora was wide awake and silently watching her. He admitted, with the glow of the candle she used as light, her beauty was alluminated by it. Her petite nose shined with her auburn hair loosely falling from her ponytail. Her glasses suited her face, bringing out her blue orbs more. Shorten up, he thought she looked cute…
He was too intruiged in her, he didn't notice Riku stirring awake. The silver one smirked as he got up and crept up beside her. Kairi lifted up her head and was shocked to see Riku standing tall there. "Riku, you scared me," she whispered roughly. Riku smirked with slyness and took her hand. She cocked her eyebrow as she stood up with his help and gently led them out of the dorm. Kairi didn't know what to do so she followed like a dog following its master. Sora responded without thining and grabbed his jacket, rushing slowly and quietly after them.
"Riku, where are you taking me?" she asked in a worried voice. Like she remembered, this was a correctional camp. Riku cocked his head and gave her a grin that made her stomach churn while her heart made flipflops. Riku was a ladies man, no one could deny that so it wouldn't be weird for her to be falling for him right? What am I saying? I'm being such a whore. I just met him for god's sake! Get a grip Kairi!
"Here we are," said Riku, pulling her in front of him and letting her see the view. Kairi gasped. It was simply breathtaking. From the view, they could see the whole of Twilight Town. The tower highly shown over the other buildings, the little roads that were branched up left then right and many houses here and there. "Its beautiful…," she mumbled, eeys glanced directly forward.
"Just like you,"
Kairi blushed furiously to those words and turned her head. "Those words are so cliché," she mumbled, still red to what he said. His smirk remained on his soft lips. "Really now? Then why are you blushing like a baboon's butt?"
"I am not!" she snapped, crossing her arms. He chuckled to this and pulled her closer, wrapping her with his jacket. He stepped back a few inches and smiled. "Looks good on ya,"
She didn't know what to say so she replied with a smile. "Thank you,"
He merely nodded and sat down, enjoying the view in front of him. Kairi followed suit and felt the cold wind brushing past them. And subconciously, withouth them knowing, their hands were moving closer to one another until finally, they intertwined and held tightly. Both blushing quite well, they smiled to one another and kept their position like that.
What they didn't kow was a jealous brunette was watching from afar, anger rising seeing her hand with his. Storming off, he took a cigarette out of his pocket and lighted it up, smoking the smoke from it. He felt calm once more. This small item had always seemed to relax him ever since he started it when he was just 14. It felt good and he became addicted to it. Sighing, he blew a puff of smoke and smirked.
"You may have won this time, Riku, but the game has just started…,"
--------------------------------
"Ungh…,"
Namine moaned out loud as she stirred from her deep slumber and fluttered her eyelids open. She shifted her head back and forth and was covered with a soft material. She later on realised it was her pillow. Sitting up from her bed, she held her head in pain. Darkness surronded her everywhere. Her eyes darted to the digital clock on her dresser and noticed it was midnight. Whoa…I was out that long?
She forgot the events that happened that day. All she could remember was her frantically drowning in the waters and fell down. She had no clue to how she arrived back at her dorm and on her bed. She then realised her dormmates sleeping soundly on their beds. Axel was snoring oh so silently with his soft breaths coming out and on the right side of his bed was Demyx, mouth wide open and drool sliding down while hugging his rabbit plushie.
Namine heaved a deep sigh and went to see to her left. She was surprised to see no one there. BHK wasn't there. Curious, she went to the door and opened it, walking out. Her footsteps slowly echoed throught the hallways as she made her way out of the dorm. She peeked her head and saw him standing with a yes, you guessed it, popsicle in his mouth. She blushed seeing that he was wearing a sleeveless shirt that showed his slight muscles and shorts to go with it. Though it was normal attire for a boy, Namine had to admidt he looked well built in it.
She stepped out into the night and closed the door, walking to him. He managed to realise her presence and turned around, emotionless when seeing her. "Hi," Namine greeted, giving a shy smile. He ignored her greeting and turned back around, facing the forest in front of him. Namine got the hint of him wanting to be alone so she faced back and was about to go inside when she heard him speak. "Feeling better?"
She spun around and smiled. "Yeah…,"
"Good…,"
She bit her lip and gave herself some bravery as she began to walk up to him. He realised this but did nothing to stop her. It was alright. He was appalled by this for he always hated it when someone or something ended up disturbing his quiet time. The person that interrupted him would always end up with with at least a broken arm. But maybe because of the fact that she was girl, maybe…
"Umm… if you don't mind me asking…," she began. He turned to face her. "What?" he snapped in arude tone. She winced slightly to this. "I was wondering why you always like those popsicles so much?" she qustioned. He gave a scoff while rolling his blue orbs.
"Why? Got a problem with it Namie?"
"N-No… Sorry if that offended you in anyway,"
He couldn't care less for what she had to say and spat out the stick of his tasty treat he had finised devouring. He turned around to walk back into the door once more. "Wait," she cried, stopping him. He froze in his tracks but didn't turn to face her. She smiled. "For some reason, even if I'm not sure… I know you saved me. So, thanks,"
He couldn't help but smirk at this and continued walking until he reached the dorm door. Before closing it, he spun and faced her again. "Don't stay outside too long. Its getting late… you should come in soon,"
She gave him a nod. He smirked to her and closed the door. Namine gave a long inhale and exhaled slowly as she made her way back into the dorm. She still didn't know his name but she didn't care. She was bound to find out sooner or later and wihth that, she happily entered the dorm again for a good night's sleep.
This is going to be an intresting summer…
--------------------------------
