Hey ya'll : Aikoflutist247 here with another story. I know I've taken the idea of Kingdom Hearts 2 set in boarding school, but hey, why not do it again? And this time with a new character?
Not that I have something against any of the characters, but I always imagine the guy I like with a girl I make up xP. So here it is.
Pairings: RoxasOC SoraKairi RikuOC HaynerOlette [Other pairings may be decided later
Just letting you all know, I have nothing against the pairing RoxasNamine or Namine, I just wanted to try something new. Also, I don't like yaoi/shounen ai. No offense, but every time my friend makes me read yaoi or watch it, my mind flashes to my guy friends doing that guy-on-guy stuff...and it's not pretty.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts II or any of its characters :[
Claimer: I do own Joy, Amy, Lillian, & Cookie :Chapter One
New Students of Twilight High
The sun rose higher and out of the clouds to show the start of a brand new day. Out of the clouds, a plane was visible and flew through the sky, over plains and seas, high above the mountains. In the plane, many passengers sat in their seats, attendants going from passenger to passenger just before hearing their requests and demands, and the pilot working the plane to its destination.
In the crowd of passengers, sat two teenage girls seated next to each other. A unique color of violet colored eyes scanned a page in her manga as she listened to her iPod. Her mid-back length sea foam blue-green hair was tied up into its usual high ponytail lying over the head of the seat so she was able to lean against the seat comfortably. The long raven black haired beauty next to her had fallen asleep on her best friend's shoulder with the blanket that was provided for them resting over her, giving her a shield of warmth from the air conditioner that was cooling the girl next to her.
A ring was heard above, signaling an announcement. "Attention passengers, 30 minutes till we reach Destiny Islands, Twilight Airport. So, please sit tight and thank you for flying our airlines today."
The time read 9:30AM on her watch. It's been 11 hours since they left their hometown. They were supposed to arrive at Destiny Islands two hours ago, but the plane was delayed. Looking at the sleeping beauty, she shook her shoulder in an attempt to wake up the girl. "Hey Amy, wake up. We're almost there," she told her. The girl next to her fluttered her chocolate brown eyes open as she started groaning.
"What time is it, Joy?" She asked groggily, rubbing her eyes.
"Time for you to wake up."
Amy sat back up and started yawning. She started stretching her arms up in the air, but the sudden movement caused something to start crawling out of under the blanket. Joy looked to Amy's lap to find that their kitten had woken up, jumping over the arms of the chair and on Joy's lap, she stretched out her body before sitting on one of Joy's legs, looking up at its owner.
"Morning, Cookie," Joy greeted the tiny animal as she petted her head. The kitten was very unique. Joy and Amy had found her abandoned in an alleyway, and took her in. 'Cookie' is what they called her but not because the kitty-cat had snow white fur with a big black spot on her back, on it with tiny little spots of orange here and there. Or that its ears had either a black or orange spot, or the fact that it had bright blue eyes. The kitten was called 'Cookie' because the first thing she ever ate when they tried to feed her was a chocolate-chip cookie.
"Meow," the creature let out.
Joy shushed the animal not wanting to draw attention to her, continuing to pet the little feline, "I'll give you a treat later." The kitten purred from the affection and closed her eyes as Joy continued to run her hand along the head down the back and repeat.
Amy had put away her blanket and proceeded to fixing her hair. "I wonder why your mother sent us off miles away from home just to go to a boarding school."
"Me too."
It was true. Joy's mother had suddenly shipped them off to another country to a boarding school that they had never heard of. Her mother's name was Lillian and she was strict, but she would let loose every once and awhile. Lillian said she had her reasons to sending her only daughter and best friend off somewhere. She had never explained it though. Now, here were Joy and Amy on the flight to Destiny Islands.
Amy kept imagining their new home to be like Hawaii considering it was an island, so it just made her excited about it. Joy was excited too, but only because she wanted to leave her old high school. Too many regrets. The reason that Amy was with Joy was because Amy had been kicked out of her home. Joy being her best friend gladly had taken her in, and her mother was perfectly okay with her. Lillian treats Amy as she would to Joy, like her own daughter. So, in ways, Joy and Amy were - in technical terms - sisters. They shared a bedroom, a home, a car, a computer, and secrets. At this moment, they were both leaving their home filled with family and friends. Putting the past of memories, good and bad, behind them and looking toward the future.
Both had made promises to each other; Amy promised to not make rash decisions without confronting Joy first and to not judge people by first impression unless it was seriously obvious. Now, Joy had promised to not fall for any guy that she sees no matter what, she was not going to love another again. After hearing Joy's promise, Amy had stated that she wasn't going to make it.
Amy looked at Joy from the corner of her eye, still fixing her hair, "Joy, do you think you can really keep your promise?"
"Of course I can," Joy said instantly after hearing.
"Really now? Even when a really great guy comes into your life?"
"Yes."
"How about when a guy starts flirting with you? What are you going to do?"
"Then, I'll walk away."
"What if - "
Joy interpreted her, "Amy, I know you're doubting me. But, I made a promise to myself and I'm going to keep it. I know if I keep chasing after guys, they're just going to reject me like all the others. So, no matter what you say - "
It was Amy's turn to interrupt. "How about when a guy confesses to you that he loves you? Not like, but love."
For some reason, that question had made Joy silent. She stared intently at the kitten in front of her before replying back, "Please, who would ever love a girl like me?"
"A guy that would love a girl like you," she said bluntly.
"Puh-lease! Like a guy would even look at me," Joy said stubbornly.
But, Amy was equally as stubborn, "You never know, Joy. Twilight might be different."
The two juniors walked through the empty halls of the dormitories as they looked for their own dorms. It was 11AM, so the students should be taking their classes in the other building. The campus of Twilight High Boarding School was enormous. There were a total of 5 buildings: dormitories, school building (classes, offices, etc.), the cafeteria, the gymnasium, and auditorium. Also, there were the basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamond, and the football and soccer fields. And the huge clock tower was right in front as the entrance to the school. So, that was the school. It was also in a great location. It was next to the beach, near the mall, and there were a ton of places to just have a great day!
"I think I love this school," Joy said, laughing to herself as she hyperly walked through the halls. She heard Cookie 'meow' in agreement as she popped her head out of her duffel bag.
Amy was especially hyper. It seemed she ate too much candy on the way out of the plane. "Let's sing in happiness because this is the greatest school we have ever been to!"
"Hold up, Amy," Joy said, stopping Amy from singing, "what's your dorm room?"
"Hmm," looking down at her schedule that would have the information, she said, "Dorm #314. How about you?"
"I got 317," Joy replied back, looking down at her schedule. "Too bad we're not roommates."
"Aww," she sulked, talking to herself saying not going to be with her 'sister'.
Joy laughed at her, "I'm only three rooms away, Amy." Since she was a little ahead, she started walking backwards, facing Amy. "Besides, I could always sle - "
She didn't finish her question as Amy yelled out, "Joy, watch out!"
Quickly turning around, she was suddenly knocked over. She landed on her butt, and before falling back, she quickly balanced herself, placing her hands on the floor behind her. Opening her eyes that she didn't even realize she had closed from impact, she saw sky-blue eyes staring back at her in shock, a boy's. That's when she noticed that they were stuck in a non-common position that isn't really shown in mangas, that she's read, when the guy bumps into the girl.
Joy's left leg was propped up while her other leg was stretched out on the floor. The boy that had knocked her over had fallen in front of her, and was in a position over Joy's stretched out leg that looked like he was going to give a little child a horsey-back ride. His left hand was next to her right hand, but his other hand had ended up landing on top of her left hand, and caused himself to not fall any farther on the poor girl. If someone were walking around the corner, they would've mistaken the two for kissing, because at an angle it looked like they were lip locking. But at Amy's point of view, their faces were so close that their noses were just about to touch.
If they weren't staring into each other's eyes, they would've noticed the papers that were still flying in the air and scattered across the floor, and the CD's that were also in a messy pile next to them. Also, Joy's duffel bag had fallen on the floor right next to the spot that Joy had once stood and her suitcase had fallen over once Joy had let go of the handle. It was quiet. Amy seemed too surprised to do anything.
Becoming aware of the close contact, a deep blush crept up to both of their faces as Joy wavered out in a small voice, "Um…"
"S-sorry!" He stuttered out, quickly getting off her. He held out his hand to her, which she slowly took. At that precise moment when their hands came in contact, they both felt a chill run down their spines. They both took note of it and glanced at their joined hands. Once Joy was sitting upright, she quickly let go of his hand.
"Um, I think I'm the one to apologize. I wasn't watching where I was going," she said. She looked at the floor in embarrassment when she found the papers and CD's everywhere. "Oh, what a mess." The boy looked down on the floor and also noticed the mess. He quickly started picking up the papers. "Here, let me help you," Joy offered, crouching down to pick up the surrounding papers.
"Thanks," he politely said.
Looking up at her best friend, she told her to help with the CD's. Amy, finally out of her surprised daze, started piling up the CD's in a neat stack. Amy glanced at the boy and noticed him taking glances at Joy every now and then when she wasn't looking. He seemed like a nice guy and that made her smile. Amy was already predicting what could happen in the future.
After awhile of picking up the scattered papers, she noticed that some of them were music sheets. She was reaching for another paper, but the boy was reaching for the same one, too. And without seeing the other's hand, their hands had come in contact with each other once again. Another chill and Joy quickly retreated her hand, muttering a 'sorry' and reached for another paper. It took them awhile, but they had the papers and the CD's stacked up neatly.
"Sorry again," Joy said to him.
"No problem. It was my fault just as much as it was yours. I should've moved out of the way, but my reactions weren't as fast as my thinking." Joy smiled at his kindness and gave him her stack of papers. "My name's Roxas," he introduced himself.
"My name is Joy, and yes like 'Joy to the World'," Joy grinned at him. Noticing the quiet girl next to her, she quickly introduced Amy as well. "And this is my best friend, Amy. We're both new." Amy placed the two stacks of CD's on top of the papers.
"Well, that would make sense. Otherwise you wouldn't be here with suitcases," he indicated to the abandoned suitcases and duffel bag on the floor.
"Yeah, well, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in class?" Amy asked him. Joy took a good look at Roxas. He had gravity defying spiked up blonde hair that made her think that he used at least half a container of gel to make it into that hair style. And at the moment, he looked like he was wearing the school's uniform, for boys of course. The boy's uniform consisted of black pants, a white buttoned up collard shirt with the Twilight High logo on the shirt pocket, complete with a black tie. It seemed you could wear any kind of shoes, because he was wearing sneakers.
Roxas' eyes widened in realization and he started walking away, fast. "Gotta run! I'll catch up with you guys later!"
As he turned a corner, he was out of sight. "That was interesting," Joy said, walking over to her duffel bag. Checking inside, she saw Cookie pop her little head out. Petting the creature, she picked up the duffel bag and made her rolling suitcase stand upright. She saw Amy walk over to her suitcases.
"Very interesting, indeed."
Joy walked down the halls, counting down from Amy's room, having just dropped her off at her dorm. "315... 316... 317," she announced to herself, looking at the three-digit number engraved on the white door. She put her hand on the doorknob and turned, but found that she couldn't open it. 'Oh yeah, ID Card is the key,' she thought, taking out her new school ID card.
The card had her picture at the top left, 'Twilight High' in a little headline across the top of it, the logo - which consisted of two armored people, male and female, the guy with a sword and the girl with a spear - was next to her picture, underneath the logo was written 'Twilight Warriors' and at the bottom of the card had her name, grade, and dorm number. Next to that information was a bar code.
Joy slid her card in the slot above the doorknob and staring at the red light, it switched from red to green. Next came out a little number pad. 'PASSWORD' was displayed on the tiny screen. Looking at her schedule, she punched in the numbers and heard a resounding click as she finished. The number pad went back in, and the card slot spit out her ID. Taking her card, she turned the doorknob and walked in the room with her rolling suitcase.
She closed the door and found that it didn't lock. But with security like that on the other side, she didn't think much of it. Looking around her surroundings, she found her new dorm comfortable enough. There were two beds, signaling that someone had already occupied the room before Joy got there. One bed was placed in the corner and the other bed was next to it, the two beds being separated only by a small end dresser that had a lamp and an alarm clock upon it. A desk was on the other side with a computer hooked up on it and there was a good enough size television in the wall. On the same wall, there were three doors - excluding the door that lead back out to the halls.
Placing her things next to the bed that didn't look like it was being used, she opened the doors. The door farthest away led to a small bathroom complete with a shower, sink, and toilet. The door in front of the used bed had clothes already set in it and a skateboard. A dresser was next to it. Staring at the clothes in front of her, she noticed they were more boyish clothes in it. 'My roommate must be a total tomboy,' Joy thought as she closed the door. The final door had hangers in it and a pair of the Twilight uniforms, for her.
The girl's uniform was the same white collard button up shirt as the boys but the girls' looked more tighter and it had a dark blue tie with it, instead of black. The pocket would be over her left breast with the Twilight High logo embroidered on it. The black and blue plaid skirt is what topped it off. Looking at the skirt, Joy's face turned to that of disgust. The skirt would barely reach to her knees. Joy never liked skirts much, especially ones that didn't have shorts under. 'What if I fall on my butt?' Joy whined in her head.
Joy looked down at her own outfit and remembered the incident earlier. She was wearing jeans that had rolled up leggings and she was wearing a sky blue low-cut long sleeve shirt that said, 'Who cares?' in white letters. Her hair was still up in the same high ponytail, but she had a black beret on top that was slightly tilted to the side. 'Good thing I was wearing pants or else that Roxas guy would've been getting a free show,' she thought to herself, laughing a bit.
After awhile of unpacking and settling in her new dorm, she heard a small melody ringing. She opened her window and looked out of it. The ringing was coming from the clock tower as both hands were on 12. She turned her head to the school building and saw students start walking out. "It must be lunchtime."
