A/N: I just couldn't resist giving you guys a double update since the last chapter was so short. Oh, and I'm going to be starting my extremely long one-shot soon. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of March! I've already thought up of the name: The Bridge Where Fate Intertwines! Isn't it catchy? No? Oh… Well, I thought it was.

Well currently in the story, Sora really needs a bit of time to cool off. But… I'm not going to let him rest just yet! –Evil laugh- Time to cue the drama! -8989™

-New Arrivals-

Wrong.

Ring! Ring!

"Dude, if you don't get your sorry ass down this instant, you're going to regret it!" That was Riku on the phone.

Yeah, yeah… Just let me sleep a few more minutes…

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Look Riku, just give me five more minutes to snuggle in my bed…" Sora could barely mutter the words out of his mouth from the drowsiness.

"It's fucking already 7:50 fucking am!"

It took Sora all his willpower to open one eyelid and check his Disney castle alarm clock. Sure enough, he had slept through his alarm.

"Sora! We're going to be late!" That was Roxas' voice. He probably caught the phone the silver haired emo tried to throw inside Sora's bedroom window.

"Fine… Give me a minute…"

"30 seconds is all you got! If you don't get here in 30 seconds, we're leaving without you." Riku's voice boomed into the sleepy brunette's ears as he dragged himself out of bed and to his closet. He threw on some clothes, slung his backpack over his shoulders, grabbed a chocolate donut and ran out the door.

"Your lucky, douche. 3 more seconds and you'd have to walk to school." Riku was practically barking orders at him. "Now get the fuck into the damn car!"

"What's with him?" The brunette did as he was told and quietly slipped into the back seat of the black Mercedes S320.

The blonde looked back from shotgun and smirked. "Well today's the day for the band tryouts remember? And he's just really anxious."

"Oh." And I thought Riku hated instruments… Or maybe he just hated playing base…

They arrived at the school's parking lot with a few minutes to spare with Riku's crazy driving. Roxas was still hyperventilating in the front seat; afraid they'd all get killed when the a few cars came rushing towards them at a red light. The speed meter never dropped below 80km/h even when they were driving inside the parking lot looking for an empty spot.

When they turned a corner, they found their usual spot was occupied with a red sports car. I think I've seen that before… They continued on until they finally found a vacant space in the crowed parking lot.

"S-Someday, your gonna g-get us… A-All killed… R-Riku…"

"Yeah, yeah. Quit whining and get the equipment." The mad driver killed the engine and got out to get their band equipment.

I'm glad I remembered to wear the seatbelt when he drove…

With their instruments in hand, Riku led his mates towards the main building. After busting through doors and crawling up countless steps, they've finally managed to reach the auditorium where the tryouts were held.

The band that was chosen would perform at the 'back to school' event. Riku, who's currently kicking open the double doors of the auditorium, wasn't really interested in performing at the event. He just wanted to prove himself as the best. Just like Riku.

They ambled in with their band equipment getting heavy in their hands. The emo spoke up to whomever was in charge of this audition, and that person just happened to be their P.E. teacher. "Snow. Sign us up. We're going to try for the position."

As informal Riku sounded, Sora knew that it was the most respectful thing that's in Riku's dictionary. Plus he didn't like to be too distant from his students anyways.

"Sure thing, Riku. You guys got your equipment?"

The silver haired kid raised a brow.

The teacher probably got the message. "Oh… Ok, well then set up and I'll see what I can do for you."

Riku nodded and led his band mates up the stage.

It'd be much better if we had Axel to back us up on drums.

Sora, Riku and Roxas proceeded to tune their instruments backstage. They didn't pay much attention to a certain redhead who sneaked in quietly and plopped himself down behind a drum set.

"So you guys gonna try out too?" Everybody jumped, with Roxas being the highest.

The blonde turned around and found his old friend sitting behind the drum set arms crossed and grinning. He got down from the red curtains he was clutching so tightly a moment before.

"So you want to help us?" Roxas' eyes were filled with eagerness.

"What else could I do? Come here and laugh at your face for not making it? I saw a few good performances before school started."

Roxas squealed like a fan girl and fly tackled the redhead. Despite his friend was using the drums as protection, the blonde still managed to leap over it and give his old friend a bone-crushing hug.

"You guys done? I don't want to wait all day!" Sora's voice echoed in the empty auditorium room.

Axel gasped for breath before shouting 'almost done' towards the teacher. Then he lowered his voice and turned to Roxas who was still gripping him tightly. "Dude, not here. There are security cameras everywhere in this place. The last thing I need is to get kicked out of a school for being gay."

"Oh, oh right… Sorry." Roxas backed off.

"You guys ready?" The silver haired was pumped.

"Ready when you are, Riku!" Sora picked up his white Fender and walked towards the center of the stage.

"So you're going to stay at Destiny High?"

It was now lunch break. The team had made the cut a few hours ago with Axel's help, and now the four of them were sitting besides Hayner's table enjoying their lunch.

"Yeah, that is if I don't get kicked out again… Which I highly doubt…" Axel responded through a mouthful of mashed potatoes.

"So the car we saw in the parking lot was yours?" Sora tried to avoid little bits of food hurling out from the red head's mouth.

"Yeah, I couldn't have walked to school, could I?" Axel shoved another spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth, not bothering to swallow the last bite. "So how was my back-to-school party yesterday?" The pyromaniac turned towards the blonde who was quietly eating his pizza and shot bits of food towards him instead.

"Back to school?" Sora thanked the heavens for Axel turning away.

"Well what did you think it was? A lets-all-get-together-for-no-reason party?" Axel swung his head towards Sora and Riku's direction, pelting them with mashed potatoes. And shoved a spoonful of ammo inside his mouth.

This guy doesn't actually eat his mashed potatoes… He just uses it as ammunition to hurl them at us…

Roxas looked relived that he wasn't being targeted anymore.

They with silence at their table, munching down the food on their own trays, until Roxas found some of Axel's half eaten mashed potatoes on his last slice of pizza. He squeezed his eyes shut and threw the pizza slice somewhere behind him. The unlucky person who happened to get hit was Sora's cousin Tidus.

The 9th grader stood up and pointed his half eaten sandwich in the air. With food still in his mouth, the short brunette shouted "FOOD FIGHT!"

That did it. In less than mere seconds, half eaten onion breads, carrot sticks, cheesecakes were flying everywhere. There was even some flying mash potato sometime during the pandemonium. Sora did not want to know where that came from.

From the corner of his eye, Sora saw a tall figure walking inside the cafeteria. Uh-oh…

Two words. The. Principal.

"Enough!" The blue haired man shouted through the chaos, silencing everyone. A guy froze in place with fear, his half eaten pizzas that he was about to throw slipped out of his hand and onto the floor. Splat.

Saix walked through the lunchroom examining the damage. "Students your age should be able to have fun… Without damaging school property!" He was mad now. "What are you? 4 years old?" He pointed at the unlucky guy who was frozen in place with his pizza still on the floor. "I would've expected this from kindergarteners, not from students attending high school! I want to know who started this!" Everyone looked over to Roxas' table. Man are we screwed.

Without another word, the 4 at the table got up and followed the principal and exited the lunchroom with eyes trailing behind them.

After being scolded by Roxas' uncle for nearly an hour, the principal figured that he had better things to do than discipline 4 high school students. So when the bell that ended 6th period rang, the principal sent off the students to their last period classes but not before giving them a week of detention each.

Well, at least that's over with. That guy talks more than the English teacher…

Sora rounded the corner and found his way to his last period class- English.

Here we go again…

He resumed his posture he always maintained when he was in English class. Just look out the window and try to block the boredom away from your head. He heard footsteps which he assumed was Miss Tifa and tried to ignore what might happen during English class.

It was so beautiful today too… And here I am listening to the English teacher about to blab her head off…

Another set of footsteps came rushing in just before the bell that started class rang. Just another student who doesn't want to be late for class… What a teacher's pet…

He heard a quick exchange of whispers, but ignored it and continued to stare at the sun beginning to set outside, casting grey and purple shadows over campus. He had to admit, Destiny High was pretty awesome… Minus the English classes of course.

His thoughts were interrupted with Miss Tifa's speech. "Well class, we have a new student! Lets welcome her. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

What a waste of time… Here I am, imprisoned inside English class on a beautiful day listening to somebody give an introduction speech of who they are. Bullshit. Why do they even bother doing that? Nobody gives a crap about who they are, so just shut up and get to your seat so I can finish this boring class.

The new student gave the class a smile and said three words that made Sora want to jump out the window, run around the campus 14 times and shout: "Look at me! I'm the friend of the retarded kid who started the food fight!"

It wasn't possible. He was damn sure that his own ears deceived him. I really need to get my ears checked… I must be getting my auricles clogged from the bullshit that the English teacher feeds me everyday.

The voice he heard was familiar. Smooth and soothing. Calming. Like the one he dreamt of in his sleep. When his brain converted the luscious melody coming from the new student into words, he found that it translated into three words that wouldn't fit together in his dictionary.

He couldn't help but sit up and turn and look at the new arrival.

The three words the auburn haired girl pronounced still rang in his ears.

Hi. I'm Kairi.

A/N: I really forgot who I got the food fight inspiration from… Anyways, all rights go to that person. And I still need those spelling/grammar checkers to help me out! If anyone has any ideas/comments/questions/concerns about the story, don't hesitate to ask/inform me!

Oh and just so you guys know, every time I update a chapter, I've always have the next one ready and edited. Just incase I happen to get stalled by something not too particularly interesting. So I might land a few extra chapters now and then if you guys review! :D

Unfortunately, that won't be happening anytime soon. Our school just started swimming and I really need to get all the water out of my brain before I can give proper updates… So if the next update comes in a bit late, you know who to blame. Yes! My school's swimming coach! -8989™

Please review!
