Chapter 2

The first subject is Chemistry. What a great start. Note my sarcasm there.

I entered the class with Kairi pushing my wheelchair, I've told her I could do that myself, but she won't listen. When we got in, I felt everyone's eyes were all staring at me. They started to whisper to one another. This is what happened every time. It's really annoying, like they've never seen anyone like this.

I looked back at Kairi, she sensed that I was really uncomfortable, being stared like that. She fastened her pace and immediately stopped at the two desks at the back, letting me sat next to the window.

Suddenly, a crazy looking teacher came in.

"Hi. I will be your chemistry teacher this year. Call me Mr. Vexen. Now open your book page 202, we'll study about lattice energy."

Oh, I feel like this is going to be a long period.

I took my sketchbook and started to draw, not listening to that monotonous voice saying things about atoms and bonds.

"Nam, like seriously, how many times should I tell you to stop sketching during class?" Kairi whispered while still focusing her eyes on the board and note some things on her book.

I decided to ignore her. It's not my fault that the teacher was being so boring.

"Fine Nam, just ignore me. I won't lend you my notes,"

I nodded.

Kairi huffed.

The next 45 minutes were spent just like that, me sketching, while Kairi being a diligent girl and listen to that teacher.

The bell rang, signaling that it's now break time.

"Nam, I'm going to the cafeteria, do you want to go too?"

I looked at my sketch, some details left. "Just go there by yourself, I'll catch up with you later."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, definitely, 100% sure. Now, go and eat your lunch," I smiled, still looking at my sketch.

"Okay. Take care Nam, I'll see you there."

I nodded. I picked up my pencil case and tried to find some other colours necessary.

Where is my violet pencil colour?

I turned my pencil case around letting all the pencil colours out.

There you are.

Picking up the violet-coloured pencil I started to draw again.

After a few minutes, I felt uncomfortable, like someone's watching me.

I looked around, just to see someone was watching me.

"Whoa, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Wait, you didn't notice me? It's been 20 minutes already," the spiky-haired boy said.

"…No."

"Sorry to make you feel uncomfortable then. But I really like your drawing."

I smiled to him. "Thanks!"

"You really like to draw, huh? Break's almost over and you're still here."

Wait, bell is almost over? Just how long have I been here?

"Break's almost over?" I panicked.

He laughed. "Yeah. And you didn't notice that?"

"No…"

"Well then, you should starve until the next break time," he teased.

"Good thing I've eaten lots of pancake this morning," I thought, when suddenly I realized something, "Oh! Didn't we meet before?"

"Hmm. Yeah, you're the one with the red head, right?"

"Yep, and you should call her Kairi instead of 'the red head'" I smiled.

He sheepishly grinned, "Sorry, I'm not good at names."

"That's okay. I'm Namine. You're… Roxas right? Wait no, hmm, Sora?"

He nodded. "Yeah. Roxas's my brother. And you sucked at names too," he laughed.

I pouted, "I remember! I remember!" He still laughed.

I saw the clock. It's 5 minutes until the next class. I guessed I have to skip my lunch.

"What's your next class?" I asked him.

"English. How about you?"

I searched for my schedule. "The same. Let's go there together," I smiled.

"Let's go!" he said while punching his arms to the air.

I smiled at his behavior. "Yeah."

He walked in front of me, when suddenly he stopped.

"Wait. I forgot. Do you need any help?"

I shook my head and smiled slightly. "Nope."

"Okay then, just tell me whenever you need one!"

I nodded. Good thing he didn't force to help me, unlike how some people are.

We started to walk towards the door.

"Nam? Nam, are you there?"

It is Kairi's voice. "Kairi?"

"Oh there you are." Her red hair showed up at the door of the class.

"You said you wanted to catch up with me!" she exclaimed.

Sora grinned. "Well apparently, your twin here is too engrossed at her work that she didn't even notice that the break is almost over."

Kairi looked in disbelieve. "Nam, how many times did I tell you not to draw too much?"

"How can I?" I pleaded.

She shook her head and sighed.

"C'mon guys, we're going to be late at this rate!" Sora suddenly said.

"Okay, let's go!" I replied.

We hurried our way to the English class; luckily the class was near enough that it only took us about 2 minutes to get there. When we got there, the class was only half filled.

"What is the purpose of us getting here that fast again…?" Kairi panted.

Sora replied with another pant. "I. don't. know."

"You guys are lucky that I didn't fall down. Great job." I said jokingly, with a smile plastered on my face.

Sora gave us a thumb up. "Of course not! We're pros." We all laughed.

We walked through the chairs and finally chose our seats. Kairi chose to sit next to the window, followed by me, and then Sora.

Before he sat down, he hesitated. "Is it okay for me to sit here?"

"Nope. It's not okay," I tried to look serious, "Well of course it is, Sora. Sit down."

He sat down and quickly fell asleep.

"What? I can't believe him. The class hasn't even started yet and he slept?" The red head sighed.

I chuckled.

The teacher hasn't come yet, so I pulled out my sketching pad and started to draw again.

"You too Nam? It's not even class yet! I can't believe you guys," she shook her head.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and a tall figure came in. I immediately averted my eyes toward that figure.

"Hi. My name's Zack Fair, you can call me Zack."

Well at least he didn't look crazy.

"Welcome to English class. Now, let us know each other more. But a normal introduction would be boring. Let's play a game. "

This might be interesting…

Even Sora started to wake up hearing the word game. Everyone's eyes were now at Zack.

"Well this is how to play this. First, set your seats into a circle. Then, I will stand in the middle as a starter, and I will say something along this line 'I hate people who…' For example, 'I hate people who are wearing pink.' Then everyone who is wearing pink should stand up and sit at the other unoccupied chair. And what is my job next you're asking? My job is to take your seats," he smirked, "and the last one standing should do something in front of the class."

Everyone groaned. The punishments are usually really harsh, like dancing 'Kupo Style' or something like that.

Then he saw me and seemed to think of something. "Can you join us? I mean…," he traced off.

Okay, that makes sense. I can't run to take people's seats. "I think I won't be playing, can I just watch you guys play?"

"Of course you can. Now, everyone on your seats. I will start. I hate people who," he paused, "is sitting down!"

Everyone scrambled to search for a new seat. Zack finally slid down into one of the seats.

When it was all settled down, a girl with braids stood at the middle of the circle. She started another sentence and that happened for a few rounds.

Until it came to a time that Zack was standing in the middle of it once again.

He sighed, "I hate people who like strawberry ice cream."

Kairi stood with a few other students. They started to stand up and ran for their seats.

Kairi looked confused.

She would lose this one.

Everyone was now sitting, except for Kairi who was standing in the middle of the circle. As expected.

I started to laugh.

Kairi eyed me. I hold my laughter with my hands.

"I hate people who…," she looked around, "have spiky hair."

Almost all the boys, including Sora stood up and scrambled.

Kairi quickly take Sora's spot, as she has already targeted the seat.

This time, Sora was the one looking frantic. And again, as expected, he lost the round.

He stood for some time, thinking, if I guessed right. Then suddenly he grinned. I smelled revenge.

"Wait Zack, could I talk to Namine for a while?"

The one who's being referred nodded, "Just don't take too long."

What?

He walked towards me. Then he whispered, "Hey Nam, when is Kairi's birthday?"

Bingo. My guess was right.

I giggled. "It is October 28th."

"Okay, thanks!" he grinned.

"I hate people who… were born at October 28th."

And Kairi started to stand up alone. Wow Sora, that really is a good plan. I laughed slowly.

But then I saw Sora walking towards my direction, what is he doing?

Then he walked toward my back and started to push my wheelchair.

I panicked. "Wait, Sora I didn't participate in this!"

He laughed. "You were also born at October 28th right? Then you should too."

"You're cheating!"

I heard Kairi's laughing. "It's your fault to trick your own sister!"

I pouted. I didn't ask for this.

Sors stopped the wheelchair at middle and then took his own chair and seat in the circle.

Is that even permitted? I looked desperately at Zack. He's laughing as well.

Great.

"Okay, this is the end of the game," Zack started to stand up, still laughing.

What? He's definitely doing this on purpose!

"Now Namine, what would you perform for us?"

This is bad. I should think of something to escape from this.

"Emm…"

Suddenly, Kairi's voice was heard. "Let her sing! Let her sing!"

She was laughing happily.

Kairi… I will eat all of your ice cream stock today.

"Okay, as your twin has recommended, now go in front of the class and sing for us," Zack replied approvingly.

Fine Kairi. Fine. Just you see.

I started to sing the song which pops on my head first.

'Melodies of Life.'

"Alone for a while, I've been searching through the dark," I started, "For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart."

Hey this was not that bad.

I finally finished the song.

"Whoa, remind me not to ask you to sing again, Namine," Zack said.

Was it that bad?

"Nam, I didn't know you can't sing," Sora laughed.

I groaned. I blame Kairi for all of this.

Kairi chimed in, "Way to go Nam!" She's still laughing, tears are even coming from her eyes.

Zack stopped his laugh and said, "This is the end of the lesson. Have a fun day! Especially you, Namine," he laughed while leaving the class.

Everyone's still grinning, started to leave the class.

"This is fun, right Namine," Sora said, still laughing.

I groaned once again.

Surprisingly enough, I really had fun today.

A/N : Whoa, surprisingly a fast update. Wouldn't do this for the next chapter though. Please tell me what you think of this chapter, and I'll see you when I see you!
