I had this weird idea during my literature class and unable to stop thinking about it I decided to write and this is the result. I'll do my best to make it interesting and take this idea to the final.

Drop Drop Drop
Heavy raindrops fell from the sky on a Friday morning banging rhythmically against the umbrella of a girl who lazily walked down the street.
Pale blond hair framed her porcelain face decorated with a pair of blue eyes as clear as ice, a small nose and rosy lips from cold weather.
"Why classes don't get suspended when it rains like this?" the blonde sighed heavily.
When she reach the school she went to keep her books, coat and umbrella in her locker, took only what she needed for the first three classes and went to her classroom.
"Hey Namine here!" A girl with short black hair caught the attention of the blonde who barely set foot in the classroom.
"Hi Xion, God the sky is falling down!" Namine sat on the desk in front of Xion's leaving her backpack on the floor.
"Sure, just of crossing the street and entering the school I ended totally soaked!" Xion replied pouting and pointing her dripping hair.
"By the way, where is Kairi?" the question was casual but made the raven haired girl bite her bottom lip hesitating her response.
"Nam she...she went to see Sora." Xion's voice drifting into silence.
"... I see." The expression Namine's face adopted made her friend feel a pang of guilt for telling her.
"Hey Nam is everything ok?" The blonde looked at her friend with a reassuring smile and nodded.
"Don't worry Xion I'm fine, it's been two months since then and I made up my mind to see them together."
Seconds later the door swung open, the teacher got inside and behind him Kairi with her red hair disheveled and a little flushed of having to run to class.
"Hi girls, what an ugly weather this is, don't you think?" Kairi greeted them breathlessly as she sat at her desk. The blonde and the dark haired girl nodded.
"I assume you have great time with Sora" Xion hummed.
"Oh shut up or I'll start talking about-" Kairi teased the brunette who was blushing, Xion quickly covered Kairi's mouth preventing her to talk.
Namine snickered at her friends antics.
"The girls in the back could you try to keep silence and pay attention or you'll have detention" The teacher said a little annoyed with the noise; the three girls turned their attention to him who was writing on the board.
Namine Evans moved to Radiant Garden with her family five years ago and in that span of time she had made many friends but the closest to her were Xion Adams and Kairi Lane whom she met in middle school and since then they were inseparable. Thanks to them she met lot of people especially Sora Carter.
Sora, with his spiky chocolate hair and kind blue eyes, was the best childhood friend of Kairi and Riku Gray.
From the first moment that the petite blonde spoke to him she knew he was special, the kind of guy who lights up a room with his presence and it's nice with everyone. Eventually Namine developed an affection greater than that of a simple friend but was never brave enough to confess her feelings, so when the boy asked Kairi to be his girlfriend and she accepted Namine lost all hope that between her and him could be something else.
The first week she saw them together was the worst and Kairi noticed the discomfort between them that's why she talked to the blonde for several hours only getting from Namine just a "everything is fine Kai and reallywish you both a lot happiness."Soon everything returned to normal. Although for the blonde was even painful to see them so lovey-dovey she tried to tolerate it, after all they were her dearest friends.
"The homework is on the board, good weekend everyone" the professor dismissed the class and leave shortly after.
"How can he say good weekend so lively if this is the first class?" Xion mumble taking her black backpack and walking or rather dragging herself to the door.
"Oh come on don't be grumpy, see the positive side we have PE and as it is raining the teacher won't make us run like horses" Kairi grinned animatedly to Xion.
"Speak for yourself, I have math!" Namine bowed her head sighing dreary.
"Your schedule sucks dear Nam" the blonde glare at the redhead who smiled playfully.
"Well here we parted, until lunch!" Xion waved and the three girls parted to their respective classes.
The first periods passed without much relevance and when it was time for the third that was chemistry, another class that Namine didn't share with any of her best friends she was literally dying of boredom. While she waited for the teacher to arrive and began with her brilliant explanation of the valences of electrons she was sitting with the headphones on looking absent-minded to the window. It was still raining.
Upon hearing the door shutting she looked to the teacher who entered using her usual white lab coat but that wasn't what caught her attention but instead what was behind her or rather who was behind her.
"Be quiet and sit down please" The teacher indicated with monotony leaving her belongings on the desk and turning to the students. "Since today we'll have a new student in this class...come and introduce yourself"
Someone with the hood up of his black hoodie entered making a lot of whispers from everywhere. He made his way to the front of the class with his hands inside the pockets of his jeans.
"Who changes of school in these dates?" A girl in front of Namine whispered to another at her side.
"Why does he have the hood up, for God's sake we're in a classroom!" A guy snorted somewhere behind.
Namine took off her headphones and looked curiously at the newcomer who with a subtle movement of his hand removed his hood.
Locks of honey blond spiky hair, lightly tanned skin and incredible deep blue eyes were what everyone´s saw.
"My name is Roxas A. Knight, nice to meet you all" He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.
The boy's voice was calm and melodic like the sound of the waves but his eyes were what most attracted attention. Despite its beautiful color they gave the impression of having no life at all.
"Let's see...you can sit behind Miss Evans." The teacher told him and snapped the girl from her reverie after hearing her name.
The boys walked directly towards her and sat on the desk behind without even spend a look. "What a strange person." Namine thought before dedicating all her attention to the litany of electrons.
Lunch came soon after the unusual chemistry class. Kairi, Xion and Namine sat at their usual table waiting for their other friends to join them; shortly after Olette and Selphie arrived taking a seat.
"Where are the guys?" Xion asked Olette.
"Oh Hayner and Sora are with the soccer team, Riku is with the student council while Pence is revealing his photos." Olette responded taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Forget them! Did you already know the latest news?" The always hyperactive Selphie mentioned the girls sitting at the table.
"No, not again please Selph" Olette begged putting her hand over her eyes.
"Oh come on 'lette don't be a party-pooper" Selphie shamelessly patted her on the back.
"What are you two talking about?" Kairi asked curious.
"Of the new Kai, the new!" Selphie smiled eager at the redhead.
"The new?" Kairi elevate one of her perfect eyebrows confused. Olette sigh heavily and explained to them what the other chestnut was talking about.
"Roxas, the new student. Selphie is convinced that he is a model of another country or actor or something just because the guy is...attractive."
"And he is?" Xion ask before taking a bite of her apple.
"Of course he is!" Selphie replied feigning offense at the comment.
"I met him" Namine comment nonchalantly. The four girls turned to see the little blonde who was drinking water.
"Really Namine?" Olette asked and she nodded.
"When?" This time was Kairi who asked.
"In chemistry, he sat behind me and never said a word after introducing himself, he is somewhat…odd" Namine saw her friends watching her with a look as if she had grown another head.
"What?"
"Namine, dear don't take it personal but you're not exactly normal" the redhead said. Namine opened her mouth to reply but Olette was faster than her.
"My opinion is the same as Namine, that guy has something different"
"There is only one way to know if indeed he is rare or not and is getting to know him," Xion said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" Kairi asked.
"Class, I have math and if I'm late again I'll get detention"
"Honestly I don't know how can you be late when you're classroom is in this hallway." Kairi told Xion who just smiled sheepishly and left the cafeteria.
"Well it will be better if we go to class, don't you think?" Selphie suggested and the four girls left for their respective classes.
The rest of the day was pretty average until the end of classes. Gradually the building was emptying until only a few students like Namine who had been in the library finishing her art project were there.
"mmm finally finished" The petite blonde grinned at her painting of the sunset in Destiny Islands, she had never been there but she imagined the sensation of being under the warm sun of that beach.
She stored her belongings into her bag and left library, went to her locker and left most of her books in it and slowly got out of school.
"How was school?" A man's voice came out of a speaker.
"Normal, like all the schools I have attended so far," A guy sitting on the branch of a tree near the main entrance of the school was talking on his cellphone.
"By your tone I deduce you didn't find anything useful," The voice on the other side chuckled.
"I still have time; it's just the first day"
"Time is running out Roxas, got it memorized?" Annoyed the boy answered him.
"Don't "got it memorized me"...I'll end this off before the count reaches zero Axel" Roxas stated determined.
"For your sake I hope so kiddo"
"Don't tell me-" Roxas couldn't finish his sentence because Axel finished the call, sighing tiredly he shut his mobile and put it in the pocket of his pants.
With a leap he stepped off the branch landing on the balls of his feet and walked to the gate of the school. He walked quickly not wanting to encounter anyone but luck wasn't on his side because just a few meters away was a girl.
Her pale blonde hair was gathered in an improvised ponytail but still he could recognize her, she was the same girl from the chemistry class. Not wanting to answer any questions or raise suspicions he let her move away. As her figure vanished Roxas left as fast as he could lifting his hood once again to hide his face.
okay what do you think?
