“Get up!” Someone said, shaking me. “You have breakfast to make!”
I groaned and sat up, rubbing my eyes. “All right, All right, Kairi.” I said when I could see who was in my room.
“Hurry up, or we’ll be late.” She said and glared at me. Then she turned on her heel and left the room.
I stood up and looked in the mirror on my small dresser. My jet black hair was tangled and messy and there were shadows under my violet eyes. It was the nightmare again.
It was always the same. I was surrounded in darkness, running. Trying to find my way out. Then my father appears, holding his hand out to me. I run to him as fast as I can, but I never get any closer. Then I see Sora, keyblade out and ready, strike down my father. That usually when I wake up. But last night, it continued. It showed my father disappear into nonexistence, such the fate of a Nobody. And Sora watched all the while as my father spoke his final words. Words I couldn’t hear and didn't know.
I rubbed my eyes one more time and then I pulled out the Destiny Island High School’s uniform. It’s a white button up shirt, blue plaid tie and skirt. I pulled them on and got my shoes. I brushed my hair and then I walked down into the kitchen. Since there wasn’t enough time, I poured cereal and milk into bowls and placed them out on the table where Leon, Tifa, and Kairi were already sitting. Tifa shot me a glare.
“What is this?” She asked.
“Cereal and milk. I didn't have enough time to make anything else.” I explained.
“Maybe if you had gotten up sooner, you would have had enough time.” She snapped.
“I'm very sorry. It won’t happen again.” I said, already resolving to put leeches in her food next time she made me cook, which would be for dinner, of course. Sigh.
“Oh, and Andi, my paper is due tomorrow. Did you finish it yet?” Kairi asked me/
“Just the last paragraph is missing. It’ll be done before dinner.” I assured her.
“It had better be.”
I nodded and then walked into the kitchen to clean up while they ate. When I finished I grabbed the car keys and walked back into the dining room. Tifa was gone and Leon and Kairi were standing by the door, waiting for me. I walked past them and opened the door.
“You better hurry up. I can’t be late meeting up with Riku.” Kairi said to me.
I rolled my eyes, refusing to let her taunt me, and opened the car door. Kairi slid into the passenger side and Leon lounged in the back. I slipped into the driver side and sat down… on something wet and sticky. I stood up as best I could and touched where I sat. My hand came up black. Ink. I glared at Leon, who was trying to hold back laughter.
“You're losing your edge.” I said. “A little ink isn’t going to hurt me.”
He sobered up. “Oh there's more, trust me.”
I sighed and sat down again, putting the key in the ignition. I turned it and car roared to life. Looking behind me, I backed out of the drive way and drove down the street to Destiny Islands High School.
About five or so minutes later, I reached the parking lot and was driving around it, looking for a space to park the car. When I found one, Kairi was the first one out, followed by Leon. I was last out, pulling my backpack out behind me and walked inside, towards my locker. Upon reaching said locker, Hatori pranced up to me.
“Tell me everything.” She said.
I opened my locker and looked for the spare uniform I usually kept in there. I couldn’t find it. I moved around books and bags. Nothing.
“Damnit… tell you what?” I said, still searching for my uniform.
“What happened with Kairi and Riku!” She said. “And what are you looking for in there?”
“My spare uniform. Leon put in on the driver’s seat again.” I explained. “And there's nothing else to say. Riku and Kairi just broke up. There were water works, though. That’s the only juicy detail I have.”
“Don't you have another one in your gym locker? I mean Leon could have gotten to this one. But hes not allowed in the girls locker room.” Hatori replied. “What did Riku say to her exactly? Was he like,” She got a deeper voice, “I need someone who is less of a bitch, or, you aren’t what I need any more. I need someone who is more like me?”
“None of that. He just said that he doesn’t think that they should start going out again.” I told her and grabbed the books I needed, closing me locker.
She squealed, “That means you have a chance!”
I started heading to my gym locker, “Not likely. I'm not exactly anyone people line up to talk to. People avoid me because of Xaldin and because Roxas killed him.”
“Well how about the valentines ball? Everyone will be wearing masks.” Hatori volleyed.
I pushed the door to the locker room open. “What about my eyes? No one else has violet eyes. And my hair. I also have the longest hair. It’s not exactly easy to be anonymous when my two identifying traits are the most noticeable.”
“Easy. Colored contacts and we can either loop your hair or do it in tight curls to make it look shorter.” She said.
Damnit, I'm running out of excuses, I thought. “Fine. I’ll go.” I unlocked my gym locker and searched thought it. “Damnit. This one is gone too. Guess I'm walking around this with an inked up uniform all day.” I sighed.

*      *      *

While sitting in first period, the PA system went off.
“Just a reminder to all students, the Valentines ball is this Friday. Following the theme, Students should wear either white pink or red. It is a masquerade. So be sure to wear a mask. It will be held at…”
I blanked the rest of it out, turned to Sora, and raised an eyebrow at him. He grinned.
“Looks like that’s our chance to get some girls.” He said.
I laughed a little. “You know it, buddy.”
We high fived.
“Want to go to the island after school, today?”
I shrugged, “Sure. Why not.”

After school, Sora and I met up at my locker. I threw my school stuff in the locker and we headed out of the school, towards the beach. We walked in silence and when we were almost there, Sora spoke, pointing at the beach.
“Who is that down there?” He asked.
I followed his finger and saw the silhouettes of what looked like two girls, playing with swords. “I dunno. Let’s get a closer look.”
Sora nodded and we walked towards them. As we got closer the features of the girls became clearer. One had blonde hair and the other had black. They were sparring with wooden swords. The swords that I gave to Andi that used to be mine and Sora's. Our names were etched into the hilts. From the looks of it, the black haired girl was winning. The blonde jabbed and the other girl parried the sword out of the blondes hand into her own. She held one of her swords to the back of the blonde’s neck and the other to her throat.
“Yield.” She said.
The blonde held up her hands in surrender and the black haired one handed her back the sword. I clapped. The girls snapped their heads towards Sora and I, their expressions a mix of shock and surprise. The black haired girl mouthed one word.
“Bravo, bravo.” I said. “You're pretty good with a sword, Andi.”
She stared at me, panting, “What are you doing here, Riku?”
“I came to see you.” I said.
She relaxed a bit, entering her comfort zone. “Yeah, yeah. Why are you really here?”
“Cutting to the chase as usual, Andi.” I chucked. “Sora,” she flinched back slightly, “and I were going to go to the island. Nut when we saw you two sparring, we decided we’d come and check it out.” I explained. “You seem to know your sword play. I taught you well. Let’s see if the student can beat the master.”
“Ha! You never taught me. Before my father left, I only watched you and Sora play with these things. After… well after I practiced on my own. You, Roxas, and Kairi were too busy to pay me any mind anymore.” She looked kind of sad as she said that.  I couldn’t blame her. She was right.
“Well then. Maybe you should try to defeat me and Sora. If you can’t, maybe I will teach you how to wield the sword properly. Maybe even let you try a keyblade.” I grinned and summoned my Way to Dawn Keyblade. “That is, if you are ready for one.”
She opened her mouth as if to say something. Then she caught Hatori’s eye. Andi closed her mouth, reconsidering. It raised a little red flag. But I would ask her about it later. If I remembered, of course.
She shot a glance at Sora and narrowed her eyes. Then she looked back at me. “Is that a challenge?”
“Only if you accept.” I countered, letting my keyblade vanish.
Sora put a hand on my shoulder, “That’s not a good idea, Riku, we should just go to the island.”
I shrugged his arm off, my eyes on Andi, challenging. “Well?” I prodded.
“I accept.” She said, just ask her phone rang. She sighed. “Hang on. I need to take that.” She grabbed her phone, opened it, and put it to her ear, walking a ways down the beach.
I looked at Hatori. She's Andi's best friend so she would know about Andi's flinch, and why she stopped Andi from saying something, something that they both might want to keep secret. I doubt Sora noticed anything. He can be pretty dim sometimes.
“What’s up with Leonheart?” Sora asked.
Hatori looked at him in confusion. “I didn't know you cared.”
“Just tell me why she glared at me, and flinched when Riku said my name, and why she called me Roxas. That’s not even my name.” He said, shoving his hands in his pockets.
“I figured you would know.” She snapped. “Its because of you that she's treated like a leper even more now then she was before the two of you blew up this planet.” She glared at me kind of accusingly, though I know she was just making a point.
“No offence taken or anything.” I said jokingly.
“What di—” I covered Sora's mouth with my hand.
“Just shut up, Sora.” I Said.
He crossed his arms and looked away. I removed my hand and sighed.
“I just don’t know why she doesn’t like me.” He said. “I saved the worlds. Twice.”
I slapped my forehead.
Hatori let out a loud “HA!” We both looked at her.
“Why don’t you ask Xaldin why she hates you.” She said.
Andi walked back and looked at me. “I can’t fight you today. I have to go home. Rain check?”
I nodded. “Sure. How’s a week from Friday, after school, right here?”
She nodded.  “Sure. Later Riku. Goodbye, Roxas” She said when she regarded Sora. “Come on, Hatori.”
Sora muttered something about his name being Sora under his breath. Hatori and Andi grabbed their stuff and walked off.
When they were out of ear shot, Sora spoke. “How can I ask Xaldin why Andi hates me? He's dead.”
I wacked up upside the head. “You idiot. Try and put two and two together.”
“I don’t see how if would effecter her. It’s not like they were related. Her father was Dilan—Oooh.” Sora said once realization hit. “If she's his daughter then there's something that I need to tell her.”
I sighed. “You idiot.”

*      *      *

“Tifa is going out. She’ll be gone by the time we get there. She wants me to make sure all the rooms are clean. So do you want to hand out there while she's gone?” I asked Hatori.
“Sure. I can help out. And we can talk dance stuff.” She giggled. “I think you’ll look best in black.”
I rolled my eyes.  “Yeah, yeah. We can talk when we get there. Leon is probably out with friends as well as Kairi.”
She nodded and we walked the rest of the way to my house in silence. We walked in, quickly made sure all the rooms were clean. Then we made our way up to my attic room to talk dance and dress details.
“I want to make a dare with you.” Hatori told me after a while.
“What’s that?”
“I dare you, at the dance, to ask Riku to dance with you.”

I have no clue about Kingdom Hearts but I know that this story is shaping up really well. Cinderella was one of my favourite stories growing up, the other was Hansel and Gretel. Awesome job!
