Chapter 1- New Places, Old Faces.

Dear Diary,

I just moved back to the other side of the island, where I was born, and raised for part of my life, up until Elementary school that is. We just moved into our new beach side home. I've missed it here so much. My old best friend, Namine, doesn't know I'm back. I highly doubt anyone even remembers me. Last time anyone saw me was in 5th grade. And I was only 10. Now I'm 15, soon 16. Eleventh grade now. The people who I remember the most are Sora, Namine, and Riku. Sora and Riku were best friends and everyone loved them. I had a crush on Sora while Namine had one for Riku. They would talk to us, but we hardly hung out and never did outside of school. I wonder if they remember me? Probably not. I wonder if Namine will? Sure hope so. It's my first day back to school, except I'm going to Destiny High. At least mine and Cloud's family came together, so I know for a fact that I have a friend at school. Cloud is my friend from my old school. Both mine and his parents work together and got job offers here. He just happens to live next door (thank goodness). Well I better get to school, so I'm not late. Hope everything goes well!

Love Always, Kairi

"Kairi! Are you ready yet? Cloud's waiting!" My mom called from downstairs. I glanced at my slightly opened door and sighed. I stuffed my blue diary into my bedside table, grabbed my bag, and looked at my reflection in the mirror. There isn't anything special about me. There was nothing unique, nothing to make me stand out from the rest; dark red-brown hair and blue eyes. I'm not super out going, but a lot more compared to when I was younger. I sighed again and walked down stairs.

"Hey Cloud," I said with a smile as he came into view. Cloud was a couple months older than me, making him sixteen all ready. His blond hair stood up in every way possible- almost as if he over gelled his hair in a windstorm. His blue eyes were shining with mystery. Cloud stood five or six inches taller than me by the time I stood next to him. I could tell by his smile that he was ready for school. He was going to be popular, just like he was at our old school.

"Hey Kairi," Cloud greeted me.

"Are you two ready?" My mom asked. We nodded as she opened the front door. Cloud and I sat in the backseat of my mom's car. As soon as my mom started to pull out of the driveway, I gazed out the window at the scenery as we drove to the high school. I tried to hold my breath to calm myself down.

My heart was pounding deep inside my chest since I was so nervous to go to my new school. I hated going to new schools, it was a real fear of mine. I hated not knowing what to expect and who you might meet. It wasn't long until we pulled up to Destiny High School. My mom glanced at us through the rearview mirror. "Have a good first day back. Want me to pick you guys up?"

"That's okay, mom," I replied stepping outside. "Thanks. I Love you. Bye," I added quickly.

"Thanks for the ride, Mrs. H. Bye!" Cloud said closing his door. My mom waved good bye and drove off. We stood on the lawn and gazed at the school. DHS was huge compared to my old school. It was two stories with beige bricks. You could tell it was still a fairly new building.

"Ready?" I asked quietly. Cloud looked down at me and nudged his arm into mine.

"Oh come on Kairi, you'll be okay. Hey, at least we got put in the same classes. You'll do fine. We'll always stick together, right?" He said with a soft smile, putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Right," I said feeling a little better. "Thanks Cloud."

"Hey, that's what friends are for." He looked up at the school again. "Well, let's go." He said pulling me forward. "So do you think Sora, Riku or Namine will remember you?"

"Yeah right," I said. "Possibly Namine will. But then again, who knows if I'll recognize her or if she'll recognize me."

"True." So much for the confident booster Cloud. "Hey, didn't you say that Namine was really pretty?" Cloud asked. I laughed looking up at him as a smirk appeared.

"Cloud! She was ten! She's probably gorgeous beyond belief now," I winked.

"You need to introduce us, Kai. Please!" He begged clasping his hands together. Cloud quickly regained his posture, "I mean… you know, if you think she's worthy of me." He cleared his throat after trying to sound manly. I bit my lip and tried not to laugh.

"I will. That is if she still lives here or even remembers me." He smiled. By this time we had already entered the school. There were tons of students roaming around the halls and scrounging through their lockers.

"What room first?" Cloud asked looking around. I pulled my schedule out from my back pocket and looked at it.

"203," I said. "So that's upstairs."

"What about our lockers?" He asked looking at his schedule. "Mine's 214."

"Mine's 215. So again, upstairs."

"Well, let's go." We walked up one of the stairways. He counted the lockers as we passed them. "211, 212, 213, ah, 214." We opened our lockers and put our bags away after pulling out our science books.

"Where's 203?" I asked closing my locker and leaning against it.

"Down a couple classes, I suppose. We have a couple of minutes to spare before class starts," Cloud said closing his locker. A very pretty girl with bright blonde hair and piercing blue eyes opened the locker next to me. She looked awfully familiar to me. I got up and accidentally bumped into a boy with chocolate brown spiky hair. He never turned around to face me. He just walked away as if he were on a mission. His friend with silvery hair walked at the same pace.

"Watch where you're going," He barked coldly. I glared at him as he walked away. Cloud started to head towards the inconsiderate jerk.

"Cloud, no!" I said grabbing his arm and trying with all my might to hold him back. The brunet's friend turned around, while the jerk walked down the hall and into a classroom. His friend came up to us. He was just about as tall as Cloud. It looked like the two were about to rip each others heads off. The girl next to my locker stepped in, putting her hand up in front of them.

"Riku, no," She said firmly. 'Wait, did she just say Riku?' I examined his features. He had aqua marine eyes and a very matured face for our age. He looked fairly strong as well. The one trait that stood out the most was his shoulder-length silver colored hair. The girl spoke up again. "Sorry about that. Sora's just pissy and Riku's just helping out a friend. My name is Namine." My mouth dropped open. I shook my head in disbelief. Leave it to me not to realize it was them as soon as I saw them. This was way too overwhelming. I looked up noticing the three of them were looking at me. Cloud nudged me. I knew that he knew these were the people I always talked about.

"Hi," I decided to see if they remembered me. "I'm Kairi."

"I knew a girl named Kairi, but she moved a while back. She was pretty cute, too. I remember Sora ha-" Riku started before he was interrupted by Namine elbowing him in the stomach.

"Riku! She's the same Kairi!" Namine yelled. She looked at me with her head slightly tilted, "you did live here before right?" I nodded with a smile. "Oh my gosh! My best friend is back!" She said hugging me as I laughed.

"Wow, Kairi. You look good." Riku was looking at me. I blushed.

"Heh, thanks Riku," I said after Namine let me go. I looked at them with a smile. Namine was looking at Cloud and myself.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Namine asked looking at Cloud.

"Oh, no. He's just one of my best friends," I said.

"Hi, my name's Namine," she said smiling. Cloud stood a little closer to her.

"What a beautiful name to fit such a beautiful person." Cloud said with a warm smile. 'Geez, such a charmer.' I smiled. "My name is Cloud." Namine blushed at the compliment.

"Well, let's get to class before we get in trouble," Riku said. "What room are you guys in?"

"Well, Cloud and I have group 'B' classes," I said. This school system was strange. We were all divided into groups of 14 or so students. You would share classes with them, while a different group was combined with yours for each class. Seriously, who does that?

"Same with Riku and me!" Namine said cheerfully. Thank goodness I had them with me in the same group. This would make my life that much easier.

"Well, let's go," Riku said. Cloud and Riku walked in front of Namine and me on our way to class. They shook hands and I was pretty sure they were apologizing for over reacting.

Namine leaned into me. "Cloud's pretty good looking," she whispered.

"I know his taste for girls and I can tell he likes you," I whispered back.

"Really?" She replied excitedly. I nodded with a smirk.

"So why was Sora in such a bad mood?" I asked curiously since I couldn't stop picturing him pushing passed me.

"Christy Jillings broke up with him," Riku answered who obviously overheard.

"Who?"

"Christy is pretty, rich, and stuck up. She only went out with Sora to increase her popularity." Namine rolled her eyes. I was still slightly confused.

"Hey, Christy is okay once you get to know her. You just wouldn't take the time," Riku replied to her. Cloud and I looked at each other not wanting to get in the middle of it.

"I didn't want to know her," Namine retorted. It was obviously as simple as that. We opened the door to room 203 and walked inside.
