First Day of School

Standing in front of the building, watching other students filter in, the three teens exchange glances. "It's the start of a new school year." Olette says. She takes in a very long, deep breath, and lets it out slowly. "I'm nervous..."

Pence laughs, and says "Don't be," patting her on the shoulder reassuringly.

But Hayner dead-pans: "The girls uniform has a really short skirt, you should be nervous."

Both his friends whirl around to look at him.

First Day of School

"Again." Fuu says, blankly staring at the school infront of her. It's probably lunch time by now, as a few students begin to step outside, sitting on the steps and in the grass. Fuu tilts her head to look up at Seifer, who just shrugs.

"Maybe we should start trying to get to school on time this year, y'know?" Rai suggests. He hands Fuu and Seifer their school bags he'd been carrying, and shrugs his own backpack uncomfortably.

"Whatever. It's lunch time, now," Seifer says.

First Day of School

It's very nostalgic to enter the school after so long. Sora recalls visiting it when he was still in middle school - before the adventure. Riku remembers forcing himself through boring classwork, wishing class would get out so he could pick his friends up from the middle school. Kairi remembers sitting in her classes, idly wondering when her friends would return.

The boys stare in awe at the hallways and doorways and classrooms and the distinct smell of a school. Kairi forces them to hold hands all the way to their classrooms. They don't really mind.

When they reach Sora's class, he scratches his cheek nervously. Kairi reaches forward and straightens his tie, while Riku spends a moment fussing over his hair.

"Don't be so motherly," The brunette whines. Kairi laughs and kisses his right cheek while Riku kisses his left cheek. Then gropes him. For good measure, Kairi gropes him too. Then they both run to their classroom, wincing as Sora shouts his revenge after them.
