Chapter 1: The Start of Everything

Part I

'They say a wind brings change with it, blowing it in different directions. But change starts with the person themselves and slowly affects everything around them. As long as the wind blows, there will always be change.'

A cool autumn's breeze blew in through the window next to his bed, the kind of breeze that signals the beginning of fall yet still holds the sweet scents of the summer before. Feeling this breeze, Sora pulled the covers up higher over his sleepy head unwilling to wake up and let the day begin.

'Darn window latch…', he thought to himself.

He reached over to close it, feeling for the latch the entire time for his eyes were still heavy with sleep. Once he finally felt it and closed the window shut, he slipped under the covers and back into bed. Just as he was beginning to close his eyes, a most un-welcoming sound opened them right back up.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP BE- Slam

"There is no way I'm getting up…" Sora said to himself as pulled back his hand from the alarm clock.

Unfortunately for him, he unknowingly pressed the wrong button and instead of the off button he slammed on the "snooze" button.

15 mins. later

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP- SLAM

This time not only did he press the wrong button (again) he also shoved the clock off the nightstand and left his arm hanging over the side of the bed, too tired to pull it back.

15 mins. later

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP……

"THAT'S IT!"

Sora gets out of bed, takes his clock off the floor and throws it out his window, which was blown open once again. The clock was still beeping when he threw it, but the next thing you hear is a crash, a dog barking, and a groaning Sora.

"Well at least I didn't break the window." He said to himself.

He was ready to go back into bed, cover in hand, when a familiar voice called up to him from downstairs.

"Sora! Wake up and get ready for school right now!"

Sora released the sheet and let out a sigh. He wondered if his mom had noticed the clock falling from the sky. He also wondered what time it was.

'Guess I should have looked on the clock before I threw it out.'

"Oh well."

Sora headed towards the bathroom to begin his morning routine and let the day commence. It was after all the first day of his junior year at high school and he wanted to have time to meet his friends before the actual 'learning' started.

After he finished using the bathroom, and changed his clothes, Sora came down the stairs and into the kitchen to eat breakfast and greet his mom. He wore blue baggy jeans, a white shirt, and a dark red hoodie. And as always, his crown chain. As Sora stands in the doorway, he sees a woman frying something in a pan over the stove.

"Morning, mom."

She turns around to face her son. "Good morning Sora. Good as in actually getting up and not having me come upstairs and drag you out of bed." She says as she places her free hand on her hip.

"See? I kept my promise." Sora replied as he crossed his arms in front of him, a grin on his face, leaning against the doorway on his side.

" I still think you shouldn't have gone to that party last night." she replied as turned back to her cooking.

"Mom, it was Roxas' birthday and it's not my fault that he decided to have it on the last day of summer vacation." He stated as he made his way to the table.

"Well what's done is done. Eat your breakfast and feed Trevor before you leave. You're not the only one who didn't have breakfast yet."

She scoops the eggs and bacon she was frying out of the pan and onto a plate for Sora.

"Ok, ok, might as well feed him now."

Sora takes his hand off the chair he was beginning to pull out and steps towards the sliding doors that led to the backyard. He took his hand and cupped it around his mouth.

"Trevor! Food!"

And just like that, a golden retriever starts running towards Sora, jumping on him and knocking him out of the doorway and onto the kitchen floor.

"Easy there, Trev and sorry about the clock." Sora said, recalling his dog barking.

He tried saying it low so only Trevor could hear but unfortunately his mom picked it up as well.

"Clock? What clock?," she asked suspiciously as she placed the plate on the table and turned to face him.

'Great. Now she knows'

"No clock. None what so ever," he began as he got up, trying not to make eye contact with his mom.

"Sora Ryan Andrews! Don't tell me you threw another alarm clock out the window?"

"Ok then I won't…"

"Sora, clocks don't come free you know. Lucky for me, I bought that clock at a buy one get one free sale. The spare is in the closet," she said as she went to the sink to wash the frying pan.

Sora's mom was a typical mother. She was plain and simple, yet managed to surprise Sora in her own little ways, at least when he was a kid. Having raised him on her own, she knew her son and the two had bonded in a certain way. After Sora fed Trevor and then himself, he rushed for the door.

"Got to go! See you after school!" he said as he took his bag and opened the door.

"Don't get into trouble!"

"I'll try not to". He grabbed his skate-board from the small front porch, raced down the stairs, and hopped on.

He made his way over to Roxas' house, riding along and enjoying the usual scenery to get there. Roxas was one of Sora's best friends and his birthday yesterday was AWESOME!! It had everything a guy could want--girls, beer, friends, pool, great music,...girls! While Sora enjoyed himself, Roxas on the other hand seemed somewhat distracted, as if he was expecting someone. Sora tried figuring it out and thought of the possibility of Roxas missing his parents, which was probably the only reason they had beer at the party. They were never home, always off on some sort of business, making Roxas rich, and he did just turn 17. Maybe he wanted them there that one time? Sora decided to shrug off the thought.

'Oh well…'

He was nearing his destination and had a clear view of a sleepy Roxas coming out the door, wearing jeans, a gray shirt, and his four-pointed charm on his chain, skateboard in one hand, covering a yawn his the other. He was about to hop onto his board when he heard someone call out his name.

"Roxas! C'mon! We're gonna be late!," the voice said.

He looked around to find the source of the voice and noticed Sora riding by, motioning to him to come on.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he said sheepishly to himself as he got on his board and made his way over to the sidewalk, following Sora.

"Looks like someone partied on a little too late, huh?" Sora looked behind him and teased the tired Roxas.

"Hey! It's was only till 1:30!," he tried to defend.

"Oh right forgot…late for you is till 2."

'Big difference…' Sora thought, rolling his eyes and continuing on with his riding.

About a block away, a dark car drove along searching for two certain guys.

"C'mon, they got to be around here somewhere, they always come this way…" the guy said to the driver.

As he turned the corner, he found the two he was looking for, skateboarding down the sidewalk.

"Finally…," he said as they came closer to them.

As Sora and Roxas continued along they noticed a car come up to them and turned suspicious. Both had heard rumors around town about a pedophile going around day or night, doing what pedophiles do. It was just a rumor. But better safe then sorry right? Neither of them stopped and the car continued to follow them until it came right next to them. The car was dark blue, new, with tinted windows, and neither of them had seen it before, or the voice that now called out to them. At least so they thought.

"Hey! You two look like you could use a ride."

The voice was male, older but to that old, and when he spoke he didn't bother to roll with windows down. The two continued along, and the guy kept following.

'Oh crap, it's some crazy pedophile'… Sora thought to himself.

He looked at Roxas and knew he was thinking the same thing. They silently decided to do two things. Not find out who it is and ride as fast as they can the rest of the way to the school and not look bad. Which they did, leaving the guy confused. If only they recognized the voice, could have saved them a lot of energy and even a bit of future teasing.

When they finally reached the school and felt safe behind it's closed glass doors, dodging people and objects to even get inside, they bent over, hands on their knees and starting talking through pants and heavy-breathing about what had happened.

"Man! (pant) Was…was that a pedophile…or an…abductor?!" Roxas said breathing hard.

"Roxas… is (pant) is there a difference?" Sora replied taking his hands of knees and leaning against the wall behind him. They were standing right next to the entrance, receiving wierd glances from people around them.

"Yes!!," Roxas yelled a little too loud and noticing the glances of those around him lowered his voice so only he and Sora could hear. "one touches you!"

"Well, ok then you have a point," Sora said, his breathing returning to normal. "But we didn't even see the guy's face."

"Sora, I think we better--"

"Better what?"

The voice from behind them made them jump and turn around, for it sounded like the same voice of the guy in the car, but as the turned around they did not come face to face with a creep but with their best friend Riku. He wore a short-sleeved black shirt with jeans and looked as though he had something to say, but Sora didn't notice.

"Riku! We got to tell you something, but you have to swear you won't tell anyone!," he said quickly.

"Sure but I--"

"Well," Roxas began unaware of Riku's need to say something, "we were on our way to school and some crazy pedophile drove up to us in a dark blue car asking if we needed a ride, and we--"

That was as far as he got before Riku burst out laughing, grabbing his ribs, gasping for air, and leaving Sora and Roxas confused and slightly angry.

"Riku it's not funny!" Sora yelled at him, failing to get him to stop.

"You guys (laugh) are such wimps," he replied, still dying of laughter.

"What do you mean?" Roxas asked, still confused at the sudden burst of laughter.

"The guy in the car was MY DAD! I was in the passenger's seat next to him and we saw you two, so we decided to offer you a ride and what do you guys do? Run off like maniacs! Priceless!" Riku ended, his laughing subsiding and wiped a tear from his eye.

A bunch of questions popped up in Sora's and Roxas' heads, and started asking Riku them like mad, all at the same time.

"Woah, c'mon! One at a time!" Riku said trying to calm them down.

"YOUR DAD'S HERE?!" the two said at the same time.

"Yea," Riku started, "he came by to leave me a gift for my senior year."

"HE GAVE YOU A CAR?!" the two said together again.

"Well, yea…how else would I have a car?" he replied coolly.

" But- then, but," Sora stammered.

"He decided to drive me to school, thinking I would do something crazy with it and talked to you guys through the window 'cause he didn't know which button to use to lower it." Riku explained. "Besides, pedophiles go after young kids, not 16 and 17 year olds."

He started laughing again and Sora turned to Roxas.

"He's never gonna let it die is he?"

"Nope."

"Let's go get our schedules then."

The two started walking away, and when Riku noticed this he quit laughing and chased after the two.

"Aw man you guys are no fun." He said as broke in between them.

"Can it Riku." Sora replied.

"Ok ok, I won't tell anyone, but I hold my right to bring it up as an inside joke from time to time."

"Deal. Just don't say 'Pedophile!' every time a car passes by."

"Fine.." Riku agreed.

"Since that's over with," Roxas continued, "how about we go get our schedules?"

As they passed through the hallways, chatting amongst each other, they received glances and quite a couple of greetings. Not because of the incident that occurred near the doorway, but because these three guys happened to be the coolest boys in the school. They were cool with everyone, good-looking, and overall really nice guys.

Riku- age: 18; status: the single heart-throb. Although he's has gone on a great number of dates, he's never made the right connection with someone to go into a serious relationship. Has had various girlfriends, none lasting more than a week or two, not a virgin, unknown who the girl is though, basically a major player, but a sweet one.

Roxas- age: now 17; status: the timid skater. Roxas is the 'sweet' guy in the group. He's only gone out with two other girls in his life and the last one took him about 2 months to break up with, trying to find a way to tell her without hurting her. He, unlike Riku, takes relationships seriously and doesn't go out with just any girl. Virginity? Yes.

And last but not least….

Sora- age: 16; status: the easy-going guy. Sora's the type of guy that takes live as it comes, enjoying each moment of it. Being the youngest, he's the most naïve. Gone out many times, had a couple of girlfriends (only taking a few seriously), longest in a relationship was about 2 months, and of course a virgin. He is only 16.

'For now'… he thought.

His birthday was soon approaching, as it was in October near Halloween and it was September. Soon he would be 17, and he couldn't wait. He had an entire celebration planned and it being on Halloween only made it better. Back to reality…

They reached the main office and asked the secretary in charge of distributing schedules, for their own.

"Hello boys. How can I help you?" The secretary said as she looked up from some papers.

"Hey Ms. Strix," Riku started, " we're here for our schedules."

"Good thing I already know your names." Ms. Strix smiled.

She reached down and pulled out a filing drawer which contained all the student schedules, and started flipping through various papers.

"Mister Riku Hirosin, you're a senior, correct?" Ms. Strix asked.

"Yeah," he started as he received his schedule, "and these two are juniors this year." Riku continued, pointing to Roxas and Sora.

"Alright, what are your last names again?"

"Andrews." replied Sora.

"Rivers." Roxas answered.

She flipped through a couple more papers and handed them their pieces of paper.

"There you go and have a great year."

"You two Ms. Strix!" the three of them said in unison as they walked out.

As they stepped out into the hallway, they started asking each other about classes and periods. Sora and Roxas got the same homeroom and a couple of other classes as well. Since Riku was a year older then them, they had nothing together except lunch.

"Oh well, it just means we got to spend more time after school together." Riku smirked.

"Yeah," Roxas said, "it is the last year before you go off to college."

"Ok then! I say we go to my house after school and hang out. It's the first day of school, meaning no homework." Sora said as he put his hands behind his head, his trademark pose.

"Sure, besides knowing your mom, she'll be expecting us to come over for pizza anyways." Riku replied knowingly.

It was true, Sora's mom always invited them over for pizza on the first day. It became tradition after the three met in high school, freshmen year (sophomore for Riku). Sora had just moved from one of the other islands during the summer to attend Destiny High. He had met Roxas and Riku during lunch and the three became quick friends. They had also decided to go to the pizza parlor together after school and grab a slice. Unfortunately, they winded up going on the wrong bus and lost on the other side of town. None of them had cell phones (Riku did but he forgot it at home) and fortunately for them they were able to catch a taxi in the desolate part of town, paying when they got home. Since then, Sora's mom always invited them over for pizza instead of having them go get it and risking the same thing happening again. They didn't complain though, just meant they didn't have to go that far for a slice. They continued talking about their plans when a girl walked to Roxas, one Sora nor Riku had seen before. She lightly tapped him on the shoulder and as he turned around, realizing who it was, turned a deep crimson. At this point, Riku dragged Sora off to give Roxas a moment, leaving Sora confused.

"Hey Roxas." She said. The girl was blonde and a little shorter than Roxas, yet had blue eyes that could match his own.

"Oh…uh, h-hi Namine." Roxas stuttered, trying to hide his blushing from her.

"Sorry I couldn't come to your party yesterday, I was out of town and didn't even come back till this morning." She explained.

"It's okay, you didn't have to come…" he said, scratching the back of his head still trying to hide his face.

"Well, I still wanted to give you something." Namine replied, playing with her fingers.

Roxas turned around to face her about to say something but was stopped when he felt a pair of soft lips kiss his cheek, making him turn even redder.

"We broke up…" she whispered into his ear before she ran off and yelled out to him over her shoulder.

"Happy birthday, Roxas!"

Roxas put his hand on his cheek and couldn't stop the smile growing on his face.

'wow….'

But his thoughts were interrupted as Riku and Sora popped up out of not where.

"So she's the one you were looking for, huh?" Sora spoke.

Roxas, realizing he still had his hand on his cheek, quickly moved his hand and answered.

"What?" he replied, surprised that someone had noticed his distantness.

"I noticed you were kind off distracted."

"Well yeah…"

"So tell us about her man!" Riku pressed, putting a hand on Roxas' shoulder.

"Her name's Namine-," Roxas started.

"We got that, details, Roxas, details!"

Riku was always interested in girls. Especially pretty ones. Roxas noticed this and Sora noticed the look on Roxas' face.

"Don't get any ideas now Riku," Sora warned.

"I know that, I can tell Roxas here really likes this one and that doesn't happen all the time." Riku said making Roxas blush again, embarrassed at the fact that it was so obvious. Shaking it off, he continued to explain.

"Well anyway, I met her during the vacation, at the beach…"

"So you saw her in a bikini, huh?" Riku elbowed the still-red Roxas.

"Shut up Riku," Roxas said as he shoved him, yet still red. "Let me finish. Well anyway, she did look pretty hott in it," Roxas said in a far off voice, putting his hand to his chin and quickly snapped out of it, "but that's not the point."

"The point is that you met her, invited her to your party and she didn't show, right?" Sora said trying to get it over with.

"Yup. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks, Sora." Roxas said.

"No problem. Now what we should really should be focusing on, is how we get her to go out with you." He snickered and Roxas punched him on he arm.
