Prologue


As the school bell of Destiny High rang, Kairi stared up at her large school building. I am so not ready for another day in this mad house … She thought and sighed.

"Kairi, c'mon, we'll be late to class if you keep standing there." came a voice from next to the redhead. Kairi turned her head to face her little sister, Namine. Namine had shoulder length bleached blonde hair and eyes that matched Kairi's, which were indigo. Kairi nodded and the two entered their learning facility. "Ready for another day?" That question made Kairi wish her sister could read her mind.

As the two walked down the halls, they got their usual stares from their fellow students. Kairi didn't understand why they always did stare. It's not like they were from the circus. She let out another soft sigh and looked down at Namine, who didn't mind all the attention. Kairi … kind of envied her sister. She was more confident in herself and … prettier than Kairi was. Kairi was just shy and quiet. "Well, I gotta get to class; I'll see you later, Kairi." Namine smiled at her and hurried off. Kairi watched her for a moment before realizing the time and hurrying off as well.

Great, I'm going to be late—again! She continued to run down the hall, holding her books close to her chest so she wouldn't drop them.

"Heh, there she goes again. Always in a rush."... That voice. Kairi only ran faster and ignored it. She didn't have time to deal with … them.

The popular boys … Sora, Riku, Axel and Roxas. The remark came from Sora. He had brown, spikey hair with a hint of copper in it and deep blue eyes. He was the 'leader' of the Populars; and the most obnoxious. "Timid bitch …"

"Now, now, Sora. No need for name calling. Although we all know its true." That comment came from Sora's best friend, Riku. He was considered the hottest in the group. He had shoulder length silver hair with bangs that almost concealed his deep ocean green eyes. A laugh was heard from Axel. He was the … ditz of the group. He had fire red, spikey hair that came down past his shoulders. His eyes were a deep green color and had brown "markings", as he liked to call them, under both his eyes. He was also the most perverted in the group.

"You guys are such retards …" came the response from the youngest of the group, Roxas. He was the 'sweet one', and was also Sora's little brother. His hair had an unusual shape; it was blonde and curved up like a wave … A hairstyle that would have to take a lot of hair gel to get just right, and his eyes matched his older brother's.

"Shame on you, little bro." sneered Sora in an unimpressed tone," You should know better than to use name calling."

"Coming from the guy who just called someone a 'timid bitch.'" Roxas rolled his eyes in disgust. Sora only did the same and watched as Kairi ran around the corner.


The day ended in no time, which made Kairi relieved. She gathered up her stuff and walked out of her seventh period class. As she did, she halted when she heard, "Kairi, wait up!" She quickly spun around to see her childhood friend, Selphie, run up to her. Selphie had light brown hair that curled up to the sides of her head and bright green eyes. The redhead smiled to her and they walked out of the class together. "Sooo, are we going to the karaoke bar tonight?" Selphie asked in a sing-songy tone. "It is Friday after all!"

"I dunno."

"Aww. Well, make up your mind! I picked a great duet for us to sing!" Selphie clapped her hands excitedly. Kairi couldn't help but giggle and nodded.

"Ok."

"Yay! Ooh, this will be so much fun!" Kairi let out another giggle.

"Kairi! Selphie!" The two turned around to see Namine running up to them, waving her hand high in the air. The two smiled and waited for Namine to reach them. Once she caught up to them, the three continued to walk down the hall.

On their way toward the main entrance, they passed their least favorite people. The Populars. This time, the guys were accompanied by two girls. One had short black hair and dark brown eyes, named Yuffie. The other girl had brown hair that was tied up with a pink ribbon with a long curl going down her back and bright green eyes. Her name was Aerith. Yuffie was very athletic … and had a snobby attitude that went with it. Aerith thought she was better than everybody just because her boyfriend was the star on the varsity football team. The populars eyed the other three as they walked passed them. Kairi couldn't help but notice and watched them in the corner of her eye. She could see Sora sneer at her.

"Just ignore them." Selphie whispered to Kairi and Namine. They did so and walked out of the school. Namine stretched out her arms and smiled up at her sister and friend.

"So, what're we doing?"

"What else do we do on Friday? We're going to the karaoke bar, duh!" Selphie couldn't help but grin. Singing was one of her favorite things to do after all.

Namine chuckled. "Is it ok if I come tonight? I'm not doing anything else." Kairi and Selphie nodded and Namine grinned. Kairi then turned to Selphie.

"Say, what is the duet you chose for us?" she blinked, curious and Selphie smirked.

"Not telling, it's a surprise." Kairi rolled her eyes playfully at her friend. It was like Selphie to leave everything a surprise. But Kairi didn't mind. She liked being surprised by Selphie's song choices. As the three continued to walk across the campus grass, Kairi tilted her head up toward the clear blue sky as she tucked a strand of her short hair behind her ear. She watched the clouds drift by and let the light breeze give her skin small chills. She let herself get lost in her thoughts and began to not pay any attention to her surroundings.

"K-Kairi, watch out!"

Bam!

Kairi met face first with a low hanging tree branch and fell back. The last thing she saw was Selphie and Namine kneeling down toward her with worried looks on their faces as she heard several laughs from onlookers.


"One, two, three, four!"

Those words were accompanied with the sound of two drumsticks beating together. Shortly after a steady drum beat started with a flowing keyboard melody following. A matching bass tune came after, along with the sound of an electric guitar. The melody went on for a few moments before a voice joined in on a mic.

"There you go!
You're always so right;
it's all a big show.
It's all about you!

You think you know
what everyone needs.
You always take time
to criticize me!

It seems li—"

The singing voice was cut off when the sound of the bass went off beat. Everyone else seemed to notice as well because the music came to a stop. The singer quickly turned to the bass player with an irritated look. "Axel, what the hell?!"

"My bad, Sora! It was an accident!"

"You're an accident!" the drummer, Riku, suddenly called out. The one who played the keyboard, Roxas, laughed at Riku's remark.

"You meanies!" came Axel's childish response, along with him sticking his tongue out at Riku and Roxas.

"Whatever! Let's just take it from where we left off!" Sora sneered as he rolled his eyes. He readied his hands on his guitar and waited for everyone to follow. Riku raised his drumsticks in the air and started to beat them as before.

"One, two, three, four!" The music then started again from where it ended and Sora immediately resumed singing.

"It seems like everyday
I make mistakes;
I just can't get it right!

It's like I'm the one
you love to hate,
but not todaaay!

So shut up, shut up, shut up!
Don't wanna hear it!
Get out, get out, get o—"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" everything stopped again and Sora slammed his foot to the floor, annoyed. Everyone turned to Roxas, giving him 'WTF?' looks.

"Dammit, Roxas!" Sora yelled.

"Shut up, man, it's not my fault your singing was way off!" Roxas yelled out.

"What?!" Sora snapped.

Axel rubbed the back of his head and stared down before lightly raising his hand to comment, "Uh, Sora? Dude's kinda right …" Sora looked over to Riku, who in turn quickly looked away, as if too scared to say they were right. Sora couldn't believe what he was hearing. They all never minded his voice before. What made this time so different? His anger only built up more and more as he continued to stare at his so called friends. He then turned away from them and started to tune his guitar. The others only looked at each other, surprised he didn't have an outburst.

"Alright, fine." Roxas, Riku and Axel all looked to Sora after he said that. "If my voice sucks, what do you guys think we should do, huh? None of you can sing any better!" The room fell silent. Sora had a point.

It took a few moments before Roxas called out," We could hold auditions for a lead singer!" His comment immediately made the other three snap their heads toward him. A new lead singer?

"That … is actually a good idea …" Riku nodded his head in approval. Roxas couldn't help but smile. He looked over to Axel and waited for his response.

"I agree with Riku. It's a kick ass idea." The three then again turned to face Sora. Sora didn't even respond and still had his back turned to them all. They all waited for what seemed like an eternity. Finally …

"That idea is so stupid."

The others just stared at him like he was crazy. Then again, it was like Sora to make such a comment. He thought all ideas that weren't his own were stupid. Riku then spoke up, "Oh c'mon, Sora! You asked what we should do about it, and Roxas gave a great idea! Don't be a dumbass!" Sora snapped his head around toward Riku with a pissed off look. Riku stood his ground.

"Think about it, Sora! We could get a hot chick to be our new lead singer!" Axel couldn't help but comment, rubbing his hands together with a smirk, thinking about how it would be if his suggestion came true. That made them all think. A girl lead singer? A lead singer who's a girl? It seemed like something their band needed. Riku again nodded his head in approval and Roxas gave Axel a thumbs up. They, again, waited for Sora's response. It didn't take long before Sora spoke up.

"Yeah, alright. I like that idea." The others looked shocked, but excited. Sora actually liked one of their ideas! They all then started to plan how they were going to handle the auditions.
