Namine sat in the bus, watching the ocean pass by as they crossed over the bridge to the island. She couldn't believe that her dad had sent her to Destiny Academy with her cousin, and even before asking her.
"It'll be great Namine. You can meet all my friends, but first you need to know the rules," Kairi told me from her seat beside me.
"I've read over the handbook, I pretty sure I know what they are," Namine told her.
"Not those rules silly, the ones that aren't written," Kairi told her.
"Okay, what are they," Namine asked. She knew that it would do no good to object.

We're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
Roxas tapped his foot to the beat of the song as he leaned back on the tree behind him. He looked down at the iPod in front of him. He'd done so many jobs and saved up so much and finally he'd gotten it.
"ROXAS," Roxas jumped at the loud voice. He pulled the earphones out of his ears and looked up to see Larxene, one of his friends, standing over him.
"Do you have to yell," Roxas asked.
"The coach told me to come and get you. He said you a have help set up classrooms," Larxene told him. Roxas turned off his hard earned iPod and put it in his pocket. He followed Larxene in to the school.
"Roxas, help Demyx clean up that class and Larxene you come with me," the coach instructed when he saw them walking into the building. Roxas turned into a room where he saw Demyx was already cleaning desks.
"Need some help," Roxas asked as got a rag out of the bucket of water and he started to clean the desks.
"Hey Roxas, watch this," Demyx told him. Roxas looked over to see that Demyx had the floor covered in water in one section.
"Demyx, don't…," too late, Demyx ran and jumped in the water. He slid a little ways then his feet came out from under him.
"Hey, you guys need some…," Larxene started but she couldn't finish because just as she came in the room Demyx slid into the desk that had the bucket of water on it and the bucket fell off, completely soaking Larxene on its way down. Roxas climbed up on the teacher's desk to avoid the flood of water that was now covering the floor.
"Dance water, Dance," Demyx yelled splashing in the water.
"DEMYX," Larxene screamed and ran after the boy. Roxas folded over laughing at the sight of Demyx and Larxene chasing each other around and slipping and sliding in the process. Soon they tired down and Roxas climbed off the desk and hit the tile floor with a small splash.
"Well, on the bright side we don't have to mop this floor," Roxas told them with another slight laugh.

The bus finally pulled up to the school gates, after what had been hours of sitting in the uncomfortable seats. Namine grabbed her belongings and climbed off. She looked forward at the school in front of her. It had one enormous building and then about four other buildings that made a half circle, two on each side, behind it.
"Okay, tour time. The class building is the largest, and then the four in the back are dorms. The two on the left are for girls and the other two are for boys. The space in between is the court yard where most kids hang out," Kairi explained as they walked past the iron gates that connected to a gray stone wall. "So what room do you have," she added.
"Two thirty-one," Namine told her.
"That's my room. Great, I thought that I was only going to room with Larxene this year. That would have been so bad," Kairi told her.
"Is Larxene nice," Namine asked a little frightened.
"Not to me. She usually hangs out with my cousin and all his friends. They're always in trouble, about to be, or laying out a plan to be," Kairi explained as they walked through the hallways that were filled with girls and bags and such.
"Oh," was all Namine said as Kairi unlocked the door to the room.

Yesterday is a wrinkle one your forehead,
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken,
Don't close your eyes; Don't close your eyes,
This is your life, and today is all you've got now,
Roxas listened to the music as he lay on his bed. He had gotten done with all the work he was suppose to so he finally got to rest. Demyx was sitting across the room playing with his laptop which he had bought with his work money and let Roxas use it to download songs to his iPod. Soon the door to there room flew open and a familiar red head appeared.
"Finally, I thought I'd never get back," the red head moaned tossing his duffle bag on the empty bed.
"So I guess you had a tough summer Axel," Demyx asked turning off the laptop and Roxas did the same with his iPod.
"I can't stand my Aunt. She always wants to know what I'm doing or where I am. It gets so annoying, and my cousin is even worse, I don't even think I'm related to those people," Axel complained as he started to unpack. "So what did you guys do around here," he added.
"The usual, the beach, skate park, odd jobs," Roxas answered.
"Hey, you want to go down to the Spot and get something, you know as a welcome home for the Axel and the others," Demyx suggested.
"Sure," Roxas answered.
"Let's go," Axel said leaving half his stuff in his duffle back and the other half thrown over all the bed. They walked out into the hall and down to a room where they knocked on the door. Soon a blue haired teen came to the door.
"Haven't been here ten minutes and you guys are already busting down the door," he said with a slight laugh.
"So how did Camp Happy Time go," Roxas asked walking in the room to see another boy with pink hair.
"Don't mention that name. I swear I will never look at clowns the same way again," the one with pink hair said with a slight cringe.
"Come on Marluxia, it couldn't have been that bad I mean come on," Demyx said sitting on a blue couch that was in a corner.
"You've got know idea. I didn't think that I would make it out alive," Marluxia said.
"And it's your entire fault. I slipped and accidentally got cut on your scissors and my mom freaked out and we get sent to some freak camp," the one with navy head started walking toward Demyx.
"Now come on, Zexion, you don't want to hurt me on the first day, why not wait until next month or so," Demyx said with a fake laugh and getting up from the couch and moving toward the door. Zexion still came closer and he did look like he was about to strangle Demyx. Then, with a squeak, Demyx ran out of the room and Zexion shot after him.
"Think we should go save him," Axel asked.
"Marluxia should, Zexion is his brother," Roxas said.
"You can forget that," Marluxia said as he started to put things in his closet.
"Fine, I will," Roxas said with a sigh and left the room to go catch his other two friends.

Namine was amazed when she walked into the dorm room. The room was pure white except for one bed in the corner that had a black bedspread and beside the bed was wooden desk where a girl, only a few years older than Namine, was sitting looking at a laptop.
"Hello Larxene," Kairi said.
"What, you're back," she asked looking around and then she noticed Namine.
"And who might you be," she asked.
"Namine," Namine told her.
"Don't touch my stuff and don't put anything on my wall, got that," Larxene told her.
"Alright," Namine replied and Larxene got a creepy smile on her face.
"I think that we will get along great then," she told her and right about that time two boys came barging done the hall.
"I didn't mean to," one seemed to be yelling. Then a boy stopped at their door.
"What's the matter with you, Roxas," she asked as Namine looked at the boy. He had dark blonde hair and he was wearing a navy t-shirt with dark, baggy jeans.
"Can you help, Zexion is after Demyx," he panted.
"Get out of our room you freak," Kairi told him.
"Yeah, come on," Larxene told him as she went out of the room and followed Roxas.
"Rejects," Namine heard Kairi mumble.
"What was the matter with him," Namine asked.
"They're rejects, and one of the unwritten rules is to not hang out with them, or you will become one yourself," she explained as she started to put her clothes in the closet. Namine couldn't understand, what was so different about them?
