I felt someone shake me awake and groaned, opening my eyes to see Riku in his uniform. It was a white button-down shirt, a paid blue tie hanging, with blue plaid pants and brown shoes. I sat up and ran my hand through my hair, growling.
“Mm…wh’t t’me ‘z I’?” I muttered, still tired.
“7:30. C’mon, we still need to eat breakfast. Sora’s going to pick us up in 20 minutes.” He said, going downstairs. I groaned.
“Ugh, I hate waking up for school…!” I groaned loudly, almost expecting Riku to reply. I sighed, finally getting out of bed and going into the bathroom to change.
……
We both had some cereal, and put our bowls away and walked outside to wait for Sora. I sighed.
“We have 10 minutes to drive to the school?” I asked, still tired. I was not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. He nodded.
“Yup. It took us 15 minutes to get there. It’ll take Sora 5.” He said, rolling his eyes. I raised a brow.
“Why don’t you drive us?” He looked at me.
“I had my license revoked, covering for Sora.” My eyes widened. We heard a screech and turned.
“Oh, that must be Sora now.” As if my eyes couldn’t get any wider. First day at the school and I was more than likely going to die from Sora driving. We saw Sora screech (literally) to a halt in front of the house. Riku walked down calmly, and I followed, but with a more panicked disposition.
“Relax, I’ve been in the car thousands of time with Sora. He hasn’t gotten into one car crash…yet.” He muttered the last part to himself, but I could still hear it. I punched him and he laughed. So he did mean for me to hear it. Bastard. Riku opened the front seat.
“Hey, Sora.” Sora smiled.
“Hey, Riku. Oh, hey {Name}! C’mon, get back!” He said, Riku sitting shotgun, while I hesitantly sat back. I put on my seatbelt quickly, and Sora smiled.
“You’re going to love it at our high school, {Name}. Aside from the populars, it’s great!” He said, as I nodded with a weak smile. I was excited for this school, that was a given…it was if I was going to make it there alive that was the question.
……
Nearly running 2 red lights, running past 1 stop sign and going 5 miles above the speed limit, we made it in the time Riku said it would take. 5 minutes. And those were the scariest 5 minutes of my life, which I questioned if there still was one. We parked in front of a random store, where there was a parking space open, and it wasn’t very far from the school. While Riku and Sora got out calmly, I got out and fell to the ground.
“Sanctuary!” I shouted, just about reading to kiss the ground, Sora laughing.
“Yeah, my driving does get taking used to. It took Riku about 4 times until he got out of that state!” He said, Riku rolling his eyes.
“Yeah, but at least you stopped in time for those red lights. 3 of those 4 times, we almost got ourselves killed.” He said, Sora shrugging.
“It was clearly yellow, and those other cars were just impatient.” He rolled his eyes, then looked at me.
“C’mon, we should take you to the front office. Principal’s probably waiting for you. I got the email last night.” He said, as I nodded, getting off the ground and following them. I frowned.
“So, where’s Kairi.” Riku let out a laugh.
“Did you not see Sora’s driving? She never gets in the same car as him, when she can drive herself. We’re going to be waiting for her out front.” He said, as I nodded.
