Violet Truth
an excerpt

The sounds of all the kids in the orphanage drown out Naminé’s thoughts. “Why does everyone have to be so loud in the morning?” She grabs a long, black skirt and a light blue kimono top from her side of the closet. Hurriedly she gets dressed, and then reaches under her bed for a pair of black ballet flats. She always wears long black skirts, light blue kimono tops, and black ballet flats. She has deep, medium blue eyes and long silky dark blackish-brown hair. She runs a comb through her hair and twirls it up into a bun. She grabs her book bag from the floor and then runs down stairs to have breakfast before heading off to school.
“Why are you always so slow in the morning Naminé?” Kairi asks while handing a glass of milk to Naminé.
“I am not slow in the morning; I just sleep in more than anybody else.” Naminé explains while grabbing a piece of toast from the plate in the center of the table.
“That makes sense, well, I take too long to be able to do that, or I else I probably would. We should probably start walking to school now.” Kairi says while picking up her book bag from the floor.
“You are right,” Naminé says while heading toward the front door of the orphanage.
“Have a nice day at school Naminé!” Abigail yells out from the office when Naminé walks by.
“Have a nice day yourself Abigail!” She shouts in reply as she slams the front door shut.
“Naminé!” Her best friend Riku cries while running out the front door of the cottage at the end of the street to catch up with her. Riku is a girl of fifteen years, and she is tall, skinny, and very fit and athletic. She has deep, emerald green eyes and long, long silky black hair that she always has in a French braid that goes all the way down to the middle of her thighs. She is wearing a black kimono that goes all the way down to her ankles. It has slits on both sides that start from the knee. She is wearing black strappy sandals with a two inch heel.
“Riku!” Naminé squeals excitedly while stopping to let her catch up. Riku catches up to her and they start walking to school together.
