Axel
Riku
Roxas
Sora
These four names were handwritten on the half-sheet of printer paper that was posted to the door in front of Roxas. He stared up at it with wonder. This was his first time in a boarding school, and to be frank, he wasn't thrilled to be here, nor did he have any idea why he was here.
Only a few days before, he and his twin sister, Xion, had each received a letter claiming that they had won a mysterious contest that they had never heard of before, much less entered, and their prize was a full ride scholarship to this prestigious boarding school in the middle of nowhere.
Everyone in the family found it strange, but Xion had somehow been able to convince their parents that this was an excellent opportunity that would never happen again. She also argued that this would help save money (not that they needed to worry about such things). Their parents agreed eagerly. Roxas didn't, but there was nothing a pushover can do when their stubborn sister is looking at you with puppy eyes.
Roxas shook his head and looked at the door again. He slowly turned the handle and pushed the door open. He expected the room to be empty, but instead encounter a most peculiar scene.
Two unknown boys, about Roxas' age, were fighting with wooden swords. One was older looking, and more feminine while the other was boyish and wore an excited look on his face.
Roxas was amazed at the scene before him. Neither appeared to have the advantage, and the area around them was completely untouched by their strange brawl.
Not knowing what to do, he stared into the room, his backpack slowly slipping off of his shoulder. It eventually fell completely, creating a large echoing thump in the deserted hallway. The boyish fighter glanced over at Roxas with wide eyes, causing him to stumble over a piece of loose carpet.
Taking advantage of this distraction, the other boy smacked the wooden sword out of his opponent's hand and elbowed him in the stomach.
Roxas' jaw dropped as the victim of the attack flew backwards and crashed into the wall to the right of the door. Roxas jumped away, startled. He watched the victor of the battle strut over, laughing.
"Guess we know who's better, don't we, Sora?" he scoffed with amusement. His opponent, Sora, sat up and glared viciously.
"Oh shut up Riku, that doesn't count! That weird kid in the doorway distracted me." he protested. Roxas cringed at the accusation and began to back away.
"So." Riku countered, "I didn't get distracted. So that just proves that I am better than you.
Sora clutched his forehead and groaned.
"Great, now the score's 499 to 500!"
Roxas couldn't take his eyes off the two. They were so strange. It was obvious now that they were actually friends, but why they were fighting in the first place was still a mystery.
Both Riku and Sora were laughing now, and it seemed as though they had forgotten that Roxas was alive, or even existing. Not that he minded. These boys were too weird for him. Not only that, but he doubted that they would even like him. After all, these two seemed to be popular. Popular kids didn't like the shy boy who sat in the back of the class everyday in silence.
He shrugged again and picked up his backpack, wondering who his roommates were going to be. He began to enter the room when Sora appeared out of nowhere right in front of him. His crystal blue eyes were wide with innocence and amusement.
"And you are..." he asked Roxas, cocking his head to one side like a puppy, a goofy smile spread across his face.
Roxas stumbled backwards a few steps. Though he should have, he was not expecting this boy to be so childish. Judging by the way he was fighting he had witnessed earlier, Roxas would have guessed that Sora was a pretty serious athlete.
"Well?" Sora questioned, interrupting Roxas' thoughts. Roxas blinked but said nothing.
"Stop scaring him Sora. He's obviously one of our room mates." Riku commented. "I'm guessing... Axel?"
Wait, roommates? I don't remember their names on the list..." Roxas pondered, stepping back slightly. He peeked around the edge of the door and sure enough, Riku and Sora were two of the names.
He stared at it, dumbfounded. Inside the room, he could here Sora and Riku arguing again.
"His name is obviously Axel!" Riku said.
"No, it's gotta be Sora."
"... you dumb-ass! That's your name!"
"Oh, well I meant Roxas, okay!"
"Yeah right."
"It's true!"
"Uh huh. Anyway, his name is Axel."
"Roxas!"
"Axel!
"Roxas!"
"Axel!"
"Watcha' doin'?"
Roxas jumped slightly as two wet arms wrapped around his neck.
"Roxas!"
"Axel!"
"Roxas!"
"Axel!"
Roxas stood in shock in front of the room, water dripping onto his face. The strange stranger still had his arms tightly around Roxas' neck.
"So, what are you doin'?" the person asked. "And why are there two hot guys fighting?"
Roxas opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by the a loud crash.
Sora was standing in the doorway his eyes wide, Riku standing not far behind. Roxas felt his face flush red as the two in the doorway stared.
"Awkward..." Sora said, taking a step back. Riku was behind him, a smirk on his face.
"And you would be?"
Roxas saw a hand go past his face.
"The name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?"
Sora and Riku watched the stranger behind Roxas. Finally Sora burst out;
"See! I told you his name was Sora, I mean, Roxa – no, Sor – wait no Roxas, yeah! Roxas!" He shot a fist into the air, a look of pure joy written across his face. Riku rolled his eyes and slapped his friend over the head.
"It doesn't matter you dork."
It obviously did matter, but Roxas could tell that Riku was to proud to admit it. The person behind Roxas, Axel, finally released him and Roxas turned to see who his final roommate was.
Axel was a lanky teenager with long, red, gravity defying hair. His sea green eyes were accented by abnormal teardrop shaped marks under them. He was dripping wet, shirtless, wearing only a swimsuit and a white towel draped over his shoulder.
He reached forward and ruffled Roxas' hair.
"Sorry 'bout earlier. You just looked like you needed a hug."
Roxas knocked his hand away and hid his now crimson face from view. Axel just laughed.
"Well, now you know who I am, I need to know who you guys are." he said, still amused.
"Okay," Sora began slowly, "but first, why are you dressed like that?"
Axel looked down. "Oh right. Sorry. I was bored and decided to take a swim, but that's not really important." he grinned. "Now, your names?"
"I'm Sora, this is Riku, and the silent one you were hugging earlier is Roxas." Sora explained.
"Roxas huh, so even his name's hot." Axel muttered.
Riku snorted and face-palmed his forehead. Sora looked confused and asked;
"How can his name be hot? Is it on fire?"
Axel and Riku laughed while Sora looked around confused. Roxas just examined his new roommates. He decided that next time he saw Xion, he was going to convince her that staying here was not good for his health seeing he is going be killed by his insane roommates in the very near future.
Right now, however, he guessed that he had no choice but to give in and put his stuff in the room. None of the others noticed him slip by into the room. Riku and Axel were still laughing at Sora and the poor boy had begun to protest. Roxas felt sorry for him, but said nothing and turned towards the room with a deep sigh.
As there were to be four boys living there, it was a large, four bedroom dorm with a living room, but no kitchen or bathroom. Roxas walked towards the center of the living room where Riku and Sora had deposited there stuff. It was also the place they had been fighting.
He sighed again and collapsed onto the nearest couch, not caring about which room would be his.
This school was not what he had expected it to be, but then again, he didn't know what to expect in the first place. He was beginning to regret not standing up to Xion about coming here. After all, this was a school in the middle of nowhere, the people that Roxas had met so far had been the oddest people yet, and who knew what the teachers were like.
Roxas had begun to doze off, thinking about giving Xion a lecture about this, even though he knew that he would never do such a thing, when someone jumped on the couch, knocking Roxas off.
He gasped as he hit the floor and rolled over, coming face to face with an excited Sora.
"We're going to the pool Roxas. You should come too. Get ready." he said cheerily. He jumped over Roxas, landing lightly on the floor in front of him, and ran out of the room.
Roxas blinked and stood up. Looking around, he noticed that no one else was there. Sighing, he headed to find his room and change.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was ten minutes later and Roxas was standing in front of the pool, a large crowed of people surrounding him. It was the last day of summer break and it seemed that all of the students were taking advantage of the pool.
Roxas shuddered at all of the people. They were eveywhere, in the pool, out of the pool, and it was nerve racking. Roxas became overwhelmed by the number of students that were attending.
"Hey, shy one, over here!" someone called. Assuming they were talking to him, Roxas turned and saw his three roommates standing together by the edge of the pool. Reluctantly he headed over to them.
"It certainly took you long enough." Axel commented. "I was beginning to think you hated us." a sad look crossed over his face for a minute before disappearing. Roxas ignored him and looked around in an attempt to find his sister.
Axel put his hand on Roxas' head and ruffled his hair.
"Are you ever going to talk? I mean you haven't said one word."
