Chapter 1 Roxas

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"

"Sora, watch the language!"

"Sorry Nami, but look at it. It looks like a freaking baby whose eyes were scooped out of its face with the body of a 3 legged dog."

"It's art Sora, I'm pretty sure it has a meaning to it..."

What is going on you may ask. Well to make the story short, Mr. Ansem put up a new art poster to help inspire us with painting our feelings. It was drawn by one of the students at the school.

We took our seats at our regular table and started talking. We as in me and my best friend Sora.

My name is Namine Caelum. I'm currently 16 years old and a Sophomore attending Destiny High. As much as I want to say I'm the hottest chick here, I can't because it's not true. I'm an average looking girl: shoulder length blonde hair, icy-blue eyes, complexion that makes me look like a ghost, skinny as a twig, you get the point. I'm not exactly the exceptionally talented in anything either, although, I am pretty awesome at art.

Destiny High School was not your average everyday school. It was filled with people who is gifted in subjects, be it sports or academics. Everybody was crazy talented in something, everybody but me. Well, me and Sora.

Sora Hikari was one of my best and only friends. I know, it's sad.

Sora was a Sophomore like me and had spiky, chocolate brown hair that stood up all over the place. His warm, ocean blue eyes were inviting and friendly. He had a tan, something I wish I had. He's always wearing a smile, even if something bad happens. I think it's some kind of disease but who knows. Like me, Sora isn't exactly known in the school. He's cute, but he's not hot. He's talented, but not enough to get noticed.

I guess that's how we became friends. We're kinda in the same boat; both average people trying to survive a not so average high school.

That and our inability to play sports, but that's another story.

Anyways, we met in Art I last year and after that just started hanging out. We were so close I swear we could be related.

"Whoa, what the fuck is that?" asked a suave voice.

I turned my head around to face the voice. It was none other than Roxas, the other person who sat in our table.

Roxas Soto. Now that was not an average person. Roxas is a Junior that was hotter than the fire the erupted in our labs last year that burned down the whole east wing of the school. He was a genius, getting the top grades in the school. He was also the captain of the Football team. Plus, he could play guitar. He was, to say the least, perfect.

Roxas had dirty blonde hair that Sora and I dubbed 'the permanent bed head' hair. I'm not complaining though, he made it look good. His dark blue eyes were like pools of blue that you can swim in. He wasn't as tan as Sora, but here sure wasn't a ghost like me.

Roxas was the target of every girl's affection in the school. As much as it annoys me that so many girls like him, I couldn't complain, after all, I'm one of those girls. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not like one of those freaks who's crush is more like an obsession and stalks him. Nah, I'm more like one of those girls who keep their crush on the DL.

"Oh Roxas, you're so funny," I twirled my hair and leaned forward only to fall.

Well, most of the time.

I quickly got up and sat back down, bowing my head to hide my now scarlet face. Sora was next to me, laughing his ass off. He knew about my crush on Roxas, so to him, me attempting to flirt was like free tv.

Roxas chuckled. Oh God, I thought, please don't think I'm a freak.

"Well anyways, what's up with that poster," he continued on like nothing ever happened.

Thank God.

"It's suppose to be someone's feelings," Sora said, finally ending his fit of laughter's.

"Yeah, apparently somebody feels like a baby whose eyes have been scooped out of its face with a body of a 3 legged dog," I said, remebering what Sora told me earlier.

Roxas laughed at this and my heart began to beat faster.

"That laugh though," Sora whispered into my ear. I elbowed his stomach and he clutched it in pain.

"You're really funny Namine," Roxas smiled.

I felt like passing out right there. I know, I'm crushing hard.

Just as I was about to reply, Roxas got a text. He smiled at his phone and I died a little. I knew who it was.

It was Xion.

His GIRLFRIEND.

Now I know what your thinking, Namine it's wrong to flirt with a man who's already been taken. But I couldn't help myself, I was to deep in.

Sora looked at me with pity in his eyes, but I just smiled at him. He knows how I feel, after all he's going through the same thing.

We got up and started working on our projects. I look over at Roxas and sighed.

What does it take to get you like me?

Here's to High School AUs. Thanks for reading!
