Unexpected Love

Chapter 1

I stared intensely at the clock hanging on the wall at the far side of the classroom willing it to tick faster, to move faster, so I could get out of this 'prison'. It was last period of the day and I am stuck sitting in World History class, the most boring class ever, trying to keep myself from falling asleep. When a teacher lectures about something no one cares about they are practically asking you to fall asleep in class. The only way I was ever to stay awake in this class was to find something remotely interesting and just stare at it. The clock was the best I could do. My eyes shut halfway as I tiredly stared at the slow moving hands of the clock. I closed my eyes for a couple seconds and heard a 'thunk'. I thought it had been me, figuring I had fallen asleep in the few seconds my eyes were shut, so I opened one eye and looked around hesitantly. I looked over at my cousin, Sora, who had his head resting on the desk. Phew, it hadn't been me. I instantly looked at the teacher, to see if she noticed the sound. She was staring at me, but also at Sora, telling me that, of course, she had. I always seemed to get blamed for things I didn't do.

Our teacher, Mrs. Harada, stared at us crossly until Sora finally picked up his head to stare back. We had what felt like a staring contest until she lost by blinking.

"Roxas, Sora." She said sternly, narrowing her eyes at us. I gulped and Sora looked at her dazed. He had never been one to cause trouble, but he couldn't help it when it came to Mrs. Harada's World History class. By now all of our classmates were staring at us, just wondering what was going to happen next.

"Yes, Mrs. Harada?" We replied simultaneously.

"I am extremely sorry if you don't find this class particularly interesting, but please do try to stay awake. And I have some advice for you: try getting more sleep at night before you come into my class the next day; maybe then you'll be able to concentrate on the History of the world you live in." She told us unhappily. Sora said nothing, not wanting to cause more trouble then he already had, and nodded his head slowly. I followed his lead and gave her a quick nod too. She gave us another cross look before returning to her discussion. I sighed and went back to staring at the clock while Sora tiredly rested his chin on the desk in front of him.

15 minutes later, at 2:30, the bell rang signaling to us it was time to leave. Sora stood up quickly, gathered his things, and ran out the door, leaving me behind. I shoved as many books as I could into my backpack and then carried what I couldn't fit in my arms. Everyone by now was gone except of course Mrs. Harada who was giving me a wicked look as I came towards the front of the room. Passing by her desk I picked up my pace and practically sprinted out the door. I slowed down once I got a few feet away from her classroom and began walking down the hall lazily to my locker.

As I was doing so I began to space off, thinking about the events of the day. Being the oblivious person I am I obviously was not paying any attention to where I was going and ended up evidently slamming right into someone's body. I fell backwards on to my butt and my books spewed everywhere. I frowned, got to my knees and started picking up my books. Angrily I shoved them into my backpack, even though it was pretty much full. Wondering if this person who I had bumped into was going to help me or just watch me I picked up another book. To my surprise, my road block knelt down and grabbed a book that was lying next to him.

"Sorry 'bout that. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was walking." A male voice spoke up, sounding sincerely sorry. He extended his arm with the book to me. I looked up quickly to see a guy, upperclassman I think, junior or senior if I had to guess, with long, spiky, red hair, bright green eyes, and identical teardrop-like tattoos under each eye, give me a small grin. I looked back down immediately at my backpack and grabbed the book from him as I grunted. He picked up another book and held it out for me to take. I did, grunting again, hoping he'd get the message to just leave me alone. I didn't really want his help anymore. To my dismay he completely ignored me and started picking up some pencils that had fallen out of my backpack.

"Look," I began and looked up to tell him that his services weren't needed anymore to surprisingly find two bright green eyes staring back at me, waiting for me to continue. Before I had only taken a quick glance at him, but now as our eyes locked on each other I could not tear myself away. His eyes were…gorgeous. They were captivating and mine were seemingly glue to his so even if I tried to look away I don't think I could. I looked around at the rest of his face without removing my eyes from his. His face was also pretty gorgeous…wait what the hell am I saying?? That's something someone who's had a longtime crush on the guy would say. And a crush on him is something I don't have. Besides, I'm not gay. At least I don't think I am, but I am pretty sure I'm not. I think about things before I let my mind blurt stuff like that. But as I stared into this upperclassman's eyes I feel a warm and tingly sensation running through my whole body. I gave a little shiver. My awkward thoughts clouded my brain and it somehow affected my vision so I didn't see him raise an eyebrow. He finally spoke up.

"Uh, are you okay…uh," He paused and looked down at one of my pencils, which immediately broke our staring contest, to read the name on it. "Uh...Roxas?" I shook my head and looked at him confused.

"Huh?" Brilliant answer Roxas, simply brilliant.

"Your face. It's all red. I was wondering if you were okay." The red haired upperclassman asked. I brought a hand up to my cheek and felt it penetrating heat. Crap. Why am I blushing?! Not good! Not good! It couldn't be possible that I do have a crush on this guy I just met, could it? If I do then it's definitely not good. I am pretty sure he doesn't feel anything for me, especially since we just met...What is wrong with me?! I tried to ignore my heated face and began once more to pick up the last few things on the ground. He handed me the pencils that he was holding. I took them hurriedly and clumsily put them in my backpack. The upperclassman stood up and held out a hand to help me up as well. I ignored the hand and stood up myself. I slung my backpack over my shoulders and brushed myself off. The red-haired male dropped his hand to his side. I looked up at him ready to say 'thank you' to see a little smirk stretched across his angular face.

"What?!" I asked annoyed, not sure what exactly I did to deserve that look. He gave a small laugh.

"I've never seen a freshman go from being so flustered to so annoyed as quickly as you just did." He sounded amused by this. I gave him a tiny glare. Then I thought I heard him mumble "cute" under his breath taking me aback by this. He grinned at me. "Well I'll be seeing you. Oh and try not to bump into any other upperclassmen, okay?" And with that he turned on his heel and walked down the hall. I stood there, speechless, not entirely sure what he meant by that statement, but it caused a blush to creep up on my face again.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and it made me jump.

"Roxas, man, calm down. It's only me." My cousin Sora said. I took a deep breath.

"Geez, are you okay Roxas?" Kairi, Sora's girlfriend, asked. Riku stood next to Sora with a raised eyebrow. "You're all red." I shook my head and took a glance behind me to see the red-haired student leaning against a locker with some of his friends.

"Roxas? What's wrong with you?" Sora asked curiously. I turned my head back around to face them and put a grin on my face.

"Nothing. I am perfectly fine." I replied. The three of them didn't look like they believed me, but I knew they dropped it for the moment when Riku said, "Alright, let's just go." When everyone nodded and began walking out of the school I knew I was in the clear. They most likely wouldn't be questioning me about my actions again today.

I started thinking about the upperclassman's brilliant green eyes looking expectantly at me as we walked home. I smiled pleasantly. I still didn't know if I had a crush on him or not…But the way he said my name just made me grin. "Roxas…Roxas…Roxas…Roxas? ROXAS!" I shook my head again coming out of my thoughts to see Sora, Kairi, and Riku looking at me weirdly, again.

"Roxas? Are you positive you're okay? You were spacing off this whole time." Kairi said. I nodded.

"Yeah I'm perfectly fine. I'm great actually." I replied cheerfully.

"Okay…" Sora said, unsure still. We arrived at my house a few seconds later and I waved goodbye to my cousin and co. and I walked into my house. I immediately got started on my homework, but soon again I was thinking about the upperclassman. As I did so something suddenly struck me. I didn't even know his name. So now I can't even address him when I see him in the halls.

I slammed my head wearily against the table as I cursed at my horrible misfortune.
