Why did he have to go to camp now? Why now? Why with her?

He glanced uneasily at the blonde sitting to his right, her pale skinned arms folded lightly in her lap as she kept her blue eyes forward.

He turned back to the window, his eyes watching as the trees and squirrels sped past, the leaves fluttering from the old withering branches.

The girl pulled her head around to meet his in the reflection on the window. "Roxas…you okay? You seem…quiet."

"…hu…huh?" Roxas pulled himself from his daydream and back to the pale girl sitting next to him. "I'm fine."

He looked over to the seat across from his, a red head occupying the position, her head bobbing at the beat of a CD she was plugged to. Her lavender colored eyes intent on the boy in front of her. Sora Tenshi. The Sky Angel.

He was interrupted yet again by a pale hand in his face. This was getting annoying. "What, Namine?" He barked, glancing angrily at the blonde girl.

"Geesh, Rox…" she scoffed, pulled a tube of gloss from her purse. Who brought a purse to camp? "Just saying…Tidus wants you."

He turned behind him, meeting the glance of the dirty blonde who had cause Namine to pester him. "Tidus?" He asked, placing his chin on the ugly blue plastic of the bus seat.

"Roxas…I was just wondering…there's going to be a dance on the last day of camp and all…" He stuttered with every few parts.

"No. Tidus, I'm not gay." He replied sternly. At least, he didn't think he was. Tidus was just flirty because Hayner broke up with him. "But maybe Dem will go."

They both turned to the blonde boy a few seats away, his mulleted blonde hair falling around his pale ears. "No…he's trying to get a certain somebody to notice him already." Tidus sounded defeated. He nudged his head over in another's direction.

Nothing surprised Roxas. The bus lurched, coming to a complete halt. They couldn't be there already; camp was still at least another hour away.

"Rest room Break." The monitor announced, her bright face looking over the crazed freshman on the bus. She must have noticed the few sophomores that had snuck on, because her grin automatically turned to a frown as they slid past. "You can grab some sodas, ice cream, or anything you guys want in the store. Just be back here in fifteen."

Namine stood, stretching her long arms high above her head, her fingertips dragging along the curve of the ceiling.

"Hey! Roxas! Come on! Sora and Riku are already leaving! Means you too Tidus!" Another blonde a couple seats forward called back to them. Hayner. Tidus frowned, not making eye contact as he pushed Roxas forward.

"Just talk to him about it…" Roxas murmured out of the corner of his mouth as he tilted his head partially to Tidus. "You can still be his friend." Of course, Hayner's fingers were already interlaced with is boyfriend's, making things horribly uncomfortable. They stepped off the bus, the cool air hitting them hard from being on a school bus for the past hour and a half.

"No. Roxas you don't understand." Tidus muttered back, beginning towards the gas station store. "I'm up for a Salty Sea Ice Cream, how bout you guys?"

The group nodded, Riku being his normal cool, collected, boring self, and Sora looking back every five seconds or so to see if Kiari was still looking at him.

Tidus was first in the store, followed by Roxas, Hayner, and Siefer, who had moved to having his arm wrapped around Hayner's waist, then Riku and Sora. The girl at the counter was very chipper looking. Her bright yellow eyes looking brightly over the crowd as she placed her head in her hands. Her black shoulder-length hair was tied partially back with a yellow ribbon, her fingerless gloves curled under her chin. "I'm Yuffie." She smirked, pulling a finger over to her name tag. Which read 'Yuffie S.' on the right of her chest. "How may I help you cuties today?"

"We'll take three Salty-Seas." Hayner looked over uneasily at Siefer. "And maybe one small tub of Cherry Chocolate?"

Siefer nodded, smirking slyly at his boyfriend.

"Okay. That'll be…hmm…lets see…probably should have paid more attention in math…" She began counting on her fingers.

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Twelve Seventy Six."

"Huh?" Yuffie looked blankly over the counter.

"The price. The total comes to Twelve Seventy Six." He muttered, dragging his wallet out of his back pocket.

"Oh…YOU DID THAT IN YOUR HEAD?" She looked stunned.

"How old are you?" Roxas asked, handing her the money and passing out the ice cream to the proper people.

"Twenty." She smiled, pushing the money into the register and closing the slide. "You?"

"Fifteen." Roxas replied. "Nice to meet…" The small bell on the front door rang as someone entered.

Tall, the tight blue jeans holding to the figure, black tennis shoes clung to the feet, scrapes and cuts running up the pants legs as his eyes traveled up to the black tee shirt, the fiery red kanji swirled up the front into a demonic looking dragon. He kept trailing, his eyes looking over the fine toned abdomen, the pale collar bone, the broad shoul…

Girls didn't have shoulders like that. They didn't have bodies like that.

Roxas couldn't believe what he was doing. His eyes reached the face, the deep green eyes of a male stared back. He turned away quickly, maybe blushing slightly. Why was he blushing? He wasn't gay!

"What you looking at, weirdo?" The male asked, tauntingly as he glared from the doorway.

"…" The group just stared as Roxas latched onto Tidus' arm and drugs him out past the male he was so ashamed of. But how could he forget those eyes, that hair, the wild gravity defying red hair.

Roxas was almost wheezing. His chest heaving from the pain.

"Roxas? Man, You okay?" Sora asked, latching hands onto Roxas' shoulders, and looking down to his friend.

"Yeah…" Roxas murmured, turning his gaze to the bus. "Hey! They're going to leave without us!"

The boys rushed back to the bus, ice cream in tow, and made their way down the isle of seats.

"Sit! Sit! Everyone!" One of the monitors shouted, only high as her voice would go.

"Let me take this, Aerith." Another monitor said calmly, placing a hand on the brown haired monitor's shoulder.

Aeris nodded, sitting back down again and opening her novel again.

"QUIET YOU STUPID FRESHMAN!" The second monitor screamed over the noise. Silence.

The second monitor slumped back down as the bus revved up and pulled from the parking lot.

"Roxas…" A series of giggles echoed from the seat next to him. "…What are you blushing for?"

"Na…mine…" Roxas pushed past his clenched teeth. "…Nothing…"

"So? You thought he was cute?" A light tap pounded against the back of Roxas' head.

"Huh? Who? No!" Roxas screamed, closing his eyes, hoping Tidus would disappear.

"You do…" Tidus cackled, smugly grinning behind the seat. "You didn't even say anything to him,"

"I don't…" Roxas muttered. "…really…"

"I never took you for that type." Tidus replied, holding his ice cream to his lips and taking a lick.

"And what type would that be?" Roxas almost screamed, as the entire bus turned to look at wait he was saying.

He slumped back down in his seat. He wanted to disappear. 120 miles to go.

He could almost see the bright green eyes again, the cool pale skin of his angel to be. The fiery red halo of hair. He had to be, what, twenty? Twenty-one? He didn't need some high school student to be crushing on him.

Roxas leaned painfully against the window, sandwiching his face and the glass, giving cars an interesting view of his cheek. He closed his eyes tight, watching as the flames began to dance in his head.

He could hear the calm collected music in the background, and he was being held by him. The cool touch of his cold fingers grazed over his lips. Tracing their outline.

Roxas opened his eyes again, pushing the thought from his head. "I'm seriously crushing…" He muttered under his breath.

He looked around the bus, noticing Demyx was in fact lip locked with another guy, much to Tidus' flirty disappointment. Siefer was leaning on the window as Hayner's head lay still on his chest, and gracefully stroked his cheek. Sora was playing a new video game, most likely FFVII, or something like that. Riku was sleeping, his peaceful face coupled with that of another girl, her cool light silvery blue hair falling lightly on his shoulder as her heated gaze drifted to his face. Kiari was still bobbing to the CD, most likely not even noticing that we had just gotten off the highway. Namine was reading, a light romance novel propped open by her fingers as he eyes scanned the page.

Everything was getting quiet.

The bus hit the gravel drive of the camp like a skillet to butter, a sharp leap of the seats and the students inside turned into a frenzy of chaos. The trees passed quickly, followed by an open glade with a long shimmering pool in the middle and the lake laying off to the right. It looked perfect. The three buses in procession swung around in the large bus loop, opening the doors and spilling the adolescents out to the camp world. This must have been the middle of camp, for a large pole was fashioned into the center, arrows directed the way to various activities and cabins. Cabins 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 were towards the southern end, while cabins 8, 9, 6, and 10 were more to the east. Archery and swimming to the northwest, paddle boats, canoes, and fishing to the north, and the dock to the west. This was going to be fun.

Riku yawned as he sprawled out onto the seat. Sora nudged his head with his foot. "Come on, Riku, we'd better get going. Our bags are all out in a pile…"

Sora drug his half conscious friend from the seat, wobbling towards the door, followed by Demyx, who surprisingly found a way to walk and kiss at the same time.

Tidus was still scowling, making angry faces towards Hayner and Siefer. While Kiari was still unaware that we stopped. Stupid.

True enough, the pile of duffels was growing every second, Aerith and a few different monitors were pulling them from the last bus which had kept all their personal belongings.

"Attention! Excuse me, Kids! Teens! Whatevers!" A new voice echoed over the crowd, causing everyone to look over at the new man. His hair was grey, long almost half-way down his back and he was wearing an odd blue polo, imprinted with a swirl of black paint. His eyes were a pure golden tinge, giving his face a rather sinister look now that you mentioned it. "I'm Xemnas." A group of laughter echoed from the statement of his name. "Yes…Yes…we all know my name is weird, now Please!" He looked over the crowd once more and sent for a group to come forward. "I'm the Camp Director. These are the Councilors," He turned to show us a group of six or seven men and women. The first of which, was a blonde male, his blue eyes looking longingly to a brown haired male on the end of the group, a scar running out over his nose and partially his cheek. "Cloud," The blonde raised his hand, more or less shrugging. The next, a girl with long black hair, red eyes and an awfully tight white tank top. "Tifa," She smiled. "Leon." The guy with the scar. "Marly." I could tell it wasn't his real name from how the group cackled in return. He had wild pink hair that swept lightly on his shoulders, making him look, well, feminine. "Larxene." A evil looking girl with two wisps of blonde bangs drifting from her hair. "Rinoa." A cute girl, with mid-length brown hair turned and smiled at the group. "and last but not least…" A car was speeding steadily towards the camp ground, piling clouds of dust in its tracts as it stopped abruptly and three males climbed out, all three both clearly dazed from the car ride. "Luxlord, Saix, and…" A red head climbed out at the last moment, emerging into the crowd of students.

Roxas' mouth dropped. It was him. "…Axel." Xemnas finished. "Now, please listen for cabin assi…"

Roxas couldn't pay attention, it was dragged in full to the gorgeous red-head in front of him. Axel, so that was his name.

"Roxas?" A hand waved in front of his face. "Roxas?"

Tidus. He held the hand firmly by the wrist. "Huh…I was staring again, wasn't I?" Roxas sighed.

Tidus laughed. "You got it bad, man."

"I do not!" Roxas screamed, holding a hand over Tidus' mouth.

"…Roxas Tenshi. Sora Tenshi. Riku Ariswa. Tidus Leos. Wakka Toloy. Hayner Yushiah. Siefer Kurro. Cabin 4. Cabin Councilor: Axel Suikari."

Roxas almost choked.
