The Life and Times of Roxas Valentine

Prologue: A Week in the Life

Roxas' hands tapped against his desk in a steady rhythm. A textbook was opened to a page of gray images in front of him with a pencil in between its pages. A tall silver haired man walked around in the front with a book of his own in his hand – reading its pages aloud.

After a few minutes of tapping, the man snapped his book closed and addressed the mass of students in front of him, "So what makes a great auto-biographic film?" Hands shot up around the room – but finally the man pointed to a small girl with brown hair, "Yuna."

"A personal connection," the girl answered.

A smile flashed across his lips for a minute, "Very good, Yuna."

"Thank you, Professor Xemnas."

He looked across the students again, before asking a boy who was slouched down in his seat, "What else, Xigbar?"

"I don't know," Roxas heard his fellow sophomore answer in his 'I'm-hungover-so-leave-me-the-fuck-alone' voice. "Reality or some shit."

Xemnas sighed as he walked to his desk and set the book down, "Xigbar is right. Reality is one of the things that makes this kind of story great." He walked to the black board and wrote in big chalk letters, A Week in the Life Of _.

"Your assignment," he declared drawing a line under the words "is to carry a camera around for a week – film your life. Edit it on Tuesday and Wednesday, turn it in on Friday." A bell rang throughout the classroom and students stood up with their bags. "Pick up a camera from the table by the door. I don't want to see any of you until next Friday." There was a brief cheer before the students began filing out – they might not have Genre-studies for the rest of the week but they still had their other classes.

Roxas smiled as he randomly selected a camera and flipped it open.

This was going to be a fun week
