Chapter 1: New Kid
I was sitting by myself at the table closest to the door in the cafeteria. I was minding my own business, listening to my mp3 player and staring into space when I felt the eyes of someone boring holes into the back of my head.
I snapped my head in the opposite direction to see a table full of a dozen or so kids in black cloaks quickly turning away and starting up conversations as if nothing had happened. None of them made eye contact with me.
Except one. He had bright red hair that made his head look like it was on fire. He kept staring at me, I could still feel it as I turned away and buried myself in a book from the stack in front of me.
I had just moved here a month ago, to Granite Heights. It was my third day at Granite High and still no one besides the teachers had said a single word to me. Unless you counted that blonde girl on my first day, I had accidentally bumped into her looking for Room 216 when she rudely told me to "watch where I was going and fuck off."
No one had even seemed to notice that I was the new kid. Not that I minded, I preferred to be alone. No one except those strange guys in black. Especially that redhead.
I peeked over my shoulder to see if he was still looking at me. He was. I pretended to pluck a hair from my jacket, watching him in my peripheral vision.
The guys around him were all rowdy and obnoxious, but that didn't break his concentration. It was starting to creep me out. Why did he seem to be the only person in this school to notice my existance?
The bell rang, and I jumped up from my seat, hoping to escape before the crowd. And the creepy redheaded kid. Something about him didn't seem right, besides his staring contest with the back of my head.
I made it out the door and heard someone shouting "Hey, kid!"
I ignored it and kept walking. Who would be talking to me here anyways?
I made it halfway to my 4th hour English class before someone came running up behind me.
"Hey, kid, you dropped this in the cafeteria." he panted as he placed it on top of my stack of books.
I mumbled my thanks before I bothered to look up to the red-spiked head next to me. Great, this guy.
"You're new here right? Roxas?"
"Umm...yeah, I just moved here." How did he know my name?
"Name's Axel. Got it memorized?" he smirked.
"Yeah, sure. Axel." I slowed to a stop outside of my classroom.
"So," He paused before going on. " Me and my friends..."
"My friends and I," corrected the teacher as she walked into the classroom.
"Yeah, whatever. My friends and I, we've seen you around the past few days and I couldn't help but notice you look a little lonely. You making friends alright?"
"Not exactly," I replied cautiously. Where was he going with this?
Axel's expression flickered for a moment and he went on. "Well, if you'd like you could hang out with us. We've got enough room for one more."
"I don't think I'll quite fit in." I said, staring pointedly at his black jacket.
"Oh, this? Don't worry about it, we can get you one if you'd like." He replied, adjusting his own as he said it.
"Uhh, sure, I don't see why not." This was getting weirder and weirder by the minute. "You sure you guys want-" The minute bell interrupted before I could finish.
"Well, I'll see you later Roxy." Axel ran off in the direction of his class.
"My name is Roxas!" I shouted after him. I disliked that nickname.
My English teacher came to the door, "In or out, Roxas, we're not going to wait all day for you."
"In," I followed her into the room. What on earth had just happened? More importantly, why did I say I would hang out with him and his friends? I had to admit those jackets were kind of cool though.
