Had the cutest idea while listening to Teenage Dirt bag and this is the result. Let me know whether you think I should continue it or not :) I should probably stop starting new stories and finish 'The Morning After' sorry guys :P

Teenage Dirt Bag
Chapter 1
Roxas P.O.V
The double doors at the end of the hallway opened onto the mass of students as the most beautiful of them all walked into the school. Even amongst the hundreds of other students pooling around him he still stood out. It could have been because his hair was the colour of the reddest rose or the ripest strawberry but also because whenever I watched him, time seemed to go into slow motion, just like in a movie. That's the way it had always been, ever since I first saw him back at the start of middle school.
The first time I saw Axel.
Hell, I don't even know his last name, not many people do. That's why he's so attractive to me, the mystery behind him. It's like one of those romance novels; two strangers meet on a train or something and spend an amazing night together but never see each other again because before leaving all he whispered into his ear was "Axel".
God, I'm such a sap. I think Olette's rubbing off on me dammit.
And by the time I had managed to think all of this Axel had completely walked past me (even in slow motion) and Riku had walked up to me.
"Careful Roxas, if you stare too much people might think you like him or something." He winked at me before rushing off to catch up with Axel and slide his hand into the redhead's. He looked over his shoulder at me to give me the thumbs up with his spare hand behind his back.
"Stupid jerk" I muttered under my breath as I threw whatever books I was holding into my locker and attempted to slam it shut but it bounced back open much to the amusement of everyone else. There were giggles and whistles as I walked off to the lunch room.
I entered the lunch room headed over to my usual table all the way at the back of the cafeteria where my friends were already eating their lunch.
"God, Setzer is such a jerk!" I heard Olette from half way across the room as she slammed her tray down and slid onto the seat.
"Wasn't he the love of your life yesterday?" Pence deadpanned. He had already finished his food and was sitting on the bench resting his head on his hand looking miserable. Pence has had a thing for Olette longer than I've had a thing for Axel and everyone knew this, everyone but Olette.
"Not anymore he's not. I don't even understand why I'm still with him!" Olette was still fuming and hadn't touched her lunch yet.
"What did he do this time?" I chirped in as I slid onto the bench next to Hayner.
"I caught him with Tifa behind the school. Tifa! Of all the people it could have been it had to be her." Tifa and Setzer used to have a thing but broke it off due to… well ok, no one ever actually found out why.
"Why don't you break up with him then?" Hayner said sounding rather bored. Ahh, the ever tactful Hayner. Hayner is just as fed up with it as Pence and feels especially sorry for him when situations like this roll around (and situations like this always roll around) so he does what he can to cheer him up. The thought of the two mismatched love birds splitting was always a great thought for Pence.
Olette had lost her fire at the thought of that, crossing her arms in front of her she buried her head in them not wanting to answer. She had given up answering Hayner's repeat question after about the 10th time. From memory, this was the 32nd time. All we heard from Olette was muffled sounds you couldn't decipher without supersonic hearing and that was the end of the conversation. Silence engulfed the table so I spent the rest of my lunch doing my favourite past time. Discreetly, or what I think is discreetly, eyeing Axel no last name.
Axel P.O.V
I was brought back into reality by a pea hitting me square between the eyes. I shook myself out of my daze and looked at the perpetrator. Riku sat across the table from me looking bored as hell.
"Hey nimrod, I'm talking to you." I glared half-heartedly at the silver haired boy. I had given up long ago trying to get him to stop calling me names and overall treating me like shit but the fact of the matter is I'm nothing more than a trophy wife to him, something pretty to hang off his arm. Why don't I leave him? Being with him is routine now, it's not comfortable but I'm used to it. But at least he wants me, even if it is in a superficial way. I fear that if I were to leave him, or even the other way around, no one would want me. Not in a superficial, romantic or even as friends way.
Pathetic I know.
But instead of just pissing him off more by ignoring him I decide to answer him. "Yeah, what?"
"Loser, weirdo kid over there is looking at you again." He nodded his head over towards the table at the back of the room.
"Who?" I didn't need to ask that, I knew exactly who he was.
His name was Roxas, but that was pretty much the extent of my knowledge of him, except for the fact that he was in the year below me and hung out at the 'loser' table. Stupid High school and its bullshit Hierarchy. But just because I didn't know much about him didn't mean I didn't take notice.
He was somewhat of a rebel. Attaching chains to his school pants and wearing his school shirt open so that his band shirt (which on closer inspection had 'XIII Steps' written in grey above a guy with a mullet, a guy with an eye patch and another guy with crazy mutton chops) would show through. His tendency to not care about what others thought makes me admire him so much, if only I could think like that then maybe I'd have the courage to break up with Riku. Then me and Roxas would start going out and go to the same college, live in the same dorm and live happily ever after.
Yeah right.
"That Roxas, or whatever his name is." Riku looked back down to the supposed 'food' that the cafeteria was serving today. Coleslaw, yum. He turned his nose up in disgust at it and pushed it towards me in attempts of getting it away from himself. "I swear to God, if that little freaks looks over here one more time I'll make sure he won't be able to see at all." He picked up his forked and jabbed it at the air in a joking manner. It was supposed to make me laugh but all I could manage was a chuckle.
The thought of Riku hurting Roxas didn't please me at all.
"Come on, class is starting soon." The hand that was playing with what was supposedly lunch was abruptly pulled away as Riku grabbed it. He had already gotten up off the seat and was pulling me towards our next class.
Unfortunately I had all but one class with him, but that's because he refused to take gym. It's the only class where I receive solace. Take that away and you take away my sanity. And with him constantly by my side there's no way anyone would talk to me, they're all too afraid of him.
We were almost out the doors but before we left the lunchroom I turned around once more to see Roxas and his friends laughing about something.
Must be nice to have friends.
Not real long I know, I'm sorry. I kinda want to wait until I get some good feedback before I continue but if I have another flash of brilliance I may just continue anyway because I had a lot of fun writing from Roxas's perspective :)
This is the first time I've written in first person so it may not be all that good. It may be brilliant. I don't know. That's why you should tell me ;)
