Axels POV:

Yo! So my name is Axel! A-X-E-L… Got it memorized. Ha! I say that too much. Anyway…Since your here, you better get ready to listen! I am about to tell you all about myself.

Well, as you know my name is Axel… By now you should have it memorized. I am 17 years old and a sophomore. Yeah, I know, 17-year-old sophomore… lame. But see, I had trouble focusing in freshmen year… but that's a totally different story.

You probably wouldn't be able to pick me out of a crowd. I have bright red hair that is naturally spiky. I am tall and skinny with two upside down black triangle tattoos under each of my eyes.….On second thought… maybe you could pick me out of a crowd. You could probably pick my whole crew out of a crowd. Yes, I said crew.

Don't judge me!..

Anyways, My crew consists of two people, Demyx and Zexion. They have been my best friends since as long as I can remember.

Zexion. How can I describe him? At first glance only one word would come to your mind… emo. But trust me he is not. Once you get to know him he is the greatest guy ever…although he rarely ever smiles. When he does though, it lights up the entire room, I swear. Its like VOOOSH.

And by the way, VOOSH can be an adjective, for your information!

As I was saying; Zexion; He has this slate hair the covers half his face, and he always wears black. Now that I think about it. I guess I can't blame people for thinking he's emo. He loves to talk.. but only if it's an educated conversation, and if you don't greet him he will have a hissy fit. My advice; if you ever walk into a room with Zexion in it, greet him.

Demyx: the best person you will ever meet. He is 16 and a real sophomore. That's probably why I screwed up so bad my first try at freshmen year… didn't have him there to keep me on track. He has a.. Funny style. He has this dirty blonde hair that is in a weird mullet/Mohawk kinda hairdo. One that I am sure only he could pull off. He plays a wicked guitar. Personally, I myself like the piano… I can play a little guitar, but not enough to save my life! Demyx tried to teach me… that's probably why I suck so badly. He is an awesome player… but he is too much of a spazz to teach.

Demyx can make anyone smile. It's hard not to love him. He could take the worst moment and make you smile about it.

We live in an area called Sunset Hill. It's a pretty rich town, but don't be fooled. I am not rich. Every rich town has its poor areas… even though the one here isn't as beat up as most are, it's a cheap living for my mom so… as long as it makes her happier.

I go to a school called Sunset high (original eh?). It's a private school… well used to be private. Again I say I AM NOT RICH! I got a scholarship here for my amazing artistic ability... yeah… that's a lie. Sure I am sorta artsy.. But this school is way to artsy for me. It's not an arts school… but it might as well be. See, my moms EX-boyfriend works here and while they were dating he was able to get me in here free of charge… how he did it, I don't know. He still seems to care about me… seeing as my mom hasn't gotten a bill yet.

Now if you didn't notice before I will say it again… my school used to be private… until… they decided to join up with a public school. Long story... the shortened version is: over in Twilight Town… like a main part of it… was this school. It was called (you guessed it) Twilight High. Recently, some jerks decided it would be fun to burn it down.

GOSH, don't look at me like that, sure I'm a pyro but why in the world would I waste my time taking a train to burn down a school that in the end would just make my school more crowded?

Anyways, the principal of my school was, I guess, pretty close to the principal of that school and decided, "Hey! We have room, let them join us!" so now we have double the teachers, double the students, and double the principal... that's right, 2 principals… great… two extra people to dodge when I'm skipping.

I don't really know how the whole thing worked out… I guess parents don't get billed anymore or something… I don't really know.

Now I am going to come out and say this now. I am gay. Ask anyone and you will know I am not only gay. But I am proud of it! I even have my belly button pierced and wear a rainbow hoop through it!! Yeah. I am flamboyantly gay!

xXxXxX

BANG!

I shot my head out of bed and looked over to my right, damn, there goes another alarm clock, the forth one this school year. Maybe I should consider moving the clock on the other side of my room. That way natural instinct wont kick in, and my clock won't end up smashed against my bedroom door. Doesn't everyone throw their alarm clock across the room in the morning?

.. shuddup, it's perfectly normal.

Today was the day; the twilight town kids are coming to our school, great. I shook my head and felt my usual morning headache come on, I really should get that checked out, maybe I have some type of tumor, and then I might die. At least I wouldn't have to deal with these splitting headaches every other fucking morning.

I dragged my body out of bed and slumped my way to my shower. I felt around the back wall until I found the knob. With a sigh of relief I turned it on. While I let the water heat up I shuffled my way over to my mirror. God, do I always look like crap in the morning?

I slowly stripped off my clothes, the cold air hitting me like pins and needles. I quickly jumped into the shower, but made the mistake of not checking the temperature of the water

AAH! SHIIT!

"MOOOM THE HOT WATERS NOT WORKING AGAIN!!"

Well today's going to suck.

I jumped out of the shower and shook my head, splashing water all over the walls. Goosebumps covered my entire body.. did I mention I hate mornings?

I wrapped a towel around my waist, then one around my shoulders to keep me super warm. I turned off the water and threw on some clothes, quickly brushing through my wet hair with my hands. It was I little limp, but I knew when it dryed it would pop back up, it always does!

I lazily walked into the living room, looking around for my mom. She was no where in sight. I looked down on the coffee table and saw a $10 bill.

"Ooh a whopping ten dollars, thanks Mom." I picked it up and sighed. I guess she left again.. figures.

I don't think I've had a morning with her since last year.

Oh well, mornings with her weren't that exciting anyway, all she did was bitch and moan. I did miss her company sometimes though, I just wish she was here more. I don't even think she really 'knows' me.. not like she should. I'm just her son.. that's it.

My thoughts were broken when I felt my phone vibrate form my pocket.

New message: Demyx:

Get your ass outside

I rolled my eyes and flipped my phone shut. I love Demyx.

I jogged outside and saw Dem and Zex waiting for my right outside my door. I chuckled and flicked Demyx in the nose.

"You know, there is a reason they make doorbells. So you can summon me when you get to the door."

Demyx giggled and wiped his nose where I poked it. He had a thing with that. If you poked his nose, he always had to wipe it off. It was cute.

The sun seemed like it had been out for a little while. Instead of being quiet, like it normally is, the parking lot was filled with people. There were kids yelling and parents laughing. There was so much happiness and it was… weird to see.

I looked over at Zexion and he seemed totally oblivious to the dozens of moving trucks and dozens of new faces. I guess most of the people from the main part of twilight town decided to move. Of course they found the cheapest neighborhood they could... which, of course, is mine.

"Doesn't it strike you as odd?"

I looked over at Demyx. "Doesn't what strike me as odd?"

"Well normally people here in twilight town are known for never leaving, we like to be around what we know. It just strikes me as odd that so many people decided to move."

Zexion shrugged and stuffed his hands in his pocket "Well, who would want to pay for a train to and from Sunset Hill everyday?" Zexion had a point. We dropped the conversation and headed for school. We weren't even 5 feet away from my apartment when a chirpy guy ran up to us. He had brown hair that was almost as spiky as mine, I wondered if his was naturally spiky.

"Hey guys! Can you help me out? I'm Sora and I just moved here, could you tell me where apartments-" he looked down at the sheet of paper he held in his hands, "D are..?"

D.. those ones are.. the ones I live in! I gave him my charming smile and nodded, "Oh yeah, those are the ones I live in. They are right back there." I pointed behind me. " The names Axel. Got it memorized?"

Sora chuckled at the comment. My eyes shifted behind him and I could have sworn I saw an exact replica of him. Wait, no this boy was shorter. He had short blonde hair that spiked in all directions. He must have been related, he had the same blue eyes. And, lets be honest, he was adorable.

Demyx and Zexion introduced themselves and Sora looked back over to me. He must have noticed where I was looking because next thing I knew; the little blonde was being dragged over.

"Roxas! These are my new friends Axel, Demyx, and Zexion!"

Roxas waved at us and gave us a half smile. Demyx and Zexion engaged in conversation with the two, but all I could do was stare at the beautiful boy in front of me. They seemed to walk away too soon because before I knew I was being dragged towards the school.

"Wow!" Zexion said over his shoulder, " I haven't seen you go goo-goo eyed over anyone since-" he stopped walking and thought for a moment, " Wait, I have never seen you go goo-goo eyed over anyone before."

"Eh well." before I knew what I was saying, it all came out, " I think I am in love!"

You know what, don't judge! That boy was beautiful! You would have fallen in love too!

Zexion and Demyx burst out in laughter. "Since when do you believe in 'love at first sight'?"

"Since I laid eyes on that." I said pointing behind me. Yea, I was being cheesy, so what?

Demyx came up behind me a smacked my back. Making me shoot up straight, "Don't go all sappy on me now Axel, remember what we always tell you, take it slow"

I laughed to myself and tagged behind my two best friends.

I didn't care how sappy it was or sounded.

I just experienced love at first sight.

Roxas POV:

Gah! I am so confused. Why are all these people here? Did everyone decide to move to the same place at the same time?

Crap.. I lost Sora.. Oh My God.. What if he got kidnapped? I'm the older twin… well by like 3 minutes.. But still! I should protect him.

Calm down. I am overreacting. He has spiky hair.. Not too hard to find. I turned my head in all directions.. Straining my eyes to see him. Then I felt a hard grip on my arm. Oh My God.. The Kidnappers have come back to get me! I turned my head quickly. I let out a sigh of relief. Good, It was just Sora.

"Roxas! These are my new friends Axel, Demyx, and Zexion!"

Well that's Sora for ya. He makes friends so easily. I just wish I was like that. I've had the same friends since I was in diapers.. Not that I would trade them for anyone. I was never really able to make new ones. I mean.. I meet new people who I can have a conversation with.. But I wouldn't really call them my friends. I looked at the three of them, smiling slightly.

Demyx and Zexion seem pretty friendly. They started talking to us like they have known us for years.. But the other one.. Axel.. Didn't seem to talk.

Wow. I have never seen hair that red before. He could stand out of any crowd. He is probably the tallest guy around here. He had these two triangular black tattoos under his eyes.

For some reason I can't keep my eyes off him. He seems to be having the same problem with me. This..is..weird. We are having like a frickin staring contest, but I can't find it in myself to stop! This is not normal! I felt a familiar grip on my arm and before I knew it I was being dragged away by Sora.

"See Rox! People around here are friendly." He clanged onto my arm so he wouldn't run off again and we both made our way towards our Mom.

"That was only three people. They were probably just talking to us because we were new around here."

"Well, you wouldn't have known. You were to busy checking out Axel."

I scoffed. " Axel? Who is Axel?" Wow. The lamest cover up ever.

Sora threw his head back in laughter. Gosh, be more dramatic. Was it that obvious I was checking him out?

"Riiight.. We'll go with that. Puh- lease, you couldn't keep your eyes off him!"

I shushed Sora and looked up to see my dad walking towards us. Sora mumbled a quick sorry and we both stood up straight. My dad stopped In front of us scratched his chin. It sounded like we was scratching sand paper. His five o'clock shadow was showing, and it was only a little past 7.

My dad cleared his throat and pointed towards the direction most of the other kids were going.

"Don't be late on the first day! Get you asses to school!"

Sora and I let out identical ' yes sirs' and skittered off. When we got out of earshot of my Dad I smacked Sora's arm.

"Be careful of what you say around him!" Sora mumbled another 'sorry' and we began walking at a normal speed. I hope we don't get lost on the way to school. I walked up ahead Sora to take the lead; to make sure Sora didn't get us lost. There were some loud footsteps then I got pushed aside. I fell into Sora and glared up at the guy who pushed me. He jogged up ahead and mumbled a small, "Get out of my way."

Well, the people here are friendly alright..

XXxXxXxXx

As soon as we walked through the huge front doors, we were all escorted into the auditorium. And, wow. It was huge! So much bigger than the one back at Twilight High. Well.. What do you expect? It was a private school.

"Yo, Sora!"

Sora and I turned our heads toward the voice. Only one other person is as chirpy as Sora. That voice belonged to none other than Demyx. I looked around, searching for Hayner, but I couldn't find him. I shrugged and followed Sora. Then I laid my eyes on.. Yeah you guessed it, Axel. Wait a sec… why can't I move? What's going on? Why am I sweating? Am I nervous? Why should I be nervous? He's just some guy.. That happens to be attractive.. Reeeaally attractive… wait.. What I am I thinking… no! I am not supposed to be gay!

Suddenly I heard her voice in my head.

"Roxas, you not gay."

A younger Roxas glared up at the women. He was sitting in a small room with a couch and a desk, the woman was sitting in the desk smiling at Roxas. She had long brown hair and was extremely skinny. She cleared her throat and jotted something down on her notebook.

"Say it with me, I am not gay! You shouldn't be gay!"

Roxas scoffed and shook his head, " I can't believe your making me do this! I am 13 if I decide I like dudes then-"

"You don't though, understand? It's just a phase. Say it with me, I am not gay."

Roxas rolled his eyes and said it with her, " I am not gay.."

She smiled and wrote something in her notebook. She looked back up at Roxas and moved her hair behind her ear.

"Why are you not gay?"

Roxas sighed again and shook his head. This was completely ridiculous! He thought coming out to his dad would be a good idea, hoped that he would accept him. He went crazy.

He threw him in this therapy thing that was complete bogus. How is he supposed to make himself not gay if he is?

"Because gay is bad.." the woman nodded and smiled.

"Good, Roxas."

Well, I found out I was gay in 7th grade. About three months after I found out I decided to tell my parents.. Ya know.. Get it off my chest. Yeah.. That probably wasn't the best choice. See, my mom accepted it. But my dad didn't. He actually beat me for it, I didn't care.. I was used to getting beaten but he usually only did it when he was drunk.. This time he just did it.

It started out with always just beating my mom when he was drunk. But eventually he moved onto me. I wont let him beat Sora. Sora wouldn't be able to handle it. He can't even handle when I get beaten.

Well, anyway.. My mom is scared of him.. To the point where she can't stop what he does. He put me in therapy. After about a month the therapist told me to just ignore the feelings and they will go away. Yeah, like that would work. Well, of course to avoid being disowned by my father, I decided to listen. It's been 3 years now… did the advice work? No..

I'm not even sure if the therapist was a real therapist. Wouldn't be surprised If my dad just paid her double to feed me complete nonsense.

Sora has been telling me to drop the act for years… but who knows how angry my father would get.. He might move onto beating Sora. I wouldn't be able to handle that.

Sora brought me out of my thoughts and dragged me towards the trio. They were standing in between the row of seats and we had to squeeze past them to get to our seats. I tried my hardest not to touch Axel on my way there. I failed. Epically failed!

My hand brushed against his and I spun around to face him.. Thinking.. I don't know.. Maybe I would fit better. My backpack got caught on the back of another seat and I was forced to fall into his chest. Wow. He was muscular. I was frozen on the spot. I lifted my gaze to Axel. He had a wide evil smirk on his face. I felt like smacking the butterflies in my stomach with a giant hammer. Sora must have noticed my dilemma and pulled, quite forcefully, on my arm to free me from my.. Position.

Axel and I haven't exchanged any words yet, but I have still embarrassed myself more than I ever thought I could. I can feel the blush spreading across my face.

Well today's going to suck.

Axel POV:

Well. Hello Roxas. He haven't even talked yet and already he is all over me. Okay, I'm exaggerating.. He kind of fell on me.. But still.

He was pulled off of me by Sora. I looked over at him to find him avoiding my gaze. He sat down next to me. I could see the blush spreading across his face. His big blue eyes found mine and they locked. A small smile crept across his face. I wonder if he's… nah.. What's the chance that a cute guy like him is gay? One in a million.

Suddenly a loud static sound broke Roxas and I from our staring contest.

"Good morning students! I would like to welcome all the newcomers here! We are very happy to have-"

I blocked out my principals welcoming speech with my Ipod. I tapped my fingers on the armrest to the beat. I let my leg rub up against Roxas's. Wait! Axel what are you doing? Remember what Demyx said.. Take it slow. We haven't even spoken a word to each other.

I felt my earbud being pulled out of my ear.. By Roxas. He looked at me as if he was in charge of me.

"Listen! This sounds important" he nodded his head towards the stage.

A large smirk crept across my face. " Yes Mommy!"

Roxas elbowed me and laughed to himself, then focused his attention on the stage. Wait.. Did we just exchange words? Did his elbow just nudge me? I saw Roxas look over at me. I quickly brought my attention to the stage. Wouldn't want him getting mad at me would I?

"Well as you know, we recently had about 350 students attending our school. Compared to our campus, that was not enough. So we willingly took you guys in. The population of your school was about 250 so, we assigned each of you a 'guardian'. Now, former students, when you go back to class, you will be assigned a new student that you are to 'adopt' for one week. We already have all the pairs set up. We have you in the same classes, well, the best we could. I want no switching partners; if you have a problem with your partner then you can come and talk to me. You are now dismissed; please report to your first period class."

Everyone stood up at about the same time, despite all the teachers yelling. They always try to make us leave in an orderly fashion… but we never really do. Sora and Roxas tagged along with us as we made our way to the front lobby. We huddled around each other to look at schedules. Wow.. We all have the same first period class.. cowinky-dink?

Me, Dem, and Zexy made our way to class, with Roxas and Sora following behind like a bunch of lost puppies. We walked into our first period biology class and took our seats around each other. I finally brought up the courage to talk to Roxas.

"Soo.. Do they normally put you and Sora in the same classes?"

Roxas looked up from his desk. He almost looked nervous.

"Uh.. N-no not really. But since we're new they probably did it on purpose."

"Yeah that's pretty –"

I was cut off by a loud girl scream coming from my right. I heard Roxas laugh to himself and looked at him. He was shaking his head. He was soo cute.

"RIIKU!!"

I looked over to the boy standing in front of the class. He had long silver hair and was pretty tall. I saw Sora out of the corner of my eye struggle to get out of his seat. Well, I found the source of the scream. Suddenly Riku was glomped to the ground. Like a Major glomp

I stood out of my chair to see the 'action' on the ground. Roxas seemed used to it; he just sat there a laughed.

Sora was straddling Riku's hips and nuzzling his neck. If my 'gay-dar' wasn't going off before.. It sure is now.

" They're just friends." Wow can he read my mind?

"Mmm-hmm, that's what they all say. Next thing you know they'll be screwing eacho-"

Suddenly I heard a gasp from Roxas. I snapped my head over a little too fast and hurt my neck. My hand shot up to it and I let out a hiss.

"Hayner!" Roxas leapt out of his seat and ran towards the blonde at the door. I watched as Roxas bumped fists with this 'Hayner' fellow and immediately got jealous. At least Roxas didn't react like Sora did to Riku, then I would have had to do something about it!

Heh, listen to me, talking like I own him. Speaking of owning him..

"Hey! Do you think I'll adopt Roxas!"

Dem and Zexy rolled their eyes at me. Now that I think about it, I was acting like a little middle school girl going goo-goo over cute new kid. Man, I gotta shake this. I'm not getting the gay vibe from him at all. But, I'm sure I can change that. Wait what am I thinking? You can't just turn a straight guy gay.. It would be like trying to turn me straight.. Which would never happen. Girls are too whiny.. And they spend too much money.

"Alright class.. You guys ready to be paired off?"

Half the class looked eager.. The other half looked pissed. As the list got closer and closer to my name, I got more and more confident that I would be paired with Roxas. Demyx got Sora.. Yeah they're gonna work great together. They are both that hyper and chirpy type.

Zexion got Riku.. They are probably gonna go well together too. They both seem kinda quiet and pouty.

"Axel… you are paired with…" I twiddled my thumbs nervously. What if I didn't get Roxas? What if I got Hayner? That would be awkward.. The best friend of my new obsession. Yes, Roxas has moved up on my list! He is now my obsession!

"Roxas"

I let out a sigh of relief. I felt Roxas nudge my shoulder. I turned my head toward him and was greeted with the cutest smile ever.

I chuckled and ruffled his hair, " Looks like I own you, blondie!"

Roxas let out a little laugh.

Maybe I was wrong.. Turning a straight guy gay wont be that hard.

--

welp there we go…

Little does he know that Roxas is actually gay!! DA DA DAAAA!

Maybe his 'gay-dar' is broken..

I feel like I an portraying Roxas badly.. he seems to.. nice.. I will have to make him a but more bitchy…

Axel: heh did you hear that? She called you bitchy.

Roxas: I am not bitchy!

Ren: whatever floats your boat…

Roxas:-glaresatRen- WHO LET YOU GO? AXEL?

Axel: I thought she suffered enough..

Roxas: she will never suffer enough! Corner now!

Ren: bitch! -storms off to corner- read and review..

And I'm serious! Please review.. if you don't.. I might.. die

Axel: she is already gonna die… Roxas has this whole plan to kill her before she gets to lemons

Roxas: -pulls out duct tape- mwa ha ha!! -Covers Ren's mouth-
