Chapter 1: Roxas-The Stalker
"You guys, what am I supposed to do?" I asked my other friends. Really, I had absolutely no idea what I was there for, or if I had a solution. NO, I'm NOT an idiot and no I don't need a therapist.
"About what man?" Hayner turned to me, his best friend. Yes, Hayner and I had known each other for a long time now, we had been best friends since as long as I could remember. But now, even, my best friend, in the whole world, couldn't help me with this…this…AUGH!
"Namin'e." I let my hand rest under my chin. She was still there and still mocking me from far away.
"What about her?" Sora looked up from his lunch. As if he didn't already know. It was actually kind of obvious, I mean, how couldn't it be? I had liked the girl ever since eighth grade, and we were sophomores now. It was like…a life-long love…in high-school time at least. Of course, my friends were all on my case about it, she didn't notice me too much and they encouraged or really, tried to force me to move on. But I just couldn't, I was hooked.
"OMG, you're still stalking her?" Pence asked in disbelief. I nodded sadly. I really wouldn't use the word "stalker" but hey, that was Pence's deal with me, along with everyone else's. So I just decided to go along with it.
"Dude, give it up, you've liked her for like two and a half years now and you've never even really talked to her." Riku informed the love sick boy, me. I sighed and looked at her afar from the other table outside. The other boys turned their glances towards the table that the girls were sitting at, they spotted Namin'e seated next to Kairi, facing away from them.
"Are you even friends with her?" Wakka arched a brow. I nodded, but I still felt discouraged. I closed his eyes and started to think about her. Her silky golden, blonde hair, her captivating eyes like pools of the sky, her skin, soft and bright like milk and honey. Her soft shiny, pink lips and her smile that could make anyone fall over in happiness and bliss.
She seemed perfect, like a goddess, I wondered if she even had hidden wings. She was always so nice and sweet, smart too. I've also snooped and found-Ah, I mean—HEARD! That she was an excellent artist as well. AND, yes there's more, she was one of the prettiest girls in school, the depressing thing was, that they all hung out together, IN PACKS! Which consisted of the girls: Namin'e, Kairi, Olette, Selphie, along with some other girls…I don't really know. So…to approach them was considered suicide. But…
"H-hey! Roxas!" I heard Tidus's voice call out to me. But still, I kept his eyes closed, daydreaming about my princess. Wow…I really do sound like a stalker.
"Roxas." I heard someone. Their voice was light and angelic, definitely not Tidus, but I didn't answer. "Roxas?" I heard again.
"What?" I said a little harshly under my breath. Who dare interrupt me when I'm thinking about Namin'e? This was precious time!
"Roxas?"
"What?!" I almost yelled, opening my eyes and leaning forward. My eyes met a pair of sky-blue shorts and legs. I turned his view upward to see Namin'e with her hands behind her back in a white tank-top, smiling at me. "N-N-Namin'e!" He shouted. Namin'e, the angel from heaven had descended down upon to…wherever I was…?
"Hey!" Was her reply. She smiled sweetly at me and her cheeks perched up, a light pink color. She was like a child in a way, it was adorable. But of course…I didn't think that…much…
"Um…uh…what…what are you doing here?" I asked uneasily. Really, what WAS she doing over here? It's not like she would notice someone like me.
"I was just on my way to go sign up for the school play, and I thought you should try too." She suggested. Me? She thought I should try out for the school play with her? I had never acted before, and as far as I knew, in my supreme knowledge about her, she hadn't either. This was a once in a life time chance sort of opportunity, but I still looked to my friends for guidance.
"Uh…" I turned back to them, who nodded in agreement. I instantly whipped back around to face her. "Sure!" I almost exclaimed excitedly as I stood up, and together, yes, "together" we walked off down into the halls.
-
"So, what play are we doing this year?" I asked, walking next to her, but keeping my distance. Of course, I wanted to be close to her, but not too close. She might need her space, or it would seem weird, or maybe she didn't want me next to her, or maybe she did or else she wouldn't have asked me and—you know, I just dropped the thought, or I might've gotten sidetracked…Or more sidetracked than I already was.
"Romeo and Juliet." She answered. My muscles tensed up. Romeo and Juliet? That was a romantic kind of play…I think. The one where the families…yeah that's it. I felt a blush creep onto my face and tried to hide it. I couldn't let her see me blushing. I was a man! …sure…
"Oh. And are you trying out for Juliet?" I questioned, trying to sound casual. I guess it worked because Namin'e nodded as if it were nothing.
"Yep. I've always wanted to be Juliet, so I'm glad they're doing the play at our school." She said happily. Always? And how come I didn't know about this? AUGH! BLEH! I'm starting to sound like a stalker again…ew…she might hate me then, but whatever. I brushed it off.
"Oh…" I nodded, as if I understood. As if…
"You should try out for Romeo!" She suggested, blushing a bit. Me? Romeo? To her Juliet? That would be the perfect role! I think I would die and go to heaven if I got that part and if she got Juliet! But then…I'd have to be brought back to life or else I wouldn't be able to play the part. So forget that…
"What? I should?" I asked, pointing to myself. I didn't want to let on that I was absolutely ecstatic. Proof that I'm a stalker much?
"Sure! I bet you'd be great." She nodded with a faint smile on her face. "It'd be really cool if we both got the parts…" She trailed off softly, her face turning a darker shade of red. What was that? Was…was she blushing? She wanted me to get the part? Well, she had suggested it and all, but she seemed longing about it.
"You think so?" I blushed a bit, still not wanting to let on.
"Of course." She shrugged and looked away a bit. Maybe she was trying to conceal a blush, she was much better at it than I was. I mean, I sucked. But maybe she really did want me to do it, one reason or another.
"Ok then." I reached to grab a sign up sheet, but being so nervous, it made me clumsy and it slipped out of my hand. Papers flew everywhere. "O-oh! Sorry!" I apologized to no one in particular and quickly bent down to try and pick some of the them up. Namin'e did the same. As we were gathering papers…we gathered paper.
Namin'e stood up, but as she did, slipped on one of the papers that was on the ground, causing her, to fall.
"AH!" She fell forward into me, who had just happened to be in her way, who also caught her by her waist with his arm. Oh yeah, I was pro at bein' smooth. It was like a full time job.
"Woah!" I shouted as she fell as well as caught her. The two of us were both wrapped in shock by the sudden jolt in energy. Namin'e face flushed red as did mine. Now this defiantly had to be awkward. I mean, how could it not be? If there was anyone walking by, it would've been unbearable.
"Uhm…um…" Namin'e started to panic as she brought her hands up to her chest, her eyes darting every which way. What had just happened? I wasn't really sure, but she didn't push my away or screech or anything like that. I first, I was scared that I might've done that, total pansy. But I didn't and I think, at least, that I was really cool. Like that time I brought in my pet rock for show and tell. That's how cool it was it was like…magic. I started to think with a mixture of confusion and panic. Namin'e wasn't really moving, and I guessed she wouldn't be anytime soon.
I positioned her straight upward so she was standing fully and by herself. She still looked shocked, but when her feet hit the ground, she snapped back into reality and looked around.
"Eh?" she sounded just as confused as I was. I held out the sign up sheet to her and she stared at it for a few seconds. She looked up at me and I nodded. She kind of…snatched it from me and loomed over the desk next to her and signed her name with a pen she had grabbed. Blue to be exact…oh no! Wait! Ah! I walked over next to her and she shielded the paper with her arms. I guessed she was done when she slammed the pen down against the wood of the desk and sharply turned away from me. She had her arms folded and her hip was out a bit, doing that thing that girls always did to balance themselves when they were standing.
I took the pen and it was still warm from her hand being so tightly wrapped around it. I signed my name as best as I could under hers. She had great pen-men-ship might I add. My signature was sort of scrappy and scratched compared to hers which was long and flowed, just like her. It fit her very well. When I was done signing, I stood up fully and saw her eyebrows jerk down and her head whip away from me. She had been looking at me while I signed? I know I blushed, because I felt my cheeks grow hot, thinking about how she was…admiring me?
That didn't really seem to fit.
"so uh…I guess…" I started to speak but I truthfully didn't know what to say.
"I'll see you later! A-at the audition! Right? You'll be there right? I mean, of course you'll be there, you signed up so you should be there or why sign up right?" she started to talk faster, with no pace to her words. She was obviously nervous, but she saved me the trouble of having to do that. I mean, it was bound to happen. I arched a brow at her and she clenched her mouth shut with her arms behind her back.
"Um…yeah. I'll be there. And…um…since I'll be there…and…you'll be there and…we'll be there…together. Like, at the same time! In the same room. So…it'll be like a party, us…together." I was going to come out suave and ask her out after the auditions or our first practice if we got the part. But all that came out were words we already knew the meaning to. I guess I was more nervous than I thought. But I WAS smart to shut up when I realized that I was babbling, the same that she did.
"Okay! So, I guess I'll see you there." She tried to finish off. I didn't want her to go, but everything was starting to get weird and I felt tense and awkward at the same time. That was a really annoying feeling.
"Yeah…together." I repeated myself and mentally kicked myself for it too. I really did sound like a freak! But outwardly, I stayed calm and she gave me a weird look. I don't think it was directed to me, but at our conversation in general.
"Okay! Bye!" She waved, turned, and ran off all in a slip second and I wish she would've stayed just so I could talk to her longer.
I felt like a total dork, but I guess she felt the same, going on like that. I didn't think she was being a dork, but I think she thought I thought that she was acting like one and…I'm gonna stop before I confuse myself again. But anyways, maybe she just wanted to get away from the uncomfortable aura around everything. I hoped that it would clear up the next time we saw each other.
I walked back out of the halls and to the tables my friends were sitting at outside. I tried not to look like an idiot, but I sure did feel like one. I turned and saw that Namin'e was already back at the table with her friends. I wanted to think she wasn't making fun of me, but I guess I couldn't be sure. But Namin'e wasn't like that, I was sure that she wouldn't. Yet another nice thing about her. I plopped down on the bench across from everyone else and next to Hayner. They all leaned in and across the table a bit.
"What?" I said kind of harshly and looked up with a glare on my face. As if I didn't know what they were going to ask.
"So?" Sora asked.
"How did it go?" Wakka finished.
I felt a little angered by the question, because I really didn't want to talk about it. But, it wasn't their fault or anything like that so… "How did what go?" I asked darkly.
"It?! It man!" Hayner hit me lightly on my back. I leaned forward a bit from the impact.
"Nothing happened." I half lied. Nothing really did happen, besides the falling and catching and blushing part, but I didn't really count that. I mean, maybe it's not nothing, but it's not really…something because it didn't happen on purpose. So, what was I supposed to say? I might never live it down if I told them. Tidus might be the only one to spare me because he was going out with Selphie, yeah, one of the girls on the horde of beauties, but I could only think about Namin'e.
But really! It's not like they could talk or anything like that! Well, most of them at least. Tidus was already with Selphie so he's out. Sora, he has the BIGGEST crush on Kairi. It makes him seem like a little kid since he gets so embarrassed around her and 'tries' to act "cool." But that usually ends up backfiring, but apparently, everyone around here thinks it's "cute" or "adorable" or something like that. But hey! I don't get that kind of recognition when I do stupid things for Namin'e! But whatever! I guess I'm just not important enough!
Hayner, oh boy. He's got it bad for Olette and it's really kind of pathetic because he won't admit it. He always gets so cold and mean whenever we bring her up. I think he talks to her a lot, and their friends, but it's so funny when he doesn't know what to say. I mean, being his best friend and all, ya gotta laugh when their words get jumbled over. And being his best friend, added, I get that privilege. Also, he'd probably beat someone else up if they did that…which is weird because there have been times…when he tried to beat me up about that, even though I am a VIP, so forget that.
Um…Riku, Wakka, and Pence…I don't really know. Riku, he says he's a "ladies' man" so he doesn't' have time for just one particular girl. Sure, like we'd all believe that. I've never seen him with another girl besides his mom. Wakka…um…apparently, Wakka is around girls a lot because they like his accent, and how cool is it? To me? Not very I guess because he's my friend. It's no big deal to me because I hear it all the time. But apparently, all the girls adore it, but I've never really seen him go out. Pence…never seen him with anyone but his camera. But…I'd rather not get into detail about that.
