Faith
As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
-Emmanuel Teney
Chapter I: Another Year, Another Summer
"And the answer is, Mr. Strife?" "mmmmph" Roxas grumbled quietly coming out of his history class nap. "Of course you're asleep with no regard for your grades and the wasting of time of the people around you. Do you want to fail this class Mr. Strife?" Xemnas, Roxas' history teacher said, voice filled with loathing he continued, "You, Roxas, The best student in this class, Mr. Strife, yet you feel as though you can nap through all of it like some unintelligent, low scoring…" Xemnas continued on ranting of Roxas' habits but he was already being blocked out in Roxas' head. Is he STILL talking? I mean seriously, I thought getting straight A's in his class would shut him up but, apparently not, Roxas thought to himself, Whatever, Can't wait for school to be over today. "Mr. Strife! Are you even listening to me?" Xemnas practically yelled in his face. "Yes Sir, I am, and in all honesty I get all A's in your classes I would expect you to be yelling at someone like Axel in the back corner who's texting right now." Axel's face turned as red as his hair as he quickly shoves his phone in his jacket. "That is beside the point just because you're a straight A student doesn't mean you're above the rules, Roxas." The bell rang loudly and Roxas got up immediately and slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Mr. Strife next time it's a detention."
Roxas walked into the school bathroom and yawned. Fixing his blonde spikes in the mirror he smiled to himself, imagining the possibilities for tonight, the Friday he and his friends had been waiting for all winter, the last day of school before spring break. "What the hell was that, back there, Roxas!" Axel shouted entering the bathroom. "Dude, it's the last day of school, relax already." Roxas said, smirking. Axel's face reflected the fiery red of his hair and sighed, "C'mon Roxas, I don't want to be stuck in Summer School with Xenny the buzz kill, I can hardly stand him as is!" "Whatever, where's the rest of the group?" Roxas said already pushing away Axel to get to the door. As he reached for the handle it was kicked in and the face of pure joy stood in the doorway. Sora smiled flipping his Brown spikes up in the air with his hand, his sky blue eyes shining even with the dim fluorescent lighting of the bathroom. "Why are you two not in my car yet?" Sora said, "We're heading to the beach A.S.A.P. I'm not missing it this summer like we did last year!" "Hold your horses; you're forgetting about Nams and Kai!" Roxas said slightly blushing at his sudden proximity to Sora. "They're already at my car; they're not spending their summer in this dank bathroom like you two lovebirds!" Roxas' blush deepened at Sora's little jab. "Whatever," Axel said, "Let's just hurry up, and get the fuck out of here!" He sprinted out the door knocking Roxas and Sora both aside. Sora and Roxas looked at each other and grinned. They both took after Axel.
"Ugh I hate how sandy the beach leaves you, Roxas; I can blame this one on you!" Kairi shouted pointing at Roxas. He grinned, "You blame the Beach being sandy….on me?" "Yup!" she called cheerfully and laughed. Roxas grinned and Hopped in the back of Sora's Jeep. "About time you two," Sora called from the driver's seat, "Me and Axel were thinking we were gonna' Have to organize a search party for you gals!" Roxas shrugged of the comment, "Just drive, Sora." Axel said nudging him in the side. "Speaking of gals, where are Demyx and Zexi," Roxas asked,"I thought they were coming today?" "Nope, Zexion ha-" Namine interrupted Sora quickly, "DEMYX ASKED ZEXI OUT!" Roxas laughed, it was just like Namine to interrupt for just such a moment. "So where'd they go Nami?" Roxas asked politely, knowing she was going to tell them all about it later on, "Oh it's so romantic..." She swooned, "Demyx took him over on his dad's boat and-"Axel interrupted her, "Namine shhhhhhh, we don't need to know, you can tell your boy toy Roxas all about it later, m'kay? Thanks" Namine sniffed sadly and Roxas smiled to cheer her up. The poor thing, Roxas thought to himself.
"C'ya Later Roxas, C'ya Namine!" They called out from the jeep as Roxas and Namine walked up the driveway to their house. *Roxas looked up to the stars that covered the sky and sighed, breathing in the night air. "C'mon Roxas let's get inside," Namine said as she opened the door for him. "Isn't the guy supposed t open the door for the lady?" "Just get inside the freaking house Roxas, I'm getting cold." As soon as Roxas stepped in, Namine rushed in behind his shutting the door; "It's not that cold Nami, Stop over-exaggerating!" She playfully punched his arm and ran upstairs to her room. Roxas walked up the carpeted stairs to his room at the end of the hallway. He smiled contently and fell in bed falling asleep nearly instantly, still fully clothed.
"Roxas! Wake up!" a voice called. "ughhhhh what time is it?" Roxas asked his eyes still closed. "Somewhere around 3 AM just open the freaking window! The neighbors will hear me yelling!" Roxas finally recognized the voice as Sora's, and in it he heard panic. He sprung out of bed quickly unlocking his window and Sora climbed inside his room. "Sorry about this but-""Why are you outside my window at 3 AM yelling at me to let you in?" Roxas demanded. "Like I was saying," Sora continued, "I'm Sorry but my mom freaked out….she, she tried to kill me." Roxas finally noticed, Sora was crying.
