"This story sucks. There's no flow, you're missing capitalization, and it's rushed." Roxas could see the girl's eyes water with tears. "It's like I'm reading a first grader's writing, not a high schooler's."
"B-but…"
"No buts. Kairi, I want you to redo this, and actually try. Turn it in tomorrow."
The auburn-haired girl really did break into the waterworks this time. She took the paper from the teacher and slowly turned away, heading back to her desk. Roxas rubbed his eyes exasperatedly, wishing that he could be anywhere but here teaching a creative writing class. Most of the kids in here couldn't even write!
"Zexion, it's your turn!" The boy closed his heavy black book carefully and stood, brushing a piece of paper into his hand.
Roxas accepted his paper gratefully. Zexion was one of the few students who could put pen to paper, a talent that the blonde teacher appreciated.
"Zexion, this is wonderful. I especially like the way you describe the characters." Roxas complimented him. The slate-haired male nodded in thanks, taking his paper back and returning to his desk.
Oh dear God. Please no…
"Axel, you're next…"
The scraping sound of a chair being pushed out, along with a bang like a door slamming. Roxas prepared himself mentally for the problem student of the class. It wasn't that Axel couldn't write. It was just what he actually wrote.
Roxas only had to skim the paper once with his eyes to tell that the redhead had done it again.
"Axel, this wasn't the assignment that I gave you." The statement was habit now, delivered in a monotone, and met with the same wide grin as always.
"But isn't this so much more interesting?" Axel's venomous green eyes flashed.
Roxas lowered his voice. "Axel, I'm your teacher. I'm not going to have sex with you."
"You know you want to, though. And I'm a whole year older than you."
This was true, but only because the senior had been held back a year. Yep, Roxas was a teacher at the age of only eighteen, making him the youngest in the school.
"I still can't do that."
"Look, I got creative with this one. Do you especially like the way you-" Axel's voice dropped to a whisper. " Moan my name? Scream out when I-"
"That's enough!" Roxas interrupted quickly. He hoped that he was just imagining the scarlet tinging his cheeks. "Go back to your seat."
"Sure thing, teacher." Again, that cocky smirk! One of these days Roxas was going to kill himself, and maybe take Axel with him to save the rest of the world.
And Axel gave him a long, knowing, look that said quite plainly, 'One day you will give in…and that day will be soon…'
Roxas shuddered in fear.
:::::
From the depths of my mind…came this foul monster. XD Seriously, what is this? But the writing bug bit me, and I must obey. :P
By the way, I'm not a Kairi hater in any way, just in case that came across. I actually like her. I pulled her name out of a hat for this story, so a bad writer she is for now. :)
