A/N: Okay, so while I was writing my other AkuRoku fic, I had the sudden urge to write this one. Again, there are a few footnotes at the bottom for you. Again, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or the characters. I hope you enjoy my story though. ~Enjoy

Prologue

It was the start of a new school year at the Pride Land Prep School for Boys in the upper town of Atlantica. The prestigious school contained three campuses for middle school, high school and college. Only the top students in the world were able to attend here if they were able to make it in as a first year of middle school (1). However, in rare cases a student was granted permission to enter later than the first year of middle school. This was the case for a first year high school (2) student named Roxas Strife.

Death and Chocolate

A week before school

Roxas Strife wiped the sweat off his forehead as he lugged his oversized suitcase up the steep marble stairs of the Radiant Garden dorm housing. The dorm room he was assigned was on the fourth floor of the thirteen story building. He would have loved to take the elevator, but a group of seniors chose to highjack the elevator operating system as a senior prank. A blonde strand of hair fell into his face remaining plastered there with sweat. The blonde teenager still had another floor to go before he reached his destination, but with the lack of wheels on his suitcase the last three floors had taken him to a deathly level of exhaustion. Without the stamina to battle it out to the next floor the teen leaned against the wall and slithered down it until his butt reached the floor.

A few students walked passed him giving him questioning looks, but none attempted to ask him if he needed help. The students at the school were all rich enough to hire people to bring their things up to their rooms. That was not the case for Roxas because he didn't have money and was there on scholarship money. The principal had informed him that he must receive a solid 4.0 to remain at the school. A solid 4.0 to Principal Xemnas' standards meant not a single A minus on any of his report cards.

He was about to get up and finish his hike to the next floor when a group of three of older teenagers walked passed him. The one thing that Roxas noticed the most was their hair. He noticed their hair because they all had unnaturally colored hair. The shortest had long silver hair, the one in the middle had long pinkish colored hair, and the tallest one had flame red spiky hair. The tallest one he noticed the most because Roxas being only 5'4" and the red haired teen was at least six foot something. On the way, the one with long pinkish colored hair pretended to trip and purposely kicked Roxas' suitcase making it tumble down the stairs to the floor below. The three older teens let out a roar of laughter as they high-fived each other before the disappeared up to the next flight of stairs.

The younger teen narrowed his deep blue eyes as he heard the laughter slowly disappear as well. If he hadn't been so exhausted he would have given the older teenagers a piece of his mind. Sadly, he didn't have breath to waste on them for now he had to lug his suitcase up two floors instead of one. A frustrated sigh escaped his lips as he stood up to proceed down the stairs to pick up his bag. It was a miracle that his suitcase didn't open up and scatter all over the stairway.

Ten minutes of hauling his suitcase up two levels of stairs and down the hallway Roxas had finally made it to his dorm room. With a sigh of relief he took out his key to make sure the numbers matched before unlocking the door to room 407. The door opened with a small creak to reveal a room with two beds, two desks, two closets and a door probably leading to the bathroom. There wasn't a kitchen because everyone was required to eat at the cafeteria, but there was a mini fridge between the two desks on the opposite side of the room. The beds were on either side of the door with a night stand on one side of the bed and the closet door on the other.

Roxas let his blue eyes examine every detail of the room and noticed the closet to his left was filled with clothes. The desk on the left side of the room was also covered in papers and science books. Although it looked a bit cluttered on the desk, it was somewhat organized from what Roxas could tell. His eyes scanned the room for any sign of his new dorm mate, but they didn't spot anyone. He figured that his dorm mate must be out with his friends, something the young blonde didn't have yet.

With one great push the blonde was able to get his suitcase into the room and close the door behind him. Now there was the choice of showering and then unpacking, or unpacking then showering. He opted for the first one since he could take a shower, relax and then unpack. With his mind made up he took his shower, relaxed for 15 minutes and then took an hour to unpack his belongings. Exhausted from his day of work he plopped down onto his bed falling asleep wondering the school had in store for him and what his dorm mate was like.

First day of school

Roxas had arrived a week before school started to get settled into his dorm, get his schedule, buy his books and find his classes. However, the whole week he was here not once did he see his dorm mate. He knew his dorm mate had come into the dorm because things were moved around and more books seemed to be piling up on left desk. The only thing Roxas couldn't understand was why he had yet to meet this person when they were supposed to be dorm mates. He began to wonder if he wasn't going to see his dorm mate for the entire year, but shook the thought from his mind. Such a thing was impossible since the two were going to be living together for an entire year.

He walked down the long path that led to the cafeteria so he could grab breakfast before his first class started. As he turned a corner to enter he ran into someone hard and promptly ended up falling to the hard cement. He was about to apologize to the person when a deep voice interrupted him making him look up into cold green eyes.

"Watch where you're going kid," the familiar red head growled. Now that Roxas had a better look at the older teen he noticed he was not only extremely tall, but also ridiculously slim. That and underneath his eyes were two upside down teardrop looking tattoos.

"I'm sorry I missed your fire truck red hair as I turned the corner." Roxas retorted as he gave the red head a glare of his own. He heard a few laughs as red head was joined by his two friends.

"New kids should learn their place," scoffed the pink haired teen as he dumped the contents of a water bottle on his head. "Consider this a welcoming gift." The three of them laughed as they left the younger blonde on the floor now soaking wet with water. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day if this was how it was starting off. Before Roxas could get up someone ran over to him and helped him up.

"Thanks," Roxas said gratefully as he looked at the person that helped him. The other teen had dirty blonde mullet styled hair with soft blue eyes. The teen gave him a big smile as he handed Roxas a handkerchief. He wiped off his face only to have water from his hair drip into it again.

"No problem," The mullet teen said, "You must be new here. My name is Demyx and this is my friend Zexion." The teen named Demyx pointed at someone that Roxas didn't notice until pointed out. Zexion just glanced up from his book with one blue eye, the other covered by his light blue hair, before looking back down at his book.

"Nice to meet you," Roxas said with a slight smile, "I'm Roxas."

"Nice to meet you too!" Demyx said with a bright smile, "Why don't you go get dried up in the bathroom while me and Zexion get breakfast. We'll meet you at the table by the window in the corner." Before Roxas could even disagree, Demyx waved at him as he disappeared into the cafeteria with Zexion. With Demyx's handkerchief still in the blonde's hand he turned to make his way to the bathroom.

After drying up he joined Demyx and Zexion in the cafeteria for breakfast to learn that the two had been dorm mates since their first year of middle school. Of course, Demyx did most of the talking while Zexion just sat there continuing to read. Every so often the light blue haired teen would look up and nod in agreement, but this was rare and if Roxas was paying attention.

The warning bell rang announcing they had five minutes to get to their first period. Roxas said goodbye to his new friends and promised to sit with them at lunch before heading down the hall towards his first class, Math.

After school

Surprisingly enough, Roxas' first day went by rather smoothly even with the morning fiasco that took place. He had made two new friends, Demyx and Zexion, and talked to them about the three bullies during their lunch period. From what Roxas had gathered they were the three most feared bullies in the school. The pink haired one's name was Marluxia, the silver haired one's name was Riku and the spiky red haired one's name was Axel. According to Demyx they could get away with anything because even the faculty feared them making Roxas wonder how safe the school actually was with three delinquent teens pretty much running it. Although Zexion assured him that they were just 'all bark with no bite following around their clown ring leader just because he almost killed someone five years back' was his words exactly before he went silent again.

Although Zexion said they were harmless Roxas still didn't feel safe from them. He was the new kid and that always drew unwanted attention from bullies such as those three. Wanting to forget about his bully troubles he darted to his dorm as quick as possible to avoid any contact with them. He pulled out his key and opened the door to room 407 to something that surprised him to death and chocolate now covering him from head to toe.
