Chapter 1: Welcome To Twilight Town High!

Axel groaned as he was awoken by his alarm clock. His long arm appeared from out under his sheets and turned the blasted thing off. He cracked open one eyelid and glanced tiredly at the time.

Six a.m. Who in God's name wants to be woken up at this hour? Stupid new school. Making me get up so damn early. I should make a petition.

With a groan, Axel slowly made his way out of bed and into the bathroom down the hall. He was nearly blinded by the lights. With a sigh, he approached the sink and began his daily routine of brushing his teeth and taking a shower. By the time he finished all that, it was already 6:20. That meant that he had 40 minutes to get to school. And he couldn't afford to be late today. Today he was attending his first day of school at Twilight Town High. His father had gotten a new job here in Twilight Town, so he and his mother had to pack up their stuff in Radient Garden and move here. And Axel was pissed. He didn't want to move. Especially in the middle of the school year. He didn't want to be labeled as the new kid. But you know what they say. When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. And that is exactly what he plans on doing.

Axel opened his closet and closely examined its contents. He had to pick out the perfect outfit. One that stood out but not too much. One that made him look hot, but not too hot. One that gained attention, but not too much attention. Axel grinned.

Right here! This is perfect!

Axel had chosen to wear his black tank top, his dark skinny jeans, and his black tims. He nodded his head in approval.

Yes. This outfit works nicely.

With that final thought, Axel grabbed his bag and exited his room. He dumped his bag on the kitchen counter and headed to the bathroom. Now, this was the most important part of getting ready. Fixing his hair. Axel liked his hair a certain way. He liked it to be slicked back and spikey. So, with a hair brush in one hand and his hair gel in another, Axel started to fix his unatural red hair. First, he applied the gel. Now, this took a lot of time. He had to make sure that every hair follicle was exposed to the gel. If not, then his hair would get frizzy and become unmanageable. After all the gel was applied, Axel slowly started to comb out his red hair in perfect spikes that ended just below his shoulder. Axel stared at himself in the mirror. Now, he was ready.

Watch out Twilight Town High. Hurricane Axel is coming.

OoOoOoOOoOoOooOoOoooO

Axel had arrived at his new school with ten minutes to spare. He parked his red mustang and headed to the school doors. He walked in and headed straight for the main office where a young blonde women was typing away at her desk. He slowly approached her. She stared at him.

''What do you want?'' she snapped, her eyes narrowed into slits. Axel did a double take. That was unexpected.

''Um, I'm Axel Sinclair. I just enrolled here.'' Axel spoke slowly, not sure how this women would react. Much to his surprise, her face broke out into a large smile.

''Oh! So you're the new student! I'm so glad that you chose Twilight Town High as the place for your high school education. Here is your schedule, and if you walk that way, you should find the principle's office. I'm sure that he has some information to share with you.'' Axel stood there as the blonde woman placed a bunch of papers in his hand. He could only nod as he listened to her babble. The young lady gave him a gentle push in the direction of the principle's office.

''Have a nice day!'' she shouted as he walked away. Axel shook his head. What was wrong with that woman? Was she bipolar or something? Did she forget to take her medication? Whatever. It doesn't matter.

Axel reached the principle's office and walked in. A large, dark skinned man with long silver hair and amber eyes, sat at a large mahogany desk. His arms were folded across his muscled chest. Axel gulped. This guy was intimidating.

''Axel Sinclair,'' The principle gestured a chair directly in front of his desk. ''Please, have a seat.'' Axel almost cringed at the man's incredibly deep voice. With a nod, he hesistantly approached the chair. Axel watched as his new principle shuffled some papers.

''So, you previously went to Radient Garden High School, correct?'' Axel nodded.

''And based on what I'm seeing, you weren't the best student, now were you Mr. Sinclair?'' Axel nodded again.

''Listen, sir, I will guarantee you that I will take my studies very seriously. You won't have to worry about me.'' Axel said. Xemnas nodded.

''Good. Because I'll have you know Mr. Sinclair, Twilight Town High has the highest number of students to graduate in the state. And I would like to keep it that way. So, you had better keep your grades up. Now, since you are new and don't know the school very well, I asked another student to be your guide. He should be waiting outside the main office. You can go now. I'm sure that Larxene has given you all the proper information.'' Xemnas waved at Axel, signaling for him to leave. Axel quickly collected his things and headed to the door.

''Oh, and Mr. Sinclair?'' Xemnas called. Axel turned around.

''Yes?'' Xemnas gave him a large smile.

''Welcome to Twilight Town High.'' Axel nodded once again and quickly got out of there. Once he was out of the office, he sighed and shook his head.

This school is crazy. First, it's the bipolar secretary. Then it's the scary principle that looks like a body builder. God, what did I just get into?

Axel left the main office and saw someone waiting for him. The boy was tall, like him, with sandy blonde hair that was styled like a mohawk. On his back was a very large guitar. The boy waved at Axel and walked in his direction.

''You must be Axel. I'm Demyx. Nice to meet you.'' Demyx said, extending a hand. Axel took it and shook it firmly.

''Nice to meet you too. So, are you going to show me around this crazy school?'' Axel asked. Demyx laughed.

''I guess you've meet Larxene. Don't worry about her though, she's like that with everyone. Some people are calling her bipolar.'' Axel snorted.

''I can understand that. But what about the principle? That guy looks like he was in the army.''

''Yeah. Everyone knows not to mess with him. A pissed off Xemnas is not a happy Xemnas. I learned that the hard way.'' Demyx cringed. Axel smirked.

''What did you do?'' he asked.

''Let's just say that I filled up all his desk drawers and file cabinets with water.''

''Ouch. What'd he do to you?''

''I got detention for two months. I also had to do community service at the school library. You should have seen his face. He looked like he wanted to beat the living shit out of me. Thank God Saix was there or else I would have been dead.''

''Saix? Whose that?''

''The assistant principle. You don't want to mess with him either. He can be cruel when he wants to. But for some odd reason, he seems to be the only one that can calm Xemnas down.'' Demyx leaned in.

''Don't tell anyone I said this but, there's this rumor going around that they're a couple.'' Demyx leaned back.

''But you didn't hear that from me.'' he said. Axel smiled. This guy was cool. He was just about to say something when the bell rang, signaling the start of school. Demyx looked at him.

''Well, I guess we'd better get to class. We have all the same classes, so you don't have to worry about not knowing anyone.''

''Thanks.''

''No problem. But we should probably get going now. We have chemistry and believe me when I say, we don't want to be late. Professor Vexen won't stop talking about it if we are.'' Demyx said. He turned and started heading up the staircase. Axel followed him.

They walked up two flights of stairs and headed towards the last room in the hallway. They walked in just as the late bell rang.

''Well well well. So nice of you to show up on time, Mr. Jones.'' Vexen said sarcastically. Demyx grinned.

''No need to thank me Professer V. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. For allowing me to learn the beauty of chemistry.'' Demyx said in response. Vexen glared at him.

''Sit down.'' he ordered. Demyx nodded and took his seat. Axel was about to follow him when Vexen stopped him.

''And who might you be?'' he asked.

''I'm Axel. I just enrolled here.''

''Oh, so you're the new student. Why don't you introduce yourself?'' Vexen suggested. Axel nodded and turned to the class.

''Um, I'm Axel. I don't really have much to say except that I used to go to Radient Garden High. Oh, and I'm single, for anyone who's interested.'' Axel smirked and winked. The girls blushed with the guys rolled their eyes. Vexen mumbled something under his breath.

''Just sit down.'' he said. Axel took his seat next to Demyx. Demyx grinned at him.

''Nice one.'' he whispered. Axel smirked.

''What? Gotta let the ladies know that I'm available.'' Demyx chuckled.

''True.''

For the entire class, Vexen just talked about the periodic table and the importance of the elements. By the time the bell rang, Axel was almost alseep. He glanced at Demyx, who was snoring softly. Axel shook him. Demyx jolted awake.

''Wha? Who woke me up?'' Demyx questioned. Axel sighed.

''I did. Now c'mon. Where's our next class?''

''Across the hall. English.'' Demyx answered. Axel nodded and stood up.

''Well then, let's go.''

Demyx led Axel out the room and across the hall. There a large man with long midnight hair tied back in a ponytail stood at the board, writing directions. He glanced at them, his violet eyes narrowed.

''Demyx. Sit down.'' he ordered. Demyx jumped a bit and rushed to his seat. Axel stiffened when the man turned to face him fully.

''You must be the new student, Axel Sinclair. I am Xaldin. Take your seat next to Demyx. He will fill you on what we are doing.'' Xaldin instructed. Axel didn't argue. This guy creeped him out. So without much delay, he sat down next to Demyx.

''We're reading Hamlet.'' Demyx said when he sat down. Axel's eyes lit up.

''Really? I like Hamlet.'' Demyx stared at him, dumbfounded.

''Are you serious?'' he asked. Axel nodded.

''Yeah. I like the concept of it. Dad gets murdered and his son avenges him. It's cool.'' Demyx snorted.

''That's the first time I heard that.''

Their conversation was cut short when the bell rang. Xaldin, who was waiting by the door, closed it. He turned to face the class.

''Alright class, you-'' Xaldin was interrupted by a knock on the door. Growling, he opened it.

''Mr. Light! You're late!'' Xaldin snapped. From what Axel could see, he was talking to a boy with spikey brown hair and deep blue eyes. Said boy smiled sheepishly.

''Sorry Mr. Xaldin. I just came from gym.'' he explained. Xaldin sighed.

''Just be glad that this is your first lateness. Don't show up to my class late again. Now, go sit down next to Demyx and the new student.'' The boy gave a quick nod and walked over to the back where Demyx and Axel were sitting. He smiled at Demyx.

''Sup Dem.'' he greeted. Then he noticed Axel.

''Who's this?'' he asked.

''This is Axel. He's new.'' Demyx answered.

''Oh, welcome. This school is pretty crazy but you'll get used to it eventually. Oh, I'm Sora by the way.'' Sora shook Axel's hand.

''Nice to meet you.'' Axel said.

''Hey! Enough talk back there!'' Xaldin shouted from the front of the room. All three boys went silent. Xaldin smirked.

''Good. Alright, now as I was saying before, you all will be reading a section of Hamlet today. After you finish reading, I want you all to discuss it with your partners. Begin.''

Axel, Demyx and Sora read the assigned section of Hamlet. When they finished reading, they turned to each other.

''So, whose ready to talk Hamlet?'' Sora asked. Demyx scoffed.

''Forget Hamlet. This is one of the only times that we get to talk in this class. We should use this to our advantage. Maybe we should tell our buddy Axel here some stuff. He is new after all.'' Sora thought about. Then, he grinned.

''Alright. But before we start talking, let me give Axel a warning.'' Sora's grin disappeared and his bright blue eyes went serious.

''Don't touch my girlfriend. Or my best friend's girlfriend. If you do, you're dead.'' Axel, a little put off by Sora's sudden change in attitude, could only nod.

''Don't worry dude. I'm not the type of guy to take someone else's girl. I promise not to touch your or your best friend's girlfriend. You have my word.'' Axel promised. Sora relaxed and he gave Axel a lopsided grin.

''Good. Just make sure that you don't break that promise.''

''I won't.'' Demyx clapped his hands.

''Good. Now that that's over. We can finally talk about some real shit, instead of discussing Hamlet.'' Demyx said. But before he could get another word out, the bell rung. Demyx groaned.

''Damn bell.'' he muttered. Axel patted him on the back.

''Don't worry buddy. You can tell me stuff next period. Speaking of which, where to next?'' Demyx grinned.

''Lunch.'' he said. Axel felt his lips curving up into a smile.

Finally, his favorite period of the day.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOo

After lunch, the rest of the school day went by rather quickly. And for that reason, Axel was glad. Today was really exhausting. He just wanted to go home and take a nap. Currently, he and Demyx were walking towards the art room. Now to be honest, Axel didn't really care much for art. But this was the only class that he had that didn't require a lot of work.

He and Demyx reached the art room. They walked in only to find that the class was almost empty. Axel blinked.

''Wow,'' he said. ''I thought that there would be more people.'' Demyx shrugged.

''Not a lot of people take art. I can't understand why though. It's one of the easiest classes. That's why I'm taking it. But don't worry, the other kids will come soon enough.''

''Yo! Are you done talking like a bunch of old ladies at a book club meeting? You're blocking the way.'' A voice said from behind them. Axel and Demyx both turned around to see a girl about a foot shorter then them. Demyx smiled sheepishly.

''Sorry Roxas. We'll move.'' Demyx gave Axel a slight shove and moved out of the way. Roxas smiled at him.

''Thanks Demy.'' Roxas said. She turned and walked further into the classroom. Axel couldn't help but stare at her.

Roxas' attire consisted of a black leather jacket, a black beanie, high waisted jeans, black combat boots and a black tank top. On her wrists were several bracelets and several rings adorned her fingers. A silver key connected by a chain was wrapped around her neck. Her dirty blonde hair stopped just past her shoulders. But it wasn't Roxas' clothes or her attitude that struck Axel. No, it was her eyes. He had seen those eyes before. Sora had the same eyes. Those bright blue eyes that resembled the ocean. Except, while Sora's eyes were friendly and inviting, Roxas' eyes were cold and sharp. Axel wondered why. He would have kept staring at her if Demyx hadn't elbowed him. He grunted and clutched his side.

''C'mon. Let's go sit down.'' he said. Axel glared at him, but followed him nonetheless. As they were taking their seats, Axel glanced at Roxas. Demyx noticed this.

''That's Roxas Light, Sora's sister.'' he said before Axel even had the chance to ask. Axel looked at him.

''Sora's sister?'' Demyx nodded.

''Yeah. But most people call her The Ice Queen.''

''The Ice Queen? Why do people call her that?'' Demyx shrugged.

''Not really sure. It's probably because of her cold and uncaring attitude towards everyone except her friends. That and she can be a real bitch. I thought that about her when I first met her. But after getting to know her a little better, I realized that she wasn't all that bad. She's actually pretty cool. She also happens to be the best artist in this school.'' Axel perked up a little after hearing that.

Best artist, huh? That just made things interesting.

Now, remember what I said about Axel not really caring about art?

Well, now he had a reason to care.

OoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoO
