"You're fine Roxas, now stop whining and go get dressed."
The blonde sighed as his mom pushed him up the stairs. Grumbling, he shut his door loudly and proceeded to get dressed. As he walked by the mirror, Roxas couldn't help but stare as he saw his reflection. He looked like a zombie crossed with a Vampire with his disheveled hair and pale skin. The only color on his face was his pale pink lips and sapphire blue eyes. Shaking his head, Roxas sat at the edge of his bed, stuffing his textbooks into his bag and grumbling about how high school sucked. As he finished packing all the books and pointless things he needed for the day the blonde heard a annoying buzzing sound coming from his mahogany nightstand announcing the call of one of his best friends, Hayner.
"Hey! Roxy!" Hayner's upbeat voice drawled from the receiver.
"You know I hate being called that, Hayner," Roxas stated with an annoyed huff, "It's too girly!"
"But it's such a cute name, Roxy. Anyway did you finish the summer homework for Mr. Peterson's class?"
"Yeah . . . It's not something I would have liked to spend time on though. I mean C'mon! Spending 2 weeks reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? I have better things to do!"
Hayner laughed loudly, making Roxas cringe away from the phone.
"That, my friend, is what Olette is for."
Roxas just shook his head, playing with the torn corner of his History book. Hayner had a bad habit of procrastinating and, at the very last minute, either rushing to get it done in time or piling the load onto some
one else.
Roxas sighed as he waited on the sidewalk for his bus, which seemed to always be late. Beside him was his twin brother, Sora, who was hopping from one foot to the other in anticipation.
"calm down won't you?" Roxas huffed," it's just high school. Nothing special."
"But it's my first year in it! All I've heard is what you've told me! I finally get to live it!"
I'll be surprised if he even makes it through his first day, Roxas thought as a flash of yellow appeared in the corner of his eye.
The bus, which was 10 minutes late, finally pulled onto the street and stopped in front of them with an annoying screech. The doors hissed open to allow entry and the two brothers got on quickly.

Axel smirked as Demyx tripped over his own feet, causing the mulleted teenager to tumble into a cement block that served as a hang out space for the red head and his friends.
Marluxia was sitting propped up against a wall reading a fashion magazine, his girlfriend, Larxene, sitting in his lap texting away and loudly smacking her gum. Riku, a silver haired boy, quietly read in another corner, only moving to flip the page every now and then. The last member was a solemn, blue-violet haired teen by the name of Zexion, who was sitting much like Riku, but instead of a book he had his eyes closed listening to music as he rest his head against the wall.
Axel sighed as he watched Demyx scurry off, embarrassed that anybody had to see him trip like that. It was turning out to be a boring day indeed.
"why did I even bother coming to school?" The pyro groaned, stretching his neck, only satisfied when he heard the sharp pop of bones cracking and shifting.
Marluxia looked up from an article and smirked.
"I don't know, maybe because you'd fail if you didn't?"
The red head glared at his friend.
"Shut up, smart ass! I wasn't asking you!"
The pink haired man shrugged and went back to reading, shifting to allow the vibrant blonde some more room.
