A Silent Cry for Help
By: Courtney
Silent Destiny (Roxas P.O.V.)
I love ruling the school.
My name is Roxas, and I'm about to start my senior year at Twilight High. Now, I've never been the dating type—however, that is so about to change.
School isn't going to start for a while, so my friends and I are standing near my car talking.
About ten minutes before school starts, a new car pulls into the school parking lot. Its passengers are as beautiful as the car itself. My best friend, Sora, whistles, and then his jaw drops as a girl with auburn hair that goes to her lower back and violet eyes got out. My other friend Axel just about tips over as a girl with dirty blonde hair that goes to her lower back and eerie glowing emerald-green eyes gets out after the first girl. After about a minute, the driver's side door of the Camaro opens and another blonde gets out and looks right at me. Her smile sends a slight shiver up my spine; her eyes are the same color as her car. Her hair, which is a silver blonde color, sets off her white sun dress perfectly and the light blue heels she wears make her ocean blue eyes shine even more.
I want to know what her name is.
The auburn haired girl leans over and taps her,
"They're all staring at us, Naminé," she hisses quietly.
Ah, so her name is Naminé; it fits her perfectly. She turns back to her friends and laughs. Apparently, Seifer has finally noticed the three girls as he starts toward them with two of his own friends. Sora, who is arguing with Axel about which girl is hotter notices this, and stops mid-sentence to watch. None of us can hear what he is saying, but it's very clearly pissing off the girl with dirty blonde hair.
As if to solidify that point, we all watch in amazement as she pulls back her arm and punches him so hard that he lands with a solid thud near my friends and me. All three of us look up as the sound of heels approach my car—the girl with dirty blonde hair is walking toward where Seifer's laying.
When she finally stops, she takes him by the front of his shirt and lifts him off of the pavement.
"If I ever hear you say that to another girl again, and trust me I'll know if you do, I swear to God, I will hunt you down and kill you myself," she spat, with her teeth bared.
Seifer nods his head frantically and then scrambles away as fast as he possibly can. We hear two more sets of heels approach.
"Nice hit, Larxene," the redhead says with a smirk.
"Thanks, Kairi," the blonde says, with a smirk of her own.
It was then that the bell rings, to say that we have ten minutes to get to class. With one last look at the girls, my friends and I turn and head for the building.
When I walk into my English class, I trip over my own feet as I notice the blonde angel sitting in the seat next to mine. Mr. Roland looks at me and laughs,
"Roxas, Miss DeSol will be your partner for the year," he says, smiling at the girl.
I nod my head dumbly and sit next to the blonde goddess. I look to my left and find her staring at me. I sit there, not sure what to say. I smile at her and receive a small smile in return. As the rest of the class enters the room, all the girls glare at the blonde sitting quietly next to me. She doesn't seem to notice, as she is busy staring down at the sketchbook sitting on her desk. I glance over her shoulder to see what she's drawing, and my jaw nearly hits the floor. The picture I see would put a professional to shame.
Naminé finally seems to notice the glares being sent her way. She looks around and locks eyes with Selphie, who glares harder when the other girl simply looks back down at her sketch book. I see Selphie huff in irritation. She gets up and walks over to the girl sitting next to me,
"Hey, blondie, I hope you don't think that Roxas will end up falling for you," she says with a sneer as she flips her hair.
The girl sitting next to me finally looks up, tilts her head to the side and quietly says:
"I don't think anything of the sort because I don't even know who Roxas is," she responds in the softest voice I have ever heard.
Selphie looks scandalized.
"Roxas is the boy sitting next to you, stupid," she snaps at her.
The blonde's gaze flicks over to me momentarily,
"Oh, I see. Well, I still don't think anything of the sort," she says back as if the other girl hadn't just insulted her.
Selphie looks confused for a moment before she flips her hair again and responds.
"Good, because he belongs to me," she snarls.
Naminé shrugs and doesn't respond, so Selphie huffs, stomps her foot and stalks back to her seat. I laugh quietly to myself at the subtle jab at Selphie's massive ego. I feel eyes on me and glance over to see the blonde looking at me. I smile and look towards Mr. Roland as he starts class; out of the corner of my eye I see my silent angel do the same.
After class, as we are leaving the room, Selphie runs into the blonde and sends her into the door frame hard. I hear a gasp of pain leave her as she slides to the floor. I glare at Selphie, who looks surprised to see the anger in my dark blue eyes as I go over to help the girl on the floor up. I get to her at the same time as Mr. Roland. I gather her books at he gently helps her off the floor,
"Are you alright, Miss DeSol?" he asks quietly.
"Yes, I'm fine," she says back in that same quiet voice.
I pick up the books that had fallen from her arms, I hand them to her silently, she smiles at me and quietly says,
"Thank you," she says softly.
I smile back and nod, as we leave the room I see Naminé catch up with her friends, Axel and Sora come up behind me. Sora pokes me in the back,
"Roxas, are you okay?" he asks me.
I jump slightly before turning and nodding,
"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply.
