Roxas's POV
A smirk travels across my face as I meet myself for the first time while looking into my mirror. No longer shut in, contained, I am free to be myself. No more disgusting private school uniforms or big city buzz, at sixteen my life is just beginning. I look good I realize as I tug on my new shirt the front a simple black and white checkered design. My shirt hugged to me and ended right as my jeans begun; hugging low on my hips they were ripped in all the right places and had a slight flare at the bottom. My hair pops right back into place, satisfied I turn away and leave my room.
The next thing I know I am turning into the main office at my new school, finally a nice little public school. The first thing I notice is the nametag on the desk. Mrs. Skype. "Hello dear, may I help you?" she asks smiling.
"I'm Roxas; I am starting school here today." I say confidently and shift my bag on my shoulder. "Of course! Roxas we have been expecting you. Ohh Mr. Wen, Roxas is here." An older man walks out of the guidance office and smiles in my direction. After I zone out not listening to the kindly man in front of me, I come back just in time to receive a little folder filled with everything I need. He mentioned something about finding a student to be my guide; I didn't plan on that happening. "Uhh you know Mr. Wen, I got here early. It's still another fifteen minutes till homeroom I wouldn't mind looking around myself, if that's okay?"
He fell for it, "See you later, Mrs. Skype." I said striding out of the office and into the empty hallway. Noticing the way the lockers were numbered, I glanced in my folder to the note card with my locker number and combination, and walked to find my locker. I continued to wander around finding my classes quite easily as the hallways were empty. The only students I saw were a few in a science room who must have been making up a lab. The cafeteria was next to come into view, my eyes scanning it as I walked by the large doors. There was a single group of people at one of the cafeteria tables, all of them a blur. I caught a flash of red, and then I found myself looking into a pair of intense green eyes before stepping out of view.
After lunch is drama class, I know I have already passed the performance center, so moving on to art. As I am walking down the hallway to find the art room I hear what sounds like boots clomping along somewhere behind me. I stop walking but can't decide whether to turn and see who was approaching. "Hey there hott-stuff!"
I turn and look behind me, once again meeting a pair of intense green eyes. "The names Axel, got it memorized?" The talking distracted me enough to break away from his eyes and I glanced to the rest of the boy. He wore a black shirt with some weird logo on it that hung loosely on his thin figure, it fell over his jeans, which were dark and seemed to fit perfectly regardless of his tall stature. He looked surprisingly intimidating with small tattoos under his eyes and the coolest spiked red hair I have ever seen.
"Nice to meet you Axel. But, uhh, are you coming with me? Or should I just continue, and have you end up following me again?" I said, proud of my ability to stay cool. With that, his smirk widened into a full-blown smile and he approached. "You got spunk, cutie, I think I may just stick around." And so I continued on my search for the art room. "So are you lost, or rather, where are you taking me kid?" Axel asked looking down at me quizzically.
I stopped and pointed at the art room "I am going around finding my classes so that when I have to go to them I won't need someone to hold my hand. I will only have people wishing they could." I glanced up to see his reaction and he just smiled and continued to look down at me but then he opened his mouth. "You're so cute; I am definitely going to have to keep you around. But now I am not so sure I can introduce you to my friends, I don't think I want to share you." Did he just say share me? I glared at him slightly confused.
"So you said this is one of your classes huh? Art with Mr. Valentine." He said pointing at the door I had led us to. "Uhh huh, period six." I replied in a mumble. "Period six? No way that is my class, now we can be art buddies! Lemme see that schedule." He demands still smiling at me, a smile I am beginning to enjoy. I hand over my schedule my own smile growing on my face as he studies it.
"Awesome, it looks like we have all but two classes together! Wait it says here you are a junior, then why are you in all my classes?" He is obviously happy but his look is one of total confusion.
"I have been going to a private school since I was little; they seemed to think I would be ahead of the kids my age." I mumbled not trying to sound snotty. He nods seeming to understand, then turns and begins to walk off. I shrug and follow him. "Ok debate class, good I need a debate buddy; it's right down the hall, I'll show you."
More and more students begin to bustle about in the hallway, and I am swept up in it all. Some girl whistles as Axel and I walk by, and with a glance, I notice all the people watching me. "Axel, who is the cutie?!" I cannot tell who screamed it and it seems Axel can't either, but it doesn't stop him.
"The hot new kids name is..!" then he stops and looks at me confused. "Holy shit kid, you never told me your name!" I smirked at the shock on his face. "Roxas." I stated and he just nodded because the girl who screamed was behind us now. Having found the debate room we now headed back down the hall, I directed us back towards my homeroom.
Just then, a spunky looking brunette chick walked over and licked my face. She giggled and ran off before I could say anything. I could hear conversations of people in the hallway at their lockers, many scattered with little things like "Finally a cute guy, or did you see the hot new kid?" I picked the right outfit for sure. Man, this place is spunky.
Then I realized a girl had joined Axel and was talking to him with a powerful voice. She was scary, and when she saw me looking at her she glared at me then whipped around and bit my neck. I saw her nose ring flash away as she sauntered off and I turned to Axel to get some answers.
