(Roxas)

I can't believe this, was the first thing I thought when I entered my new school. My family and I had just moved to Twilight Town a couple of weeks before school started. And this is my first time ever going to public school. I've been home school ever since ninth grade. Now I'm in tenth and am going to an actually school. Start the horror music now.

Anyway, my name is Roxas. I moved from Destiny Islands along with my twine brother, Sora. I'm not that mad about moving, no. I'm actually pretty happy that we moved. The island was getting pretty boring. But as for Sora, he couldn't stop himself from crying when we left.

Anyway, back to where we were. I gulped as me and Sora made our way to the principle's office to get our class assignments. Sora knocked on the door and we heard a quiet come in.

"Welcome to Twilight Town University. Um…" The man greeted when we walked into his office.

"Sora." My brother introduced himself, waving.

"Roxas." I say quietly. I am a bit shy when meeting new people.

"Ah, you're the new students. I found a couple of other students that had the same time schedule as you boys do to show you around the school. I'm Diz, by the way." The man introduced himself. "Axel, Riku, you two can come in now."

The door opened and two older teenagers came in. One had silver hair, while the taller one had red spiky hair.

"Riku." The silver haired boy stuck out his hand, taking Sora's. "I was told me and you have the same schedule and have to show you around." Sora nodded shyly, blushing. "I'll show you to our first class." Riku left the office with Sora in tow, telling his own name.

"Uh oh, looks like Riku found himself another toy." The red head said sarcastically, making me jump. I completely forgot he was there. "The name's Axel. Got it memorized?" He grinned showing white teeth.

"I'm Roxas."

"Nice to meet you Roxy." I growled at the nickname.

"It's Roxas."

"Ok, Rox-ass." He grinned again, making me growl.

"Watch your language while in school, Axel." Diz gave a stern look towards the redhead.

Axel put up his hands in defense pretending to back away. "Sorry, Mr. Diz. Couldn't help my self." He grinned and gave a mock salute, grabbing my wrist on the way out of the office.

When we're out of the office, the red head finally lets go of my wrist. I look up at him with a glare.

"Are you still mad about that whole Roxy thing?" He says as he walks besides me, showing me to our first class together. I say nothing except fallow him. "Aw, come on. I didn't mean to upset you."

"I'm not made at you." I sighed, getting rid of my mad expression. "It's just…"

"Yeah?"

"This is my first time actually going to a public school." I say sheepishly, blushing hotly. He laughs and puts his arm around my shoulder, making me blush more.

"Is that all? You mean you've been home schooled this entire time?" I nod and his laughing stops abruptly. "Oh… I thought you were joking there a minute ago. My bad."

"It's alright." I smile. He grinned back.

"Here we are! English!" He exclaims loudly. I perk up at this. I love English and I'm pretty good at it. "If you ask me, I think I rather do Math than English."

"Not very good at it?" I smirk at the expression he makes.

"No! I mean… well, grrr darn you." I laugh. He opens the door for me and lets me through. I look to see the teacher grinning at me with a bright smile.

"Ah, you must be Roxas." She says cheerily and softly. "I'm Arith. You can sit by Axel in the back row if you like." Thank goodness she's not doing introductions.

I nod and head over to where Axel was already seated. The redhead patted the seat next to him and I sat down next to him, smiling. Axel's ok, I guess. But he sure is entertaining to watch. When he said he wasn't very good at, he wasn't kidding. He almost got every answer wrong the teacher would ask him.

So that's why he was held back twice. Ha! I laugh at him.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts as Axel waves his hand in my face. "Huh?"

"Man, do you space out a lot like this?" I smiled sheepishly and scratch the back of my head.

"No, not really."

"Good. 'cause I thought you were one of those types."

"And what's that suppose to mean?" I huff and cross my arms. Axel laughed and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"I hope you're not some geeky kid who plays chess and tetras on the computer all day and night, thinking that it's fun." I glare at him and shrug off his arm, walking into my next class. "Aw, come on. I was just kidding."

"And I like chess and I do play it on the computer. But not all day and all night like you said." I sat down in my seat with a huff. "And I'm not geeky."

"I didn't say you were. You need to lighten up some." The redhead gently punched my shoulder. I gave him a half smile and laid my head on my arms that were on my desk. "Hey, do you want to hang out later today, after school?"

I look up at him then look down at my desk as in thought. I don't know Axel very much, but he is entertaining. But what about Sora? Hn, he's probably gonna hang out with his new bud Riku. So that means I'll be alone at home while mom and dad are at work, leaving me alone in the house. Maybe I'll take up Axel's offer.

"Sure, we can hang out." Axel seemed to lighten up at this.

"Sweet! You could meet the others too." I gave him a confused look. "My other friends. Duh!" Oh, right.

Finally, lunch. I'm starving. My stomach growled to emphasize my point, making Axel laugh. I blush sheepishly.

"Whoa, Katherine's actually eating lunch in the cafeteria. That's new." I look up at the redhead in confusion. "See that girl over their." He pointed to a blond girl who was sitting alone as we sat at our own seats. She was really pretty with her short blond hair, catlike blue eyes, and pale skin. But she seemed scary at the same time.

She was black baggy pants and a tight camouflage shirt that showed her form. She seemed to be reading a book and eat at the same time.

"She's one of the coolest girls in school. But not a punk. Actually she helps out any one who's in trouble. But she rarely talks to anyone, except for her best friend." Axel explained. "If you don't mess with her she won't mess with you."

I nodded. But she seemed lonely.

"She doesn't mind if people call her names. But if people touch her and slap her, she won't handle it lightly." Axel chuckled as if remembering something. "One time, a guy pinched her ass and the guy had to go to the hospital for several broken limbs. That was funny!"

I just give Axel an odd look and glance back to the girl. Suddenly three guys came up to her and sat down next to her. She smiled at them and closed her book to chat with them. "Who are they?" I asked.

"Oh, them. They're her younger brothers and best friend." Axel explained. "The guy with black hair that almost looks like mine is her best friend Zack. The one with the long layered black hair is her younger brother Minzuki. And the white haired guy is Minzuki's twin, Reu."

"They look nothing alike." I murmur to myself. Axel heard me and chuckled.

"That's what they all say. But believe it, they're twins. Got it memorized?"

I smile and chuckled. "Memorized. So is her brothers and friend nicer? And more talkative?" Axel laughs and starts tearing into his sandwich.

"Oh yeah. And don't forget hot." I give him another odd look.

"Are you gay? Not to be mean or anything…" I look down at my food in embarrassment.

"Ya, you got a problem with that?" I shake made quickly.

"No! Not at all. In fact, my brother's gay." I stuff my mouth with a cupcake to shut myself up. Axel laughs again with his mouth full.

"Good, because we got a lot of gay couples here. Like my friend Demyx and his boyfriend Zexion, Cloud and Leon, Tidus and Wakka… and there's more but I can't name them all right now." I put his head on his palm as if in thought.

I look back to the blond then to man named Zack. He seemed like a nut ball and really talkative… but wait, what's that look he's got in his eye? And why his looking at Katherine like that?

"Hey Axel?"

"Yeah?" He looks back at me.

"Does anyone have a crush on Katherine?" Axel seemed surprised at my question.

"What brought this up?"

"I don't know just wondering."

"Well, if you really want to know the whole school has a crush on her. And the only ones who actually go up and try to win her heart are Reno and Sephiroth. But she just ignores them. And I do believe Zack has a crush, no, is in love with her."

"Does she have a crush on anyone?"

"Yep, Zack."

"So they love each other and don't even know about it?"

"Yep."

"Odd." I go back to my eating and listen to Axel's rambling, laughing at some of the jokes he does. Axel really is entertaining and knows how to cheer people up when they're feeling down. I guess he'll make a good friend.

The first day of school ended and it felt like my head was about to explode. I met so many people, I couldn't keep count. I even met Demyx and his boyfriend Zexion. They were pretty cool.

I'm waiting for Axel right now; he said he had to do something. Oh well, I could wait. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as someone grabs me roughly, digging their fingernails into my arm. I look up to see a blond haired girl glaring down at me with ocean green eyes.

"You think you're so cool because you got to hang out with Axel?" She said through greeted teeth. I gulped, not understanding what she was implying.

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb with me." Her nails dug deeper, making me hiss.

"Seriously, what are you talking about? I'm new here."

"I don't care if you're new, just stay away from Axel." Her glare became harder.

"Let the boy go, Larxene." A new voice said blandly. I look to my left to see that one girl, Katherine I think, looking at us with a blank look. Larxene turned her glare at the new comer, letting my arm go.

Larxene strode up to up to Katherine and hissed, "Don't command me like you own the place."

"I wasn't. I was just asking to let the boy go. And now that I see that you did, I guess that my work here is done." The taller blond turned to leave but was stopped by hand on her wrist.

"Don't you turn away when I'm speaking." Larxene hissed. Katherine looked down at the hand on her wrist and wrenched it away with a sharp tug.

"And don't you touch me with hands like those, bug girl."

This seemed to anger the smaller blond more, for the next thing I knew, she actually punched the taller girl in the face. Katherine wasn't surprised at this. Instead, she wiped the small amount of blood from her mouth and looked at Larxene with another blanched look.

Suddenly, she did a spinning kick and kicked Larxene in the face, making her fly across the hallway and land with a thud. I look a Katherine in surprise, remembering what Axel said earlier.

Speak of devil, here he comes just as Katherine was about to leave. The crowd that had formed made way for her as she passed by them.

"Hey Roxas, are you alright?" He asks concernedly, checking me over. I push his hands away and nod.

"Ya, Katherine came just in time before Larxene could do anything." I mumbled, looking to where Larxene laid unconscious.

"Larxene? What did she do?" The red head suddenly went from concerned to serious.

"She told me to stay away from you, that's all."

"That's all?" He suddenly became angry. "If Katherine hadn't come any sooner, you'd be shark bait by now. Larxene's a crazy bitch and wants no one near me to steal me away from her. She thinks we're together, but we're not. Thank god."

"So she usually acts without thinking?" I ask as I hull my backpack onto my back.

Axel nods. "Yeah." He gets own backpack and starts walking to the school's entrance. "So you still up with hanging out with us?" I look up him with a grin.

"Of course, I'm not chickening out because of my nervousness." I stood up straighter and puff out my chest. Axel laughed.

"That's the spirit!" He slapped me in the back. I cough and gave a week smile. "Come on! Demyx and Zexion are waiting for us." He was about to grab my wrist and run when a voice stopped him.

"Yo! Axel!"

I turn around to see the two boys from the cafeteria running towards us. Minzuki and Reu was it? I remember Minzuki had black hair while Reu had short white hair.

Minzuki was tall, muscular, and tan. The muscle shirt didn't help either. His eyes were an olive green; his tan bringing out his eyes more. Reu was short, well a head shorter than Minzuki, with hazel eyes that had a black tattoo across them, making him look like a raccoon. He had several piercings in his ears, one in his nose, and one lip ring. He even had a tattoo of a raccoon on his left bicep.

All I could think was, Wow.

"Hey Axel." Reu smiled, showing pointy canine teeth. "You heading out?"

Axel ginned. "Yep. I'm showing shorty here around." He placed a hand on my shoulder. The two boys looked at me, making me nervous.

"Why hello there. I'm Minzuki." The black haired teen shook my hand. He sure did have big hands.

"And I'm Reu." The white haired boy waved. "And you are?"

"Oh, uh… I'm Roxas." I blushed in shyness.

"Nice to meet you Roxas." They both said in usion. Scary. "You mind if we chill with you guys?"

"Nah, I don't mind. I was hoping we would run into you later." Axel chuckled, grinning like goofball. "Where's Zack?"

Reu rolled his eyes. "He's hanging out with Katherine today. I swear he should just kiss her and get the whole nervous thing about dating out of the way." He crossed his arms in annoyance.

I couldn't help but laugh at that.

"We should hurry up and meet the others." Minzuki suggested, knowing Demyx wasn't very patient. The others nodded and went to meet up with others, me following. I guess it wouldn't hurt to make new friends.

First chapter! Man it was hot yesterday! It was about 65 degrees yesterday. And it's hot today too. I wonder how hot it is.
