Roxas Anderson's hand fumbled in his pocket for the keys to his new apartment. He balanced a large box full of the last of his personal belongings from his parent's house in one hand while trying to unlock the door while trying to unlock the door with the other. Finally getting the door to unlock, Roxas walked inside, placed the box on the floor and turned on the lights. Roxas flicked the switch and looked around his new apartment. The room was plain, but chic (even if it was filled with tons of boxes at the moment). The apartment was a decent size, with a living room and a built in kitchen. On the left wall was a black door, leading to the bedroom, which contained only a bed and a nightstand.

Roxas shuffled around the maze of boxes and into the kitchen. It contained a modern black marble counter that was surrounded by black metallic barstools. He opened the fridge, which contrasted nicely with the surrounding black furniture. Roxas took out a small round Babybell cheese and sat down on one of the barstools. He unwrapped the creamy goodness from its red-waxed casing and reflected on his day.

It had taken him a month to move out of his parents' house and into his new apartment. Tomorrow would be his first day of college, and he didn't know what to expect. He was feeling pretty lonely due to not seeing his twin brother, Sora for the last few weeks. Sora had decided to go to a different college and had already moved into the dorms there. This was the longest they had ever been separated, and it was painful. He felt like his other half was missing. Sora had decided to go to Hollow Bastion University and enroll in the pre-med program there. Roxas found it humorous. Sora had always been extremely clumsy and the thought of having other people's lives in Sora's hands made him shudder. Roxas on the other hand, had decided to go to Radiant Garden University, a couple cities over from Hollow Bastion. RGU had a great English program, and it was Roxas' top choice college.

Done with his evening snack, Roxas decided on going to bed early so that he would be rested for his first day of college tomorrow. He kicked some boxes out of the way and clambered to his bedroom. He changed out of his clothes, set his alarm for 6:30 am and hopped into bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, Roxas fell into a deep sleep.

†~†~†

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DO-

Roxas groaned and pulled his pillow over his head to try and block out the extremely loud radio.

NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY! NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE!

"Ugh…. I can't believe I'm getting Rick Rolled by my alarm clock..." Roxas rolled over and glanced at the clock. It read 7:47. He was late. Extremely late. For his first day of college. Roxas' eyes widened in shock. He said one word before scrambling out of bed in a ferocious attempt to make up for the lost time.

"Shit."

†~†~†

Roxas power walked down the hallway. His phone read "8:05". Roxas muttered to himself. "Why the hell does class start at 8:00 in the morning?"

The room numbers on the walls quickly passed him by, as he looked for Room 813, where Physics 104 was located. His eyes were glued to the left wall as he watched the odd numbers go by.

801…803…805…807…809…811…813…815…Wait.

Roxas stopped in his tracks and backed up a couple of steps. The sign next to the door read "813". This was it. Roxas slowly opened the door and walked inside quietly, trying not to be noticed. However, the teacher, who had already started the standard introduction speech, did notice, and stopped mid-sentence to glare at Roxas. Roxas glued his eyes to the floor and said a quick "Sorry," before rushing to an empty seat towards the back of the room. Several people turned around and looked at him with an "Uh-oh you did it now" look, while others silently giggled to themselves, happy that it wasn't them. The rest of the class was too tired to do anything. When Roxas got to his seat, he slumped down feeling embarrassed and ashamed that he had already managed to embarrass himself five minutes into his first day at college. Roxas sighed quietly. "I really wish Sora was he-"

Roxas wasn't even able to fully vocalize his thought when the door to the classroom erupted open with a loud THUD. Roxas winced at the noise and turned his gaze to the origin of the loud commotion. He raised his eyebrow as the first thing he saw was a head of flaming red hair styled into sharp spikes. The redhead grinned as he walked further into the room. "Sorry Teach!"

The teacher sighed, "Axel, I told you to call me Mr. Säix."

Axel waved the teacher off. "Yea, yea, I got it memorized, Teach."

The teacher, Mr. Säix as Roxas now knew, pursed his lips and glared. "Just take a seat, and don't disrupt my class again."

The redhead mock saluted the teacher and sauntered over to the empty seat next to Roxas. As he was walking towards the back of the room, Roxas couldn't help noticing that he was quite attractive. The redhead wore a black shirt that was just tight enough to show off the muscles in his abdomen. He also wore a pair of straight skinny jeans that rode low on his hips. The outfit was simple, but accentuated his lankiness. Not in a bad way however. This Axel guy was really ho-

"Why hello there, blondie." Axel was smirking. Roxas blushed, realizing that he had been staring.

"Oh..um…hey" Roxas looked down and tried to find something to distract himself from the hot guy standing next him. To no avail, Roxas couldn't find anything. He settled on twiddling his thumbs for the rest of class. The redhead chuckled and sat down, kicking his feet up onto the desk, ready to waste another hour and a half of his life.

†~†~†

The bell that signaled the class to end, rang. Roxas put his stuff together, got up from his seat, and walked out the door. The only homework the class had gotten was reading. Roxas could tell that this class was going to be extremely boring, and wasn't looking forward to the rest of the year with Mr. Säix. There was one thing the spiked his interest though (pun intended)….the attractive redhead that was in his class… Roxas shook his head. It was only the first day and his thoughts were already springing towards a not needed romance. He needed to focus on college. A shout came from behind him.

"HEY BLONDIE!" Confused, Roxas turned around to see who had just yelled down the hall. To his surprise, it was the same guy from his physics class. Roxas stood there with a look of "who me?" on his face. The redhead, grinning, walked a little faster to catch up to where Roxas stood. "You forgot this". Roxas tilted his head to the side in confusion until he saw a small wooden cylinder between the redhead's long fingers.

"….You made all that noise to return a pencil?" Roxas said with an eyebrow raised.

"You betcha, blondie." The redhead placed the pencil in Roxas' hands.

Roxas frowned a little. "I have a name you know."

The redhead grinned. "Enlighten me."

Frowning even more at the redhead's sarcasm, he said "It's Roxas."

The redhead winked. "Well hello there Roxas. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?"

So there wasn't really any hotness going on in this chapter...but there will be! I promise! x3 Reviews would be lovely. Chapter 2 coming real real soon! Like in a couple hours soon. :)
