Roxas, a teenage anorexic, thinks that his life couldn't get any worse than this, until he meets a fire-truck-red head name Axel…
Roxas is a teenage boy living with anorexia for about 3 years now. His mom left his dad for a rich paster and left them both behind at Twilight Town without a word. And ever since then Roxas thought he wasn't good enough for her or anyone else. After the brutal divorce, his dad started to get more and more verbally and physically abusive.
It was now time for school, and Roxas was trying to get out the house before his dad woke up to 'wrestle' like they do every morning. There was food in the fridge from last night's left-overs (his dad may be abusive but he wouldn't let him starve! C'mon!) But he didn't want any of it.
Now at school, a new red-head showed-up. Roxas noticed him in the halls once or twice but never really paid attention to him before.
School was over and Roxas was heading
home to another beating from his father 'bet he's drunk again'
he thought to himself until he heard a voice yelling:
"Hey!
Blondie!" he turned around and saw it was that new red headed kid
from school. He was about 3 years older than Roxas. But what the hell
was he doing talking to him? He doesn't even know him!
"Hi…um…you…"
Roxas, knew it sounded corny and it was a stupid thing to say but
what else did was he supposed to say? He didn't even know the guy's
name!
"The name's Axel." He handed him out his hand.
"Ax--who?" he asked with a
confused look on his face.
"A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?"He
grinned.
'This guy's sure is cocky!' Roxas
thought to himself.
"OK…And I'm Roxas" he answered then
shook the red's hand.
"Well, Roxas, you sure are a skinny one"
he joked
"What the fuck is your problem, man!?" he flashed! So
angry, Roxas stormed off!
There, all alone, in the middle of the empty side-walk, Axel asked himself 'what did I say?'
