A/N- Hello people! This is my first Kingdom Hearts fic so I apologize if it is a bit OOC. I cannot take credit for the boarding school setting. The credit goes to my friend "-literary license-". Thank you so much! Please read and review. And now, without further ado, here is chapter one!

Roxas' POV

I quickly glanced down at the paper in my hands and then at the number above the door, making sure I was in the right place. I fumbled around in my pocket for a few moments, and then finally found my key. I nervously slid the key into the lock and turned. The first thing I noticed when I opened the door was that I was no longer alone.

Great,' I thought to myself. The redhead sitting on the bed across from the door looked up from whatever he was doing. He stared coldly at me. I tried my best to avoid his piercing green eyes as I slowly crossed the room and placed my duffel bag and messenger bag on the other bed.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing?" the redhead asked me. I turned around to face him, still avoiding his eyes.

"Moving in," I said quietly. I turned back to my bed and dumped everything out of the duffel bag.

"That still only answers half of my question," the redhead said, obviously annoyed. I guess I couldn't really blame him. I had, after all, walked into his room, without even bothering to knock, and told him I was going to be his new roommate. I turned around and looked into his face for the first time.

"My name is Roxas. This is room 342, I isn't it?" I asked him nervously. He was way taller than I was, and his flaming red hair and bright green eyes made him extremely attractive.

"Yea," he answered, now interested. He got off his bed and walked over to me. I handed him the paper I was still holding and he looked it over. It was the paper they gave me when I was brought to this place, the first thing I was given when they removed the handcuffs. "Guess that means were roommates," he sighed. I looked up at him.

"Looks like you're not used to having a roommate," I commented, turning back to the mess on my bed.

"Nope," he responded, "they never gave me one before. I think they were worried that I would set him on fire or something." I looked at him strangely. "I can summon fire," he said, taking off one of his black gloves. Flames danced across his fingertips. "Hurry up and put your stuff away," he said. "The dinner bell is going to ring."

I turned back to my bed and picked up all my clothes. Without bothering to fold them, I threw then into the middle drawer of the dresser that was next to my bed. I grabbed all of my bathroom products and put them on top of the dresser. I tossed everything else into the bottom drawer of the dresser, and then closed it with my foot. When I was done, I looked over at the taller teen. I was about to call his name, when I realized that I didn't know what it was.

'Did he even tell me?' I wondered. I had been in my own world for a while when he was talking, and I didn't even know! I wanted to ask him, but it would be embarrassing. What would I say if he had told me? I couldn't tell him I wasn't listening to him!

"I'm Axel, by the way," the redhead answered the question that was running through my mind. "Come out into the hallway for a second." Axel opened the door and I followed him out.

"Hey Axel!" someone yelled from a few feet away.

"Hey Demyx," Axel said back. Then he turned to me. "That's Demyx," he informed me, "and behind him in Zexion." Demyx waved and Zexion smiled weakly.

"I'm Roxas," I said, waving back. I wondered briefly how Demyx was able to smile so genuinely. I hadn't smiled like that in years. I shuddered as I thought about my past.

"Roxas, are you all right?" I barley heard the redhead's question.

"Huh?" I asked. Axel and Demyx gave me worried looks, while Zexion played with his shirt sleeve. "Oh, yea. I'm fine," I answered. At that moment, the dinner bell rang.

"Coming?" Axel asked. I nodded and followed him down the hall.

Axel's POV

I looked across the table at the small blonde. He was currently staring down at his untouched plate of noodles.

"Aren't you going to eat?" I asked him. He shook his head, indicating no, and stood up. Roxas threw out his food and walked out of the cafeteria. I glanced after him, but didn't stop him. I wasn't really hungry either, so I pushed my plate aside and took out my sketch book and a pencil. I quietly started to sketch Demyx. As I sketched, I thought about Roxas. I found myself wondering if he was into guys. I wanted to know more about him. He was attractive, with his soft blue eyes and messy blonde hair. I sighed softly, hoping that one day soon, I would get to see him smile. I packed up my things and left the cafeteria, wondering what to do for the two and a half hours before lights out.
