Chapter 1: Mystery Man

According to Roxas, his life could be summed up in two words. Dull, and repetitive. Monday through Friday, he would go through the same exact schedule, day after day. He would wake up at seven, take a quick shower, dress, then leave hurriedly for school; grabbing a quick breakfast on his way out the front door. The school day itself would pass by in a whirlwind of lectures, note taking, and being assigned homework. Afterwards, Roxas would head home, work on homework until his mom came home from work, help her prepare dinner, and then the two would sit and share the meal, every once in awhile attempting at conversation. Finishing dinner would result in Roxas heading back upstairs to his room to finish his homework. By the time he would have it completed, it would be late enough to go to bed. Then he would wake up the next morning, and repeat the process all over again. This was how Roxas always pictured high school life being like, and this was how he thought it would stay. He didn't know how wrong he was.

ROXAS POV

"Roxas honey, time to get up."

I groaned, then rolled over, trying to bury myself deeper in the covers. My mom sighed, then came over and pulled all the covers off the bed, causing me to fall and land on the cold, hard floor. It was a Monday, I hated Monday's, only this particular one was worse. For the past 3 weeks, school had been out for Christmas break. And let me tell you, going to bed in the early hours of the morning and waking up around 1 in the afternoon was going to be a tough habit to break. So here I was, laying on the floor at seven in the morning, with my mother standing over me, trying to get me up for the first day of the new semester. And all I wanted to do, was go back to bed. Eventually though, my mom managed to get me up and into the shower, then retreated downstairs to make coffee.

After I had showered somewhat quickly, I made sure I had all my school stuff, then left, arriving to school shortly before class started. Twilight High was where I spent 8 hours, five days a week. I had always been considered a good student, but as soon as I entered my junior year, I just wanted school in general to end. I made my way to where my locker was located, then stood there for a minute trying to remember the combination. As I was twisting the lock this way and that, someone called my name from somewhere down the hall, I turned seeing one of my best friends, Hayner, making his way towards me.

"Hey Roxas. What's up?"

"Not much, trying to get my locker open."

He laughed, "here, I think I remember what the combination is."

I moved out of the way, making room for Hayner to mess with the lock. Somehow, he managed to get it open on the first try.

"Thanks."

Hayner waited by my side while I got everything organized, then we made our way down the hallway.

"Hey Roxas, what class do you have first?"

I took my new schedule for the semester out of my back pocket and checked it quickly, quieting a groan. Physics. I had bloody Physics first. That made my day.

"Physics"

Hayner laughed, "Hey! Me to! We should probably get goin."

I groaned and covered my face with my hands, which is a pretty difficult thing do when your walking down a hallway. Physics was an interesting class to take, but it could be extremely tedious, half the classes consisted of lectures and note taking over formulas and facts we had discussed many times before, and most kids, myself included, sometimes had difficulty staying awake when they had the class last period of the day. And this semester, I had it FIRST! There was no way I would ever make it through this day without caffeine.

XxxX

Students filtered slowly into the room, trying to find seats near the back where they could sleep or do other crap and get away with it. Me and Hayner were lucky, we were the first two people in the room. More minutes trickled by, and before we knew it, the bell begging class rang. Everyone hurried to find last minute seats, some groaning and cursing when they realized they had to sit in front. The teacher walked into the room, and everyone became instantly quiet. That's the kind of effect Mr. Yen Sid had on people, you either listen and shut up, or get the death glare and an after school detention. I really haven't figured out why he had that effect on people, but to me he was just like any other teacher in the building. Even if he would always wore blue outfits, had a beard that was over 2 feet long, and thick eyebrows. True, he was weird, but what teacher wasn't a little on the loony side?

"Welcome back. I truly hope that you all had a safe and wonderful Christmas. Before we begin the class, I have a special announcement to make."

He looked around ominously, almost as if daring one of us to speak.

"This semester, we will be hav-"

The classroom door banged open, causing half the students in the area to jump. Hayner actually feel out of his seat. We all looked at the intruder, jaws dropping in shock in the process. Standing in the doorway, arms folded across his chest, was the weirdest, yet most intriguing man I had ever seen. He had a head full of red hair that stood out in spikes near the back , giving him the look of a pissed off porcupine that had recently been dyed red. The mystery man also had two purple triangular shaped tattoos under his eyes. But it was the eyes themselves that held my attention the easiest. They were a bright, deep green. I had never seen eyes like his before, they seemed to be filled with all sorts of secrets and thoughts that no one but he would ever be able to understand. Mr. Yen Sid regained his composer and looked at us all again.

"Class. This will be our new student teacher. He will be with us for the rest of the year, doing all the things a normal teacher would do. Later on, he will actually take over the class, so please treat him as you would treat me, or any of your other teachers."

He turned toward the redhead, "Would you care to introduce yourself?"

Mystery man walked toward the center of the room, stopping right in front of the blackboard. He peered around the room, emerald green eyes skimming over everyone. His eyes focused in on me, and our eyes locked for a split second before he turned away. For some reason I couldn't explain, my heartbeat speed up, and color was rushing to my cheeks. Lack of sleep must be getting to me.

"The name's Axel. A-X-E-L You will only be calling me by this name, not Mr., or Mr. Axel. Just Axel. Got it memorized?"

We all nodded, to scared to speak. From the corner of my eye, I saw Hayner take out a piece of paper and then scribble something down. He folded it once, then passed it to me. I opened it, holding back a laugh as I read what it said,

'Wow. Sounds like this guy is gonna be a complete hard ass.'

I took out a pencil and scribbled a quick reply,

'I think you're right. Better behave like good little boys and girls, or else he might eat us.'

Hayner laughed at reading my response, causing everyone in the room to turn and look at what was so funny.

"Is there something you'd like to share with the class Hayner?" Mr. Yen Sid asked, disappointment laced into his tone.

"N-no sir. I'm sorry sir"

"Take heed that it doesn't happen again."

Hayner nodded, choosing to focus in his textbook. Axel locked his eyes on mine again, and I could have sworn that I saw a shadow of a smile playing on his features.

After the note incident, the rest if class past by as normal. Mr. Yen Cid gave a lecture review in which we discussed everything we learned last semester, and Axel sat in the corner, every once in awhile taking notes on a clip board he held in his lap. The bell signaling the end of class rang, and everyone hurried to get out as soon as physically possible. Me and Hayner passed by Axel on the way out, and he smiled down at us, revealing a row of white, straight teeth. I felt myself blush again and quickly pulled Hayner out the door.

This was going to one hell of a semester.
