Life was going great for me… in elementary school. Riku and Kairi were my best friends. We ruled the school and then… we went into middle school.

Riku discovered that he was athletic, and could beat up nerds for money. Kairi woke up one day and realized that with her good looks she can get anything she wants, plus she found out she had a tongue like a knife. Riku went into sports and Kairi went into cheerleading. They ditched me once they realized I was nothing special.

Thanks guys…

In high school they hooked up like the typical cliché and I decided that hey, gothic poetry, who knew? No one talked to me since I was the loser of school. I laughed at that idea and decided to try out writing my poems and posting them in my classes. The teachers, god forbid, enjoyed the hilarity of my poems that ranted about society and the stupid rankings of the school's popular kids.

Yet still I was ignored, until I discovered The Nobodies. "Hey man." Roxas said as I approached. We nodded to each other as I sat down in my normal dark corner of the parking lot. Axel was sitting on top of a hot red Mercedes he's been doing his best not to blow up. It still looks good but the key word is looks.

"Riku tried to talk to me today." I informed them just as Zexion and Demyx walked up. This is our group. Larxene and Marluxia used to be with us but then they decided to be the school bullies instead. They still come by every once in a while but we're grateful they're gone. Other than that everyone else just graduated. Lucky for us Axel's a junior who keeps flunking.

"What'd he want?" Axel growled looking tired. Roxas seemed wary as well. They know what Riku and Kairi did to me and even found out that the reason why people avoid me is because they threatened everyone to do so, a bit harsh if you ask me but whatever.

"He wanted to make sure he could still use my part of the island for his drunken parties. Told him no but he took that as a yes." I said blankly. Roxas laughed while Axel just shook his head.

"Why does he bother asking?" He muttered and kicked the tire of his car. I have good friends now. Roxas is laughing at my pain, and Axel is all talk but do nothing. I still like these guys though and would much rather have them than no one.

"Well with Kairi a fuck you would be nice at this point." I said with a shrug.

"According to her though, you're not an option." Roxas grinned. He's too happy today. Can I kill him? Axel rolled his eyes at the blond and then stood up. We all got up then because Axel's inner clock is never wrong. He's very good at telling time without having a watch, a very weird talent but a cool one non-the-less.

"Ugh stupid keyboarding." We all sighed heading off to first period. Cid is a great guy and all but he treats keyboarding like a life or death situation. You just type a few words and numbers then done. Work on your speed and you'll do fine, but no… he wants us to practice our speed with each letter using some stupid keyboarding tutorial thing. It's like a fun little game that no one wants to play. Especially not as many lessons as you can do in an hour and a half class period. Stupid teachers and their ideas of fun…

"Alright guys. It's time to do eight of yer lessons things and then yer done fer the day." Cid said with a toothpick in his mouth. I sighed and looked at the computer. Axel nodded while Roxas banged his head on the desk.

"Eight lessons in one day… no one will finish." I grumbled and began to work anyway. I'm pretty fast when it comes to typing. 65-70 words a minute while sometimes I go to 80. I'm thinking of taking this class again in my senior year but that's only if I don't get Cid again. I started to go through the lessons getting bored of it. That's when Kairi turned around from her seat in front of me.

"Hey Sora." She smiled innocently. I glared at her trying to figure out what the girl wanted. She just continued to smile waiting for my response.

"Hello Kairi." Axel cut in from beside me with a smirk on his face. Her eyes narrowed at him but then she just took a deep breath and began to smile once more.

"Hey Kairi." I replied waiting to see what would happen next. She then passed me a note and winked then went back to her work. I blinked in surprise seeing that she's as fast as me on typing. Roxas and Axel suck. 30 is Roxas and 33 is Axel. They need some help if they ever want to go far in this world… oh well they started out as fewer than ten words a minute though.

"So do you want to hang out with Riku and me tomorrow night at starbucks? We might hit a movie after that then go to the mall." She said sounding sincere enough but I've known her for too long to think she's just trying to catch up with her old friend Sora. She's too evil and manipulative for that.

"Maybe. Call me later and I'll see." I said and turned back to my work. I glanced over to see her purse her lips then take a deep breath turning back to her work. I raised an eyebrow at this then shook my head and shrugged. Who cares at this point?

"Wow that was weird." Roxas said after class with his hands behind his neck walking slowly to our next class.

"The little girl decided she needs her old doll again?" Axel asked with a frown. I glared between the two then sighed. Yeah it sucks. If they want me back they will use all the power they have to bring me back, only to toss me away again. If Kairi turned out to love me then I could see how that'd be different but she didn't show any of her crush signs or love signs so I knew she's not interested in me.

Riku is just ridicules since he's a guy. Plus that one kiss was just a dare that Kairi gave us. I had to lean in since he was too chicken but we got it over with and done then went on to our next dares. I'm so tired of all their stupid games. I wish they were more blunt like Axel and Roxas.

"Hey Sora, why don't we get some ice cream tonight and hang for a while?" Roxas asked making me smile at him. They may be weird but I still like them, especially at times like this.

"Sure." I grinned just as Axel glared.

"Were you just going to ignore me?" He asked angrily.

"It's a given that you're coming. We couldn't get rid of you even if we tried." I sighed and winked at him before laughing. Axel blushed and glared once more but I could see the ghost of a smile on his face.

Instantly I bumped into Riku. He looked at me with wide eyes and a red face then scowled. "Did Kairi invite you?" He asked me softly. I nodded but said nothing looking bored. "Well what did you say?" He demanded angrily.

"I said maybe. You guys have to call me sometime tonight so I can see if I can work it out. I am a busy man you know." I said blankly then grabbed Axel's arm. Roxas had already left to go to chemistry. "We're off to physics!" I grinned at him making Axel smile back.

Riku glared at us then stalked off. "Someone is positively gay." Axel smirked making me look at him curiously. "No Sora I did not mean happy." He frowned and patted my head with a look of pure bitterness. "This poor boy doesn't know that homosexuals are out there in the world!"

"Wait so… Riku is gay?" I asked slowly feeling my face begin to turn red as I looked at the ground in shock. Okay so I'm not against homos or anything but… I've never met one or even considered Riku to be gay. He's too… jock-like.

"Yes." Axel informed me as though he were talking to a child. I glared at him making the guy laugh. "Don't pout at me. It's unmanly." He teased but I could tell he was happy all the same. A happy Axel is a not-getting-into-trouble-just-yet Axel.

"I was pouting. I was frowning with style." I informed him angrily as we walked into our next class. I don't have Kairi or Riku for the rest of the day. Should I be happy or concerned about that?
