Friends
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Again. I don't own Kingdom Hearts! \(T^T)/
The lunchroom was busy as usual, the sounds coming out of the room contradicting its small student body. There were about fifteen or twenty small tables, about five people at each one. Except for Zexion's. Xion sat directly across from him, rambling on about the project. Zexion, of course, had his face buried in his Lexicon but was in fact, listening for a change.
"Well, let's figure this thing out." Xion said, opening up Google Drive on her laptop. At the top, she typed in "Song Project."
"The logical thing to do would be to each choose five songs." Zexion said, closing his laptop slightly.
"True. Here, go to Google Drive, so we can do that thing where we type at the same time. It's just easier that way." she said, taking charge. Zexion sighed as he did as he was told. Who was this new girl? He logged in and waited for the page to load. When the page finally went up, he realized he needed a new laptop and that she had already listed her five favorite songs.
1.) In The End- Linkin Park
2.) Yui- Again
3.) Resonance- T.M Revolution
4.) Raise Your Weapon- deadmau5
5.)Sanctuary- Utada Hikaru
He looked at the list and smiled saw they shared some of the same favorite songs. He switched those out for other ones as he finished their list.
6.) Rocketeer by Far East Movement
7.) Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift
8.)Shooting Stars by Hidden Cat
9.) Is Forever Enough by Hawk Nelson
10.) Burn It Down by Linkin Park
You like Linkin Park too? Xion typed. Zexion erased that and wrote back.
Yes, and Utada Hikaru, too. You stole my favorite song! XD Xion laughed at this and erased the line. She saved the paper and opened a new tab. As she searched for the lyrics to her songs, she noticed Zexion with his face buried in his Lexicon. She walked behind him without him noticing and poked his waist.
"AAACK!" he yelled, throwing his Lexicon into the air. "Now you've done it!" he exclaimed as the lunchroom was enveloped in darkness. he clambered after his Lexicon and muttered a spell over the room. Immediately the room cleared and everyone resumed their lunchtime activities.
"What... what was that?" Xion asked, eyes wide.
"What was what?" Zexion said, acting like nothing happened. No one was ever supposed to find out about the illusions...
"Don't you dare lie to me." Xion growled.
"I... I would really rather not talk about it."
"Oh. well, in that case... Ok!" she said, grinning. Zexion gawked at her sudden emotional change and returned to his Lexicon. Girls...
"Look up your lyrics." she commanded, the fingers clacking against the keyboard.
"Alright, alright!" he silently scolded himself for being such a sucker and doing whatever girls say. The next few minutes were silent between them as they looked up the lyrics to the songs. But of course Xion had to end the silence.
"...Are you-"
"Yes, Xion. I am."
Lunch passed quickly after that, Xion getting up only to grab a couple of sodas for herself and her focused partner. And a slice of New York Style Cheesecake.
Xion ran out of the lunchroom as the bell rang, yelling things like "I don't wanna be late" and "ah! My shoe!" Zexion shook his head and laughed under his breath. Laptop bag slung over his shoulder and Lexicon hin hand, Zexion gathered his empty soda can and his plate from the cheesecake and dumped them into a bin on his way out. Not bothering to grab anything out of his locker, he just kept walking to the library as free period commenced. He took a second to look away from his Lexicon and look around the halls, finding the path to the library as deserted as ever.
Pressing open the door, he was greeted by the librarian with the usual "Hello, Mr. Corazza." He nodded her away and retreated to his normal seat in the back, next to the shelves where the history books were stored. After seeing he would mostly have the library to himself, he took the extra precaution of sitting near the history books, something he was not interested in. Retrieving his laptop from its bag, he opened it and pressed the power button. He took his headphones out of his bag and plugged them into his phone, playing music to pass the time.
Footsteps neared his secret place but he couldn't hear them. A dark-blue eyed girl giggled and peered over a bookshelf, trying to be sneaky. However, her attempt at chicanery abruptly ended when the bookshelf toppled over. Zexion could hear the sound, even through his headphones. Plucking the headphones off his head, he got up and turned around to see Xion with books everywhere. Eyes wide, he stood there with his jaw hanging.
"Ow..." Xion muttered, picking herself up. She looked up at Zexion, a fierce blush attacking her face.
"Uh... What were you doing?" the silver-haired teen asked, still extremely confused. Xion looked down, trying to hide her blush and now a sheepish grin.
"I was gonna sneak up on you..."
Zexion stared at the girl, surprised about how forward she was. It hadn't even been a day, and he was treating him like her best friend or something! There must be something wrong with this girl, he thought to himself. Who in the world could trust a guy like him so readily?
"Well, let's clean this up," he sighed, pushing the bookshelf upright. Xion grabbed as many books as she could and began placing them in the bookshelf. Zexion called over the librarian, who fainted at the sight.
With a new found shock in their minds, the teenagers had no idea what to do, so they did the first they that came into mind. They ran.
"Oh my gosh, that was insane!" Xion whispered as they hid under the stairs, school now over. They laughed for the umpteenth time that day, Xion's laughter turning into tears as she expressed the pain in her sides from laughing so much. Zexion smiled and laughed more, tears forming in his eyes.
Then,he stopped laughing as the tears caught in his eyes and his breath caught in his throat. The illusion he cast upon himself that day ended.
