Memoirs of Someone Beautiful
2-Opposites Attract?
I walked helplessly through the crowded halls, bumping into at least three people every 10 seconds.
I couldn't believe how crowded it was. Back home in Traverse Town the school wasn't nearly as crowded and busy. The school's population a mere 283 students.
I looked from locker to locker, trying to find my own. All the lockers were painted with a painfully bright yellow, the color jumping out at you, making it hard for you to look away no matter how much you hated it.
When I found the one I was looking for, I hesitantly walked up to it, frowning when I saw I had a bottom locker. Sighing, I kneeled down and attempted to put the combo into it. I pulled up on the lever, only to find that the combo wasn't put in right. Trying again, I pulled the lever up once more grunting in frustration when it still remained locked.
"Need some help?" a cheery voice said from behind me.
I jumped up in surprise, banging my head hard on the locker above me that I didn't realize was opened. A loud clang resonated through the hallway, a few curious eyes wandering to where I stood.
Mumbling a few curse words, I rubbed the spot where I hit my head, a dull throb pulsing through my skull. A migraine waiting to happen.
"Oh sorry man! I didn't mean to scare ya!" the bright, cheery voice exclaimed.
Looking up I saw a odd looking kid standing in front of me. A large smile on his face.
"Though I don't blame ya, I am pretty scary!" the kid said thrusting his thumb towards his chest proudly.
I gave him a funny look. This kid looked like he couldn't hurt a butterfly. I looked him over. He had blonde hair styled into what oddly looked like a mullet mixed with a mohawk, and lively green eyes sparkling with happiness.
"So..ya needed help?" he said pointing at my locker.
"Oh..uhm yea." I mumbled.
The kid bent down and held out his hand for my combo, after handing it to him, he quickly spun the numbers in, and then smacked his fist hard on the door instead of lifting the lever. The locker swung open.
Standing up, the kid smiled at me triumphantly.
"Oh...thanks." I said quietly.
"No problem! I'm Demyx!" the kid cried happily, sticking out his hand for me to shake.
Realizing he told me his name, I hesitantly grabbed hold of his hand.
"I'm Roxas." I mumbled.
Demyx shook my hand vigorously, my arm wobbling as his squeezed my hand enthusiastically.
"Nice to meet ya!" Demyx said. "We don't get to many new students here.!"
"That's because you scare them all away." a dark, monotonous voice said from behind me.
Demyx released his death grip on my hand and put his hands on his hips.
"That's not true Zexy! Your waaay scarier than me!" he exclaimed.
I looked behind me, seeing a actually scary looking kid standing there. He was rather short, but that didn't make him all the less scarier to me. He had what looked like purplish-gray hair that swept over his face, covering it almost completely. The only feature that you could make out through his hair was one of his steel gray-blue eyes.
"I told you not to call me that." the person apparently nick-named 'Zexy' said, still in a monotonous voice.
"Aww, but it's so cute!" Demyx giggled, moving past to wrap his arms around a stern looking 'Zexy'.
"My names not Zexy, It's Zexion." Zexion emphasized.
Demyx didn't relinquish his hold on Zexion, but instead kept holding him like he was about to fall off a cliff. Zexion looked overly annoyed, though, as I looked closely at his face, I could've swore I saw a light, pink, tint across his cheeks.
Zexion pushed Demyx's arms off of him forcefully, walking away down the hall-way, without another word. I stared after him, watching his retreating form disappear around a corner.
"Don't worry about him, he may seem all rough around the edges, but he's really a cool guy once you get to know him!" Demyx said to me, that happy glint still in his eyes.
I kept looking at the hallway, slowly realizing that the hall was almost completely empty. With break-neck speed I tore my back-pack off of my back and spilled it contents into my open locker, grabbing what I thought I needed. I slammed the metal door, and ran off down the hall without saying good-bye to Demyx. It wouldn't be good to show up late to your class the first day of school.
-----
I skidded to a halt in front of a large wooden door with a small glass window in the middle of it. The name plate next to the door read "Vexen – Science".
Taking a deep breathe, I slowly opened the door, it creaking fairly loudly. Right when I closed the door behind me, the school bell rang. Just in time.
Smiling softly to myself, I looked around the classroom, my smile fading off of my face when I saw every student looking in my direction, all of them already in their seats.
Gulping, I moved towards the teachers desk. I stood there awkwardly, waiting for the teacher to notice me. He seemed busy grading some sort of papers. His very long, light blonde hair cascaded over his shoulders onto his desk.
Without looking up at me, the teacher spoke in a voice that I didn't expect from him. A rather annoying voice.
"Your the new kid?"
I almost cringed when I heard the sentence. I was going to hear that a lot.
"Y..Yea." I stuttered out, hearing whispers start traveling across the classroom.
"Good..Good." the teacher said standing up to his full height.
He had a very tall, slender body, with green eyes that shone with what looked like some sort of craziness.
This teacher scared the crap out of me.
"I am Mr. Vexen, that is what you will call me, nothing else." the teacher said moving out from behind his desk to stand in front of the classroom.
"Children this is Roxas Strife." he said, doing some sort of grand gesture towards me.
My cheeks grew hot, the stares from all the students making me shake nervously.
"Hmm, let's see...where to put you?" the teacher wondered aloud, putting his thumb and pointer finger on his chin.
"Put him back where he came from," a somewhat familiar, lofty voice said in the body of students sitting on desks. I looked to where the voice came from and saw the kid wearing the black beanie I met before school sitting in his desk. A cruel smirk on his face.
My nervousness turned into slight anger, my jaw tightening.
"Silence!" Mr. Vexen all but yelled. He glared at the kid with such ferocity, it looked like he would burn a hole straight through him.
This teacher definitely scared me.
The beanie kids face slightly paled, and he said nothing else.
"Why don't you sit next to Miss Carson?" Mr. Vexen suggested, looking over at me. "Miss Carson, please raise your hand."
I looked through the crowd of students and saw one girl with maroon-red hair raising her hand. Without hesitation, I hurriedly took my seat next to the girl, desperate to get out of the classes eye.
Sinking into my desk, I hoped that the rest of the day wouldn't be like this.

I walked slowly through the lunch-line, the mass of students in front of me and behind me making me slightly uncomfortable.
As I reached the serving bar, I looked over my choices. Hamburger or sandwich. Without really paying any attention, I grabbed what was in front of me and moved out of the line, now realizing a problem. Where would I sit? I looked over the crowds of students sitting at the cafeteria tables. Beginning to think that there was no empty seats.
"Roxas!" a cheery voice shouted.
I looked to my left and saw Demyx waving his arms frantically, beckoning for me to sit next to him. I saw the Zexion kid sitting there as well, he was glaring at Demyx. I walked over to the two of them, plopping myself next to Demyx on the hard wooden benches.
"Hey Roxas! How's it going?" Demyx said looking at me enthusiastically.
"Pretty good.." I muttered, looking over the heads of all the students in the cafeteria, looking for a familiar brown spiky, head of hair.
"What ya looking for?" Demyx asked, scooting closer to me to follow my gaze.
"Someone." I replied, slightly annoyed by Demyx's closeness.
"Let him breathe, idiot." the low voice of Zexion said from across the table.
Thankfully, Demyx scooted back over to his place.
"Oh sorry Roxas, just tell me if I'm bugging ya." Demyx said giggling.
Ignoring Demyx's comment, I smiled broadly as I saw my twin walking across the lunch-room towards me, over-joyed to see someone that I knew.
"Hey Rox!" Sora said smiling back at me, sitting himself across from me, next to Zexion.
"Hey." I replied, feeling the happiest I've been all day.
"Ooohhh, who's this?!" Demyx cried, leaning over the table and looking at Sora closely. Sora looked at me, a look that clearly said "Who the hell is this?"
"Demyx this is my brother Sora." I uttered.
"Cool!" Demyx exclaimed, grabbing hold of Sora's hand and shaking it much like he shook mine earlier.
"I'm Demyx! And this is Zexion." Demyx said letting go of Sora's hand and pointing at Zexion who now had his nose buried in some book.
Sora looked at Zexion then at Demyx probably wondering the same thing I've been wondering. How could someone like Demyx and someone like Zexion get along?
"Hey." Sora said shyly, giving a nervous smile. Zexion closed his book and looked over at Sora, then at me.
"Twins." he stated simply.
"No waayy!" Demyx shouted. "How could you tell Zexy?!"
Zexion glared heatedly at Demyx, but otherwise ignored his nickname. "It's obvious."
"Not to me!" Demyx said now staring from me to Sora, then back. I picked at my food, now getting slightly irritated at Demyx's constant hyperness.
"Demyx, lay off." Zexion stated. "No wonder you don't have any friends."
Demyx looked over at Zexion and crossed his arms over his chest, smiling playfully at him.
"That's not true Zexy, your my friend" he said happily.
Zexion pursed his lips, but said nothing in return. Demyx kept on smiling happily.
Me and Sora looked at each other, I shrugged.
I guess opposites really do attract, I thought to myself. I looked over the other tables in the cafeteria, my eyes stopping when they moved over a certain table with a certain red-headed god sitting at it. He was talking animatedly with the kid with silver hair I saw Sora staring at earlier, the silver-haired kid was not talking back, but seemed to be listening.
"Axel." I heard Zexion say suddenly.
I looked over at him, my cheeks reddening when I saw him looking at the god as well.
"Axel?" I questioned.
Zexion nodded his head towards the person I was looking at.
"His name is Axel." Zexion stated, looking at me closely.
"Oh." I murmured softly. So that was his name. Hmm.. Axel. I liked it. I rested my elbow on the the cafeteria table..laying my head on my hand. I watched as he waved his arms around as he talked, the muscles in them flexing slightly as he moved. Opposites attract huh? I wonder if me and Axel are opposites. As I kept admiring him, I found myself wishing that we were.
"He's one of the popular kids." Demyx said, his voice unusually quiet. "The kid he is talking to is Riku."
At that comment, Sora's head whipped around to look at the kid Demyx mentioned, smiling softly to himself as he looked at this 'Riku'.
I looked from Sora to the kid he was looking at, noticing he had a dreamy look in his eyes. I looked closely at Sora's expression. I wonder.. No, I thought to myself. Sora wouldn't go for someone like that..I didn't even think he was gay. Come to think of it, I didn't even know I was gay. But as I looked back at Axel, I knew without a doubt, that I had a crush on him.
