We arrived to class just as the bell rang, Kairi left to find her desk while I approached the female teacher. Her short deep brown hair fell softly on her face, she had a subtle beauty and had a light air about her.
"Hello, I take it your Namine?" She asked kindly as I handed her the pink slip confirming her assumption. "I'm Miss Freedman. Class, we have a new student today." She announced turning her attention to the bulk of the students. "This is Namine Richards, please make her feel welcome. Namine, Please have a seat next to the window." My face flushed as she pointed to my seat. I hoped nobody noticed.
Miss Freedman returned her attention to the board as she began her lecture and I slowly made my way to my newly assigned seat. As I approached I stole small glances at the boy I was assigned to sit next to, the closer I got the more I felt my face heat, I shot a glance at Kairi, who gave me a huge smile and a thumbs up. The boy glanced up at my approach and gave a cute, awkward smile.
"Hi, you're Namine right?" The boy whispered as I sat down. I finally looked directly at his face. He was gorgeous; his blonde, somewhat spikey hair suited him well with his piercing blue eyes and ivory skin to boot. He could easily be a model, and he looked so good in uniform. "You're Kairi's friend? We met a couple summers ago."
"Roxas right?" I tried playing it cool. I knew his name, I thought he was the most beautiful boy I have ever met since the moment we locked eyes. "Yeah I know you're brother Sora a little." I scanned the next row over and spotted the boy I mentioned. Sora, his twin brother was equally as beautiful as Roxas, his brown hair and blue eye complexion would have any girl swooning and from the stories Kairi tell, both brothers often do just that, supposedly there were rumors of the younger students making secret fan clubs for the twins.
Kairi and Sora had been friends since the boys moved to this town sometime in grade school, so I spent a few summers with him as well. Kairi had always had a crush on Sora but never could admit it. Although I wish she would, their personalities complement each other nicely, each of them were so kind and funny. But she refuses to tell him, claiming it will ruin their friendship and she knows he doesn't like her like that, but I don't buy it. I think he secretly likes her too, and I secretly hoped they would end up together someday.
Roxas gave a slight nod. "Right, I'm sorry you know him." Roxas joked. "It's been a while since you've been here hasn't it?"
I nodded. The last time I was here was 3 years ago, not that I meant for it to be that long. "Um yeah, we met last time I was here." I tried saying calmly, hoping I didn't give anything away with my response. My heart was racing. He hadn't really acknowledged me when we first officially met. I had seen him in passing but he never really hung out with his brother, he mostly did his own thing. 3 years ago me, Kairi, Sora and a couple other people saw Roxas at the beach with a few of his friends. Our groups mingled that afternoon and we were introduced, when I gave him my name he nodded and gave his awkward smile, mumbled "nice to meet you" then kept his distance the rest of the afternoon. I was completely taken off guard by his interest in me now.
"I see; you left the next day right?" I looked at him in confusion. How did he know that? "I hung out with Sora and Kairi the next day and you were already gone. I was wondering if you were ever going to come back." He gave a nervous smile and I thought I started to notice his ears turning a little red. "Anyway, um you seem cool, let me know if you ever wanna hang out… or whatever." Roxas grew stiff and turned his body back forward, focusing all his attention on the teacher. I stole another glance at his direction, his ears were defiantly pink.
