A blond haired teen leaned in his chair, quietly chewing his gum, waiting for the bell to ring. Next to him a girl doodled profusely in her sketch book. The boy leaned over a little to try and peek at the drawing. Furrowing his forehead, he studied it. Two figures clad in black coats were standing near each other. One looked like him, he noticed. The other was a redhead, or so the red colored pencial said. The guy in the picture had wild hair, that seemed to defy gravity.
"Namine? What is this?" he asked, making the girl look up.
"I don't really know. I just had an urge to draw it. I don't know who the other guy is... but I know I drew you for some reason." She glanced down at the picutre as the door to the class room opened. A brown haired boy was quickly followed by a silver haired teen who was almost a head taller than the brunette.
"Roxas!" the brunette exclaimed, weaving through the desks to reach the blonde.
"Hey Sora..." replied Roxas, still rather preoccupied with looking down at the drawing. Who was the guy that stood beside him? Why did Namine even draw them like that? He tried to shrugg off the familiar feeling in his gut as Sora waved his hand in front of the blond's face. He looked up, confused. "What?"
"God, Roxas, you're so spacey all of a sudden. I just asked you how your weekend was," answered Sora stifly, giving Roxas a withering look.
"My weekend.. it was.. fine," he said bluntly as he picked up the sketch book since Namine had gotten up to find her pencil sharpener. Roxas absently flipped through the pages when he noticed a picture of him standing in front of a metal flower thing. He was about to ask the girl about it when she grabbed it out of his hands.
"Mr. Tokai is coming..."
The siler haired teen sighed as he left out the back door, waving to them before he disappeared around the corner. Sora continued to gaze at the shut door until the teacher walked in from the front door.
"Alright guys, time to settle down. Back to your seats and get your stuff out."
The black haired man set down his thickly stuffed bag on his desk at the front of the classroom. The students in the class scramled to their seats. After a moment of busy shuffling, everyone was sitting quietly with all their things ready on their desks for the first class of the day. Mr. Tokai took out a dry erase marker and wrote the schedual on the corner of the board in his neat, thick handwriting. He stopped suddenly as a knock echoed through the room. The door slid open with the principle of the school walking in nonchalontly.
"Hey guys," he said cooly, all eyes on him and his broad grin.
"Hello, Mr. Loire" rang through the room with a few 'Hey, Laguna!'. Laguna didn't seemed bothered by it in the least, though Mr. Tokai seemed a bit irritated by the formality. Roxas eyed the ever popular principle who still seemed like he was in his twenties when he was really somewhere in his fourties. Clearly, he had found something to make him constantly look young. Whatever worked, thought Roxas deftly. Laguna cleared his throat a little as Mr. Tokai crossed his arms.
"Happy November first, you guys. You made it through two months of school. Good job." A few people snickered. "Now on to business. You guys are fortunately enough to get another student to fill up an extra desk. He has transferred from Shadow High and moved to the neighborhood this weekend. So, be nice you guys 'cus I certainly don't want to see you in my office any time soon." Laguna rambled on, unaware that a few people in the back of the room were no longer paying any attention to him.
"I saw the new student this morning..." Sora said, turning his head so that Roxas could hear him. The brunette sat right in front of the blond boy.
"And...?" pressed Roxas.
"And I think it's a girl," replied Sora, rubbing the back of his neck a little.
"You.. think? What do you mean 'think'? Either it is or isn't."
"Well, they were wearing a coat and were turned away so I didn't see their hairstyle or their face, but they seemed kinda feminine," finished Sora. Roxas snorted. Sora was a horrible judge of gender unless things were pretty much said right to him or things were pretty much right in his face.
"Please welcome Axel Ochen." Sora snorted softly, oblivious to the expressions on Roxas' and Namine's faces. "What kind of name is Ax-" he paused once he had turned around a little to laugh with Roxas and saw his face. The blond boy's eye seemed to be twitching. "What the hell?" Sora said, one eyebrow raised higher than the other. That certainly wasn't a common expression. Namine silently handed Sora her sketchbook. He scanned the page quickly before returning it. "You probably just saw him somewhere and decided to draw his gravity defying hair-do."
"With me? And in cloaks?" Roxas looked at Sora disdainfully, wondering how he could answer that.
"It's just -" Laguna cleared his throught as Sora tried to answer.
"Thank you. Anyway, Axel what I said earlier was right, correct?" Laguna turned his head to the teen standing near the door. The redhead gave a bored nod, scanning the class. "Well then, take your pick for a seat and I'll be on my way."
Axel moved down the columns of desks, ignoring the open seats closer to the front of the room. Finally choosing a seat, he set his bag, which seemed to be covered in pins and a few thin chains with charms on them, by the legs of the table before sitting down in the seat, reclining a little. It seemed he chose the seat right next to Roxas. The blond boy peered at the redhead out of the corner of his eye. Axel noticed somehow and stuck his tongue out at him. Roxas scuffed slightly as the class finally began.
