Chapter Two; First Day of Detention
Science the next day was a bigger hell than the day before. Zexion seemed to be PMSing. I would say that was it, if he was a chick… but he's not. So I just didn't know what to think.
"No! How stupid are you? Don't touch anything!"
Okay, I can handle being yelled at but… only for so long, then I snap. Me and Axel had a lot of fights, they never did turn out that good.
"What the fuck is your problem?!" God, maybe he is a chick, just without boobs or a vagina, well, not that I could be sure of that. It is possible, isn't it?
"You."
"Fuck you, okay! I don't have to deal with this crap from you!" I fired back at Zexion as I got up to confront our stupid ass science teacher for putting me with him.
"Sorry, but I'm not switching partners for the rest of the semester. You'll just have to work out your problems together."
"How can we work them out together when he doesn't even listen to me?"
"You'll just have to deal with it then."
As I trudged back to my seat, silently cursing out the teacher, I saw Zexion shoot me a self-satisfied smirk.
"I knew he wouldn't let you switch."
I glared at the little bastard and without thinking growled, "I… I wish you'd just succeeded in killing yourself!"
But, you know that feeling where you just want to shove your foot in your mouth? Yeah. That was me.
Franticly trying to cover my outburst, I started to babble an apology. "Oh my God! Oh my God! I am so sorry! I didn't mean it! I swear I-"
Before I could even finish my sentence Zexion let out a sigh.
"For what? Saying what everyone hasn't had the courage to?"
"No… no that not true! I mean, you got lots of friends… Like, uh, well I don't know any at the moment but…"
"Friends like who?"
"Uh, uh." I stammered. "Just, I take it back okay! I was angry and that's all. I didn't mean it! I'm sorry… Oh, uh, I know! There's Yuffie! She's friends with everyone!"
"I hate Yuffie. Too much energy."
I had to laugh, "Aint that the truth- wait! No! She's my best friend, I love her A.D.D.!" I covered quickly. If Yuffie ever, ever, found out what I said, no matter how small a thing, she'd tell everyone about that time on New Years. I mean, it was a God sent she hadn't already blabbed her mouth, but she had said she wouldn't tell anyone unless she had to.
"It's fine. I feel the same about Demyx." Zexion said.
Demyx. He ruined my relationship, the only good one I had. Was it fair to hate the guy without even knowing him? I'd say it was pretty fair.
"So, you and Demyx are… friends?" This would explain why he knew all about my break-up.
"Yeah, he's basically my close- Uh, yeah we are."
"Oh… well see, uh, he's there for you. R-right?" Um, awkward. Awkward! I did not do good with awkward. I mean New Years was bad….
"Sure, sometimes. Anyways, we should really get back to work. I have a 4.0 and I am not going to lose it because of you, got it?!"
"Y-yeah, I-I got it." So much for the friendly conversation.
After class I walked into the hall to see Rikku and Riku in a full-blown verbal fight… er, Rikku was screaming at Riku, if you want to put it simply. But she was screaming loud enough she could wake the dead.
"I had this name first! And to think, I have to share it with a boy!" Rikku screeched.
"I didn't NAME myself!" Riku shot back, starting to get irritated.
Oh, this was a damn near gold argument. Everyone had known it was going to happen eventually due to Rikku's constant rants, but finally seeing it was simply hilarious. I even leaned up against my locker to watch.
"Just get a nickname or something! This is mine, and mine alone! I'm so sick of people coming up to me thinking I'm you! I mean can you say EW! Gross-o! Get your own friggin' name and stop jacking mine!"
"God, it isn't my fault! And what the hell am I supposed to be called then, hmmm?"
"Hey Riri!" Sora called cheerfully, coming up behind Riku to meet him after class as their ritual. 'Riri' happened to be Sora's nickname for Riku from back when they were young. Sora was the only one who could pull off calling him that without getting a fist in the face.
"That works just fine… Riri." Rikku mocked, thrilled to have her name back. "From now on out!"
I couldn't help but feel sorry for poor Riku. Soon enough that name would be spread all over the school with the help of Rikku and, of course, our dear gossip queen, Yuffie.
After the fight finally ended, I began to head towards my next class. Passing time was about over and I still had to get to the other side of school, I didn't really have the time to keep loitering. That is why the made passing time so short, so you would get straight to class. Only another reason to dislike school.
Not really paying attention, I bumped into someone and dropped all my books on the floor. Go fucking figure.
"Oh sorry, I wasn't paying atten-"
"No problem, I wasn't either. Here let me help you with your books." The blond, mullet haired, boy I had bumped into leaned down and grabbed the books I dropped on the floor and handed them back to me.
"Thanks…"
"Hey, I said no problem. It's okay. By the way, my names Demyx. It's nice to meet you." He said with a warm smile.
Oh. My. God. So this was him? But why is he so… so nice? I didn't know what to do.
"Uh, R-roxas." I stuttered.
In one way I wanted to throw rabies on him! But on the other hand, he was just so nice!
"Oh! Axel's told me about you!"
There was still a smile on his face.
"Oh… uh… what did he say?" I was gonna weasel that information out of him and I was gonna weasel it out good.
"This and that, you know."
No, I didn't know, that's why I asked. But before I could say anything more the bell rang and Demyx started running down the hall.
"See ya later!"
"Wait, no! Come back here! Stop running! Tell me what he said." No, I wasn't desperate. I was just… just not desperate… that's I was not. Curious, heh heh, yeah. I was just curious, not desperate. Curious…
"Get to class!" a teacher yelled from the door of his classroom across the hall, which successfully made me jump.
So much for weaseling it out.
"Look who finally wants to join us. Hello there Mr. Leonhart, glad you could make it to class. And, lookie here, you're only," he stopped to look at the clock, "two minutes and forty-seven seconds late."
Vexen wasn't happy. He completely hated students to be late to his class, even if it's only by a second, no joke.
"I think an hour of detention after school should help to teach you to show up on time, don't you?"
"Yes sir."
I walked from the door way to my seat and listened to the rest of the lecture, even taking a few notes here and there to show I paid attention, at least a little bit.
Why do we even have to learn history? Not like it's important. See, if I didn't have to learn it, I wouldn't have had to deal with Vexen and his stupid detentions.
Damn, I hated detention.
As if detention wasn't bad enough, I had the pleasure of being in it with the one person I would never want to be stuck in a room with, well, at least now that we broke up. I guess it wouldn't have mattered too much if we were still together. Axel.
I should've known. He always got detention.
Basically, I now had a reason to hate life.
"Roxas? In detention? Never thought I'd see the day." Larxene cackled from her seat in the back of the room. The teacher supervising detention shot her a look.
I made sure my seat was far enough away from everyone, especially Axel, so that even if we could talk, we couldn't.
The teacher, who must have been a senior or maybe junior teacher because I had never seen him ever, stood up from his seat in the front of the class and began to scribble the letters to spell detention on the white board behind him. Seconds later he picked up a white sheet from his desk.
"When I call your name, I want you to tell me why you are here." After his announcement he read the first name on the sheet. "Princely Beast."
The boy, who I assumed was Princely, replied the he was in for cursing out his math teacher and threatening to beat another kid with a wooden ruler.
"Larxene Fitch."
"Ha ha, kicked the shit out of this blond freshman. Her fault, you know. I mean, that's what she gets for flirting with my man. I aint just going to sit back and let it happen, cause-"
"That's enough Miss Fitch," he cut her off. "How about… Alice Iwonder?"
The girl shrugged. "Fell asleep during class."
Then I came up. I considered lying to make myself look better, but decided against it. Why lie?
"I was two minutes and forty-seven seconds late to class." Almost as pathetic as falling asleep.
"Lastly, Axel Yemen." The teacher said with a sigh and continued un-amused, "What did you do this time, Axel?"
"Set the chemistry lab on fire." He said with a smirk. "One little spark and they act like its some huge deal. It was pretty awesome though."
"Wow, again, Ax? Get more original next time, babes." Larxene shouted out.
The teacher look annoyed. "Okay, shut it. You are in detention and for the next hour you can not speak. Atall! Think of it more as a… study hall. And that means do your homework. Your hour starts," he paused and looked at the clock, "now."
About five minutes into detention my phone started to vibrate, over and over and over again.
Fuck, I forgotten to tell Yuffie. She was going to kill me.
I began to text a message to her when the teacher started to walk around the classroom.
"I'll be taking that Mr. Leonhart."
Everyone turned to look at me.
Fuck.
I tried to hide the embarrassment on my face, by laying my head face down on my desk.
This was going to be a long hour.
I really hated school.
After detention I was allowed to have my phone back, with warning of course, and endured the painful screeching message. Yuffie basically yelled about how she wouldn't wait any longer and that I would have to find my own way home for ditching her. Crap. That only meant one thing; I had to walk home.
It had gotten kinda late to be walking after school. But oh well. I started the three mile trudge home.
I was reminded of how much I hated walking, it started to rain.
Through my headphones I started to hear a muffled sound, which started to resemble my name. I looked up and to the right me was Axel in his old warn truck, the window rolled down.
"Roxas. Roxas do you want a ride home?"
"No, I'm fine. Uh… thanks anyways."
"Roxas, just get in the car." Persistent much?
"No really, I'm good, Axel."
"You live three miles from here!"
"I'm fine. It's not that long a-a walk"
Axel was never this persistent, just why in the world would he want to give me a ride anyways? What the hell was going on?
Axel lost his patience and began to get irritated with me, "Just get into the fucking car, Roxas." He shouted. Soon after, he let out a sigh with hopes of re-control his anger. Something he was never very good at. "I wanna talk to you anyways."
"Uh…" I stuttered as I tried to think of what to say next.
I never thought though, that my savior would come in the form of Zexion.
He'd seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in his expensive sports car. Why did he have an expensive car anyways? Didn't his parents hate him or something?
"Roxas! Come on, we have to work on our science project, remember? I'm still not going to get an F because of you. So, come on."
Axel or Zexion? Which one did I hate… less?
I got in the car with Zexion.
"Sorry, Ax, we really do have to work on that science project. Heh, heh, heh. We'll talk later, kay?" I was a horrible liar, but whatever. My lie had seemed to work well enough as Axel rolled up his window and drove out of sight.
Zexion's car smelled… nice. It really did, maybe just the props of those nice expensive cars… or something.
Zexion hit the acceleration and we began to drive down the road.
It was silent for the first few seconds, which felt more like hours, as I soaked in what just happened.
Everything had happened too fast, then… then he said the unexpected. The unexpected meaning something I would never have thought I would hear from Zexion, ever!
Kuri; Ha ha! Cliffhanger. Sucks 4u, we know what happens! 3
Kitii; And guess what, guess what! It involves the destruction of the world! Just kidding. That doesn't happen till chapter four.
Kuri; I thought that was in the fifth…
Kitii; Silly gurl, that's when they get eaten by aliums!
Kuri; Tune in next time!
