Chapter Two
…Cafeteria…
Roxas led Sora to the table where he and his friends usually eat their lunch. Sora hesitated to join them at first but Roxas convinced Sora by telling him that his friends were as nice and fun as he is.
"Hey guys!" Roxas greeted cheerfully as he and Sora sat beside each other.
"Hey Roxas!" His friends said.
"So this is Sora." Xion, a short, black haired that reached only his neck, said "I'm Xion, nice to meet you."
"Likewise." Sora smiled. Xion smiled back. "This here is Kairi…" She said and placed a hand on the red haired girl beside her. "Hello." Kairi said sweetly. "And that one, over there beside her is Axel." Xion pointed the red head next to Kairi.
"Hey…" Axel waved his hand.
"Ehem!" Roxas faked coughed which made everyone look at him."I do believe that I was the one who's supposed to introduce Sora to everyone, Xion. Not you."
"Whoa take it easy there, Roxas." Axel smirked. "It's only the boy's first day and you've already claimed him as yours." Axel laughed.
"I do not!" Roxas blushed.
"Yeah? Then why are you blushing?" Axel raised a brow.
"No I'm not!" Roxas retorted as he tried to calm his face down. Everyone laughed.
"Sorry about that, Sora. I guess that's just we guys roll around here." A silver head boy said.
"By laughing at others?" Sora raised a brow.
"Well… it's not laughing at them. It's laughing with them." The silver head boy laughed. Sora laughed as well. "I'm Riku by the way."
"Nice to meet you." Sora smiled. Riku nodded.
"C'mon Roxas…" Axel said. "You know I was only joking."
"I know…" Roxas sighed. "But I don't want Sora to think of me badly just because I'm… like that."
"Don't worry, Rox…" Sora said. Rox? Where did that come from? Sora thought. "I'll still accept you whether you're gay or not. I mean, I don't judge people on what they are. As long as they are true to their selves and they have a big heart, then their fine by me."
"Thanks…" Roxas muttered. "But just so you know I'm Bi. Not gay."
Sora smirked. "Well in that case, I'm Bi too."
"Seriously?" Roxas eyes widened. Sora nodded.
"Tough luck, Xion." Axel said. "Looks like Sora wouldn't be available anymore."
"Why wouldn't I? I said I'm Bi. And Bi people likes male and female." Sora said.
"True…" Axel concluded. "But which do you like more? Boy or Girl?"
"Hmm… I say boys." Sora stated. "It's so much easier if a boys with you rather than a girl."
"Oh." Axel said. "Well Xion, I guess it's bye-bye Sora now, huh?"
"I don't need, Sora." Xion said. "And I don't mean it that way." Xion added and looked at Sora. Sora just nodded.
"That's right, Xion doesn't need nobody else, for Xion already have me." Riku said.
"You two are together?" Sora asked excitedly.
"Well… almost." Riku stated. "I'm still waiting for the blessings of Xion's parents. But once I already have them, it'll just be m, Xion,and bye-bye world." Riku wrapped his arm around Xion. Xion blushed. "Anyway… why don't you get excited for the two red-heads over there?"
Axel and Kairi blushed. Sora looked at them and said, "You two?"
Axel nodded. "That's great, guys!" Sora exclaimed. "I'm happy for you guys. I wish I could meet my match too and be just like you guys."
"Oh I'm sure you will." Axel said. "You just have to look to your side and— Ow!" Axel shouted as Roxas thumped his forehead, hard.
Sora chuckled. "Yeah, I'm sure I will."

Sora was outside the main gate, talking to his cellphone.
"So how was school?" Aerith said.
"It was great, mom." Sora said cheerfully. "Everyone was nice, my teachers were great and I even made a whole bunch of friends today."
"That's great sweetie."
"Thanks mom!"Sora smiled even though his mom can't see him.
"Hey Sora!" Sora turned around to the sound of his name and saw a familiar blonde with sky blue eyes running towards him. "I was wondering if… ooh… sorry…" Roxas said as he noticed that Sora was on the phone.
'It's okay' Sora mouthed. Roxas just smiled at him apologetically.
"Sora is that your friend?" Aerith asked.
"Yeah. He was my first buddy here in Twi High." Sora stated. " His name is Roxas."
"Roxas. He sounds nice."
"He is." Sora said cheerfully. "He's even nicer once you got to meet him."
"Well then I can't wait to meet him, Sora." Sora smiled as he heard the happiness in his mother's voice. "If you guys are planning to hang-out, then join them Sora. I wouldn't mind."
"Really?" Sora asked with a lot of excitement.
"Sure. Just call when to pick you up."
"No, I think I'll go home on my own this time, mom." Sora said.
"Alright dear. Just be careful okay? I love you."
"Love you too mom." Sora said and hung up the phone. He turned back to Roxas and said, "Weren't you going to say something, Roxas?"
"Oh yeah!" Roxas chuckled. "I was wondering if you wanted to come with me—with us to the ice cream store and get some Sea-Salt ice-creams."
"Sea-salt ice-cream?" Sora raised a brow.
"Yeah." Roxas said. "Don't tell me you haven't tried it before."
Sora blushed and shook his head. Roxas patted shoulder as if to tell him that there's nothing to be ashamed of and said, "Don't worry, that's why me and the gang decided to have some ice-cream today." Roxas smiled.
"Okay. Thank you, Roxas." Sora smiled. Roxas looked at Sora's eyes and blushed when he saw Sora's orbs glistening with happiness. Roxas looked away and said, "You're welcome."
Sora chuckled. He took Roxas's hand and said, "C'mon Rox. Let's go get this Sea-salt ice-creams you speak of." He grabbed onto Roxas's hand tight and began to run. Sora stopped at his track and looked back at Roxas. "To where exactly?"
Roxas shook his head and took the lead.
"Hey Guys!" Roxas waved at his friends as they reached the Ice-cream store.
"Hey!" Kairi and Xion said simultaneously.
"Listen Roxas…" Axel said. "Kairi and I can't stay long. We have a dinner reservations after this."
"That's okay. I only wanted Sora to know what Sea-salt ice-creams taste like." Roxas stated. "We wouldn't be long too." Roxas smiled. He looked at Riku and said, "I hope that's okay with you two?"
"Of course!" Riku assured. "Xion and I will just go somewhere romantic, right?" Riku winked at Xion. "R-right." Xion blushed.
After buying the sea-salt ice-creams, the gang went their separate ways. "Hey Sora…" Roxas said as he began to lick his ice-cream.
"Yes?" Sora asked.
"How come you're not eating your ice-cream yet?" Roxas asked as he licked his ice-cream again.
"Are you sure it's delicious?" Sora asked as he examined the ice-cream. Roxas nodded. "But of course you wouldn't know that 'til you try it." Roxas stated. "That's true." Sora said. He placed the ice-cream in front of his mouth and took a small lick of cream in his mouth. "It's too SALTY!" Sora shouted.
Roxas laughed. "Duh… That's why they call it sea-salt." Sora rolled his eyes and pouted. Roxas blushed. That's the first time he has ever seen that pout and to him, the was the cutest thing in the world. "Try it again, Sora." Roxas said.
Sora licked the ice-cream again and said, "So now it's sweet?" Roxas laughed but didn't say anything. "C'mon let's go." Roxas said and the two began to walk away from the ice-cream.
"Hey Sora…" Roxas said. Sora looked at Roxas, curiously. "Where exactly do you live anyway?"
"Hmm…" Sora removed the ice-cream from his mouth. He crossed his arms in front of chest and said, "I think it's in Station Square?" He brought one hand to his temple and began to rub it in circles. "No, I think it's in Sunset Height—Wait! It's in Station Heights!" Sora exclaimed.
"Really?" Roxas eyes widened. "That's where I live too!"
"No kidding!" Sora grinned.
"I'm not." Roxas said and Sora laughed.
"Then that means the movers in our streets were you!" Roxas said.
"Must be so." Sora laughed. Roxas laughed and said, "We better go then. Our moms will be so surprised once they found out that we already know each other."
"Yeah." Sora smiled. Roxas grabbed Sora's hand and led him towards his house. "Mom… I'm home!" Roxas shouted. He released Sora's hand and set his bag near their center table. "Hey Sweetie…" Tifa, Roxas's mom, said as she entered the living room wearing a black sleeveless and black short with a white apron.
"Hey mom…" Roxas smiled and kissed his mother's cheek. He looked at his mother's back and saw his friend hugging a brunette woman with pink dress, has her hair in a pony tail, and is wearing a white apron as well. Roxas assumed that this is Sora's mom so he smiled to himself.
"Originally, my plan was to introduce you to Sora…" Tifa said which made Roxas look at her. "But since you two already know each other, then my plan won't be necessary anymore." Tifa giggled. Roxas just smiled.
"Aerith…" Tifa said sweetly. "I'd like you to meet my Roxas." Aerith walked towards Roxas and said, "So you're the Roxas my son told me about. Nice to meet you then."
Roxas nodded."You too Mrs. Hikari." Aerith smiled. "And this is my Sora, Tifa." She said as she placed her hands on Sora's shoulder.
"Hello…" Tifa nodded at Sora.
"Hi…" Sora smiled.
"Roxas…" Tifa said.
"Yes mom?" Roxas asked.
"Why don't you take Sora to your room?" Tifa suggested. "Dinner will ready 20 minutes so until then why don't you show Sora some of your stuff."
"Okay." Roxas said. "C'mon Sora." Sora nodded and they both ran upstairs.
"Whoa! This is you're room!" Sora exclaimed.
"Mm-hmm." Roxas simply said and sat on his bed.
"Oh wow, you have a skateboard!" Sora ran towards Roxas's closet and took the skateboard beside it. "I have one too at home. It kinda looks like this, only it's in color blue."
"Sweet." Roxas said. "Maybe we could ride our skateboards tomorrow on our way to school."
"Yeah." Sora said and placed the skateboard back. Sora walked over to Roxas's computer table and gasped when he saw a guitar. "A guitar?" Sora looked at Roxas. "You play?" Roxas nodded. "Well then sing for me." Roxas blushed and shook his head, "Not now."
Sora pouted. "Fine. Kill joy." Roxas chuckled.
"Do you mind if sing?" Sora asked. Roxas shook his head. Sora grinned and began to strum the first notes of his song.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
"How was I?" Sora asked.
"Your awesome!" Roxas smiled. "We should sing together sometime."
"Alright!" Sora said cheerfully.
"Boys! Dinner!" They heard Tifa say.
"Coming mom!" Roxas shouted at the open door. "I'll race you, Sora." But when he looked back at the said boy, Sora was already gone, leaving the guitar resting on the bed.
"Sora!" Roxas groaned.
"Better hurry up slowpoke!" He heard Sora say so he ran towards the dinning room.
