Sorry if this pops up as a new chapter! i had the bit about the high-top stuck in my head not sounding right, and for good reason, completly different shoes! i thought it was a part on the converse... but they're just the same brand, silly me. anyways, the flame is supposed to be where the logo for converse is, but on the outside... i'll 'create my own' on their website n upload it to DeviantArt n link you (tomorrow 17th may-ish depending where you are lol). yep i'm using it as a quick dumping ground for pictures, i hate myself for turning it into the photobucket type thing people do, but i know how to use DA, and i really cba to set up an account with the others... anyway, onto the story if it's first time reading, if not... sorry for possibly getting your hopes up (read profile 'update' section for info on ... uh... updates...ehehe)

Kiss Me I'm Contagious – A Kingdom Hearts story. AkuRoku, SoRiku, Zemyx, etc.
Chapter 1: Ignorance.

Day 18, Thursday, 1:00pm

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life~

Trying to make friends is harder than I thought. I can't go up to random people and ask to join their group like Sora does; I just don't have that confidence.
Been listening to Paramore a lot recently, and their songs are a bit freaky with their accuracy of my situation, even if this only applies for the first verse of this song. I-

In the secluded corner away from prying eyes, a book slammed down on the table Roxas was occupying, making him look up with a death glare. As he locked eyes with the person, he realised he knew that bright shade of blue.
"What you doing cooped up in the library during lunch break? It's still sunny out." Sora asked his brother, tilting his head in a questioning type of motion.

Roxas calmly shut his Note book, took out his headphones, and placed them in his bag by his feet, noticing someone walking past with some pretty awesome converse, checkered white and black down the sides, with a flame just above the ankle. Clearly drawn on, but he supposed you'd only notice if you were as close to them as he had been.
Just as he was about to look up and get a look at the owner, Sora used that moment of his vulnerability to pull his hoodie over his head, blinding him for a minute as he sat up and pulled it off, glaring at his brother who was silently giggling behind his hands, which were clasped over his mouth in a bid to stop them from escaping.
Sighing, Roxas picked up his bag and hoisted it on his shoulder as he stood up, taking one last look at his 'older by 20 minutes' brother, and walking out of the library. As soon as the door shut behind the pair, Sora let out a laugh so loud, the library doors might as well have been open; every pair of eyes was looking towards the doors.

"Ahh, fresh summer air! Can't beat it!" Exclaimed Sora as he stretched his arms, then folded them behind his head, as if he were lying down.
Roxas rolled his eyes, and refrained from correcting him that it's actually the beginning of autumn, the leaves were starting to turn their fiery colours, but not yet falling to the ground.
"So why did you drag me out here again?" The blond asked, tapping his foot as he watched his brother scan the area, he then scanned it himself and spotted Sora's group of friends in the shade of a huge oak tree, and realised Sora was already halfway to them.
Once again rolling his eyes, he followed with a slow walk that said he clearly didn't want to be there, but his loving brother all but dragged him out to be with his brothers friends he didn't even know that well. Yippee.

Roxas sat on the edge of the group, enough to make it look like he was part of it, but far enough away that they didn't really notice his existence, making it easier to ignore them. That was until one of them directed a question at him, and everyone turned their eyes on him. Of course Roxas had both head phones in and was blasting songs out by Alesana, letting anyone within listening distance know he was not here willingly. And to also not disturb him. But alas, he opens his eyes and looks at the person who poked his arm with a 'what the hell you disturbing me for' look, only for it to dawn on him that everyone in Sora's group was looking at him.
"What?" came the hesitant question as he took out the tiny speakers.
"We were just asking if you was in for Kairi's house party this weekend, Rox, but I'll just drag you to it anyway, don't know why Kairi even tried being social and interact with you." Sora huffed as the bell rang, grabbing his bags and walking with his friend Riku.

Roxas, meanwhile, was left with Kairi, Naminé, and this guy she'd brought along who was almost as happy as Sora is. He had a blonde Mohawk, mullet type thing, going on. But it suited him, oddly enough. The back bit wasn't too long, still short enough to spike it up to match the top bit if one so choose. Or could be bothered to do.

"Hi! I'm Demyx!" said blond stuck his hand out in front of him for Roxas to shake. Instead he just stared at it, bewildered by the fact someone of his age would use a hand shake.
As if reading his thoughts, Demyx laughed and retracted his hand. "Oh yeah, I'm also a junior. And Naminé's older brother." He said the last part with a huge smile on his face, yet again making Roxas look at him in a fascinated manner. He seemed so proud to be her sibling. Though it might explain the greeting, Naminé has this aura of… weird about her, it seems only logical her family were the same.

"Uh, hi, I'm Roxas. But sorry guys, I gotta go…"
Forcing a smile, Roxas stood, dusted off his trousers and said his good-byes to the trio left, saying he'll be in the library, and if his brother asks, he's anywhere but there. But to also text, so he can run and hide. Which then made him realise they didn't have his number, so he gave it to Kairi seeing as she had most of the day off too. As Roxas was walking off, Kairi turned and gave Naminé his number, just in case she wasn't there, but also noticed Demyx has put it in his phone too.
"Demyx, why'd you add it to your phone?" Kairi asked, confused.

"I tend to have a lot of free time, it might come in handy if I bump into Sora when he's looking for Roxas."

"Or, the real reason is…" Naminé pushed, rolling here eyes at her brothers failed attempt at a lie.

"Okay fine! He's a fine piece of ass. And if I wasn't busy pining over someone else, I'd tap that. As it is, it might come in handy if I think of someone to pair him up with. Happy now?" Pouting, Demyx crossed his arms and looked away from the girls.

"Very, but isn't Roxas straight?" Kairi asked thoughtfully, trying to picture Roxas with a girlfriend, then a boyfriend.

"It seems that way. What about Sora? He seems a bit that way inclined." Naminé contemplated, rubbing at her chin in thought.
"Hang on, what about Riku? Didn't he go out with a guy before? What if he's set his sights on Sora!" Kairi countered.

"No, he only said that so it'd get the horde of girls to stop chasing after him, but after one of them stalked him for about a month, they realised it was just a lie. But then again, he did kiss one of his guy friends in front of them to maybe drive the point home he wasn't interested in them… oh I don't know." Kairi sat rubbing her temples.

"Well, one thing's for sure, I feel this year will be fun!" Naminé concluded, Kairi and Demyx nodding in agreement.

Reaching those swinging library doors, Roxas hoisted his bag higher on his shoulder as he pushed one door open, only for it to not budge. He peered through the glass to find a student he'd seen in there earlier putting his foot against it. Roxas knew why. "He's not with me, you can relax, I told his friends if he asked where I was they'd divert him from here and text me so I can leave before he disrupts you all. Again."

The student stepped back, allowing Roxas to enter, but not before giving him a stern look of disproval at the earlier disruption. Roxas just sent back an apologetic smile and made his way over to his secluded corner. Setting his bag down, he noticed someone walked right behind him and up the stairs, reminding him of those checkered converse with the flame drawn on. Wondering if the owner was still around, he picked his bag back up and climbed the stairs. After searching for about ten minutes he decided to give up. The back room was like a maze of book shelves.

Heading back towards the stairs he'd ascended, he noticed some window seats around the corner; they stuck out of the wall like a cut in half hexagon, windows on all three sides, two waist high book shelves on the angled walls and a rounded desk and chair on the flat wall, looking out onto the school grounds parking lot. With the sun in the position it was, it filtered through the windows, making the scene inviting. He noticed there was another further down and decided on that as it was more hidden from passer-bys, as the closest set of stairs were round a corner, and book shelves lined the overhang behind, so anyone looking up from the first floor would only see the back of a book shelf, even the half sized ones placed in between the 6ft ones to let as much natural light through as possible from the second floor.

Roxas decided this was his new place to hide from the world.

Keeping true to their word, Roxas received a text from Kairi an hour later, letting him know Sora was looking for him, and heading right his way, though they were stalling him for the time being. Roxas high-tailed it out the library, and took the long way round to the field, what better place to hide from his brother than with his group of friends?

Roxas made it in time to see Sora vanish through the side door, so he took his time walking up to the oak tree, enjoying the last rays of summer sunshine, it was already getting a slight chill on the breeze, he'll have to start wearing his jacket soon or he'll freeze.

"Hey!" Kairi shouted when Roxas was close enough, who responded with a lifted hand in greeting. "hope we didn't disturb you in the middle of something important, though Sora would have done that anyway…" Kairi trailed off, giving Roxas a small smile of apology.
"Nah, just researching photographers, it's all I can do in that lesson without a camera." Roxas sighed, he really needed a camera ASAP.
Sitting down next to Kairi, Roxas flipped open his messenger bags flap and put away the borrowed textbooks from the library he'd not been able to do with fear of Sora catching up to him. "Sora needs to learn I'm going to have lessons when he has breaks, and I'm not just going to skip them for him."

"Yeah, he'll learn, eventually, haha." laughed Naminé who'd just turned up, Demyx and some blue-haired emo kid following shortly behind.
"We can always have a word with him too, if you want." Demyx piped in, the blunett rolling his eyes.
"Look who's talking, you try drag me out of every lesson when you have a break. I'll have a word with him if you want." he said, leaving a gob smacked Demyx behind as he took a seat on Roxas' free side.
"But, Zex… I only wanna hang out with you" Demyx pouted, flopping down next to this 'Zex' person and crossed his arms over his chest.
"There are designated breaks for that. Suck it up." And that was the end of this guys talking for the day. Everyone apart from Roxas seemed surprised at it. Which is because everyone but Roxas knew he wasn't much of a talker, he "hn'd" every now and then, and you really had to annoy him for him to talk, but he didn't seem that irritated right now.

"Roxas! There you are!" Roxas' blood ran cold. He'd barely been sat down for five minutes and he'd already been found out. His plan of hiding amongst Sora's friends wasn't so well thought out. Sighing, he prepared himself to be tackled to the ground, but it never came. He looked around and found Riku with a sweatdrop on his forehead, holding the back of Sora's shirt, who still tried to run at Roxas. "Sora, pack it in already!" Riku said, the same time he yanked back on Sora's shirt, sending him tumbling backwards onto the floor at Riku's feet.

"You gotta give your brother some space, you know. You live together; surly that's torture enough for him." Riku said as he took the spot between Sora (who was still sprawled on the floor) and Roxas, giving him some protection.

"Aww… I guess so. I'm just happy, is all." Sora mumbled, taking in the silveretts words of living with Roxas being like torture.
"I'm not that bad to live with, am I Rox?" leaning around Riku to look at his brother, Roxas just shrugged his shoulders, "You can be a bit full on, you do need to learn personal space boundaries."
"oh, okay Rox, I'm sorry…" Sora stayed quiet for the next half hour, the group giving him worried glances every few minutes.

"Right, seeing as most of us are free to go home," Demyx stretched half way through speaking "I think it's time to call it a day. Lets go Zex, gotta meet up with the others so we best stop by the lockers first." Zex only sighed, and stood up, already walking ahead while Demyx stumbled to catch up.

"How are those two even friends?" Roxas asked Naminé.
"They've kind of grown up together, but when they'd left kindergarten, Zexion got sent to a different school 'cause his parents got a divorce and he went with his mum out of state. Demyx wasn't the same through elementary or middle school, if you can believe it, he wasn't very happy; it was like he was on auto pilot. You can imagine the stress this caused our parents for their son of 6 years to be depressed, but it soon passed, and Demyx was happily going along with life again, though he had his off days where he'd sometimes just sit surrounded by his toys and be staring into space.

But he did well in school, and when he moved onto high school, you can imagine his excitement when he finally found Zexion in his homeroom class. Demyx returned to how he used to be, and he hasn't let them be apart since, and I'm pretty sure that, even though he doesn't show it, Zexion is glad to have him back too." Naminé smiled at the memory of her brother dragging Zexion home to show his parents he was back, and they insisted he stay for dinner, now their parents automatically set a place for him, even given him the spare bedroom for whenever he stays too late to go home. Which is a lot.

"Wow, that's pretty awesome for them to find each other again." Roxas stared after the pair long gone through the doors, now that he thought about it; there was something deep-set when those two were together, like an unbreakable bond, buried under years of friendship.
"Hey Sora," said person looked towards his brother, a slightly sad expression on his face, "we've always had each others backs, and sure you can drive me crazy, but I don't know what I'd do without you, bro. you just really need to give me some space, you have plenty of new friends to do all that stuff to." Roxas grinned, while the remaining group, mainly Riku, shot Roxas a horrified look as this new piece of information washed over Sora, taking with it the depressed mood, only to replace it with a brilliant smile that could put the sun to shame with how bright it shone. Now everyone had to watch their backs in case a wild Sora decided to glomp them when they least expect it.

"You're totally right Roxas! It's not fair to everyone else that I'm only giving you hugs… Hey wait, Riku! Where you going? We walk the same way home you dummy! Wait up!" Roxas, Kairi and Naminé were all but rolling on the floor with laughter, poor Riku was Sora's new target, and he knew it. Even if Sora didn't yet.

I know,
I'm finding it hard to breathe,
And I've been drowning in my own sleep,
I feel a hate crashing over me...

Roxas struggled to breathe, he moved his arms and legs to try get to the surface but he didn't know what way was up, his vision started to go black and fuzzy around the edges.

So rescue me
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohhhhhh
So rescue me

As he sinks further into the water, he sees a blur of red swimming towards him before he gives into the darkness, but not before he feels a hand grab his wrist; it was like touching fire.

Roxas shot up in bed to find Sora grabbing both his wrists, with a worried expression on his face which calmed slightly when he noticed Roxas was awake.
"Thank god, Roxas, I've been trying to wake you up for 5 minutes, you were moaning in your sleep so I came in to make you stop n found you tangled in your covers, covered in sweat, and you looked like you couldn't breathe… I didn't know what to do, I tried shaking you, I even chucked a glass of water over you, but nothing! Then as soon as I grab your wrists to drag you out of bed, you jolt awake…" Sora trailed off, gasping for air.

"You can let go of my wrists now Sora, you're kinda crushing them." Roxas winced when his brother instantly let go, though he could still feel the burning and he wasn't sure if it was entirely to do with the death grip Sora had had on them, his right still felt on fire.

"So what was it you were dreaming of this time?" Sora asked as he sat on the edge of Roxas' bed, as Roxas pulled his knees up hugging them to his chest as he rested his chin on them.

"I was drowning." Was all Roxas said, his mind going a bit blank on the exact details, but refraining to tell Sora about the red blob that had grabbed hold of him.

"Oh… you're not going to be scared of swimming now are you? I was thinking of applying for the swim team and I don't want to do it alone." Sora pulled his best puppy dog eyes, despite knowing full well they don't work on his twin.

Sighing at his brother's obvious tactic of making him forget the dream, Roxas responded. "But what about that new friend of yours… Riku was it? Didn't you tell me he's already on the team you'll end up joining?"

"Oh… yeah …" Sora's plan doing down in flames, he decided to get back to bed seeing as Roxas was okay now, they had a few more hours before school and they planned on getting as much sleep in as possible. "Sleep well, Rox."

"Yeah, you too." Though Roxas knew he wasn't going to get back to sleep, he waited for his brother's door to click shut before he got out of bed and switched on his laptop; he might as well get some homework done.

Day 19, Friday, 5:30am

I settle down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well,
You would have never known

I feel like I've lied to Sora by not telling him about the person saving me, if it was a person. And if they really did save me. I just remember them grabbing hold of my wrist and the next thing I know, Sora is stood above me about to drag me off my own bed.
I really don't know what to make of these dreams. The only good thing to come out of them is they wake me up early in the morning and I manage to get any homework finished 'cause I'm not going back to sleep with the possibility of going back to them. The few times I have gone back to sleep I've just been in a black void of nothing.
Well, time to get ready for school – joy.

"I don't know why I bother sometimes…" Roxas whispered to himself as he shut his Notebook and tucked it behind his text books in his bag.

Stepping out his room half an hour later, dressed in much the same as the other day, just a fresh shirt that was black instead of white, he walked past his brothers room, knocking for him to get up. His brother's response? He assumed it was for Sora to look at his clock, see it was 6am, and shout profanities at Roxas about how it was an hour earlier than needed. That was the cleaned up version. Who knew that blazing ball of bouncing sunshine was a grumpy bastard if you woke him up earlier than needed. Though he really needed it. The time spent instead of sleeping will be put to waking up fully. Which can take an hour. So Roxas did it out of Sora's own interest. And not 'cause he found it hilarious to see the rare grumpy side of his brother. Honest.

So while their breakfast was cooking, Roxas set to work on both their lunches, simple ham sandwiches for Sora, along with a juicy red apple. It might not seem like much, but it was only a snack for first break, he had his own money for lunch.
As for Roxas, he made two lots of chicken mayo sandwiches, grabbed himself an apple, and a couple packets of crisps. Though not forgetting an ice pack to keep his food fresher for longer, anything to avoid the students at the school as much as possible.
Roxas was lucky the library allowed you to eat in there, not many schools would, but they had a firm belief that if you tried to stop students eating somewhere, they'll only try harder and make a mess in the process. So you could eat in the library, so long as you cleaned up after yourself and didn't ruin the books with mucky hands. And surprisingly, it hasn't happened yet since the head teacher took over five years ago. Not surprising, though, if you saw the Head Teacher. Literally, you take one glance and you instantly do not want to make him mad.

Stirred out of his thoughts by lazy steps coming down the stairs, Roxas finished putting his lunch box in his school bag, and waited for Sora to come into view. It was just after 7 when Sora rounded the corner to the kitchen, yawning and rubbing sleep out of one eye, he took one look at the plate of food waiting for him and he immediately jumped for it, wolfing it down without so much as a "morning" or a "thanks" in Roxas' direction.

Shaking his head, Roxas turned to his own breakfast, bacon and egg muffin. Yum. Nothing starts the day better than one of these.

Hearing a satisfied sigh behind him, Roxas turned to regard his brother while still munching on his food. Lifting his eyebrows in a "well?" expression, Sora grinned. "Thanks Roxas, for both waking me up early and for this delicious breakfast." Roxas continued to stare at him,
"What?" Roxas looked towards Sora's snack for later, only to find he'd also eaten that.

Rolling his eyes, he swallowed his food and was about to yell at Sora, but decided on a light scolding instead. "That food was for later you idiot. I'm not making you anything now, you can do that yourself."
"Eheh, sorry Rox, I was starving."
"You had three lots of bacon, two eggs, two sausages and two rounds of toast, how could you still be hungry?" Roxas stared at his twin, thinking if they were actually related. As twins go, they looked nothing alike. So they weren't from the one egg split in two, there was two eggs released at the same time, and two lucky sperms. Fraternal twins was the name for it. And they were technically just brothers who happen to be born at the same time.

And Roxas was glad, because he didn't have his brother's insane bursts of energy and lack of concentration at important times. He was his own person. Though he did envy Sora's ease of making new friends.

"Anyway, we'd best head off to school soon, so go finish getting ready and I'll make you something for you to snack on later. You owe me now, Sora." Roxas said with a smirk.

Sora gulped and scrambled up the stairs, a 'thanks' floating down as a dull thud was heard seconds later. No doubt Sora had run into the wall again. Shaking his head, Roxas made Sora the exact same as before. Just as he was putting everything away, Sora appeared by the counter, putting his food in his bag, before turning and heading towards the front door for his shoes, they always tried to set off around half 7, giving them plenty of time to get to school without rushing.

The walk to school was a long one, it took about 45 minutes, though with the sun warming everything up a bit, it was better than the winter weather to come, that was just going to be an effort to get up in the morning with the prospect of walking to school in rain, hail, snow, gale force winds or ice to slip up on. But Roxas pushed that to the back of his mind, focusing on the fresh air filling his lungs, the birds still singing, and the smell of fresh cut grass. Sometimes these walks to and from school were his favourite times of the day. And although Sora didn't seem to shut up for one second, wondering what today would bring, and on the way home he'd moan about the teachers n the homework they set, he still found it peaceful. Maybe because he could tune him out.

They arrived at school about ten past 8, school started at 9am, it gave them time to get to their lockers and put books and stuff in that they wouldn't need till later in the day. And getting here early means they'd miss the mad rush of people before class started.

After Sora had emptied everything but his food from his bag, he shut his locker and followed Roxas to his, a few feet down from his own. All Roxas did was place a couple heavy text books he'd need for last period in his locker. He kept all his homework and important things on him. These lockers were easy to get into if you were patient enough to try the combination till you heard each pin click into place. Or there was just brute force that some lockers showed signs of. But like the library and consuming food in there, lockers being destroyed to get to what's inside were very rarely done since the new Head Teacher arrived. It did still happen, though it was mostly new students forgetting their locker combination and too afraid to go to the Student Information Desk, SID for short, and ask as the Head Teachers office was right next to it. So they got one of the guys on the football team to open it for them. They only knew this because Sora had asked the biggest one on the football team to help him, who'd responded with "another one needs my help" and a sigh that said he clearly enjoyed showing off his superior strength. Luckily Roxas had it open by the time they got back, so Sora's locker remains unmarked.

"Alright, now that that's done, lets head off to the meeting place! I'll race ya!" and with that, Sora ran off, out the doors at the end of the corridor and skidded round the corner out of sight to the place they'd met his friends at yesterday. Roxas on the other hand, just walked at his usual pace, and as he neared the door, he saw a blur of silver as Riku ran past. He assumed he'd seen Sora and was going to tackle him, and that he had to see.
Running around the corner, Roxas could make out his brother was close to the tree, and Riku was a few feet behind, but catching up quickly, he couldn't tell if Sora had seen Riku closing in. He could only hope he hadn't.
Roxas made it half way before he slowed to a walk to watch Riku launch off and fly through the air, grabbing Sora around the waist, who yelped in surprise, and took him to the ground, rolling them, then pinning him down with a feline smirk. The cat had caught its prey.

Roxas could see from where he was that Sora was blushing. Though he'll blame it on him running, and Riku will believe him because he doesn't know Sora well enough yet. And sure enough as Roxas strolled up to the pair, Riku still pinning a blushing Sora down, hands above his head, and Riku leaning forwards a bit too much, still with that smirk on his face.
"Are you two gonna get up or you just gonna sit/lay there staring at each other?" and Roxas couldn't hide his own smirk, but to his surprise they didn't stop staring "Not till he blinks first!" came Sora's retort.
Looking around at the sound of voices and a door slamming shut, Roxas bent down and blew in Riku's eyes, causing him to blink and for Sora to win. Riku was closest, but he also got why when he heard them too. He got up off Sora and held out his hand for him to use to get up, but instead, Sora just crossed his legs and got comfortable, closing his eyes against the morning sun. Riku flopped down next to Sora's head, and Roxas sat against the trunk of the tree, behind Sora and just to the right of Riku, staring at the back of his head, trying to figure out something but not knowing what exactly. Roxas' gaze quickly shot forward when Riku turned just enough to lay an Aqua coloured eye on him.

"Hey Roxas! Nice of you to join us for once!" Kairi shouted when they were a few feet from the oak tree.
Roxas just lifted a hand to wave at everyone with her; Naminé, her older brother Demyx, a couple other people he'd seen with Sora before and trailing behind was the emo kid with blue hair, Zexion. Roxas thought he'd get on well with him given the previous days short introduction.

Everyone settled into their place; Kairi sat next to Riku, Naminé next to her, Demyx took Sora's other side along with zexion, while the other three, two boys and a girl, sat in front of them, making a circle, and with Sora lying down, it looked like Roxas was a part of it.

Sora blinked an eye open, and propped himself up on his elbows to look at the group, "for those who've not been properly introduced to my twin behind me," he jutted his head to indicate behind him, Roxas had his arms folded, and had an annoyed look on his face due to everyone staring at him, "this ray of sunshine is Roxas." That earned Sora a scowl from Roxas. Who missed it 'cause he had his back to him. "Roxas, you've met Kairi, Naminé and her brother Demyx, this is Demy's friend, Zexion, I'm sure you two will have a lot in common," Sora added, tilting his head back to smirk at Roxas, "moving on… this is Olette, Pence and Hayner." Sora finished, turning to look at his brother again so see if he got it.
"Uh, Hey." Was all Roxas could think to say, he didn't like the attention on him one bit. And he knew Sora was enjoying this.

More people drifted through the door, each going to a different spot and making their own circle, some taking over the few scattered bench-tables. You could see the different groups a mile off. You had the bitchy "I'm better than you" girl group who'd taken over the benches near the door so they were in the shade, and able to sneer at anyone going in or out the doors. You then had the jock group, footballers and wrestlers mixed in a testosterone pumped area, luckily they were far off on the other side of the field throwing a ball far enough that if aimed Roxas' way, he was sure it'd hit him. Then you had the super geeks, they'd taken shelter under another oak tree, not too far from us, that also had a bench-table, they all had their laptops out and were chatting amongst each other, laughing at something too smart for Roxas to get. Everyone else just sort of had their own group of normal-ish friends, they didn't stick out, they didn't try to.
(The geeks wouldn't try, but… they just can't help it xD)

Still having 20 minutes left till lessons started, everyone just chatted idly about their homework assignments, talking about their latest favourite band, and the girls were gossiping about something, Roxas just tuned them all out. Breathing in through his nose to calm him self and relax. He heard a crack of a branch next to him but didn't think much of it. Then he felt the presence of someone sat next to him, the feel of indifference rolling off them in waves. But the hint of curiosity was there under it all. Roxas turned his head to the left and saw the emo kid, Zexion, sat with his back to the tree, eyes closed; just how Roxas had been.
"Aww Zex, why you gotta always try sit away from me like you don't know me?" whined Demyx who was still sat where he was, just his upper half twisted to look at his friend. He wasn't even given a reply. "Ignored…" Roxas said in his head, or so he thought. Zexion coughed next to him, though Roxas thought he was trying to hide a smirk.
"Holy crap, Roxas, how'd you do that?" Demyx asked, mouth hanging open a bit.
"Do what?" Roxas looked at Demyx with a raised eyebrow, while looking back at Zexion who'd resumed his former position.
"You got a reaction out of Zexion! He hardly ever responds to my jokes." Demyx looked to Zexion.
"Maybe your jokes are just lame?" Roxas shrugged. He then turned towards Zexion and poked him in his side, who visibly flinched away.
"You did it again! I tried poking him n everything! How do you do it? Where did you do it!" Demyx was now on his knees in front of Roxas, clasping his hands in his own in a pleading way.
"I uh… I don't know… I just guessed…" or maybe it could be he just knew peoples weak spots. Along with knowing what they were feeling, he could pin point a weakness in their armour, he understood people better than himself sometimes.

"Leave him alone, Demyx." Came the lazy comment from Zexion, and even though it sounded light hearted, there was an underline of 'don't-you-dare-disobey-or-you'll-face-my-wrath' which made Demyx pale a little as he whipped around to face the group again. As dense as Demyx came across, he sure was smart on knowing when to stop pressing the issue. Or maybe just with a certain blue-haired emo kid.
Roxas studied them out the corner of his half closed eyes; Zexion remained sat against the oak tree, eyes closed and arms folded over his chest, while Demyx was telling some animated story, waving his arms about and almost shouting with the enthusiasm of his story-telling. Roxas still wondered how they ever became friends, they were complete opposites.
He must have been watching them for about ten minutes, because Sora sat up, stretched and stood, turning to block the morning sun from Roxas' face, drawing his attention to everyone getting up, dusting themselves off, and starting to move towards the school entrance.

Roxas noted most other groups stayed sat where they were, only a couple having the right idea to get to their classes before the bell to miss that mad rush of push and shove.

Shrugging his bag onto his shoulder, Roxas took his brothers offered hand to pull him up, then turned to see Demyx and Zexion not bothering to move. Seeming to catch Roxas' flicker of confusion, Demyx simply said they didn't have a lesson first, and that they'd hold the fort till break. The relaxed feel of the past half hour stuck with Roxas for the first couple lessons, and when first break rolled round for him, he happily made his way to the Oak tree. Pushing through the double doors to the back field, he quickly scanned the area, locating the tree easily but noticing no one was sat under it. His mood a little dampened, he still shuffled on over to it and took his mornings place, putting his headphones in and closing his eyes. After the first album rolled into the second, then the third, Roxas opening his eyes every couple songs to see if anyone was there, only to find that after two hours, no one had bothered to travel up to the Oak tree. It was about half way through 4th period, so Roxas decided to go to the library and claim his new spot in the window box.

While passing through the doors back into the school, Roxas idly noticed a small group of three or four people walking round the corner at the end of the corridor, all wearing identical black coats, all exactly the same length off the floor, despite their different heights. What caught his attention was a brief glimpse of fiery red hair, which caused Roxas to stop in his tracks, his heart beating too fast and making his vision swim before him. He barely registered Sora's friend Riku coming round the same corner, then running towards him shouting his name before everything went black.

A/N: Yeah, the library having lots of natural light wouldn't be good for books, but lets say the windows have a special filter on them to stop those harmful rays fading the books exposed okay? xD like schools would waste money on special tinted glass, well… they sure as hell wouldn't in the UK…

I also think I referred to Zexion as "emo kid" a bit too much…

The school lesson schedule sort of goes like 2 lessons in the morning, first break, another 2 lessons, lunch, and then another 2 lessons. But I'm thinking of maybe putting 3 lessons at the end, and having a break in between… so not every student will have all three lessons, some might only have the last one, others the first, so they'd leave to go home early etc. I suppose I'm trying to make it more like a college time table, where they're not constantly in a lesson like you are in a normal school. Though when I say normal, I'm going from my own experience in the UK, and the only info I got of any other schools out of the country are from films (really should research it on Google). And we all know how accurate those are (both films and Google...). So I'm gonna sort of make my own ideal system up based on what I know. (it really helps that I kept Planners with timetables in from school and college!)
oh, and Seniors normally only have one year at school like the rest, then go off to college, but I'm going to stick in a 6th form year-thing, think I might need it for everyone to still stay together a bit longer as the younger ones move on to being 17-18… don't know if other countries schools have that – they probably do – but if you don't know what it is, it's kind of like college, but you're still at the same school... though from my friends who've done 6th form, have found it pointless because the teachers aren't really qualified for anything above high school teaching. Just a way to get more money from the government over here. Hell, the beginning of my second year at college, my English teacher was a bit stressed because he was trying to find places for about 50 students trying to get out of 6th form and into a proper college with qualified teachers.

…but anyway, if you've still stuck around to read all this, thanks and sorry for time wasting, if you're still in high school, you should really look into things first, don't just go on what other people have said, as that's their opinion. It's like having a friend rant and rave about how awesome a film is *cough*DueDate*cough* only to be like… "Well… that was a load of *beep*" once you've watched it.

…um. Getting back to my point… I think having 3 lessons after lunch might only apply to juniors and above… not sure yet. Still planning out the different year groups/individuals (like Roxas/Sora/Axel etc) time tables so they'll all fit in better and easier to write a story if you know when who'll be in lessons and who won't be.
