As he walked inside the school's main office building, no one even turned their head. They all saw Axel in there at least once a day, sometimes twice. It never fazed him. He just walked right in to the principal's office and plopped down in a chair, smirking. "What's up, Mr. X?" he said lazily.

"That's Mr. Xemnas to you," the principal said icily.

"Whatever," Axel said, grinning.

Mr. Xemnas interlace his fingers in a very professional way. "So would you like to tell me why you trashed Mr. Vexen's car?"

"Nope."

The gray-haired man frowned. "No?"

"Yes. No." Axel smirked.

"Well, too bad. Tell me anyway."

He raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to have a reason? It was fun."

Mr. Xemnas sighed. "I see. Well that's a problem. Your pranks are getting more and more out of hand!"

Axel leaned back in his chair, looking bored. "I see. Please go on!" he said sarcastically.

"Don't you use that tone! Didn't your father ever teach you manners?"

In an instant Axel was on his feet, his expression so vicious, the principal stopped in his tracks.

"Don't you dare talk to me about my father!" he shouted. "Don't you dare talk bad about him in front of me!"

There was a stunned silence, the only sound was Axel's heavy breathing as he struggled to contain his rage. His hands were balled up into tight fists. He was actually shaking with anger. The nerve! He had the nerve to bad-mouth his father right in front of him?

After a minute, he finally calmed down and took his seat again. "Just tell me my punishment already," he said quietly.

Mr. Xemnas looked at him strangely, but did as he was asked. "Since referrals and ISS never seem to work, we've decided on another form of punishment."

Axel slid down in his chair and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? Get to the point."

"We're going to make you babysit a new student. Literally and figuratively."

Axel's jaw dropped; all he could think to say was, "What the hell? Babysit?"

The principal frowned at Axel's bad language, but went on. "Yes, babysit. While in school, you are to make sure he knows where to go and what to do. And then you are to walk home with him and stick around until his parents come home at six o' clock."

"What am I supposed to do at some kid's house for four hours?" Axel complained.

Mr. Xemnas raised an eyebrow. "This is a punishment, not a reward. How about not destroying anything?"

"Fine, I'll do it." he grumbled.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Xemnas looked up as someone came in.

"Ah, yes, come in Roxas. I was just telling our friend Axel about you. He'll be in charge of showing you the ropes when you start here tomorrow."

"Oh, wonderful."

Surprised, Axel turned around. What a beautiful voice! And when he turned around he saw even more of beautiful. A sexy blond-haired boy stood there with an oh-so-cute scowl on his face. He had thin hips like a girl, and perfect tan skin. He looked like an angel. All Axel could do for a moment was stare. When he snapped his jaw shut again he offered a smile.

"Hey there!" he said with a devilish smirk.

The boy eyed him critically.

"Don't talk to me more than necessary. I hate guys like you."

What a great start to their relationship.
