Lunchtime had finally swung around and Roxas couldn't have been more relieved. He had felt like an outcast in most of his periods before this, excluding homeroom. Axel and he had surprisingly gotten along very well.

Roxas had managed to find his way to the Cafeteria, with the help of various students. He still needed to get down where everything was located around here; he had looked like a kid who just lost his parents in a store. He scanned the lunchroom, searching for Xion. He spotted her at table 3, chatting with Larxene. Roxas dashed down the aisle way, trying not to hit anyone on the way down. He plopped down in the seat to the opposite side of her, sighing with relief. The black haired girl turned around to face him. She laughed faintly. "Hard time finding the Café?" Roxas nodded, slinging his backpack around to rest on his lap. He unzipped the top compartment, pulling out a Special K bar. "Want one?" The blonde asked. Xion shook her head and Roxas closed his backpack, throwing it under the table. He took a bite out of the chocolaty health bar.

Roxas couldn't help but look around for Axel. He found the red head seated at table 1, sitting with the same teen he had seen him chatting with on the bus that morning. Roxas started to stare at the red head absentmindedly, not hearing Marluxia's greeting. Roxas heard a thud in front of him. He jerked his head down to see what had made the noise, seeing a thick book in front of him. The blonde looked up to see Zexion giving him a un amused stare. "Stop gaping at Axel, idiot. We've got to go get our food," The slate haired teen snapped, motioning towards the lunch line. Roxas shook his head. "I don't eat school lunch," Zexion just scoffed and got up, traipsing over to the never ending line.

Roxas switched his eyes back to table 1, but noticed Axel was gone. He sighed and took another bite out of his Special K bar. Suddenly, Roxas felt someone take a seat next to him. He didn't turn around, assuming it to be Xion. He almost jumped out of his skin when the teen spoke. "Hey," Roxas whipped around, seeing Axel sitting coolly next to him. "Oh, it's you," Roxas snorted, turning his head back around to stare calmly across the room. Axel chuckled. "So, what are you doing over here?" Roxas asked, not turning around. Axel shrugged, running a hand through his fiery red locks. "I dunno, just bored." Axel replied. Roxas finally turned around to face him. He stared at the teen for a few seconds, then to the ground, and back to him again. "Why don't you have many friends?" The blonde finally asked.

Axel blinked, a bit taken aback. No one usually questioned his lack of allies. The red head rubbed the back of his head, laughing. "Heh, I don't know. No one gets me, I guess," Roxas nodded. "I know how you feel," He said sympathetically. "I'm not exactly a 'social butterfly' myself." The blonde exclaimed, chuckling.

"Ugh, why's he here?" Roxas heard Xion's nasty retort from behind him. He whipped around to face the black haired girl. Xion was eyeing Axel with a stare cold as ice. Roxas tried to tell her off, waving his hand across his neck frantically. With a 'hmph', she took a seat with her tray, putting her back to Roxas. The blonde blinked and turned back to Axel. The red head had a distraught look in his eyes. "Sorry, she doesn't exactly…like you," Roxas said, trying to be quiet. Axel shrugged, smiling apologetically. "No, it's fine, not a lot of the people here like me," Axel said, his eyes focusing on the floor. "They all think I'm too stuck up. That's probably another reason I lack friends." He said. Roxas didn't say anything. He couldn't help but feel bad for Axel. I wish I could be his friend…

The two just sat in awkward silence until the 5th period bell rang. Roxas got up, throwing his backpack over his shoulder. He glanced over at Xion. The blue eyed girl was obviously still ignoring him, since she had already left with Zexion and Demyx. Roxas sighed, giving Axel a blank expression. The red head chuckled, offering to walk to class with the boy. Roxas didn't deny the teen of doing this for him, he liked being around Axel. The pair traveled down the aisle way, disposing of their trash next to the door.

"So, you're new, right?" Axel asked after the two got out of the lunchroom. The blonde nodded. "Yeah, the teachers had been talking about you last semester," Axel stated. Roxas blinked, turning around to the red head. "Really? How'd they know me?"

"Your grades," Axel replied. "They said you were an amazing writer." He said, switching his eyes to stare down at his feet. Roxas didn't say anything. The boys finally reached Roxas's classroom. Axel and Roxas exchanged a glance, paying their goodbyes to each other. As the blonde opened the door, a paper airplane hit his head. He frowned, sitting down in his seat next to Demyx. The musician gave him a confused glare, squinting his aqua blue eyes. "Why were you hanging with Axel? He's a jerk wad!" Demyx exclaimed. Roxas gave the teen an icy stare. "No he's not," He replied. "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, as the motto goes." Roxas said. Demyx rolled his eyes, sighing in frustration, but didn't say anything else.

The dismissal bell finally rung and the whole of band class poured out into the courtyard. Roxas was so relieved to get out of school. Thank God that day is over with, He thought. Shit…I forgot about Xion on the bus though…. The blonde grabbed his drumsticks and shoved them into his backpack. "See ya tomorrow, Ms. Aoi!" Roxas said, waving a hand towards the short haired woman. She waved back in reply, smiling sweetly. "Goodbye Roxas! Have a nice day!"

Roxas exited the band room, making his way down to his bus. "Hey, Roxas!" The blonde turned around as he heard someone call his name, seeing those signature red locks darting towards him. Axel slowed his pace as he caught up to the boy, rubbing the back of his neck. "Heh, hey Axel," Roxas replied. "How was your first day?" Axel asked, his emerald eyes shining. Roxas shrugged. "Eh, it was okay. How about yours?" Roxas exclaimed, turning his head slightly to see him. Axel sighed. "Same as usual," He said. Roxas nodded slightly. The two finally reached the bus, taking a seat somewhere in the middle. Roxas decided to sit next to Axel since Xion was being a major bitch to him.

Roxas set his backpack down beside him, then looked up at Axel. The teen was staring out the window, his green eyes looking full of sorrow. Roxas blinked. "Hey, uh…Axel?" The blonde muttered. Axel moved his head to face the boy, giving him a look of interest. "Hmm?" Roxas shook his head. "Never mind."
