Ch 2

On the way down, we listened to CaramellDansen. Demyx, as always, supplied the music. I couldn't complain… He had good taste in music! Demyx had shotgun, like always. Xigbar was up front, of course. He drove us everywhere. Amy and I were in the back, but we had to pick up Luxord. As we pulled up to his house, we saw him cheerfully walking out of his house, his mom yelling at him to "Do better this year! Or else!" He just smiled and flipped her the bird. "Yo, Luxord! When are you going to realize that's not a good idea?" I shouted out the open window. He just laughed, got in the back, and said, "LET'S BLOW THIS JOINT!" Xigbar's response? Flooring the car! Needless to say, we got to the coffee shop in record time. Just like always, Saix was waiting outside. We all tramped out of the car, and walked up to him. "Buddy, new glasses?" Xigbar noticed Saix's thick plastic frames, rather then his old wire ones. "I'm sick of them breaking" He replied, pushing them back up his nose when they slipped. Honestly, I don't know how Saix and Luxord can hang out anymore. Luxord used to make fun of Saix all the time. Well, so did everyone. But Luxord was the worst. He used to snap Saix's glasses in half, especially in elementary school. I guess if it wasn't for me and Saix becoming friends, he would still be bullied by Luxord. "Are the others in there? I haven't seen anyone for weeks! I was grounded!" Luxord interrupted my thoughts. "Yeah, I guess. I didn't want to sit with all girls…" "AWESOME! 12 PEOPLE!" Demyx ran in, excited to see everyone. We all followed him, if only a little less enthusiastically. I saw Kenzi, Evie, Rika, Bekka, and Steph all drinking coffee and eating. We all ordered drinks (I got a Chai Tea Latte) and sat down with them. We all started talking about school, comparing schedules and whatnot. My schedule was almost all honors and AP classes, so I wasn't with anyone for most of my classes except for Saix. We all had the same lunch though, which was a definite plus. We were all laughing when two people walked in that I didn't recognize. The girl looked pretty nice, with her cut-off jean Bermuda shorts and Pokémon shirt. Her hair was really a pretty brown, and she had glasses and a pretty face with almost no makeup. The boy though, he seemed scary. His black pants were covered with chains. He wore a tight black t-shirt that said "KORN", whatever that was. His hoodie was big and black, which said "Slipknot". Once again, no idea what it meant. He had cigarettes hanging out of his pocket, even though he was clearly a school kid. His messenger bag was covered in spikes and patches, and he wore dirty, ripped up vans. His hair… It was bright, fiery red. And up in what looked like liberty spikes, but falling back from weight. I couldn't stop staring… He seemed dangerous. He turned and looked around, and I gasped. His eyes were bright emerald green, and gorgeous. They were heavily lined with black eyeliner, and he had two black triangles on his cheeks under his eyes. "Roxas, remember that guy and girl I told you about? That's them." Xigbar whispered under his breath. I could see what he meant about the guy being scary, and bad news. But I couldn't get his eyes out of my head. They were breath taking! I couldn't finish my drink, but eventually everyone else finished. We all walked up to the school together, with everyone talking and laughing, except me. And Kenzi was the only one who noticed. "Look, you were the first one to be nice to Saix. So since he's my brother, I wanna do something for you. But I don't know what. I can't help you without you telling me, so what's wrong?" I just shook my head, but she kept pestering me. "Fine… I keep thinking about that scary guy that walked into the coffee shop this morning." Kenzi looked at me like I was crazy. Apparently, she didn't see him. Oh well. By then we had gotten to the school. We all ran in, leaving Xigbar and Demyx alone to make out before they were parted for a day. "I can't remember a day they weren't together this summer…" Demyx's sister, Rika, said. Demyx came in a minute later, blushing, but smiling like a crazy person. "See you guys at lunch!!!" He ran to homeroom, leaving the rest of us to do the same. Since Saix and I had the same first period AP English, we had homeroom together too. We went into the same class we had last year, where our teacher never told us his last name. He insisted we call him by his first name, Xemnas, in order to be our friend. He was actually pretty cool for a teacher, but could be really strict. Good thing he liked our class. "Wonder what we'll read this year!" Saix was really excited for school. I shrugged, still distracted by the wonder I saw earlier. Just then, our teacher walked in. "Hey all, shut up and sit your asses down in your seats." Saix and I shared a private laugh as everyone new to his class looked shocked at his language. "For all of you who've never had me, I'm Xemnas. I don't want you calling me by my last name, so first name basis for all of us. I'll learn from you, you learn from me, we have a giant learning circle and by god you will pay attention and follow rules or you WILL be in the office." He grinned. "But honestly, let's have fu…" Xemnas' words were interrupted by someone slamming the door open, making everyone jump, and I couldn't help but gasp. The guy that walked in was the same one in the coffee shop! "And who, may I ask, are you?" Xemnas glared at the interrupter. "New kid. Axel's my name. Got it memorized?" He spoke with a truly sarcastic tone, and slunk to the only empty seat… To the right of my. Saix, on my left, leaned over and whispered, "Gosh, he's scary… Good luck…" I nodded, silent, afraid my voice would give me away. Even though I knew I shouldn't, I wanted to talk to Axel. I didn't pay attention all through the rest of class. Granted, all Xemnas was doing was explaining class rules, but normally… I'd pay attention! The rest of the day flew by, with most classes being hard to pay attention to. Saix and Axel sat on either side of me all day, making it impossible to concentrate. Finally, it was the end of the day. I met up with Demyx and Amy; we were going to go shopping with Xigbar. His black jaguar flew into the parking lot, and we ran to him, excited to go. We had to stop when a piece of paper on fire flew past us and his Xig's car! We turned around to see Axel, with a lighter and a notebook out. Xigbar got out of his car, enraged. He loved it as much as Demyx. When he saw who had hit his car, his eyes widened, and Axel smirked. "Guys, get in the car…" We got in, while Xigbar slowly backed to it and got in. As soon as he had the key in the ignition, he floored it!
