Chapter 2: She Was More Then That to Me
Well here go to chapter 2, this chapter will be longer I hope lol
I couldn't see her eyes at first, she just kept her face down. Her short black was just long enough to cover it. She wore a Radiohead T-shirt that was slightly torn on the side, which indicated that it was very old. Her black pants made me feel the same way. She seemed sad. Kinda like me I suppose.
"This is Xion, please make her feel welcome" The teacher said with little emotion. "Is there anywhere she can sit?"
Sora giggled again. I became very angry when he blurted out: "Not here!" I saw what looked like a tear fall from her face. I stood up to say:
"Let her sit with me." Mr Vexen nodded. Xion quietly walked over and sat down next to me. The teacher went on to well teach? Not much else to say about that. Towards the end of the class she looked at me and just smiled for a brief moment then went back to looking at her textbook… Her face was void of imperfection. She had big beautiful blue eyes. It was my favorite color. When class ended Sora went right over to push her books off the desk, a classic asshole move in my opinion. I stepped in and grabbed his arm. He glared at me before leaving the room. Xion got up quickly, looked at me: "Thanks, I umm didn't expect anyone to notice me in a positive way let alone stick up for me."
"Aw shucks that guys a jerk so its my pleasure, anyway I'm Roxas" I blushed. Xion's face lit up with emotion. I guess she felt more comfortable, I mean she went from sulking to laughing in a brief moment.
"I'm Xion, so is this your first year to?"
"Yeah, I see you like Radiohead?"
"Of course, there my favorite band"
"Really?" " Me to there the best-"
My voice was cut off as second period's bell rang so we had to part ways. I told her to meet me outside after school. She agreed. I was going to take her for ice cream by the clock tower, the only good thing about the town. Axel and I went there when I moved here during the summer. I didn't do much else; you could say I was super lonely. Xion seemed the same way. But I had one friend; it didn't look like she had any. For some reason I felt a strong connection to her.
The rest of the day was rather plain; I went through all my classes left to right. The good thing about this school is that we only have 5 classes. But this means no lunch break. As I was leaving the school I saw Sora heading towards Xion's locker, he had a grin on his face. He had something bad planned; whatever it was I wasn't gonna let it happen. Since I was closer, without saying a word I walked over and grabbed her hand, leading her away before he tried to hurt her. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"Don't worry, I'll show you one of the only positive things about this place."
As we walked I realized Sora was going to be trouble.
I led her up the street towards the large clock tower the surrounded the entire town. I bought 2 bars of Sea Salt Ice Cream from the nice little old lady at the stand.
We took an elevator up to the top of the tower. We walked up onto the ledge. Xion held on to me out of fear. Her body was very tense, but why was she so scared? I blushed after a moment, I felt a little cool (girls never paid attention to me whatsoever). "Don't worry you won't fall just relax." I said in a comforting tone. We sat down to eat our ice cream.
She really liked. We talked about music, food, and movies. But whenever I brought up friends or family she would never really respond. That worried me a bit but I shrugged it off.
"The sunset is pretty" She spoke in a quiet voice. I think she was awestruck. This was the best place in the town. You could see everything.
"It really is."
"Roxas I have to say something." Her voice became serious.
"I've never really had friends, I don't know why but people just pass over me like I don't even exist. Maybe it's because I'm so shy" She paused then continued "all I seem to be is a target for bullies. You are one of the only people to be nice to me."
"Truth be told Xion besides Axel I never had to many friends either. But don't worry ill protect you."
I stood up as I spoke for some boneheaded reason. She stood right up with me.
"Well I'm glad" she laughed. Out of nowhere she gave me a hug clinging to my chest like a sloth to a branch. I reached around and held her for awhile. I could tell this meant a lot to her. But it also meant a lot to me, I think I have quite the crush.
Wow! Wait until I tell Axel
