Lost: Welcome back to FYE!

Axel: You're a weirdo

Lost: Yea? Well you're not real.

Axel: …

*maniacal laughter*

Lost: Ha, anyway this is chapter 2! I was thinking about having every other chapter being about Axel and Roxas and the other two couples but I think I'll just keep everyone together unless there was something really epic that I had to space out.

Roxas: Lost doesn't own any of us or the final fantasy characters!

Chapter 2: Badass

Roxas

I glanced at the clock. Oh great, time for school. I painfully got up and yawned. I hate school, I hate waking up early, and I hate annoying alarm clocks. I sighed and put on my comfy clothes.

I looked in the mirror so I didn't look stupid. I looked myself up and down. I looked a little scruffy but I don't think anyone would mind. I swear I saw a red haired guy standing right behind me. I quickly turned around and nothing was there.

"Axel…"

I can't be in love with him. I don't want to be in love with him. I shouldn't be in love with him. I…I don't want this to happen again! Please Axel, please be a good person. I hope what I saw at the park was Axel not some fake person.

No, Axel is a good person. He won't hurt me. I hope he won't hurt me. This is the first time I fell in love with someone in three years, three long…painful years. It used to hurt me to get up in the morning. I used to want to die.

I attempted suicide five times just because of….that guy. That idiotic, asshole, jackass of a person, I hope he goes and dies! Go and die in some sort of freak accident and no one will feel sorry, no one will know, no one shall know.

I shook my head. The past was behind me now. This is a new town, a new school, a new life. I want to start it out right this time. I don't want any problems. I don't want any love handles. Yeah, I do not like Axel at all. He's only a friend. He's only a friend. He's only a friend. He's only a friend.

"He's only a friend." I repeated. I wanted it burned in my mind. Nothing is going to stop me from having a good school year.

I opened my door and slung my backpack over my back and walked downstairs. Demyx was cheerfully eating some pancakes as my mom washed some dishes. I leaned against the red wall and sighed.

"Something wrong, Roxas?" Demyx asked between bites.

I shook my head. I didn't want anyone worrying about me. "I'm fine, just tired."

Demyx smiled and continued eating. My mom on the other hand stopped washing and turned around. She looked me up and down and turned back around. Shit, I think she found out I lied.

"Demyx," I said. "Time for school,"

Demyx hopped up and cheered. "I'll be able to see Zexion again!"

I smiled at him. Demyx was lucky. He didn't have a care in the world. He actually gets to live, unlike me. I glanced at my mom who was staring at me again. I quickly turned away and started walking towards the door.

"Uh, bye mom," I said and hurried out the door.

I waited for Demyx to catch up and he asked, "So, what about Axel?"

"What about him?" I asked fidgety.

"Did you decide whether you like him or not?"

"You know about three years ago." I snapped.

"So? Why the hell does that matter?" Demyx rarely curses.

"It's hard for—"

"Don't give me that victim stuff again, Roxas!" The incident is a touchy subject for him even though it happened to me. "That was in the past. You can't just keep weighing yourself down like that."

"I know! It's just that Axel is so…and I'm so…" I trailed off.

"You've been around a lot of guys the past three years and you haven't said you liked any of them. Why does Axel have to be the same?"

I looked away. He was right. Axel was different that those other guys. I need to let go of the past but it's so hard. I just want to crawl in a ditch and die. Why did Demyx have to be so nice? If he wasn't nice I'd kick him to the dirt even if he was my big brother.

"Zexion," I changed the subject and I think it worked because once I said Zexion Demyx smiled. "How is he?"

"He's smart, he doesn't get angry at me when I don't get things, he's nice, and he's hot." Demyx blushed.

"Nice," I high fived my mind for such a nice subject change. "You must be happy."

"Yup,"

We finally reached Twilight High. It was a big school with I think 3 floors. It had two other buildings behind it and I guessed they were other classrooms. There was a huge front lawn with students already lounging on and there were three large trees spread out along the center. The walls were a dark auburn color with a little blend of black.

I sighed and turned to Demyx. "What homeroom do you have?"

He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Mr. Xemnas."

"I got Mr. Gun. Weird name right?"

"That's a super weird name!" Demyx smiled.

"Guess we got to go in now…." I reluctantly said. And so, we walked in.

Roxas

Demyx and I parted ways and now I stood alone in front of Mr. Gun's classroom. I wonder what Mr. Gun's first name is. I hope it's not Shot. I laughed to myself and opened the door. My smile quickly faded away in a heartbeat.

I saw him again. I saw Axel. That idiotic person is in my homeroom. Wonderful, I'll have like twenty minutes with him every school day. I slowly stepped inside and was greeted with a couple familiar faces.

Oh my god. I saw Sora! He ran up to me and gave me a big hug. I was really happy. At least one of my old friends was here. This, this is good. Sora said he was moving somewhere but he didn't tell me he was moving to Twilight Town.

"I can't believe it!" I exclaimed.

"I know, me too! I didn't know you moved here!" Sora shouted.

"Well, I didn't know you moved here either." I sighed.

Sora was a cheerful little boy whose personality was similar to my brother's. However, in looks he is extremely similar to me. He has brown hair that's stuck up in spikes and the same ocean blue eyes as me. The only main difference is his hair color. If someone stands us next to each other we'd look like twins. Sadly, Sora isn't related to me at all.

"Is this the guy you were talking about?" A voice asked. I looked at Sora's face and it was a little pink.

"Y-Yup, he's my friend from my old school." He replied.

"Cool," The voice appeared before me and I saw it was Riku.

"I'm Riku Tenebres," (A/N: I couldn't find the right accents over the two E's but it means darkness in French.)

Riku is a strange person. The stories I've heard about him is that nothing bothers him and that girls do practically anything for him. I don't know why Sora is fidgety around him. Maybe it's because Riku looks like that? Maybe, but I think there's something deeper that I don't want to get into.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Roxas Hikari." I said happily. I winked at Sora who blushed as I walked away from the two boys.

I walked past Axel's desk. His feet were propped up over it and his hands were behind his head. Oh, and he was sleeping. I tried to not look at him but I couldn't stop myself.

Axel looked so amazing and…so…handsome. He was like a sleeping statue that didn't want to be disturbed. (A/N: I didn't want to use god again. XD). For some reason I wanted to reach out and…and touch him. I wanted to know what would happen if I touched the sleeping creature. Warmth, that's what I'd feel. I was sure of it.

I stepped to the side of him and stretched my hand out. There weren't many people in the class right now so I wasn't concerned about anyone looking. I wanted to touch his hair. I wanted to touch his fiery burning red hair.

I was so close now. I placed my hand on his hair and caressed it. It was surprisingly smooth and silky. I unwillingly smiled. For some reason I was really happy. Whenever I'm around Axel I feel joy and no fear. Nothing to fear at—

Axel's eyes slowly opened and he muttered, "Lila…"

He blinked a little and finally realized where he was. He looked around with his eyes and looked up at me with those bright emerald eyes. "Roxas,"

"What?" I asked not realizing where my hand was.

"Why is your hand on my hair?" He asked.

I quickly pulled my arm away and blushed. "Um, uh, b-because there w-was something in it."

"Yeah, right," He said as he shook his head causing his hair to bounce around.

"It's the truth!" I cried.

"Sure," He replied. Suddenly he smirked. "What? You wanted to know what my hair felt like, right?"

Damn, how can he read my mind like that? "Nope," I think I said that a little too quickly.

"Ah, poor Roxas, you tis in denial," He commented.

"Denial? Denial of what?" I asked.

Axel shrugged. "I don't know. I thought you'd do one of those out burst things."

"You're weird." I said. Denial…hmm.

"Once you realize your place in life—" He paused. "Hmm, I don't know what I was going for with that sentence. Whatever,"

I remembered the name Axel said when he woke up. "Who's Lila?"

Once I said that name, Axel blinked on the spot. "Where'd you hear that?"

"You said it when you woke up."

"Just some chick I know…knew."

That name gave me a chill. Axel was mine. Go away you evil bitch. Seriously? Seriously! I do not like Axel at all and I never will. You hear me mind? You here me?

"Friend," I repeated to myself.

"Who's a friend?" Axel asked.

"Um, you…I mean if you want to."

"I thought we were already friends. What? You'd lead me on to believing we were friends and if you didn't ask today a year later you'd finally ask me to be your friend? How horrible, Roxas. Extremely horrible." He pretended to cry. "I hate you Roxas!"

"What the hell?" I asked. "You are the weirdest person in the entire planet."

He held his hands up in defense. "Hey only joking." He stood up so that he was staring me down. "You Roxas are a piece of work."

He leaned in close so that we were inches away from each other. I blushed fiercely but didn't turn away. He had me in some sort of trance. I couldn't look away from his eyes.

He caressed my hair and whispered, "You are a very attractive person."

I didn't know whether he was joking or not. Either way my heart was about to burst. "W-Why is your hand on my h-hair?"

He smiled. "Because there was something in your hair,"

I used all my might to push Axel away and try to regain myself. I think he saw how confused I was and said, "Calm down Roxy, I was only playing."

That hit hard. Knowing that he was joking made me feel even worse. I don't care….I don't whether he was joking or not. It doesn't matter to me. Nothing about Axel matters to me anymore, nothing.

I straightened up and stared him straight in the eye. I thought I was tough but once I looked into that sea of emerald my legs started to shake. I gulped. No, I am not going to submit to Axel god damn it!

"I can't," I said realizing I said it out loud.

"Can't what?" Axel asked me.

"I can't take it anymore," I shouted and stormed out of the room.

Demyx opened the door to his new homeroom and smiled. He had Zexion in his class. Zexion was peacefully reading another book he found on his shelf. He gently turned each page and scanned then equally.

Demyx's legs shook as he took a seat next to Zexion. Demyx's desk actually said: Demyx sit here. He gulped and unloaded his things into his desk. He kept glancing at Zexion to see whether he noticed him yet. Zexion still kept his gaze on the book he was reading and Demyx sighed.

He gulped and took a big step. "H-Hi, Zexion,"

Zexion's head shot up with the sound of his name. He turned and saw Demyx staring shakily at him. "Oh, hello Demyx,"

Zexion's voice was so confident and elegant it made Demyx feel so far away from him. "H-How are you?"

"I'm fine. How are you feeling today?" He asked keeping his emotions hidden.

"Good," Demyx paused. "First days scare me."

Zexion nodded. "They probably scare everyone."

"Like you?"

Zexion stared at him blankly and replied, "I tend to think about other things during first days."

"What do you think about?"

Zexion looked away and then replied, "People,"

"What kind of people?"

Zexion didn't reply and quickly changed the subject. "Demyx, do you know what tolerance means?"

Demyx flushed and shook his head. "What does it mean?"

"It means accepting someone the way they are."

"What does that have to do with me?" Demyx asked.

Zexion shook his head. "Not with you but with others."

"Huh?"

"The people you meet need to have tolerance. If they don't then…well they shout at you, am I correct?" Demyx nodded.

"People get angry at me because I'm slower than others. They end up just shouting and making me feel stupid." Demyx said quietly.

"Surely not everyone is like that."

"Yes they are! They all shout at me and make me feel bad. Why'd you call me Shirley?"

Zexion chuckled slightly. "I said S-U-R-E-L-Y."

"Oh, this is when people get angry at me. Everyone is like that."

After a moment of silence Zexion said, "I'm not."

Demyx looked at him surprised. Of course! Demyx forgot about Zexion. He forgot that he always asked Zexion questions and he never seemed to get angry or bored. Zexion had tolerance. Why was he bringing this up anyway?

"Intolerance," Zexion said ignoring what he said before. "That's what everyone else has."

"Why are you telling me this?" Demyx ask. For some reason his heart began to beat fast.

Zexion shrugged. "I was just thinking about it is all."

Zexion shifted position and ended up dropping his book. As he reached down for it and another hand grabbed it at the same time he did. Zexion quickly looked up and saw Demyx staring at him. Zexion raised a brow at him.

"Thank you but you can let go now."

Demyx blushed and said, "Oh, uh sorry."

Zexion slowly turned around as the teacher stepped into the room. The teacher was a unique looking person. He had dark tan skin and light grey hair that was accented by strange yellow eyes. For some reason this man gave Demyx a chill.

"That's Mr. Xemnas?" Demyx asked astonished.

Zexion nodded not looking away from the board. "Call him Xemnas,"

Demyx stared at the teacher and breathed out nervously.

"Demyx Hikari? You in here, fool?" Xemnas boomed as Demyx grimaced.

"Um, h-here…" Demyx shook as his hand went up halfway.

"Get over here," Xemnas boomed. Demyx looked to Zexion for help and all he did was motion his head forward. Demyx got up from his seat and slowly walked towards the front of the room. "Hurry up I don't have all day."

Demyx quickened his pace and stood in front of Xemnas' desk. "H-Hello Mr. Xemnas,"

"Call me Xemnas," He said sharply. "Now, I don't want you getting your ass in the wrong place while you're at my school. So, I've assigned you a guide to teach you about the school so you don't fuck up. You've got a week together."

Demyx shivered. Teachers aren't supposed to curse, are they? He didn't like Xemnas at all. He shakily nodded and gulped. Xemnas took out a clipboard and shoved it at him. He motioned for Demyx to read it and he did.

"He's going to be your guide," He informed the dumbfounded blonde.

"Z-Zexion," Demyx said. As Zexion heard his name his head shot up from his book. He wasn't paying attention at all so when his name was called so he had a confused face on.

"What?" He asked unafraid of Xemnas.

"You're going to be Demyx's guide for the week." Xemnas replied.

"What if I don't want to?" Zexion sighed.

"You don't have a choice in this, mister." Xemnas snapped.

Zexion groaned. "How long do I have to do this?"

"A week," Xemnas smiled wickedly.

"Fine," Zexion mumbled and stuffed his face back in his book.

Demyx was astounded by how unafraid of Xemnas Zexion was. He wished he had that courage. "Could I sit down now?"

"You sit down when I tell you to sit down," Xemnas retorted.

"Ok," Demyx said quickly.

"Now sit down,"

"Ok," Demyx hurried to his seat and sighed.

He looked at Zexion who was still reading his book. Demyx stared at his features and smiled. Zexion looked happy when he read his books. For some reason it made Demyx happy. Demyx's gaze fell on Zexion's lips which were mouthing every word Zexion read. Zexion's lips must be soft. Yeah, they're warm and smooth and soft. When Demyx presses his lips to Zexion's it must be a beautiful feeling.

Demyx blushed ferociously and shook his head. How could he be thinking weird thoughts like that? Demyx was a good boy and shouldn't be thinking nasty thoughts. His mother used to say that whenever he did something wrong. Now, it's burned in his head forever.

Zexion closed his book and turned to Demyx which caused His heart to race. "Are you alright, Demyx?"

Demyx nodded, "It's just…hot."

Zexion raised a brow and said, "Ok. What class do you have next?"

"I thought I had this one." Demyx said calming down.

Zexion smiled a smile that could knock someone out. "No, we have Xemnas third period."

Demyx took out his schedule and scanned it. "Mr. Lockheart?"

"I have him next too. He teaches social studies." Zexion informed the Blondie.

"Then shall we?" Zexion said standing up.

Demyx looked around and said, "Yes,"

Sora stared after Roxas as he ran out the door. He shrugged and looked at Axel who was smirking. Sora giggled and stepped towards his desk. He heard voices behind him and recognized who they were.

Riku and Larxene

"…forget the ketchup?" Larxene played.

"No, got it right here!" Riku sighed.

Sora turned around to see what they were doing. They were pretty much just talking about nonsense. "What are you doing?"

Larxene glared at Sora and said, "Talking about food,"

"Why?"

Larxene shrugged. "Bored,"

"The teacher won't be in for a very long time." Riku explained.

Larxene smiled deviously and Riku stared at Sora. I wonder if Riku is a bad ass. Sora thought. That'd be hot.

"Is something on your mind?" Riku asked.

"Why's the teacher going to be late?"

Riku and Larxene looked at each other and Larxene replied, "Riku and I were playing around at the teacher's desk and found some calling cards."

"We grabbed one that said Cecile Gun, his wife. Larxene called Mr. Gun up and I called up his wife." Riku added.

"Let's just say that right now Mr. Gun and his wife are looking for each other in Brazil." Larxene finished.

Riku and Larxene simultaneously laughed and Sora felt a splash of jealousy. He wished he could laugh with Riku about something. However, Sora probably wouldn't make the teacher go to Brazil. He stared at the laughing pair and looked away. Sora only met Riku yesterday and he was already going crazy about him.

Sora walked away and leaned against the wall. Why was he in to Riku anyway? Of course he was hawt and steamy but what else was there? Why does Sora care so much? He pretty much only knows Riku's name and that he's the school's pretty boy. Oh, and that he's a troublemaker.

If Sora was here two weeks ago why did he first meet Riku yesterday? That still confused Sora even when there was nothing on his mind. Did Sora just not notice him until yesterday? How could he? Riku was a very…very attractive person. He'd catch the eye of anyone, man or woman, the second they'd step into the same room.

"What's up with you?" Riku asked walking towards him.

Sora looked up at Riku and was immediately engulfed in his bright ass eyes. Sora couldn't speak, couldn't move, and couldn't tear his eyes away from Riku's. In the back of Sora's mind he didn't want to look away.

"Are you ok?" Riku asked raising a brow.

It took a lot of energy for Sora to take his eyes away from Riku. He started to get feeling in his arms and legs and replied, "I'm…fine,"

"You don't seem fine." Riku commented.

Sora shook his head careful not to look at Riku's face again. "I'm alright, seriously."

"Then why aren't you looking at me?" Riku asked.

"I d-don't need to look at you." Sora said defensively.

"Yeah sure," Riku said not angrily but lazily.

Riku grabbed Sora's chin and forced him to look at him. "Now, tell me you are alright."

Sora's face turned red and he tried to look away but Riku kept his grasp on Sora's chin. Since Riku was taller than Sora he had to lean down to grab his chin. So, right now Riku's and Sora's faces were pretty close to each other. Pretty close to do almost anything…hehe.

Sora couldn't tell Riku he was fine now. He was far from fine. He was pretty much going to collapse. Riku's eyes…his gaze was too much for Sora to bear. His heart began to beat rapidly against his chest and he ripped Riku's hands away from him.

Sora panted exhaustedly as Riku smiled. Sora ran out of the room and Riku didn't seem phased by what had unfolded before him. He actually found it funny. Riku chuckled and then his smile faded. He pouted and then said:

"I need to stop hanging out with Axel."

Sorry for the long wait. School's back on and…homework.

Hope you liked the chapter and give me some feedback on what I should and what I shouldn't do.

Sorry that Sora's and Riku's parts were so short. I wanted to get the chapter in before next week.

I promise their parts will be a lot longer! Don't hate me!

Review!
