Hey everyone! I updated! So.... read this and review pleasez! :D:D:D
Enjoy!
"Class,
I'd like to introduce your new student. Her name is Pheobe."
A
pompous female teacher stood in front of the freshman classroom,
pointing to the very tall 'freshman'.
"Maybe one of you could
show Pheobe around the highschool today?"
Not a hand was
raised in the air.
"Be friendly, children. Anyways, how about
you Roxas? ....Roxas?"
The blonde boy was propped up with his
arm and staring intently at the blackboard...all the while
snoring.
*snap* A camera's shutter opened and closed again,
capturing a photo of the sleeping teen.
A pale hand poked the back
of Roxas's neck with a pencil.
"Hey. Psst. Roxas, wake
up."
"Ngh." A disgruntled Roxas woke with a start.
"Pence...ngr...what is it? A pop ..*yawn*..quiz?"
The
chubby boy laughed quietly. "No, the teacher called for you and
Hayner took a picture of you while you were asleep. I, uh, didn't
know you slept with your eyes open."
Roxas rolled his tired
eyes and turned to the teacher who was currently scolding Hayner for
bringing a camera to the classroom.
"You called for me, Mrs.
Bloomwood?" He said as brightly as he could for someone who just
woke up.
"Oh.. oh yes dear, could you show Pheobe here around
the school today?" She said without turning her disciplining
gaze from Hayner.
Roxas looked at the girl up at the front of the
classroom. In his opinion, she looked quite ratty, what with the
cutoff gloves and ripped jeans.
But other than that, she looked
kind enough he guessed.
"Of course, Mrs. Bloomwood." he
said.
===
There was nothing more humiliating than a 21 year old woman
standing in
front of her new freshman classroom.
Tranza, now "Pheobe",
was embarrassed beyond anything.
Trying to get a hold of herself,
she scanned the crowd of sleepy kids for the one called Roxas. She'd
seen the photos of him
the Nobody's dropped everywhere. Suddenly
she spotted the sleeping boy as the teacher called on him to show her
around.
That's it!
She could get to know him now, and after school invite him to her
house.
She knew what to do from there.
"Yea, so these are the lockers, the restrooms are over there, and way down there,"
Roxas pointed
down the hall, "Is our homeroom. Got it?"
"Uh,
yeah, I think so," Pheobe said with her best impression of one
who is inexplicably shy.
"Hey, you want to stick with us at
lunch? At this school, it can get pretty crazy for a new kid on the
first day of school."
Pheobe considered this. It would
probably be the best option, just to get to know him better.
"Sure,
of course Roxas." she said, adding a girly pitch to her
voice.
She watched as a blush creeped up into his cheeks.
Uh-oh,
maybe I overdid it..
She decided to
change the subject.
"So... what's next .. ?" She said,
trying to sound younger than she was. There is a noticeable physical
difference between
ninth graders and adults, including the voice.
Not to mention that she had a naturally deeper voice than most women
her age.
Think ninth grade, ninth grade,
ninth grade, ninth....
"Uhh.. Pheob?"
Roxas was staring at the clock. It was almost time for class.
The
nickname jolted her out of her trance.
"Roxas, did you just
call me, 'Pheob'?" Pheobe asked, curious.
Roxas looked
puzzled. "Yeeah.. why? Should I stop calling you that?"
He
can't get too attached.
Pheobe shook her
head. "Maybe its not a good idea. I mean, I've only been here
one day and now I got a nickname."
He looked hurt. "I'm
sorry, I guess I wasn't trying to offend you."
Pheobe
softened. "Yeah, it's all right. Don't worry about it." She
ruffled his hair as she would a ninth grader.
Oh
crud!
He was a
ninth grader. And so was she.
Pheobe stiffened. "Gah! A fly
in your hair." She said quickly and laughed for effect.
She
reached over and put his hair back in place.
"Dang,
how much hair gel did you use?" She said,
incredulous.
"Uh..well..about .." Said Roxas, redness
creeping into his cheeks once again.
Pheobe opened her mouth to
interrupt him but then Roxas looked at the clock above them in the
deserted school halls, grabbed her hand, and ran for the classroom.
===
"Yes,
well, Hayner, answering your question, we still have one hundred and
seventy-nine days until vacation."
A loud groan from Hayner
followed by annoyed grunts and sighs from his classmates echoed
around Roxas's bored head.
Suddenly, a hand clad in cut-off gloves
reached over and tapped his shoulder.
Jolting back to reality,
Roxas reached and took the note from Pheobe's outstretched palm.
Roxas read the note word for word, strangely happy to have been the first one to befriend this strange girl.
Roxas - it was great to have met you today, and thanks so much for welcoming me to school.
I hope we become really close friends!
In the
meantime, after school do you want to -
IIIII (something was scratched out here)
walk me home?
- Pheobe
Smiling to
himself, Roxas turned around and gave Pheobe a thumbs up.
She shot
him a grin and turned to her assignment.
Roxas wondered whether he
should take her to meet his friends at The Usual Spot.
He didn't
know what Hayner, the self-appointed gang's leader, would think of
it, but still, she was kind of cute.
Hayner loved cute
girls.
Although very slender, Roxas noted she sported a figure
that
made her
look way older than fourteen.
Too cute. Roxas wouldn't take her to
see Hayner.
Pheobe hoped
that Roxas wasn't suspicious of anything. But then, she laughed to
herself, who would suspect that
a group of people from a different
dimensions were trying to kidnap him to take him back to Organization
XIII?
No, it would
work out.
"Pheobe!" She turned to see a breathless Roxas
run over to her, stopping to lean on a tree to catch his breath.
"Oh,
hey, Roxas! Ready to go?" She said quickly, not wanting to waste
any time.
"Uh, sure. Where's your house?" he said.
"Uh,
down the road, then take a right." She said lightly.
Roxas
took her hand and led the way
===
"Uh...Pheobe?"
Roxas started.
"I know." A different voice than Pheobe's
sounded beside him. It was deeper, more rough, older than Pheobe.
His
heart raced. There was something wrong,
"Yes," the voice
continued "I know it's not what you expected."
He turned
to see that it WAS Pheobe, but she was somehow different. She had
lost the girly pitch to her voice. She sounded..womanly.
Her eyes
narrowed and took on an expression that was hard to read.
"But
then, neither is this."
And everything went black.
