CHAPTER 2: Friends ROXAS POVThe guy with the Mohawk – what was his name again… … … … Demyx! That's it. Anyway, after bumping into that redhead (I'm positive his hair isn't naturally that colour) with gorgeous jade eyes, what am I thinking, Demyx led me to the 3rd floor to room 3B, my dorm room, and left me to unpack. I figured I ought to call Sora to let him know I was ok, but I didn't want to risk talking to mum or dad. Plus, sleep was calling me. I've had a horrible day of travelling, and crying. Its not the easiest thing to be told your own parents don't want you.
I made my way over to my squeaky but comfy single bed. I lay down and my brain just shut down. Soon sleep overtook me.
x-X-x
When I woke up in the morning it was 10AM. I never sleep in that long! I groaned and got up.
I made the mistake of checking my phone. 7 missed calls, 14 texts and 4 voicemails! As I suspected everything was from Sora. I dialled his number with no answer, and then I realized that Sora had already started university this morning.
A sudden realization dawned on me. I was late! It was the first day. Luckily for me, my first class wasn't until 10.30AM. I rushed to the shower. Got in (taking my clothes off before obviously), washed, got out and got dressed. I decided to wear black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt and my hoodie. As I walked out the door I quickly picked up my bag checking everything was there. Phone: Check. Timetable: Check. Ipod: Check. Everything there. I walked out the door shutting the door behind, to be knocked off my feet, literally.
I groaned and looked up to see a smirking redhead. My day just can't get any worse!
AXEL POVClass started 10 minutes ago. I was late… again. I've never liked that class anyway. Vexen doesn't like me anyway. He teaches Science and as its compulsory I have to take it. He doesn't like me since I burned his desk and maybe a bit of his hair. What? Don't give me that look! Its not my fault he left the lighter there and that Demyx made me jump, causing me drop it onto Vexen's head!
Anyway, 10 minutes late. I picked up my bag and ran out my door slamming it shut and bumping into a very familiar blonde.
"Urg" He groaned.
"Whatcha doin' on the floor Roxas?" I asked him glancing down me.
"Grrrrrrr" He growled at me. "I was going to class. But some stupid redhead knocked me over" Hmmm… he didn't seem very happy. I held out my hand to help him up. He looked at it before ignoring it and standing up by himself.
In the blink of an eye he turned and started to walk away from. I didn't realize until he was about to get in the lift. I jogged after him.
"Hey! Wait up Roxy!" I called after him, getting into the lift with him.
"Don't call me that!"
"What? Don't you like it?" He nodded. "I like it … "
"Exactly" The lift doors opened and Roxas walked away from me.
I ran after him. "Whatcha have now Roxy?" He glared at me, but that didn't scare me, it just made him look even cuter. I looked at what he was wearing. Black skinny jeans, hoodie, black t-shirt and converse. He looked hot!
"What're you looking at?" He looked away. Had I been staring? No, I couldn't have. Then why was he asking me what I was looking at? Damnit! I had been staring…
"Urrrr… n-nothing!" Did I just stutter? "I just wanna know what you have now?"
"Art. But first I have to go to the office."
"Why?" He just shrugged and walked off. All I could do was just stare after him. When he disappeared into the office, I turned and sprinted to my class.
Why do I keep thinking about him? All through the night I couldn't get him out of my head. He doesn't seem to like me much.
We'll see about that.
ROXAS POVAfter I walked away from Axel, the redhead, I walked into the office. It was the blonde haired lady that drove me here. It was obvious that she recognised me, because she looked at me from the black haired girl who she was helping, to turn and look at me. In turn the black haired girl turned around too. She had stunning blue eyes that looked scarily like mine. But she was pretty. I smiled at her and she returned the smile, turning back towards the blonde haired woman. I can't quite remember her name though. I walked towards the desk and stood next to the black haired girl. She looked nervous. She glanced at me and I smiled at her. I could see the nervousness in her eyes disappear when she looked at me. I turned to look at the blonde woman.
"Hello Roxas, remember me? Larxene remember? You complained about me going to kill you on the drive here" She laughed, not in a nice way, in more of an … evil way. I looked at my feet, a blush creeping onto my face.
"Yeah, how could I forget with your driving?" I looked up at her and laughed, Larxene laughed with me while the black haired girl looked confused between the both of us.
"Anyway. Roxas task her with you and go to your locker" I looked to the black hair girl and smiled again. I hadn't smiled like that in a long time.
"Come on" I said, still smiling. She was smiling at me and followed me.
"Okay! My name's Xion. What about you?" She asked politely.
"Roxas. Nice to meet you!" I held out my hand for her to shake. Instead she hugged me.
"You too." She let go of me. I looked mildly shocked but shook it off my face a second later. "Sorry … I was so nervous about today because I'm nor very good at making friends. In my last school, nobody would talk to me at all. A-a-and I-I sat o-on m-my o-own at l-l-lunch" She burst into tears. Fuck! What should I do? I didn't mean to make her cry! I decided on putting an arm around her and pulled her close.
"Shhhh … its okay. Don't worry. I'll be more than glad to be your friend" I consoled her.
She looked up at me. "R-r-really?" She sobbed.
I smiled at her and nodded. She jumped up and squealed, with a huge grin plastered onto her face.
"Let's get to class." She nodded and I walked her to her class, which was Science with Vexen … and that redhead, Axel.
I waved to her and walked off.
x-X-x
I got to my art lesson 15 minutes late. The only seat was next to a blonde haired girl with pretty blue eyes. As I walked in, everyone looked at me, well, that is except the teacher. She just pointed to the back of the class where the blonde haired girl sat. I nodded and walked over to her. Fourteen pairs of eyes followed me. The classes here were small.
When I sat down the blonde haired who looked at me and smiled softly.
"I'm Namine!" She was so cheerful I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Roxas. What are meant to be doing?" I asked curiously.
"Just draw anything" I looked over to her drawing. It was of Twilight Town in the evening with bright lights.
"That's really good!" I exclaimed. It seemed to make her happy because her smile slowly got bigger.
"Thanks!" She said even cheerier that before.
"Are we allowed to listen to Ipods?" She looked slightly sad at that, but she nodded her head and turned back to her drawing.
I pulled out my ipod, and then looked at her sad face. "Would you like to listen to it with me?" Her face lit up and she nodded. I passed her an earpiece and pressed play. I was listening to the lyrics carefully.
'If I can't have you, why won't you let me go? If you don't want me, say it on the radio! So go on, go on, go on just play it. Come on, come on, come on, you'll never say it! That you don't want me cause you can't let me go, me go!'
It reminded me of the fact my parent don't want me.
Namine and I talked all lesson, becoming pretty good friends. We walked out of art to lunch.
AXEL POVI watched my Roxas walk away. Wait! What! My Roxas? Where'd that come from? I watched Roxas walk away. After he left I looked at the girl who he walked with her. I felt a strange feeling at the bottom of my stomach as I watched the girl sit next to Kairi. Kairi had red hair, same as me, just not as bright, with blue eyes, though not as pretty as Roxas'. I can't put my finger on what that feeling was. I turned to watch the girl. She wasn't very interesting. Just sitting there watching Vexen. I couldn't get the way he hugged her out of my head. I wonder if he would hug me like that.
"AXEL!"
I was returned back to reality. "What?"
"Pay attention" Vexen returned to teaching. The dark haired girl, who was called Xion, turned to look at me. I held her gaze for a second or so. As I turned away I felt a bit of paper hit my head. I looked across the room to Kairi. She shook her head and pointed to Xion. The dark haired girl looked a bit embarrassed. I don't know why though. I looked back the piece of paper and unfolded it.
"Hi Axel,
This morning on the way to class were you walking with Roxas?"
I looked up and nodded. She threw another bit of paper at me.
"Are you guys friends?"
I don't know why but I nodded. When, in actual fact he didn't seem to like me much … another bit of paper hit my head.
"Do you think we could be friends?" I grabbed a bit of paper from my bag and started to write.
"No, why would I want to be friends with you!" I know it was mean but … she just didn't seem to fit in with me. I tossed it at her and she read it. Her smile slowly fading. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Why? She mouthed.
Just then the bell rang. I know it sounds cliché but the bell saved me. I ran out.
Now I know what that feeling was. Jealousy
ROXAS POVNamine and I walked into the cafeteria and saw Xion sitting on her own. Her beautiful blue eyes all red and puffy. She's been crying.
"Hey Nami. Let's go sit with Xion!" I held onto her arm and walked over to sit with Xion. She looked up at me with that sad smile. Namine looked to me and I looked back.
"Xion? What's wrong?" I asked. "Oh, by the way, Namine Xion, Xion Namine." The two girls shook hands.
Xion's eyes were welling up again. A single tear slipped down her cheek. I brushed it away with my thumb.
"Y-you k-know the r-redhead y-you were w-walking in with t-this morning?" I nodded. "He wouldn't b-be my f-friend." She burst into sobs. I went to sit next to her and put my arm around her. She buried her face in my chest.
"Shh, Xion it's alright. Roxas and I are going to be your friends, even your best friends if you'd like." Namine said softly. "Isn't that right Roxas?" I looked at her and back to Xion.
"Of course." I smiled at her and she smiled back. I looked around the cafeteria 'til my eyes rested on Axel and his friends. He looked at me and smiled. I glared at him. He looked a bit taken a back. I broke the gaze to look back at Xion who just said "I don't want to ruin your friendship" I nearly choked on my drink. She and Namine wore a confused look on their faces.
"Wha-? Me? And him? Friends?" They nodded. I burst into laughter. I caught the attention of everyone in there, as well as Axel and the guy I remember as Demyx. Namine burst into laughter too when she though about it, closely followed by Xion. We were all laughing so much we had to hold our sides.
When we finally calmed down we all noticed Axel and Demyx walking to us with amused looks.
"What's the joke?" Axel smirked.
"T-they thought w-we were f-friends!" I tried to say between laughter. With that, me, Nami and Xion burst out laughing. Axel looked genuinely hurt as he walked away.
