Chapter 2 ~ Memorization

The rest of the day passed by like it was a speeding car. I walked into my 6th period theater/choir class, it was my favorite class. As soon as I got into the class, which was also a theater, I sat into my chair. Slowly the room started to fill and I read some of my favorite book, Cinderella, but I was soon interrupted when my friend Demyx sat down on my lap.

"Hey stop reading and look at the new kid in class." Demyx said as he grabbed my book out of my hands and pointed it.

We both looked at the kid who was actually Sora, he was handing a paper to Mrs. Pots who was one of the choir and theater teachers. She took the paper from Sora and went into her office. Sora followed slowly watching as the paper got signed by the teacher. They then both walked into the room and Sora sat in the front of the class room.

"Hey we should have him sit with us."

"No that's okay."

"Hey new kid!" Demyx yelled to the front of the room. Sora turned looking at Demyx then at me. Slowly he got up and walked over sitting down to me.

"Sora, Demyx. Demyx, Sora."

Demyx turned to look at me. "You know him?"

"Yeah, I helped him find his locker this morning, he has house educate with Roxas." Sora did not say a word.

"So Sora, what do you think of our school?"

"It's … um… okay."

"Listen up my little darlings. Today we are going to start our next project. Starting today we will be working on Roxanne's play. We will have auditions today after school." Mrs. Pots said as her and Roxanne started passing out papers. "These are the audition packets, fill them out and memorize the monologue." Mrs. Pots then handed me a packet, "everyone will have all class to work on it and if anyone needs to come in for 7th period they can."

"What did you get Sora?" Demyx asked after Mrs. Pots had left.

"Um…. I got The Lion King. What about you?"

"I got…. 101 Dalmatians." I could hear them slightly over me monologue. Then I was gone, absorbed by the words.

"What about you, Axel?" Sora had asked Axel.

"Don't ask, he is gone, lost in the monologue." Demyx Said as he laughed.

"What do you mean he is lost in the monologue?" Demyx stood up from his place on Axels' lap to the chair that was sitting next to Sora.

"Well, when he gets something in this class to do, he has to do it or it will drive him nuts. Monologues are the worst because he will get so focused on it that he does not know that he was so far away." Taking in a sharp breath he continued, "Sora, you should really see this guy on stage." And then I was gone in the monologue. It was the end of class when I had the whole monologue memorized.

"Okay class, I will see you all of you after school here in the theater. I will have props for all of your monologues if you need them." Mrs. Pots said above all of the chatter in the room. I then stood up.

"So where are you going?" Demyx said, looking up at me.

"I'm going to find my props."

"That must mean you have a good one." Demyx said as he stood up. "Are you coming with us Sora?" Sora looked at us. His stare seemed to go right through me once he looked at in my direction.

Without a word he stood. "No. I'm going to finish memorizing." Then without any more words he walked to the front of the class room and sat down. Demyx and I looked at each other, shrugged and walked to the prop room.

"What do you think of Sora?"

"I don't know, why?"

"He acts very weird." I rolled my eyes. Demyx went on and on but as I grabbed my props, I made him carry a bunch of them. We then placed them in the wings of the stage. Then the bell rang. As we both walked off the stage, saw Sora still sitting in his chair with his paper glued to his face. I then walked over to him.

"Got it memorized?" Sora jumped

"I think so. Well, see you later." He quickly ran out the door.

"See I told you he is acting weird."

"Okay, get going or we are going to be late for practice." I said pushing Demyx out the door.

"Hey you were the one who wanted to talk to the kid."

"Okay smart ass, let's go before we have to do more laps.'

Demyx, Roxas and I are all on the same water-polo and swim teams. We all love that we have this one thing in common with each other. As Demyx and I arrived in the locker room as the bell rang.

"Hello ladies, it looks like you made it in the nick-of-time." Our coach said. "You got very lucky because we have two very important things going on today. So go change and meet at the pool." We both then rushed to get in our Speedos' and put on our swim caps. As we walked into the pool area Coach was talking. "This is our newest member to our team." He said as he patted a small kid's shoulder. "Make him feel welcome." Coach pointed to the side and the kid disappeared into the crowd. "Okay next on our agenda is the team Captain; we will take a vote at the end of practice. Also today's practice will be cut short today because of the theater class additions," He then looked down at his clip board, "now I want 20 laps in you individual stokes."

We all got in position to dive in, just waiting for the signal to go. Then Coach blew his whistle. Not paying attention to anyone else I jumped into the water feeling the rush that always came with it. Once I surfaced I breather and stared my stroke which was the butterfly stroke. I felt powerful as I beat my arms like wings, and as I reached the wall on the other side, I turned around and started on my free-style stroke. I felt so close to being free. The only reason I did not feel all the way free was because water was never my element, it was fire but water felt right sometimes. As I finished my laps I made sure I had my monologue memorized, I was also the first one to finish (as always) so I did ten more laps. Once I was finished everyone was done and out of the pool. Demyx and Roxas helped me out of the pool.

"Okay ladies, go shower and get dressed. We will meet in the conference room to decide the new team captain, so think of who it should be." Everyone walked into the locker room but Coach pulled me aside. "You know kid you are the best swimmer on the team. Thanks for the extra effort." He said as he patted my shoulder. "If I was on the team and not the coach I would pick you to be the captain. Now go get ready."

I then followed him into the locker room.

Author's Note:

Axel: Okay so this chapter is not as interesting as I thought it would be but that is okay. I also can't believe how long it took me to get it typed up.

Roxas: So you are saying that you just don't like writing then?

Axel: No *stares* I love writing but school is very busy so I have not had the time to type it up because I have 8 chapters written up but not typed.

Roxas: Really! I think you are lying to people.

Axel: *Tackles Roxas to the ground and sits on him* whatever you weakling. See you guys in the next chapter of The Class Prince and the Class Popper: Life after Class
