A/N: Hey! So I'm going to put the next chapter up. It was crazy easy to write. Not to mention fun. I'm not sure when I'll be able to put the next chapter up after this. I have choir auditions all this coming week. Exciting, but also means I might not put up another chapter for a week. Sorry. Major thanks to the following:

Roxas walked into the classroom, nervous. It was her first day of class at her college, and this wasn't some 'get to know the campus' freshman class. It was an actual class. She shouldn't be in it. She had had to get four signatures from all the AP teachers she had had to get into it.

She walked into the room, it was like nothing she had seen before, completely different from the high school classrooms she had used for the last four years. It didn't help her nerves that she was the only freshman. She smiled self consciously and walked over to one of the chairs at the tables scattered about the room. She sat and let her bag fall to the floor beside her.

Eight other students were in the room, all sitting at different desks except for one tall redhead and a brunette who sat across from her. She watched as the redhead leaned back in her chair, looking completely at ease and badass. The brunette leaned forward in answer, obviously flirting. The redhead said something and the brunette laughed. She pulled out a pen and scribbled something on a scrap of paper, shoving it into the redhead's hand. She stood and sauntered out of the room.

Roxas watched her go before her attention wandered back to the redhead. The girl had put head buds in and closed her eyes, looking as if she had been like that for ages.

Roxas' eyes swept the rest of the room. There were five people now, not including her and the redhead. A pretty raven haired girl, a mildly attractive brown haired guy, a girl with blue hair and a lip ring, a guy with black hair, and a blonde haired girl.

Her attention returned once again to the redhead. It was only natural. The girl demanded attention. Roxas couldn't quite put her finger on it. There was just something that drew attention to the redhead. Sure, she was beautiful, but there was more to it than that. The raven haired girl was just as pretty. But the redhead just had something.

Roxas took in the redhead. The shock of red hair that had first caught the blonde's eye tumbled down the girl' back, ending slightly below her should her blades. It moved slightly as the girl swayed slightly to the music pumping through the headphones. The movements brought Roxas' eyes to the other girl's face. The red hair framed the slim face perfectly. The features were delicate, but with an implied strength.

Like diamonds. The thought caught Roxas off guard. What was that about?

She mentally shook herself, and turned away from the redhead, but the image was still in her head, and there wasn't much to do while waiting for the class to start. She found herself looking at the girl again. There were strange marks under each of the girl's eyes. It took Roxas a second to realize they were tattoos, and another second to decide she liked them. The black ink was a shock against the pale skin of the redhead, but it suited her.

Roxas eyes wandered down the rest of the other girl's body, taking in the slim build that looked amazing in the well fitted jeans and jacket she wore. It took her a second to realize that she was staring a little too long on the girl's hips, and she quickly jerked her eyes back up to the other girl's face. Bright green eyes met hers, and she sucked in a breathe in shock. Those eyes were so intense. They seemed to burn somehow. Smolder. She jerked away with a blush. But not before she saw the amusement in the other girl's eyes.

Three more people had joined the class, but Roxas carefully kept her eyes away from them. A dirty blonde burst loudly through the doors to the classroom, and Roxas turned. The blonde gasped for air, looking as if he had just sprinted across the entire campus to get there. He looked up, and locked eyes with the redhead. "Hey! I didn't know you were taking this class!" The loud blonde exclaimed.

The redhead looked up, sighing with a smile. "Hey Demyx." She said, getting to her feet to hug the blonde, Demyx. Roxas was shocked by how tall the other girl was. Sure, she was painfully short, but the redhead was more than the normal height. The dirty blonde took a seat next to the redhead, Roxas still hadn't caught a name for her, and began chatting animatedly her.

Presently, the professor joined the class. He was an odd man. "Hello!" He exclaimed, rushing up to the front of the class. "And welcome to whatever name they gave this class this year." He said with a smile, a slightly erratic one. "The truth is this class isn't going to be like anything you've taken before. We'll be looking at how people react to different things, and how people think. Oh, and abnormalities in all that. Now, it's been proposed that I could be studied as some of my past students have proposed that I am insane." He said, he didn't stay in one spot during this entire thing. Roxas could imagine him bouncing off the walls in cartoon form. He certainly acted the part of the loony professor.

"But frankly, I don't really care. Now, I could list out my credentials, but I'd rather just tell you this: If you pay attention, and if you try, you will learn a lot from me. There is quite a bit I can teach you, if you are willing to learn. If you aren't, I suggest you leave now. I won't waste your and my time with you. Now, let's take role. Oh, and I'm Mr. Briggs." He said as he bent down in front of a computer to the side of the room. "When I call your name, yadda yadda yadda. You all know the drill."

Roxas liked him. She spaced out for the role being called. It didn't really interest her. She said 'here' when her name was called, and caught a few of her class mates names. The girl with blue hair was called Rhiannon, but went by Rhi, and the redhead was named Axel. An unusual name, but she wasn't really one to talk. She had seen Axel's eyes flash to her when her name was called, a spark of interest in her eyes, but Roxas ignored the taller girl.

The rest of the class passed rather quickly. Mr. Briggs turned out to be a fascinating if erratic professor. He talked the entire period, getting completely off track, but amazingly interesting. She had loved it. It had been in the last five minutes of class that he had told them that for the first assignment they had, they would be assigned partners and they would have to come up with an experiment on how people reacted to abnormal behavior in a public place. She smiled. This was exactly why she had worked her ass off to get into this class. This was exactly the kind of thing that fascinated her. She gathered her stuff, and left the classroom, she needed to get coffee.

Roxas strode across the campus, she should go back to her dorm room, but she was tired, and she would have to walk all the way across the campus. So instead she headed for the coffee shop she had gone to once before that was nearby.

"Hey!" The redhead, Axel, stopped her about halfway across the quad to get to the coffee shop. She turned, struck by the green eyes again.

"Um, hey." She said, looking down at the ground, completely unsure of what to say, a blush brushed her cheeks.

Axel smiled. "I was wondering what you thought of our professor? A bit crazy, right?" She asked, walking forward in the direction Roxas had been travelling before. The blonde fell into stride beside her.

"Yeah, but totally amazing all the same. I mean, he's just so great! I mean there's just so much he has to teach us, you know?" She said excitedly, when she stopped talking, she seemed to realize how much she had said in a rush, she blushed a deep crimson, and stared at the ground once more.

The redhead laughed. "Yeah, I know the feeling. He was my professor my freshman year, I think he scared the shit out of most of my classmates. So did you just transfer? I mean, I haven't seen you around." She looked sidelong at the blonde, who blushed.

"Um, no I'm a freshman." She admitted, a little embarrassed.

"Really? But that class isn't for freshman, it supposed to be for upperclassmen who have already taken the sociology classes before."

"Um, well I tracked down like very teacher I've ever had and had them sign a piece of paper?"

Axel whistled. "Wow. I mean, you totally look it, but you're in that class, so I thought . . . Never mind." She said, looking away.

Roxas scowled. "Yeah, I'm short, so?" She demanded.

"No, it's cool, chill kid." Axel said with a smirk.

Roxas rolled her eyes. "I wasn't a kid a second ago. I've taken all the classes to get into the class. Same as you. Hell, I probably have more credits then you, so shut the hell up and stop acting like you're so much older than me." She snapped sharply, then blushed. "Sorry, I'm a wee bit sensitive about the height thing."

"Yeah, I get that. " Axel said easily. "Hey, where are you going anyway? Can I give you a ride?" She asked, stopping outside the coffee shop. Roxas smiled and pointed to the coffee shop. Axel smiled. "Well okay then. I might as well ask you what you want, I work here." She said.

"Um, latte?" Roxas requested. The taller blonde smiled and nodded.

"Ok, I'll bring it to you." She said.

"How much?"

"Nah, it's on the house." The redhead said, grabbing an apron as they walked in.

"What? Ok, thanks." Roxas said, going over to a comfortable looking chair and slipping into it happily. She pulled out her laptop, and waited for her computer to boot up. When it did, she started working on an assignment for another class. She quickly fell into the essay and only looked up to smile thanks to Axel when she brought over the latte.

Roxas didn't realize she had fallen asleep until she was shaken awake. Her eyes fluttered open, being met by shockingly bright green. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. "Sorry, how long have I been out?" She asked.

"Um, about three hours? We're closing up, it's eight." Axel said, smiling slightly. "I couldn't bring myself to wake you earlier." She smirked at the just waking up blonde. "So how about that ride now?" She asked.

Roxas yawned and shook her head. "Nah, I live on campus, so I'll just walk." She said with a slight smile. Axel nodded.

They walked to the door together, saying their goodbyes. They walked off in different directions, and Roxas quickly walked across the campus, the chilly air waking her up. The redhead watched the blonde walk away, she wondered about the girl, she was intrigued by her, but didn't quite know why, so she let it go for the time being. She walked to her car, quickly forgetting the blonde as she twisted the key, and was greeted with loud country music blasting from the speakers. She scowled, turning off the stereo as fast as she could, silently cursing herself for letting her friend borrow her car that morning. She switched it to one of her CDs as she pulled out of the student parking lot, smiling as the music filled the car. It had been a much better day then she had thought it would be.

End Note: So there it is, hope you liked it. Review? Please? I'd really love you to. Ok, so like I said, it might be like a week before I can put up the next chapter. I have these previously mentioned auditions, so I have to be places and jump through all these hoops. Not to mentions getting homework done is going to be a bitch. Well, I'm going to get some sleep while I can. Love you all.
