Bad Boy's and Blondes
Chapter 2: Surprising questions and missing bad boy's
As Aqua raced up the staircase Ven had taken only one step at a time as he tried to hold off on time and wait for Terra to catch up to them. His head had been slightly turned as he tried to see if the brunette was following them.
"You know he's not coming, right?" Aqua said as she waited at the top of the stairs. Ven looked up at her as she stood there with her hands on her hips and an eye brow rose in a smart aleck look.
"Yeah, I know. But when will we see him again?" He asked as he got to the last three steps.
Aqua shrugged. "Usually he gets back around second hour. But it's not like Mr. Xehanort had kidnapped him." She then turned and continued to walk down the hall.
Ven rolled his eyes in annoyed away as he knew that Terra was not kidnapped. But he still had his curiosity level on red alert. He then raced up to Aqua side as he looked at the grey lockers that where plated into the walls. That's when he came to a sharp stop.
"Here we are Mr. Flynn's room." She said looked up at the door as it read 208 in black bold numbers. "I have art so I'll leave you to Roxas. He has him first hour also. Good luck!" She waved before walking down the hall.
Ven then felt the same nauseous feeling as he saw that the halls were empty. He must not have heard the bell so he was either late or early. But that still bothered him. He hated being the center of attention with teacher (or adults in technical terms). Whenever he had to talk to adults he would have a bad feeling that he was going to say something out of the ordinary and embarrass himself. So he hardly ever spoke to anyone unless it was family members.
He then opened the door slowly as he saw that no one was sitting in the row of desk but in front of the desk was a bigger desk. Behind that desk was a redhead that's hair when into a spikey mane. His eyes were a bright shade of green and had upside down teardrops under them.
The redhead then looked up to see Ven. "Roxas, aren't you supposed to be taking that exam you missed last week?" he pointed his lead pencil that he held in his hand toward Ven.
Oh great… He thought. Another person that thinks I'm Roxas. He then walked through the door completely and shut it behind him. "Actually, I'm Roxas younger brother. The principal told me to come early." He played his hands trying to block out the nervous feeling he was having.
"Oh, so you're the new student I was informed about. Man, you do look like Roxas." He then stood up and walked over to the blonde. "I'm Mr. Flynn but I'm the cool teacher everyone likes so you can call me Axel. Got it memorized?"
Ventus couldn't help but laughed before a quick nod. "Roxas mentioned you once. He said you're his favorite teacher and something else. I couldn't really understand him."
"So what classes do you have me for?" Axel leaned back against the front of his desk.
"Uh…" Ven reached inside his shoulder bag and pulled out his schedule. "First, fourth, and eighth." He then saw the smile that the teacher had on his face.
"So what all has Roxas told you about me?" Axel reached over his desk and began to play with a spare pencil.
"Nothing really, just that you're a great and fun math teacher and all the students call you by your first name." Ven walked over to one of the spare desk and placed his bag on top of it.
"Did he tell you that all the students and teachers know that I'm openly gay?" Those exact words made Ven gasp.
"You are?" Ven turned and saw the teacher looking at him questionably.
"What? Do you have a problem with gays?" Axel's voice became harsh for a moment there.
"N-No….but then you know that-"
"Roxas is gay." Axel finished.
Ven was surprised at how he knew that. But sense Roxas was also openly gay he would have figured as much. But he still questioned at why the teacher knew. Even his parents did not know.
"How did you know that?" Ven then turned his entire body toward Axel.
The redhead shrugged. "He told me one day when he was in detention and crying about how everyone was making fun of him because of he was gay. That's also when I confessed that I was gay."
Ven circled his head in understanding. "So now he doesn't care what people say about his homosexuality?"
Axel bucked his head backward when he heard Ventus say 'homosexuality'. "Don't know I haven't heard him talk about it lately." Axel then walked around his desk and straightened the papers that where left in a messy pile beside the computer. "So are you gay?"
Ven then gasped and froze. He did not want to answer because for one thing; he was confessing to a teacher! Another thing was that he did not know if he was gay or not. "Well….." He took in a large breath.
Axel rose and eye brow at him when he hesitated. "Let me guess," Ven then turned to see his leaned against the chalkboard for support. "You don't know if you're gay or not so you consider yourself straight. But you're really bisexual. Am I right?"
Damn he was good at guessing. "Okay now I know Roxas has talked about me!" He said turning to the redhead.
Before Axel could continue the bell rang and he snickered at the blonde. He looked up at the clock and crossed his arms. "Ven you can sit in the second row third seat."
Ven nodded when students began to walk in and laugh with other or walking over to talk to Axel. Ven put his head down on his arm and hid his face as he was still tired from this morning. He always did hate mornings even if it was Summer Vacation, he hated waking up.
"Hi stranger," A cheerful voice called as a hand clamped down on Ven's desk. Ven looked up to see Naminé standing there with a smile. "I guess you got Axel for first hour, huh?"
Ven smiled with a nod as Naminé sat down in the desk on his right. "Just to make sure, you're Ventus right?"
Ven nodded. "I guess it's going to be hard sense Roxas is in this class also." A small laugh came from his lips.
She giggled softly. "Yeah, I hope Axel saw through which one is which."
Ven shrugged. "Well, when I came in he called me Roxas but now he should know I'm Ventus. And by the way, like Roxas said, you can call me Ven for short."
Naminé nodded before she looked up to see Roxas walk in. "Well there's Roxas now. I'm sure, if he hasn't already fingered it out, he knows that there are two of you."
Ven nodded and watched as Roxas walked over to Axel and leaned on his desk. He looked to be whispering in to Axel so no one could hear. Even though the class was loud enough so if you were sitting in the front row you shouldn't be able to hear them.
"Hey Ven," Naminé gestured her hand for Ven to move closer to her. When he did she cupped her hands over his ear and whispered, "Are you and Roxas both gay?"
Ven gasped and pulled away. He did not want her to know that he was in case she tried asking him out. And besides, she was pretty cute. He looked at Roxas then back to Naminé. "No I'm not," He whispered. "But you know that Roxas is right?"
She nodded when they pulled away to a distance where regular people would talk and did not whisper. "Yeah, but I think it's a bit strange that you're not because I always thought that Identical twins are exactly alike. Including what type of sex they like. But that just shows how much I know."
Ven looked up and saw Roxas begin to walk his way but stopped when he saw Ven. His eyes went wide in surprise and a smile was placed on his lips. He continued to walk toward him and sat in the seat on Ven's left.
"Well looks like you got Axel's first hour with me." He said setting his bag under his feet.
Ven nodded. "I just hope people don't get us confused." He turned his body forward and leaned back a bit.
"Hi Roxy!" Naminé swooned waving her hand from the corner of Ven's eye.
Roxas pulled his first two fingers up and gave her a peace sign as a way of saying, "Hey what's up?"
Then the tardy bell rang. Ven straightened up and Axel finished up what he was doing on the computer. "Alright, as you all know yesterday I said that first hour was going to have a new student."
Oh no…. Ventus groaned in the back of his mind. Sometimes he thought that the world just loved to put him in the center of attention. He hated it and the world.
"Right behind Adam is Ventus, Roxas brother," Everyone's eyes turned to the blonde. He then tensed up. "Or Ven for short."
Thanks Axel…. He tried desperately to hid himself but still felt every eye on him.
"Now let's take role," He said. He then mumbled a few names as Ven could tell that he knew where everyone sat so he knew if they were here or not. Ven then began to relax as he saw some of the attention he was getting before was now slowly fading back to Axel.
"Vanitas?" Axel called. No one answered so Ven could tell that whoever this Vanitas was he wasn't here. "Well looks like bad boy's not here today." Bad boy?
Then there was a small tap on Ven's arm. He turned to the hit and saw Naminé leaning in to tell him something but she seemed to have her eyes on Axel.
"Word of advice, don't hang out with Vanitas. He's bad news." She whispered making sure that Axel did not hear her.
"I would listen to Naminé." Ven then turned to Roxas. "He may sound cool but he's a lowlife bitch."
Naminé nodded in agreement before they continued to listen to Axel. But who was Vanitas? Ven did not even know what he looked like so how was he supposed to stay away from him? But then again it might have been better if Ventus did not know who he was or what he looked like. Besides he never did talk to strangers.
For the rest of the hour Ven hid his face by laying it on the desk. He tried to imagine what Vanitas looked like but it was nearly impossible for him to see it. Then the bell rang snapping him out of his day dream.
"Hey Ven," Naminé walked up to him after throwing her back over her shoulder. "What's your next class?" She asked as Roxas came up to his side.
He then pulled out the paper and saw that he had science next. "Science with Dr. Vexen,"
She gasped. "Weird I have that too! I guess I'll be taking you then."
Roxas nodded. "Alright, Naminé can take you. I have to talk to Axel anyway."
Once lunch came around Ven had decided not to eat and walk around the school and check out some of the most famous spot that mostly everyone sat. He didn't see Roxas but he was expecting him to be at lunch with the other.
But what was really on his mind was this bad boy everyone was talking about. The way Roxas and Naminé were talking about him was almost….interesting. But he knew that Roxas was always right, sadly.
Ven then caught a flash of brown in his eye. He looked up from his feet to see Terra walking with his hands in his pockets and a spaced out look on his face. He hadn't even noticed Ven and was staring at the ground.
"Terra!" Ven called.
The brunette then looked up and immediately smiled before waving at the blonde. As they walked up to each other Ven's mind had gone almost completely black but for that one question he was wondering about. How did Axel know so much about him when and still know nothing at all?
"Hey Ven, how's your day going?" Terra's voice sounded almost proud and strong.
Ven shrugged as he didn't know what to say. "Okay, not the best so far but it's going okay."
Terra couldn't help but chuckle at the boy's smile.
Then a thought came to Ven's mind. "Uh Terra," He paused unsure if he should ask about Axel's knowledge or information on Vanitas.
Terra gave a confused look at him.
Then he knew he was more interested in Vanitas and could worry about Axel later. "Do you know anything about….Vanitas?"
Terra was a bit taken aback but almost turned away as though he was trying to hide the answer. "Well…."
Ven looked up at Terra's hesitation and tilted his head to the brunette. He saw Terra reach back and scratch the back of his head nervously.
"Why do you ask?" He shook.
Ven knew that he wasn't going to tell him right away. "Well I heard about him in first and I'm curious." He shrugged.
"Oh," Then Terra gasped. "Didn't Roxas tell you to meet him at the gate?"
Ven too gasped and tightened his grip on his bag. "Dang, I forgot about that. I guess I'll see you later." He then waved and raced down the hall.
Terra watched as the blonde snapped around the corner. "Vanitas is going to crack by the time Ventus introduces himself." He murmured to himself.
Ven passed most of the students as he stumbled toward the gate. He got lost a few times but soon found the way and huffed when he got there. He looked up and saw Roxas leaned up against the wall with his arms crossed and had an aggressive look. His eyes where shut so he hadn't noticed Ven.
Ven nervously walked over to his brother as he was still worried that Roxas was mad at him. He was short –tempered anyway.
"You're late." Roxas' voice was a low angered tone which made Ven shiver.
"Heh…yeah I kind of went rouge and decided to roam around campus." Ven nervously scratched his arms as Roxas pushed himself off the wall and walk up to Ven.
Roxas rolled his eyes and put his hand on his hips. "At least you're alive." He sighed in an annoyance way. "Come on, Kairi and Naminé are probably crying sense I'm not there."
Ven was still surprised that Roxas was still hanging out with girls when everyone knows that he's gay. But he was impressed that he didn't mind if others made fun of him.
Once they got to the football field they saw Naminé and Kairi texting each other and giggling about something that usually annoyed boys, including Roxas and Ven.
"Hey ladies," Roxas greeted before sitting beside Kairi and looking over shoulder to her phone.
"Hi Roxy," The twins waved simultaneously.
Ven rolled his eyes before sitting at Roxas side and staring down at his knees. "So what're you two doing?" Roxas asked pulling away from Kairi's shoulder.
"Texting Sora." The twins said again in unison.
"Oh, why's he not here anyway?" Roxas again leaned forward to the redhead. But before the two could answer Roxas interrupted saying, "And let Naminé say it only."
Naminé huffed in pride. "He got sick last night and this morning he had to go to the Emergency Room. But he's alright, or so he says."
"Oh, I hope he feels better."
"Who's Sora?" Ven asked as he leaned forward to where everyone could see him.
"He's Riku's boyfriend and 'The Bad Boy's' twin brother." Kairi turned to where she was sitting straight now.
"Really what kind of twins are they?" He asked.
"Identical but there's only two things to tell them apart." Naminé started. "Vanitas has black hair and yellow eyes. And Sora had brown hair and blue eyes, unlike you and Roxas."
"Who can you guys tell me and Ven apart?" Roxas asked.
"Well we just meet Ven so we can't tell yet. But if we had to pick…." Naminé then leaned toward the boys and scratched her chin. "Roxas has more checkered boards and Ven had more green colors."
Roxas and Ven turned to each other and nodded in agreement.
Then rang the bell which made them all turn to the building before they all stood and picking up their bags. "Oh, Ven," Roxas grabbed the others arm and turned him to him. "I can't go home with you today, I got detention."
"Oh…" Ven sighed sadly. "Alright, I'll tell mom you said hi." He then waved to his brother and walked toward the building.
"Hey Ven," Kairi then rushed up to the blondes side. "Can I uh…." Ven could tell she was nervous at her hesitation and her blush that was spread across her face. "Can I walk with you to you…class?"
Ven was surprise when she flustered her eyes to him. "Uh…sure, Naminé won't mind?"
Kairi then gripped Ven's arm and set her head on his shoulder. "Nah, besides she's a lesbian."
Then Ven's jaw dropped. "What?" He yelled turning to the redhead.
Kairi pulled her head away and gave him a confused look. "You didn't know? She's with a girl named Xion. They're like the perfect couple."
Ven's jaw again dropped. But he knew that there were still a lot more secrets that will come in his life. But this was one of those ones that he would never have guessed. But he still hadn't told anyone about him being bisexual. Then his head got stuck on what Axel had said. But he ignored it as Kairi again wrapped her arms around his and her head on his shoulder.
