M'kay, i never really did an authors note last time...because i forgot! xP Well, this is my story! It is shonen-ai so, if that insults you in anyway, don't read: This is a kinda short chapter. I think. It feels shorter than the first one. I dunno. xD. I like this chapter. Mainly because now the story actually gets rolling. I might do the next chapter in Axel's point of veiw. It would be good to hear his thoughts and feelings too. : WELL! I'm babbling so, i hope you enjoy and more should be up soon!

Oh and i don't own Kingdom hearts 2 or anything.

Chapter 2-The new boy

Demyx sat at the back of the classroom. His head resting on his hand as the words of the Miss Trepe bored him. Blue biro stained the paper in front of him with absentminded doodles. Mostly to do with water. Demyx was fascinated with water. The sight of it glittering as the sun reflected off it. The feel of it cascading down onto bare skin. Demyx couldn't get enough of the element. It was his sanctuary. Sadly, it couldn't save him from the sharp words of Quistis Trepe who now stood before him.

"Demyx! How many times have I told you to pay attention in my class?"

Ripping the piece of paper Demyx had been using to doodle on from the pad, she made her way back to the front of the class room to regain her long and tiresome speech, leaving Demyx to watch the clock tick stubbornly by.

"So as you can see the square root of x over 900…"

Demyx took his eyes off the clock for a moment to study the rest of the class. Of course, being the lively and friendly person he was, he knew most of the students surrounding him. Directly in front of Demyx sat Zell Dinct. Athletic, adventurous and class clown. Demyx watched as the blond boy scribbled onto a piece of paper and passed it to the boy sitting in the desk beside him. Squall Leonheart. Those who didn't know him would describe him as cold and arrogant. Yet, if he let you in, you could see he was a lot more caring. Unluckily, very few people were let into Squall's friendship group to see this. But at least Squall and Zell had each other. Though, their friendship confused Demyx. It seemed at first that all Squall would do was push Zell away. But Zell never gave up trying. In the end, Squall just gave way and began to acknowledge Zell as a friend. But even then, Demyx could see Zell wanted more. The way he looked at Squall. The way he was always there. It kind of reminded Demyx of…

Demyx didn't want to think of that right now. Shaking the thought out of his head, he continued to scan the classroom. The same faces sat amongst him. Until, Demyx noticed a new face in the front row. Short, spiky blond hair. A moody, yet mysterious look to him. Demyx had never seen this boy before. And why did he look younger than the rest of the class? Sighing, Demyx began to try and work out who he was. He looked a lot like that Sora kid from earlier. Maybe he was a distant relative or something. But why did Demyx even care? Whatever the reason for caring was, it didn't matter. Demyx couldn't stop letting the boy puzzle him.

Suddenly the bell rang, signalling the class to rush out of the classroom into freedom for an hour. Dragging himself off his chair, Demyx slowly walked out of the cramped and hot room and out into the crowded corridor. Pushing past the smaller strangers, he finally made his way out onto the field. The green wide open space before him welcomed him warmly. Finally a smile broke out onto his face as he spotted Axel smoking underneath the same tree they sat under every day. Making his way over, his smile grew as the red head spotted him and smirked.

"Hey Axe!"

Demyx grinned at his best friend as he sat beside him. He had to squint slightly as he turned to look at Axel. The sun sure was bright today. But that was ok to Demyx. It just made things look more beautiful. His eyes began to wander over the school grounds. Everything just seemed to shine. That was, until a hand was waved in front of his face, obstructing his vision. Turning his focus back to Axel, he watched as the boy continued to look half confused, half concerned at Demyx. His cigarette hung casually out of his mouth.

"I wish you would stop spacing out! One day you're going to space out and forget to breath or somat I swear…"

Sighing, the red head leaned back and rested his weight on his palms, gazing at the horizon himself.

"Hypocrite…"

Demyx mumbled before chuckling lightly to himself and lying back in the green grass. His hands placed comfortably behind his head. The younger boy sighed contentedly as he felt the sun rays heat his slightly tanned skin. Blanking out the noise of the other students rushing around, Demyx closed his eyes and began to doze. That was, until he was poked sharply in the ribs.

"Ow! Hey! I was relaxing…"

Demyx wandered off in mid sentence as he noticed Axel wasn't listening to him. Instead, he had his sights focused on a boy. The new blond boy from Demyx's math class…

"Who's he?"

Axel asked as he took a deep drag from the cigarette, still gazing at the blond.

"No idea…He was in my math class. Looks like a moody hormonal storm cloud if you ask me."

"Still kind of cute though…In a mysterious, yet moody hormonal storm cloud way."

Axel commented with a chuckle. Demyx gave the redhead next to him a stern, yet confused look. What the hell did Axel see in that? Backing up in his thoughts for a second, Demyx's eyes widened. Was he…Jealous? No, he couldn't be. Axel was just a friend…Right? Demyx shook his head and returned to focusing on glaring at the taller male. But instead, he faced a blank space. The mousy brown haired boy looked around panic stricken for a moment, before he spotted the familiar red spikes rising above the sea of heads. Before he knew it, Demyx had taken to his feet and was striding over to Axel. Opening his mouth to whine why Axel had left him, the water boy was left gawping when he saw Axel handing his number to the confused and slightly taken aback blonde from earlier. The look of shock turned into one of hurt as Demyx walked off into the crowd. He knew when he wasn't wanted…
