Chapter 2

Sorry for slow updates. College really kicks my ass. But guess what? I graduate on the 19th of December (2014), so I'll be able to update more often.


With nowhere to go, and 15 minutes left of what would have been class, I head to my next class early.

Room 101, AP Art. My favorite class of the day.

"Hey Roxas..." Sora had apparently been behind me the whole time. "You want to borrow my headphones for art?" He continued. "Music will keep your mind off Axel."

"Fine." I state quietly entering the room, and taking the earbuds from Sora.

I take my place in the back secluded from the rest of the class while Sora takes his usual spot with Riku and Kairi.

I pull out my phone, but before I put the earbuds in, a figure looms over where I am sitting.

"Axel!" I hissed, "I said fuck off!"

I stand up to face Axel... but its not Axel at all.

"M-Mr. Melrose!" I sputtered.

"I-I..." I could not form coherent words.

"Its fine Roxas." My instructor reassured.

"I'm sorry Mr. Melrose, I've been having some issues lately..." I shrank back into my chair.

"If you want to talk after class we may." The older male offered.

"Eh... I think I'll be okay, if it gets any worse, I'll come to you." I answered.

As soon as my teacher walked away, all eyes of the what classmates had arrived were on me.

"Attention class." Mr. Melrose cleared his throat.

"We have one last assignment before we start our portfolios."

Everyone diverted their attention to the front of the room followed by the groans of having to cram to complete their portfolios.

I sank even further into my chair.

Hoping Axel wouldn't show up to class, I pulled my hood over my face and shuffled my music.

I ended up drifting into a dreamless sleep some time later.

"Roxas! Come on, we'll be late for the next class."

I woke to greet the land of the living, only to be startled by Riku.

"Geez, Riku?!" I jumped out of my chair.

Riku just laughed at me. I quickly gathered up my stuff, and glanced around the near empty room for Axel, only for him to be nowhere in sight.

Good. I don't need the likes of Axel Sinclair for the rest of the day.

"I guess Axel didn't show for class?" I questioned Riku.

"Nah. He probably skipped out." He answered. "Well, we better hurry to English class."

We rushed down the hallway to room 113, just as the bell was ringing.

Riku ran ahead of me, and just had made it inside the door before it was locked, leaving me outside. Säfer will mark me absent for sure.

Great. Just great, could this get any worse?

"Roxy!" A voice called from the end of the hallway.

Shit... it just did.

"Axel..." I fumed.

"Locked out too huh?" Axel paused. "I guess its just you and me." He cooed.

"Fuck off shithead. I don't need you ruining my day anymore." I stormed off, heading for the courtyard.

"Yo, Roxas, what's wrong?" Axel turned serious.

That's it. The last straw.

"You really want to know what's wrong Axel?" I spat.

"You! You're everything wrong with my life right now. I can't sleep at night because I wonder when I'll ever get to tell Xion how I really feel about her. Every time I go to talk to her, you're there. Why? Is it because you like her too?"

By now we had reached the courtyard.

"You think you're smooth because you're older?" I

slammed my fist into the wall.

"Or maybe you think yourself a badass because you cut class all the time?"

"Please tell me Axel Sinclair, why do you torment me?" I begged, on the verge of tears.

Axel looked hurt. "Roxas...its because I want to protect you..." He said half-heartedly.


Oh... so that just happened.

I'll probably be very slow updating, if any at all, but I hope to finish "Who's the Baby Daddy?", "Love's Influence on the Heart" and "Journey to Treasure Planet" by the new year.

And, I also have a surprise; I introduce, "Attack on Destiny" and "My Brother's Keeper" these unfortunately are more crossovers, I'm not original enough to write other fandoms yet. ^^

Further details will be released when I upload the stories.

*EDIT* (11/2/2015) I plan to get updates regularly now that I actually own a computer…
