DAY 1
------
I cautiously approached the door to Dorm Number Nine, and knocked. It was a silent knock, as I was slightly freaking out now. I had seen some pretty scary looking kids just walking to get my papers from the office...some were smoking, some with a million piercings, and it was creepy...but I knew I could last here. Heck, I probably looked like half of them.
I had already gotten my schedule and other things like that. While I had been in the office, I realized just how many kids really did go here. Before, I had thought my mom was just trying to freak me out, but boy, was she right. Every place I passed had a ton of kids doing something or another. The dorm rooms could hold up to 30 kids each. At least, that's what I had heard, and knowing that, it was probably true.
After a moment or two of waiting, two girls answered the door. The older looking one had long brown hair tied back in a braid and green eyes, while the younger one had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a thigh length white dress. They both smiled at me.
"You must be our new roomate. I'm Aerith, and this is Namine," The brown haired girl said, gesturing to herself, then to the blonde.
I smiled a bit, "I guess I am. I'm Chie."
Aerith grabbed the smaller one of my bags and led me up the stairs to my room. Namine followed up silently, speaking up to point out anything important that Aerith forgot to tell me about. They told me that I had no roomate yet, but there were some students who hadn't arrived. Then they showed me my bathroom and the other important rooms. The dorm was huge, with space for a ton of people, and the roof was a garden that my dorm mates tended to, and now, so would I.
Namine spoke up, "You're in luck. This dorm is really close. We all care about each other a lot. Plus, tonight everyone is here. It's movie night."
The two left me up in room to start unpacking. I didn't really want to unpack yet; I just wanted to go meet my dorm mates. Of course, I was nervous, seeing as I probably didn't know any of them. I looked up at the mirror that was hanging on the wall. My hair didn't really look all that bad, especiall since I'd been sitting in a car all day. I had cleaned my lip piercing the other day, so it was nice and shiny. I grabbed my sweatshirt and threw it on, deciding to keep warm. I'd learned very quickly that the dorms didn't tend to keep the heaters and AC off whenever possible.
I left my room and headed downstairs, where I assumed everone would be. Once I was at the bottom of the staircase I followed the voices I heard to the main sitting room. As I appeared in the doorway, everyone looked at me. My eyes traveled to each and every one of them. Aerith had a smile on her face, "Everyone, this is our new dorm mate-"
"Chie?" One of the guys asked incredulously, standing up. He had bright flaming red hair...two tattoos...
"Axel? No way!!!" I ran over to him and hugged him, and he hugged me back. I heard a couple people gasp. I guess Axel still didn't like people hugging him...or touching him in general. We were both in shock. I hadn't seen him in ages because he never got a break. He wanted to move up a grade because he started a few years late.
"I've missed you so much, Ax..." I told him, and he smiled.
"I've missed you too, Chi," he responded.
All of a sudden, the blue-eyed boy sitting on the couch, next to where Axel was sitting, gasped. His eyes widened, "Chie? Like, Chie, Chie?"
I turned and looked at him. Axel sat down and motioned for me to sit on his lap. I felt safe again with him. All the nights without him were hell. Even school sucked. The blonde stared and me and I stared at him.
He began to whisper something quietly, and the he got louder, "Look towards the moonlit sky..."
"...And you'll see me in the stars," I responded, along with two other boys. We all looked at each other.
"I.... I guess that paopu fruit really did work," I said laughing quietly. I couldn't believe it, really. It was the twins...and Riku too, of course. Roxas pinched my arm, then his own, and I gave him a funny look. He shrugged.
"I was making sure we weren't dreaming," he said.
I rolled my eyes, and Riku smirked, "So, how'd you get into this school? You are a year younger than us..."
"I went to that excel school, remember? I skipped a grade 'cause I was ahead." I told them. The excel school did promise skipping at least one year. It was nice though, since it meant I got to see these guys again. A guy with silver-blue hair stood up and left, taking with him a thick book. A blonde boy with a mullet followed him. We all watched them leave, and a few moments later, they returned.
The blonde with the mullet smiled at me, "Hi! I'm Demyx. That emo kid over there is Zexion. I'm assuming your name is Chie."
I nodded. The rest of the group introduced themselves, except for a few quiet ones who had their friends do it for them. Then they decided that we needed to watch the scariest movie possible. Apparently, every Sunday was scary movie night, which didn't make sense, because we all had school the next day. I looked around and smiled. I was sitting in between Axel and Roxas, all of us extremely interested in the movie. Aerith, Namine, and a guy with pink hair, Marluxia, I think, all left the room, not really wanting to watch anything with violence. Sora and Riku were sitting with another blonde and all them stayed to watch the movie. Though I did notice Sora flinch a lot, which I knew he would.
After a few minutes, I smelled something cooking in the kitchen. I guessed that was what the three that left were doing. Two of the girls were way too into the movie, but kept complaining about the lack of gore...and it was a pretty gory movie. Zexion was reading, obviously paying no attention to the movie, while Demyx hid behind him every time he was afraid. I could tell that this dorm really was close, and I know I would fit in here, for once.

DAY 2
-----
"Chie, why are you following me?" Zexion asked, clearly annoyed. He didn't seem to like me too much, but Axel did tell me he was like that to everyone for a while, until he really got to know them.
"Because my class is in this direction too. Duh," I responded.
"Who's class?" He asked, and I could tell he was hoping it wasn't the same class as his.
"Uhm... Professer... something," I responded, being unable to remember what his name was. He sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Professor Ansem?"
I nodded. Zexion seemed to look mad, but calm. It was rather weird. I looked around and confirmed that this school would be like every other school in the world. Each clique was separated in their own little groups, carefully avoiding the others. As we finally entered the room, I was surprised at the lack of kids in the class. There were maybe ten students total. I knew this class was an elective, but I still thought there would be more people. Zexion glanced at me before he went to sit in the back of the classroom. I stoof awkwardly at the front of the room, having no idea of what I should do.
"Xirion, Chie?" A deep voice asked, and I jumped slightly, and turned around.
"That's me," I said, and the man motioned for me to step closer.
"I'm professor Ansem, your teacher," He said as he picked up a pile of papers and read something on the of one, "You're taking this class because you to, correct?"
I nodded, and he continued, "You haven't missed much. I'll give you the work you've missed after class. Your partner will be Nomura." "Uhm... who's Nomura?" I asked. It sounded familiar.
"Ah.... right. In this class you will be called by your last name. For instance, you'll be called Xirion," He said, "Nomura, please stand up."
With a sigh, Zexion stood up, setting his book down. I walked back and sat next to him. I could tell he wasn't extremely happy about working with me. The late bell rand a moment later.
"Today, we will be doing a study on animals in the natural habitats. I will assign each pair with a different mammal."
------
"God, if you don't like me then just say it," I told Zexion as we sat down for lunch. I had practically followed him the entire morning. All of our classes were either together, or near one another. He took a bite out of his sandwich, made by Aerith, ignoring me. I sighed. He had acted like this the entire day.
"I don't," He said quietly after a moment.
"I mean, I'll leave if you-" I began to say, not hearing his previous comment. "I don't care if you follow me. You're not that annoying," He said a bit louder. That surprised me. I didn't really expect him to actually put up with me. Then again, he was friends with Demyx... and that kid was crazy. I was confused.
"Then why don't you talk to me at all?"
"Because..." He sighed, "You wouldn't understand yet."
"Please, Zexion?" I asked, puppy dog eyes out.
"Have Axel explain it to you later," He responded nonchalantly, taking another bite.
"Ugh... Fine." I looked down and unwrapped my sandwich. It was the first time in a while that I had actually had a decent lunch. I took a bite and savored it. As I took another bite, I heard laughing, and it was getting closer to us.
"Look," One of the boys in the group sneered, "Zexy has a new friend, and look! She has a lip piercing! So scary!"
"Shut it, Saix," Zexion growled, glaring at the boy. I was unsure of what to do. "Aw, how sweet! He's protecting her!" A different one said.
I growled, "I didn't know they allowed wimps that can't take an insult at this school."
The blue haired one, Saix, glared and left with his posse following. I guessed they just wanted to hear me speak, seeing at that was the worst insult I could come up with. My expression changed to confusion. I looked over at Zexion, surprised to see that he was smiling, "I didn't think you'd have it in you to do that…"
