~Redhead's Desire~

"Hi Axel~" A group of girls greeted when they pasted by our table.

"Hello ladies~" He winked at them causing an uproar of giggles. I rolled my eyes at the lovely sight.

"What's wrong Blondie, jealous?" He asked as I felt his smirk mocking me.

"Who would be jealous of you?" I snapped.

"Whoa, calm down kitten." He petted my hair, everyone else smiled or laughed in amusement.

It was lunch and of course, Sora thought it would be such an amazing idea to invite Axel over to our table. The bad thing was that he has to sit next to me. Not only that but I found out that he almost has every class with me, great…

"Axel, this is Riku, Demyx our cousin, Zexion, Pence, Hayner, Olette, Namine and Xion." Sora introduced pointing to each one of them around the circular table.

"Yo," Axel greeted.

"I can get how pretty boy here," Xion pointed at Riku. "Can get girls, but why do they like you."

Axel shrugged then smirked, "I dunno, maybe they like a boy who has that bad boy lifestyle. Isn't that right shorty?" He grinned as I almost chocked on my soda at the sudden new nickname, everyone burst out laughing.

"Wow the day's now even over yet and you already have three nicknames." Hayner said wiping tears away from his eyes.

Sora rested his head against my shoulder, "Don't worry Roxas, I still love you."

I wanted to slap my forehead, "Sora, we're the same height."

He frowned before whining, "I'm not short I am fun-sized!"

"Then what does that make me." I argued.

Riku took a breath, "Roxas let's be honest, even though you and Sora are twins. You two are complete opposites, there is no way in hell you are fun-sized." He said making everyone laugh even more.

I frowned having a mental debate on who should I kill first Sora's childhood friend, or the annoying cocky new redhead student.

"Ow Sora, what was that for?" Riku rubbed his arm.

Sora glared at Riku, "Say sorry, you too Axel."

"But it's too much fun to apologize now." Yep, looks like Riku's going to die first.

"If you want to live much longer and not die at a young age you should just apologize," Zexion stuffed his face into his book before muttering, "Even though there are three other people who are just as short." Too bad everyone heard it.

"Hey!" Xion hissed at her cousin, "Me and Namine are at least two inches taller than that pipsqueak!"

I banged my forehead against the table, not caring about the pain. This is what I have to go through with every day.

When the bell finally rung signaling the end of lunch, I was the first one up and out to the nearest exit I kept walking even ignoring Axel's call for me. I stopped by my locker to throw the unwanted books inside; next period was Xigbar's class. We barley did any work so I did not have to worry about anything.

I felt an arm drape around my shoulders, "Roxas. Why did you run away from me, you didn't hear me calling you?" A shiver went down my spine at the sound of Axel's husky voice saying my name and his hot breath against my neck.

I slammed the locker closed before turning to him, "Roxas?"

"Yeah," He dropped his arm and put his hands in his pockets. "That is your name isn't it. Besides you seemed really mad about you know, your height."

I scoffed before walking off to class with him right behind me. "Oh, so you really can show emotion somewhere through that cockiness of yours."

He chuckled, "I can really show you how much of emotion I have," I tensed up when I felt his muscular arms circle around my waist from behind and he whispered in my ear. "Maybe tonight we can hangout, I dunno like a date. I'll pick you up."

"W-wait, a date?" I stuttered and for one thing, I never stuttered. "You don't even know where I live." He released me, I then growled when he flashed me a cocky smirk.

"I'll just ask Demyx, or better yet Sora." He waved it off. I decided to stay quiet as we began to walk again to class.

"Hey, new student," Xigbar greeted causality when he caught sight of us. "Sit anywhere you like,"

Xigbar was the world history teacher, and had a strange way of teaching. However, that does not mean he is a bad teacher, in fact he's one of the best teachers in the school. I remember once when we were learning about pirates and their origins (don't ask why, I don't either), he had us dress up and role-play for the rest of the semester.

"Oh don't worry I will." Axel said back as he continued to follow me into the spacious classroom. I sat at the back table closest to the window and he took the seat next to me.

As the class was beginning to fill up, I caught sight of Sora sitting in his usual seat at the front table next to Riku. He caught sight of me staring at him and saw Axel sitting next to me who was chatting away with another student Yuffie.

Bring both his arms up; he made a heart with his hand. Shaking my head I mouthed a 'no' but he only grinned nodding and mouthing back to me a 'yes' before turning back around to talk to Riku. Ripping a piece of paper from one of my other notebooks, I crumbled it into a paper ball and threw it at Sora. I smiled in victory when the paper ball hit the back of his head causing him to flinch at the contact, Riku burst out laughing and he could only blush, embarrassed.

Most of the students that saw the scene laughed, Xigbar smiled when he made his way to the front of the classroom.

"Before class starts, everyone please give Roxas a round of applause for the perfect hit at the back or Sora's head." Everyone clapped. Sora tried to shrink down into his seat away from the embarrassing moment.

Oh Sora, as much as you are my most favorite brother, this is revenge for this morning. Furthermore, it is only the beginning.

"Roxas," I mentally cursed at myself for the slight shiver that went down my spine once again due to Axel's husky voice. "Remember we have a date tonight." I turned to him just as he sent me a wink.

I quickly turned back away when I felt face beginning to heating up. "W-what makes you think I'll actually go on a date with you." Instead of answering, all he did was chuckle. There was no way in hell I could be possibly falling for this cocky new redhead student, was I?
