A/N: I've been in a bit of a weird mood the past few days. Creative Writing really does not help when I want to write fan fiction. All I can think about in that class is writing fan fiction. And that doesn't work well for a high school class, does it? Anyway, my moods have been bouncing up and down way too much lately to focus on school, so I'm going to use what little energy I have to write this. Thank you everyone that read/reviewed so far! It really does mean a lot. Please let me know what you think!

LLLLLLLLLL

As of right now, I'm not really sure what to think of school. So far it's been a big clump of confusing and it's only been a few hours.

Axel picked me up from school this morning. It wasn't really "picking" me up since he doesn't have a car. I asked him why he didn't. I clearly remembered him saying that he had a license. He just smiled at me and told me he needed the money. The way he said it told me he wasn't telling the truth. I didn't press it though.

As soon as we got to the high school, people swarmed around me. Of course I didn't remember a single face. A few seemed familiar, like Sora and Riku. Sora came sprinting up to me, crying and screaming about how much he missed me. The poor kid tried to hug me, but Axel stopped him. I ignored their half heated bickering as I stared at Riku. He looked at me with such a cold stare. I chose to ignore him as Axel pushed me through the halls to my first class.

It started out alright. I just found a seat to sit in and kept to myself through first period. It wasn't until second that things started to get a little crazy. I found my second class, English, and sat down in the back again. Two people came laughing in and eyed me.

"Roxas!" One of them shouted. I looked up. It was a girl with brown hair that flipped out a bit. Her bright orange shirt hurt my eyes. The boy standing next to her had blonde hair that spiked upwards. His camouflage pants hurt my eyes, too.

"Um...?" That was all I could say before the girl came running over to me. She put her hand on my head and ruffled my hair a bit as she sat down next to me.

"Woah, why'd you only shave a little patch? Didn't you say you'd never shave your hair anyway?" She said a little loudly. The boy that had been next to her slowly walked over to us. He sat down in an empty seat in front of us. The look on his face told me that something really bad was about to happen.

"Olette, I-"

"Why aren't you saying anything, Roxas? I was only gone for two months. It's not like you forgot me or anything." She laughed. And there's that sinking feeling I was dreading. The boy sitting in front of us appeared to have the same feeling as his face fell even more. Olette – that's a name Axel listed for me – stopped laughing. She looked between us.

"Olette, I couldn't get a hold of you, but-"

"I was in an accident. I can't remember anyone."

Does my voice normally sound that harsh? It almost sounded like I didn't care. I hope I didn't sound like that before. Olette stared at me with wide eyes for a minute before she burst into laughter. The other boy and I obviously saw no humour in this.

"That's a mean joke, Roxas! You're such a kidder, isn't he, Hayner?" She loudly said. Hayner – another name that Axel had listed – didn't look at her. He kept his eyes on me. It made me shift in my seat a little. God, when is the bell going to ring?

"He's not kidding." He slowly said. I think the seriousness of the conversation finally caught up with Olette. Her laughter stopped, her face faltering. Her bright smile faded into a tiny "o". I shrunk back in my seat and glanced at the clock. Only one minute until the bell rings for class to start.

"What?" Olette quietly said. I think she was talking to herself more than she was to us. Hayner's eyebrows turned upward, matching his frown. I glanced at Olette. I tried to find the right words to say, but nothing came to mind.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled to her as the bell rang. By now the class was flooded with excited students. Olette slumped against her seat, the same bewildered expression on her face. She didn't even look up when the teacher came in and started talking. I shot Hayner a look. He tried to smile at me but it looked painful.

I sighed as I looked away from him. This day is going to be hard.

"Wow, she took that worse than I thought."

"Axel, I'm really freaking out right now."

It was currently lunch. Axel and I found an empty spot in the hallway to eat. I had wanted to eat in the lunch room, but Axel said I needed a break from people. I think he did, too, but I didn't say anything. I told him what happened with Olette. I tried to talk to her after class, but she just walked away.

"I don't know, man, girls are confusing. She can't really be mad at you. It's not like you wanted to be hit by a car." Axel said. He wasn't being very comforting right now and it's making me angry.

"I don't know what to do, Axel! I want to make things better but I don't know how. C'mon, you remember how me and her were before. Is there something that we did together that could make her feel better?" My voice sounded so desperate. Almost like a kid begging to go play with friends. Axel scrunched up his face in mock thought and hummed to himself.

"Well... you guys used to hang out everyday after school in middle school. Then when you guys were freshies, she joined the soccer team. So you don't really do that anymore. Nowadays, you guys just passed notes back and forth to each other." Axel replied between mouthfuls of his lunch. A wide smile came across my face.

"Axel, that's it!"

"I know! Let's have a soccer game with the kid who just had brain surgery!" Axel shouted. He laughed as my face fell a little.

"No, you psycho. A note! I can write her a note instead of talking to her face-to-face. That'd be too awkward. This is the best plan ever!" I exclaimed. I took a happy bite out of my sandwich as the red head stared at me.

"You know... that's actually a really good idea." Axel mumbled. I smiled at him as I wiped some crumbs off my face.

"Well, duh, I came up with it." Axel laughed.

"Whatever. You better get started on that note. There's only two classes after lunch."

"Olette,

I'm sorry about second period. I should have more of an effort to make sure you actually knew about the accident. I just assumed that everyone did. If I could have remembered you leaving for your trip, I would have tried harder. So I'm sorry. I hope you're not mad at me or anything. That would really suck because I want to remember our friendship. I'm trying really hard. It actually made me happy that you weren't treating me like I was fragile or anything (even though you didn't know). So, where am I going with this? I don't know. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and I hope you're not mad at me.

Roxas."

I only read over it once before neatly folding it up. The bell for sixth period to end was going to ring any second. I had fifth with Hayner and he told me that Olette hangs out by the parking lot after school for her mom. He asked me why I needed to know that. I couldn't respond.

The bell rang and I sprung up from my seat. I rushed down the hall, fighting my way through kids much bigger than me. Finally, outside, I power walked the rest of the way to the parking lot. I want to give this to her today.

I came to the parking lot. I glanced around wildly for her. After a moment, I caught that horrendously bright orange shirt of hers. She was standing off to the side by herself. I broke into a steady jog.

"Olette!" I yelled when I got closer. She looked up at her name. When she saw me, she looked right back at the ground. I almost stopped jogging at that. Can she really be angry at me for something I can't help? I pushed that thought aside as I stopped right in front of her.

"What?" She quietly asked. I shoved the note in her face, suddenly angry.

"I know you must be mad at me or whatever, but I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm sorry for, but hopefully this makes things better." I replied. It took everything in me not to scream from nerves and my own anger. Olette looked up at me. Her eyes looked glossy. Like she was ready to cry.

"I'm not mad at you."

"What?"

"I'm not mad at you. Ok, well, maybe a little a first. But I'm not now. That'd be dumb." She replied. I just stared at her, dumbfounded.

"You're not?"

"No, I'm not. Thank you for the note anyway, Roxas." She smiled at me as she took the note from my hand. In that moment, as she was staring at me with that smile, holding the note in her fingers, something flashed across my brain. It was of Olette, but in a different place and time. She had that same smile, but instead of holding the note, she had an ice cream bar. Almost as quickly as it flashed, it went away. I stared at her for a moment before speaking.

"Yeah, no problem."

"I think I had my first memory today."

"Really?" Axel exclaimed. I laughed.

Axel found me in the parking lot long after everyone had left. He was angry at first, saying that he had looked all over the school for me. I think he was more worried than angry. I had just smiled at him and told I was fine.

For most of the walk home, I thought about that flashback with Olette. The more I thought about it, the more I decided that it was a memory. What else could it have been? I replayed it in my head over and over, secretly enjoying it. I had my first memory back. I don't want to forget it again.

"Yeah, I really did. I went to give Olette the note I wrote for her after school and I had a memory of her." I replied. I looked at Axel as I said this. At the mention of Olette, his smile faded just a bit.

"Really, of Olette? That's odd..." He trailed. I don't think he meant to say that last part out loud. I raised an eyebrow.

"Odd? How?"

"Well... we've been hanging out for two weeks straight and you don't remember anything about me. But you see Olette for one day and remember something weird about her." Axel replied. His voice sounded hurt, but his face remained calm. The more I stared at him, the better I could see his faint blush. I smiled to myself.

"Yes and no. When I talk to you about things, they seem familiar. It's like I'm almost remembering something, but then I don't. When I was talking to Olette and Hayner earlier – even Riku and Sora – things didn't seem as familiar. I don't know why, but they didn't." I said. I could feel Axel's eyes on me. It gave me goosebumps.

"I guess that makes sense, in some weird way." Axel quietly said. I suddenly became very sad, seeing Axel upset about me not being able to remember our past together. I began to panic about the other memories I still didn't remember.

"Axel, do you think I'll get all my memories back?" I suddenly asked. Axel scrunched his face in mock thought like he had earlier. I think he was trying to lighten the situation. It helped a little.

"It's hard to say. But, my god, I hope you do." Axel said. I think he was talking more to himself than he was to me. I looked at him with wide eyes for a moment. That familiar prickling feeling came in the back of my head, but no memories came forward. I sighed as I looked away from Axel.

"I hope I do, too."

LLLLLLLLLL

I know it's short, but there's not much else I can do without spilling over to the next chapter. I'm still not 100 percent sure what I'm doing at this point, but I do know how I want it to end. I hope that everyone is enjoying it so far! Please let me know what you think!
