There it was the door to my class. I knocked the door and opened it, the teacher inside looked at me like I had three head. "Ah, you must be the new student!" I froze on the spot, thinking non-stop of running away from here until I was interrupted by the teacher. "Come in, introduce yourself to the class if you dun mind." The teacher, she was dragging me inside the class room. I could feel the stares from the class.
Someone help me…
xXx
Everybody was staring at the late comer who appeared to be the new student. Sora was almost half asleep when he sat on his place after coming back from the hall. He looked at the late comer and discovered it was the kid who works at the sundry market! By the looks of it, he seemed nervous.
Roxas reluctantly walked toward the teacher's desk and introduced himself. "Hi… I'm Roxas. Roxas Kurosagi." He bowed down a little to show some respect to the others. Before he looked around the class, he heard a lot of the girls giggled and whispered secret to each other. Unable to suppressed his feeling, Roxas stared at the ground dumb founded.
"Now class, give him a warm welcome." The kind teacher was looking at Roxas smiling warmly as the class cheered for his arrival. "Why don't you sit with..." before the teacher told Roxas who to sit with, a lot at hand was up for picking. Sora was waving furiously. The teacher just sighed and chose him. She pointed at Sora for Roxas to know where he is seated.
Sora was extremely happy when Roxas was walking toward his place. As Roxas sit beside Sora, he can't keep himself under control. "Hey Roxas, remember me? I'm from the market!" Roxas looked at Sora for a while before nodded. "Yea, I remember… so – "Roxas was interrupted by the teacher.
"For those who dun know who I am. I am your home room teacher; I will also be your physical education teacher. You can call me Tifa." The teacher who she named herself Tifa tucked her black silky long hair to her back. "If you have any problem with you, you can confront me with your problem." She winked at everybody. She started taking attendance after her introduction.
Roxas just stared at her while Sora was day-dreaming about what they should do after this at the same time not paying any attention to the teacher. Roxas noticed and shook the brunet. "Hey, are you ok?" Sora snapped out of his fantasy and looked at him with a puzzled face. "I'm alright. So how do you feel about this school, Roxas?" He thought about it how a long time before replying, "It's great, I guess. I haven't been to all parts of the school ground."
Roxas felt a shiver down his spine when Sora's eye flashed for a milli second. "I can show you around the school if you want!" chirped the brown hair one. Roxas was thinking that if he declined it, what his reaction would be… but nevertheless he accepted. The teacher was looking at the class and sighed. "Alright class, today is the first day of school, this period will be a free time for you guys to chat." The whole class cheered loudly and began to shatter into several groups.
"Hehe, Tifa's the best teacher around her. Second to Aerith of coz!" Sora pointed out for Roxas. The two students in front of them began to turn around to meet them. One of them had a spiky dirty blond hair and the other one was a girl with auburn hair color. The girl spoke first by introducing herself. "Hi, I'm Kairi." She looked over the 2 of his friend. "So, Sora this is the guy you saw in the market? Are you two related?" The other boy then looked at two them after Kairi said about them being related. "Yea, you two look just like each other. I'm Tidus by the way." He flashed Roxas a grin.
Roxas didn't remember he had any relative… or he just didn't have his memory of the past. Unable to answer the girl's question, he shook his head… while Sora was thinking really hard about his relative. "I dunno, maybe I should ask my mom about it. What do you think Roxas?" At the mention of his name he shook his and said, "No, I never seen you before." He gave Sora a weak smile and hinted that he doesn't want to talk bout it anymore.
Ring!
The school bell rang loudly outside the classroom that signaled that the first period has ended. "Alright class, you can all go to your next class!" Tifa shouted at them loud enough to be heard. "And Roxas, could you come here for a sec?" Roxas was waiting for his teacher to speak. "I will wait for you outside." Sora whispered into his ear when he walked past him.
After the class was empty, Tifa began to question Roxas. "Roxas, here's your locker number and it's combo." She handed a paper that was written with a pencil with his locker number on it. "You have all your text books with you right?" Roxas nodded as he checked his messenger bag. "You may go now. Enjoy your high school here!" Tifa patted on his back and push him out of the class room. "Oh yea, I almost forgot. Here." Roxas handed the note from the nurse and slipped out of the class room.
Just outside the classroom, Sora was leaning against the wall. "Done?" he asked, Roxas handed him the paper with his locker number on it.
"Hmm… my locker is on the other block. But let me show you yours first." Sora dragged Roxas around the school to find his locker. Roxas was worried about their time, because there was only five minute left till the next class. Sora had dragged Roxas to from the second floor to the ground floor. "Ah, found it! What's your next class? Mine is history class." Roxas stuffed all his text books inside the looker and took out a paper with his schedule on it. "Thanks, let me see. I have Science now."
"You know where's the lab right?" Sora asked while he looked at his watch on his left wrist. "Erm, yes I guess." Roxas took out his school booklet once again and search for the direction of science lab. "Ok then, I gotta go to my class now. See ya later!" Sora waved farewell to Roxas.
"Science lab… let see…" Roxas examined the booklet in his hand and sported that said lab. "It's next to the cafeteria…turn right from he-" Roxas was walking and looking at his booklet at the same time as he didn't noticed the person he walked into. It's the second time I fall onto the ground for a day now… Roxas thought to himself and sigh.
"Are you alright?" the taller of the two was asking Roxas after his fall. After recovering from his fall, he picked up his thing and apologized to the person in front of him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't look at where I was going." Roxas bowed a little to avoid eye contact but it can't be help when that particular person stopped his bow.
"Haha, it's ok. You don't have to bow." A slim hand stopped Roxas' head from bowing lower. Roxas looked into the eye of the older student. Amazed by the teal orbs, on the other side, that student too gazed at his sky blue eyes. Why do I have a feeling I saw you before… Roxas thought to himself when they locked eye. This guy had this flaming red hair with light green eyes…
Axel suddenly recognized this kid who just bumped on to his back. It was the same kid that he brought to the nurse's office. "Hey, you're out off the nurse's office. Feeling better now?" Roxas looked at him and wander how he knew his whereabouts this morning. "How do you know that?" he asked the elder student. "Well, how should I say this...? I was the one who brought you there?" Axel smirked at the blonde as he made a surprise expression. "You are Axel then?" Axel just nodded to him.
"Where are you heading now?" without a second thought, Roxas told Axel about his science lab. "Good timing! I was about to head there too. Wanna go there together?" who would reject his offer, he seems to know his way around here. It's better than getting lost in the school. "Sure" Roxas nodded to him. "Thanks for helping me in the morning." He mumbled to Axel softly hiding his blush with his face facing on the floor.
"No problem, now let hurry to our class." Axel wrapped his hand around the smaller ones and pulled them to their next class. They walked pass the cafeteria and there were still some students left in the cafeteria trying to pursuit the food lady to sell them food. The whole trip was totally silent. Roxas was comfortable with silent and enjoying it, after all his life was always quiet. But Axel's was different, so he decided to break the ice.
"So… what year are you in now?" Roxas blinked at his question and answered back. "Second year I guess, you are in third year I presume?" Axel nodded as agreement but he received a baffled look from the younger one. "I failed my grade last year, so I'm repeating it." Axel grinned at him patting on his back. Is he a mind reader or what…? Roxas thought to himself but he let it go. "I see."
They reached their science lab and open the door. Inside the lab there were several rows with maximum of two seats. Only half of the lab was filled with students. Axel and Roxas took their seat beside a window. It showed the scenario outside clearly. Most of the tourists like to come here for a get away from their work.
The weather is always nice here, even though it rarely rain. The sky will always be the same, scarlet and bright yellow that fuses together almost forming twilight zone. Just like the town's name, Twilight Town. Sunset Hill is popular among the residents here. It shows the view of the twilight with outmost beauty. That about it with the town's famous twilight and not at least forget about sea-salt ice cream!
There was a low rumble when Roxas thought about the salty yet sweet ice cream, oh yea, he remembered that he didn't took any breakfast this morning… Axel looked over at him and nudged him on his side. A yelp was heard when he was nudged, he glared at Axel for making him make a sound like that. He's so cute when he is angry. Roxas had this weird feeling when Axel was looking at him and had this little fascinated smile on his lips.
The science teacher banged into the class and of cause a bang was heard. All the students glared at the yellow hair teacher with despise. Roxas was clueless about the whole commotion and looked at Axel for some answers. Before he could ask, Axel hushed with his index finger on his lips. "I will explain later." With that, he pretended to pay attention to the teacher by looking at front. Roxas doesn't know what to do, so he just simply paid attention to the teacher.
The yellow head wrote some words on the white board, Mr. Vexen. "I'm Vexen, your science teacher. The person that is seated next to you will be your science partner." Vexen was wearing a white science overcoat. He had this little circular spectacle around the bridge of his nose. His tone was kinda harsh, serious and evil? Roxas shuddered at his own thought. "Take out your text book and turn to page 5." Roxas took out his book and turned to the said page.
The Danger of Stupid Acts in a Science Lab.
Okay… the title is so lame… Roxas thought to himself while he read through the page. It was simply just rules of what not to do in the labs. Like no eating and drinking in the lab or you will get poison and other stuff like that. Vexen was handling out paper to all of us. The paper was a contract, between the parents and the school. Roxas looked at Axel, he was making a phony signature to cover his parents'. Roxas stared at him disbelieved at his doing, Axel just returned his stare with a smirk.
"Please pass up the paper I gave you tomorrow. We will be starting our first experiment first thing tomorrow. Any question?" Vexen put down his spectacle on the desk and looked around for any raised hands. "No? Good. Now please turn to page 10 for our experiment for tomorrow. Read carefully, I expect no mistake from all of you." After that he quickly went back to his desk and took out a stack of paper.
Roxas was reading the text book when he heard so evil laugh, but not too loud. After all they were seated on the second row. He searched for the origin of that laugh, Vexen was the only suspect he made, everyone was neither chatting with their partner or just plain reading the text book like him just before. There was a grin every time Roxas looked at the direction of his teacher.
The bell finally rang after a long silent reading. Axel cheered silently when they ventured out of the lab. "Can you explain what happened just now?" Roxas waited patiently for Axel to answer his question. "Sure Roxy, well all I can say that he, Vexen, is some of the teacher we should not get on their bad side." Roxas glared at Axel for calling him like that but he still nodded for the information. "I failed my grade last year because of him. Almost all of the students hate him." Axel stated and Roxas was totally surprised by that single fact. So…Axel 2 years older than me then… Roxas thought to himself.
"Come on, let's get to the cafeteria. I'm starving." Roxas forgot the fact that he was already hungry when he was in the lab. He was excited when he smelled the fragrant of some delicious foods from the cafeteria. By the time they reach the cafeteria, it was already full of students trying to get their meal. "Be careful here, people tend to push you if you are unlucky." Axel warned Roxas about the flow of students that were fighting over the same last pizza bread.
He went over to the counter to get what he wanted to eat. It is true… this school's foods is the most luxurious I had ever seen. Roxas amaze himself by taking some potato bread and a mushroom soup. Somehow he was separated from Axel, now he was facing a problem, where should he sit?
"Roxas! Here!" Roxas heard his name being called. He turned around and found a hand waving at him. But he didn't get to see the person's face. The cafeteria was getting crowded and he had no other choice but to go to there…
