It came to lunch time. Roxas sat at the table next to the window by himself. He always sat by himself until today. Melanie spotted him sitting alone.
"Hey, Roxy-Roxy!" She says happily.
"Oh, hello, Melanie." Roxas said surprised. Melanie sat next to him. She had dark red hair with choppy bangs.
"So, you sit by yourself at lunch?" She asks him. Roxas nods his head.
"Well, that's going to change from now on. Twila and I will sit by you every day." She takes out her cell phone and shows him a text.
"What's that?" Roxas asked.
"It's a question from Twila. She wanted to know what you were doing. I told her you were sitting by yourself. She said to sit by you. I said OK, whatever. And then she sent me the '\(^.^)/' emoticon." Melanie says putting her phone away. Roxas nods his head quietly. He had nothing to talk about, so he asked about Star.
"Why do you call her Twila?" Roxas asked Melanie.
"Oh, that's because it's her real name. She likes being called Star though. I prefer not to use nicknames on myself. But you can still call her Star." Melanie said. Roxas nodded his head. The cafeteria was kind of quiet that day, but havoc was still coming. Every day at lunch, Demyx would visit him at his table. And it wasn't because he wanted to say Hello.
"Oh, no…" Roxas said looking down at his lap.
"What? You spilled your milk on your pants?" Melanie asked him quietly. Demyx walked up to their table.
"Hello, Roxas. I see you have company." Demyx says nonchalantly.
"Is he your friend?" Melanie asked him. Roxas shook his head silently.
"Oh, are you serious? Like I would ever be this weirdo's friend!" Demyx laughs loudly, banging on the table, and drawing attention.
"Could you please go away, Demyx? I don't feel like being teased…" Roxas asked quietly.
"What? Teased?" Melanie asked him. Demyx shook his head.
"No way, Roxy. It's way more fun to tease somebody when they don't want to be." Demyx reaches over the table and grabs his pudding cup.
"Hey! You can't do that!" Melanie said. Demyx looks at her while he drank his pudding cup. Then afterwards, he threw the rest of it at Roxas, making his shirt have a large chocolate spot.
"Shit smudge…" Demyx laughed and walked away. Melanie stood up angrily.
"That jerk! Who does he think he is?" Melanie shouted while handing Roxas her extra napkins.
"It's OK. He always does this. I tend to keep and extra shirt in my locker." Roxas said wiping the pudding off with his spoon. Melanie growled in anger and walked away from the table. Roxas sighed and continued to clean himself off. Melanie walked over to the table Demyx was at. He was sitting and laughing with Marluxia. Melanie stops at his table, picks up Marluxia's pudding cup, and throws it at Demyx.
"There! Now you have a shit smudge, too…" Melanie laughs obnoxiously and goes back to her table. Marluxia looks at Demyx and laughs.
"Ha ha! Shit smudge!" Marluxia points at him. Demyx stands up and leaves the cafeteria, red in the face. Roxas didn't see what happened so Melanie told him. Roxas was surprised.
"You just did that? While you were gone?" He asked. Melanie nods her head.
"Yep! I'm going to tell Twila about it after school. She's gonna be mad about missing out on the fun." Melanie says opening her milk. Roxas smiled.
"Thanks, Melanie…" He says.
"No problem! If he teases you again, I'll be there to beat the crap out of him, and if I'm not there, Twila will." Melanie says smiling. They finished their lunch and went their separate ways.
