Confrontation

The next couple of days went by pretty fast since she was home for those days, catching up on her sleep. Sleep is just a word for avoiding something you don't want to deal with. But on the third day, she knew she couldn't stay home again... It would triple the homework and she would fall behind for sure. Not only that, but her parent's would start asking questions about it. Not that they haven't already... But she didn't feel like dealing with more interrogations.

Lifting her head up from her folded arms, she looked around at the classroom as the warning bell sounded through the halls. She watched the students fill up the room, she found herself a little disappointed when she didn't see a certain messy haired blondie. Frowning a little, she set her head back down on her folded arms as she stared at the chalkboard with a bored expression.

This day was about to suck...

She heard someone sit behind her, and twitched at the sound of breathing in her ear. "Hey, Piper-" WHAM! The red-head jerked her hand back, hitting Demyx smack-dab in the face with the back of her hand.

"Ow... Hey, that wasn't very nice..."

"Neither is breathing down someone's throat. Why are you in Roxas' seat?" She asked curiously.

"Roxie's getting a seat change! The teacher just decided it might good for his sa-" He took in Piper's annoyed expression and smiled a little nervously. "I mean, he thinks it will keep the class in check... So that there aren't any problems-"

"And he puts you behind me?"

Demyx poked his two index fingers together with a pout forming on his lips. "Is that a bad thing? I'm not a bad person."

"No, you're just annoying."

Demyx huffed a little at the insult before turning his head a little bit. "Fine. I just won't talk to you then."

"Thank you."

Piper twitched at the sound of Demyx drumming his fingers with impatience. Apparently, he had a difficult time keeping his mouth shut. But before he could open his mouth and break the 'silence' , he was interrupted by the classroom door opening. Only to reveal Roxas.

"Sorry I'm late! Lack of sleep~" He said, tossing a late pass to an annoyed teacher.

"Have a seat." Xemnas drawled.

"Gladly."

Roxas turned and looked confused when he saw Demyx in his original seat. He looked around to see if anyone else had to change their seats. The teacher told him where his seat was and Piper smirked a little when he was assigned the seat right next to her. Demyx's jaw-dropped at the decision.

So much for keeping the class in check...

When Roxas sat down and got comfortable while burying his face in his arms, Piper lifted her leg and kicked the front leg of his desk. This startled him, making him jerk his head up with wide eyes. "I'm up!" He announced, making a few students around him snigger at his reaction and it earned him a glare from Xemnas. He looked to Piper finally and frowned.

"What was that for?"

"So, I hear you like to do illegal stuff- I have to say, that's the last thing I expected from-" She was interrupted when Roxas' hand shot out and covered her mouth without thinking.

"Shhh."

Piper grabbed his wrist and jerked his arm down so her mouth wasn't concealed. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed at him.

"What? You don't do a very good job at hiding it if Gaige found out about it."

"What do you want?"

"What do you mean?" Piper asked, blinking with curiosity now.

"For your silence. Do you want money or...? At least let me explain-"

Piper laughed a little bit at the question like it was the most absurd thing she's ever heard. "I'm not interested in anything you have to offer... Well... Actually maybe I do. And I want to hear your explanation." She grinned.

Fuck.

Evelyn: I apologized if this chapter seemed a little … Blah. Review, pretty please? :D
