Okay, AllieReade was the only person who guessed what class they're in now. I don't feel like rambling right now. So here's the next chapter. Hope you like it
Demyx pulled his guitar out of the closet and Zexion sat behind a drum set. Zexion could hear Demyx tuning his instrument, but thought nothing of it.
"C'mon Zexi, strike a few!" Zexion looked up to see Demyx pointing at him dramatically. His only reaction to this, though, was cocking his head to the side at the nickname. But he shrugged it off and started a fast beat rhythm.
Demyx plucked a few strings, but then began playing, improvising with Zexion's beat. They continued this for another minute or so before Larxene walked in.
"Alright you guys, settle down and be quiet!" Everyone silenced as they turned their bodies to face her. Larxene was their music teacher, although no one ever called her by her last name like all the other teachers. The reason; She acted more like a student than a teacher.
"Alright girls…and my few random boys…Today seems like a good day for an assignment, wouldn't you think?" Most of the class groaned at the word 'assignment'.
"Now, now. Keep an open mind. You don't even know what the assignment is yet, you might really enjoy it" She sat on the piano bench. "So I'm going to have you all to get into groups of however many people you want and write your own song with lyrics! And then you're going to perform your song in front of our class and we'll have a vote. The two groups that get the highest number of votes will play their song in front of the whole school at the end of the year concert!" She grinned at all the students watching her. "Oh! It's also worth 10 of your overall mark" More groans. "Now get into your groups. I'll give you until next Friday of class time to work on this project. That gives you eight classes, then you're on your own until the end of the month"
Everyone stood up and moved around to get to their friends. Demyx smiled at Zexion. "You, me, and Namine. That okay?" He asked. Zexion nodded.

Pretty soon, Namine was sitting next to Demyx, playing a violin. Zexion watched her, simply amazed at how much she came up with while Larxene was talking.
When she finished, Demyx jumped up with his guitar. "Play it again, I'll try to play along. Then we'll do it again for Zexi" The girl nodded and played again.

We played it through a few times. Both Demyx and I had a chance to play along and we also played with all three of us. So far, so good.
I looked up when Demyx suddenly stopped playing, and saw him clap. "This is totally awesome! We sound great!" I smiled at his enthusiasm.
Namine smiled and set down her own instrument, as her neck was getting sore. "Are we all going to contribute to the lyrics?"
"Erm…" Demyx scratched the back of his head. Something he seemed to do a lot. "I'm no good at lyrics…" He admitted and smiled sheepishly. He reminded me of a child somehow.
"I'll do it," I said without hesitating. "I'm pretty good at poetry anyway" I saw Namine smile at me and nod.
We had a chance to play the song two more times before the bell chimed, signaling us that third class was over. I watched as Demyx quickly put his guitar back into its case and put it back into the closet. I didn't have to do anything with my instrument because, well, it's a fucking drum set. Where the hell do you hide a drum set?
Demyx was quickly by my side again and we left the class together. "Hey, d'you wanna come over after school?" Demyx asked and I looked at him, a bit shocked. I thought for a moment and then nodded.
"D'you wanna hang out with me for lunch too?" Demyx asked me and I quickly smiled and nodded. "Kay, I'll introduce you to the guys…and girl" Demyx smiled at me and I instantly felt calmer.
I followed Demyx to his locker and saw a group of people across the hall. When next thing I knew, a boy with fiery red hair stood up and slung his arm around my shoulders. "Who's the new kid?" I heard him asking.
Demyx laughed. "This is Zexion, he's a temporary member of our lunch group. Don't be too rough on him" I noticed Demyx wink, whether it was for me or for the red head, I wasn't sure.
But the red head let go of me and held out his hand. "The name's Axel. Memorize it" When I didn't do anything, he reached forward for my right hand but I pulled it back and offered my left hand. He looked at me as if I was nuts, but shook my left hand regardless. I noticed a look of realization dawn on Demyx's face when he remembered that it was my right wrist that was wounded. He smiled apologetically. I simply smiled at him.
Now Demyx started pointing at people to introduce them. "There's Kairi, Riku, Sora, Roxas, and you already know Nams" Demyx sat next to Namine on the end and motioned for me to sit next to him. I did.
The rest of lunched passed by, and I found myself smiling by the end of it. I seemed to be doing a lot of that today. So when the bell telling us to go to our fourth class rang, I was quite disappointed. Not to mention that Demyx wasn't even in my next class.
We all sighed and went our separate ways to our fourth period classes. I mumbled a quick 'see you later' to Demyx and went to my history class.
I hated my history class. Sure, it was interesting, but I was the only one there that wasn't in grade 12. Hell, I wasn't even supposed to be in my grade, according to my age.
Everyone in this class was either 17 or 18 years old. I'm only 15. I'm supposed to be in grade 10 but I skipped a grade so I'm in grade 11. I'm also in grade 12 history. Talk about feeling small…
Anyway, the class finished with a lot of homework and then everyone rushing out of the class. I took my time and packed my things away neatly before nodding to Mr. Xemnas and walking out.
So, what do you all think? I know it's a bit long and was also posted late. I told some of you I was going to post it last week but I had an unexpected call and ended up spending the last few days with my cousin. But here it is now. So tell me how much you liked the chapter…or how boring it was…please? Reviews make me feel special XD
