chapter 6
Study. That's what I had to do all weekend. I had to sit in my room for hours studying for the stupid final exams. I mean, I had free will, but if I wanted to get a decent mark, I had to give up my life for a few days. Sora came in my room a few times, asking me what I was doing. "Studying." I told him every time he came in. "And if you had any common sense, that's what you'd be doing too."
Sora sighed. "I'm doing research! Not for school, but still."
"What are you researching?" I asked. I noticed Leon walked by us in the hall, but stopped to stand behind Sora, and hear the conversation.
"I wanna find out more about this 'Cloud' guy." He said, not knowing Leon was there.
I replied simply. "It's none of your buisness." I really did want to know more though.
"Yeah, but we gotta protect Leon! Cloud could be a stalker or something! That's why i'm gonna look up his name on that one website. Family watch dog for Twilight Town and area."
Leon crossed him arms and sighed. "Cloud isn't a stalker, Sora." I've met him before, and how do you even know about him?"
"Umm..."
"He listened to your phone conversation from outside your room." I jumped in.
"Sora!" Leon exclaimed.
I continued. "He recorded the whole thing on his phone, then got Clouds address and waited out in front of his house, when he was supposed to be in math class."
"Sora!" He said again. "How could you?" Leon had a dissapointed look on his face as he left the room.
"Roxas!" Exclaimed Sora. "That last part wasn't even true!"
I laughed evily. "That, my dear Sora, is revenge."
~*~*~**~**~*~*~*
Sunday was basically the same routine, except for the revenge part. Instead, Axel called, looking for the answer to one of the chemistry problems. I was going to ask him what he was going to say on friday, but decided against it.
~*~**~*~*~*~*~
For the remaining two weeks of school, school days end at lunch, but there are two weeks worth of final exams. I thought last wednesday was hell, I was wrong. Final exams are worse. I hurried to school that morning, hoping to ask Axel what he was going to say. We waited outside the school as usual, but for some reason, Axel didn't join us. I didn't see him at all.
"Hey, Sora? Have you seen Axel today?" I asked my brother during lunch.
"Nope. Haven't seen him all day." He replied. "Why?"
"Oh, I just wanted to ask him something, that's all."
The rest of the day was boring too. Everyone just seemed quiet. Even Sora, for once, didn't have much to say. I guessed it was probably because Axel wasn't there. I know that sounds a bit dumb, but he just seems to be the fire of the group. The fire that keeps everything light and alive. I guess that fire died when he wasn't there.
I woke up on Tuesday morning, and remembered that today was a chemistry exam. Mostly long answer, with a few multiple choice. I sighed, reluctant to get up. I poured some milk over a bowl of cereal and sat down at the table. A better breakfast would help me think better. Sora had the same idea, and joined me soon after.I breifly saw Leon's face before I left, and he still looked a little annoyed with Sora. No, I didn't feel sorry at all, even though most of my embarassing moments over the past few days, were mostly my fault. But he did play a role in my embarrasment. Sora didn't look mad at me anymore, so that was good. We walked to school together as usual, and waited outside by the door. I noticed Axel by the parking lot, standing over by his car. I walked over to him.
"Hey Axel."
"Oh, hey Roxas." He said.
"Umm, Axel?" I asked. "Out of curiosity, what were you going to tell me on friday?"
"Oh.. uh..." He started. His face got a bit red. (I can't believe I was so oblivious at the time!) "I was just gonna say... I'm glad to have you as a friend." He turned and looked away from me. Axel was terrible at lying.
"That's nice of you to say." I smiled, and paused for a moment before I continued. "But now, I'd like you to tell me what you were really going to say." Just then the bell rang, telling students to report to the gym for the exam.
"That was... what I was really going to say." Axel was still looking away, blushing slightly. I sighed, hoping to see him again after school.
~*~*~*~**~~*~*~**~*
'Ok, question 1,' I thought silently. 'Which of the following is the smallest container that could hide enough plutonium to make an atomic bomb capable of destroying 40 city blocks? What kinda question is that?'
'Question 2: Oxygen "always" has an oxidation number of -2. But there are several exceptions. In which of the following compounds and ions does oxygen have an oxidation number of +2?' (Ok, I hate myself for not paying attention in class.)
'Question 3: What intermolecular forces do geckos use to stick to walls and ceilings?' I gripped my pencil tightly, in frustration. And just because I had enough of this already, I wrote "Who the hell cares?" in the answer box.
~*~**~**~*~**~*~**
I was so glad I made it out alive that I ran out towards the grass, and started running around on it.
"What the heack are you doing, Roxas?" I heard Sora ask. I ran over to him, grabbed him by the wrist and started dragging him along with me.
"I'm so happy to be alive!" I said. From the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of red hair. Axel. I immediatly stopped, let go of my brother, and walked up to Axel. He pretended not to notice me.
"Hey, Axel." I said. "Sorry about earlier, if you don't want to tell me that's fine."
He smiled sadly. "No, Roxas. I really should tell you. 'K, the truth is..."
Mehaha Cliffhanger!!! i'm gonna start putting notes at the end 2, but use double line divider things, cuz sometimes, in my chapters I use them, sometimes i just use ~*~*~**~, theres no difference in meaning...but oh well. What was Axel gonna say? O_o...
