Demyx dodged the blunt object that was thrown at his head as soon as he walked through the door. Well, Roxas is obviously upset. Come on! Like he was suppose to know Axel was the guy Roxas was talking about before. He never gave a name or description. Besides, he never asked about his personal life anyway so the sandy blonde hardly talked about it. "Sheesh, Rox, cool your jets!"

"No! I will not! Why was I not informed that, that annoying redhead monster was your cousin? I'm guessing he's the one you wanted to introduce 'Sora' to that one time and asked if he could when 'Sora' goes to his school?" Roxas argued.

Demyx sighed. "How was I supposed to know you knew him? Last time I checked he was still going to Sunset Terrace! I did not know he got kicked out until recently!" Then he stopped and his thoughts got all sidetracked. "You know, I bet it was all Reno's fault for that."

"It doesn't matter who's fault it is!" Roxas huffed with a flail of his arms. "I'm sorry but you're going to have to tell Axel I simply can not speak to him at the school. I don't care if he's your stupid cousin. He is also my friend at school. He can't find out. . ."

The mohawked manager smiled goofily. "He's your friend? So you're the one he tried so hard to impress. You know he is a really great guy, Rox."

The blonde facepalmed and let out an exasperated sigh. "That's not the point, Dem. . ."

"Yeah, yeah I know! He's going to be so disappointed but I understand. Don't want him to notice." He laughed out.

"Glad you're finding this funny. . ." Roxas mumbled.

The elder male looked thoughtful for a minute. "You know, you could tell hi-"

"No." He deadpanned.

"Why not? Axel's not the type to go around telling everyone's secrets. Besides, Riku knows."

Said teen was just walking through to get him and Sora a drink. "Way to throw me under the bus, Dem. I see where your love lies." He said dramatically as he entered the kitchen.

"Woops, sorry!"

"That's enough! This conversation is becoming pointless. I am not going to see your cousin either before or after the stupid speech shit and I will not tell him. I still have yet to tell Hayner, Pence and Olette. My best friends since grade school, why would I tell some idiot I recently befriended not too long ago?"

Demyx batted his eyelashes held his entwined hands to his chest. "Because you love him and you must share your secret to you lover that way your love isn't filled with lies and secrets."

Roxas' eyebrow twitched. "NOT A CHANCE YOU DUMBASS." He said, insulting his goofy manager while throwing another blunt object at his head. Unfortunately this one didn't hit its target either.

. . / / Tuesday \ \ . .

Roxas stared at his reflection. In every way he looked like Sora but no matter what, he didn't feel like Sora. Playing pretend could get pretty boring but if it helped to pay his medical bills and the best doctors, so be it. He wondered if anyone would realize his absence in school. Would they connect the to? Probably not since everyone knows his 'dislike' towards the model, they'd think he skipped to avoid seeing him or something. That and his best friends know he hates large crowds and loud noises with a passion. Oh the irony. That stuff is everywhere in the life of a super popular model.

They arrived at the school early to avoid being swarmed by a bunch of kids on the way in. That was the last thing Roxas needed at 6 o'clock in the freaking morning. Damn this school for starting so early. In about a half hour to an hour or so, teens will slowly begin to show up and file into the building. Or maybe rush in today because everyone wants a chance to have alone time with Sora.

He 'met' the school's principal, Dr. Ansem. He was reassured about how great the school is and how friendly everyone who attends here was. Yeah, bullshit. It's not like the older man knew he was one of his students anyway so he just smiled and shook his hand, acting very Sora like.

Once he excused himself to go to the restroom, he let out a long sigh. Peace at last. No one was in the empty halls at this time which made things a lot easier for him. He could have a few moments of peace without anyo-

"That was a big sigh. Stressin' already?"

He jumped at the sudden voice that appeared next to him. He looked up at the other and mentally cringed. 'OF FUCKING COURSE.'He mentally cursed. On the outside he was laughing nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, like Sora would in this situation. "Hehe, nahhh. I'm just super tired is all. I don't normally wake up so early, y'know?" Then he pout and playfully shoved the redhead. "And don't scare me like that you meanie!"

Axel laughed. Wow, unbelievable. He was actually face-to-face with Sora, the Sora Leonhart. Why was he so gorgeous. 'God dammit stop getting distracted.' "Woops sorry." Then he paused for a second. "I would say I understand but uhhm I don't. I always have to wake up early like this. See I live on the other side of town and my mom also works here so we get here early like this. Wandering around the halls is a good way to just be alone and think. I didn't expect to run into a model on my daily rounds."

'I repeat. OF FUCKING COURSE. Damn my bad luck. Now I have to talk to him.' He looked at the redhead a bit shocked. "Are you serious? Why do you go to school here then?" 'Good, just keep up the little charade, maybe he won't notice.'

"Because I got kicked out of my old one." He put it bluntly. Realizing how bad that sounded he lifted up his and in defense he said, "Not that I did anything bad. More like my brother did something extremely awesome but costly and stupid. So me and my bro got the short end of that stick. Since he was already done with school."

'Sora' laughed. "Oh wow. I would asked what it was but for some reason I don't want to know."

"Go-karting in the halls while having a huge tomato fight." he explained.

"Pfft- how the hell, man! That does sound awesome! Unless you're an unfortunate soul who got caught between the cross fire."

"Yup. So that is my little back story." Axel said proudly.

Sora nodded his head in approval. "Alright."

Axel motioned for him to follow. "C'mon and walk with me for a sec."

'Ugh, I have to get back. . . but being Sora.' "Sure!"

He followed the redhead through the maze of halls. They both talked amiably about many things. It seems like they had so much in common. Roxas mentally noted him and the real Sora would get along perfectly. Then again, everyone would with Sora happy, bubbly, kind-hearted and welcoming atmosphere he seemed to carry about.

"Aaand This is the locker of my new friend Roxas! He's pretty amazing by the way." Axel said with a smile and a nod.

He now payed more attention to what the lanky teen was saying. The topic was now on him and he wondered what the redhead actually thought about him, not like he cared. So far, he said a lot of good things about the others when they passed by their lockers. "Oh really?" He asked with a curious tilt of his head.

Axel gave another nod. "Yup! He's this cute little blondie about your height. He has a temper on him but that's what makes him all the more cute. He even wears these glasses that adds even more cuteness. I love pissing him off." He laughed out.

'Fuck you, I don't love it. It's annoying as shit. AND I AM NOT CUTE.' He mentally stated. Sora just laughed along with him. "It seems like you really do like him." Oh god, what the hell was he saying.

"Sure I do! He's my best friend! Well, we recently became friends but since I hardly have friends here, I dubbed him my best friend in this school." Axel stated. "Oh! You should see him without his glasses too! He's like, I don't even, just really good-looking I guess. I wonder why he doesn't wear contacts. I think girls would end up liking him a lot. You know, now that I think about it, he has this big beautiful ocean blue eyes. . Kind of like your's." He said, leaning towards the 'brunette' to get a good look at his eyes.

He stepped back. "Well blue eyes are pretty common around here. I have yet to run into a brown eyed kid." He said, putting up a defense wall. Then the words he said finally caught up to him and he could feel his cheeks heat up. 'He not only thinks I'm cute, which I'm not, that's not manly at all, but he said I was good-looking? And called my eyes beautiful. . . NO. Roxas stop it. Do NOT think like that. He's just an idiot talking nicely about his friend. Best friend. Not in that kind of way.' He reassured himself. In a way, he didn't like that thought but, he couldn't understand why.

Axel shrugged and stood straight again. "That's true. Well, I know two people who do. Hayner and Pence."

"Your two other friends, right?" He asked, desperately hoping this subject changes.

"Yes they are. Now then let's continue our walk~."

He mentally sighed. THANK GOD.

"You two aren't continuing anything." They both heard a serious tone in that statement and both of their minds shout 'I'm in trouble.'

They turned to see Demyx in all is mo-hawked/mulleted glory with his arms crossed, trying to look like an intimidating adult. See the fail in that? Demyx? Intimidating? Blasphemy.

"Demyx! Cuz! I haven't see you in awhile!" The redhead said smoothly, giving his relative a big hug.

Okay that ruined Demyx's facade. He returned the big hug and smiled brightly. "I missed you, man! Damn you're still taller than me!" He fake whined.

Sora bounced over. "No way! You two are related?" He asked happily. Roxas knew the answer to that question but you know, he's not supposed to be himself at this moment.

Demyx nodded, playing along. "Yup! Isn't he amazing? Just like me!"

Axel shook his head. "Nahhh I'm my own type of amazing. Ain't that right Sora?"

Sora laughed. "Of course."

"Now back to business." Demyx said. "You, come with me. You have stuff to prepare and need to get ready to go on stage in about thirty minutes. You, go bother your friends or something, there are a bunch of kids waiting in front of the school right now." He commanded them, pointing at each person it was directed to.

"Right!" They said in unison, both also standing straight saluting the elder like it was the military. They all laughed at this before heading off in their own ways.

"Sooo, you ended up 'meeting' him after all."

"Fuck you." He said, out of Sora character.
