Well this is, the shortest chapter...ever. That I have written. Although you people will now be out for my head, I felt like I should update. Even if it's just a little. Also, to let you people know that I might not be updating any time soon because of regents, end of year projects, my own personal life problems, etc., etc.

So yeah, this is the shortest chapter I'll write for this story. I'll make it up with the next chapter being really long, but for now, this is what I got.

Disclaimer: You know it already.

No, he wasn't the type to ignore me for the rest of the week because he was angry. In fact, I didn't think he was angry today, but he seemed upset. Most likely at me. That didn't sit well with me.

So as I went from class to class, because I wanted to watch what he did, I stalked down the hallway; making the freshmen scurry away, the sophomores barely brave enough to stay by their lockers, and the juniors and seniors worked on different ways of making a path for me in the hallway. They didn't want to be caught in the crossfire. Last time that happened I got suspended for a week, but ithe sweet taste of revenge and the smell of scorched hair and books made it worth it.

He knew I was 'stalking' him to his locker before lunch, but I still kept my distance from him once I saw that 'thing.' I snorted and leaned against the wall as Namine approached Roxas with a smile. Roxas looked up gave the first smile I've seen all day to the blonde, making me growl and a few students change their mind about getting books at their nearby lockers.

Roxas and Namine talked, and I could guess from the way they were talking back and forth, they were talking about meeting up somewhere. My eye twitched involuntarly as a single brave soul chose to approach me.

"Axel, cool it down." Riku said as he stood next to me. I sent a glare his way and noticed a cowering Sora behind Riku. I leaned forward so my face was right in front of the brunette's.

"What's so scary, punk? Afraid I might set your hair on fire?" Sora's eye widened. "Or maybe, I'll just take all your class notes and torch them." I pulled my head back and turned my attention back to Roxas.

"Hey, don't turn your anger against Sora." Riku narrowed his eyes at me.

"I'll do what I want, pretty boy." I snapped loudly and I saw Roxas' head turn to look at me. Snarling I looked at Roxas and then back to Riku before storming down the hallway. Everyone ran into the lunch room.

"Die already!" I snarled as the stupid fly continued to buzz around in my room. The big fly had yet to fall on the floor and die. Or find its way out of my room through the open window. Getting ready to go over and set it on fire, the phone rang suddenly. Catching a glimpse at the clock, it read 9:54.

Roxas?

I ran to the phone down the hallway.

"Hello?"

"When are we going to meet up for our projects?" I heard Roxas say in a very bland voice. But at least he had called me.

"Whenever you want to!" I answered quickly, a bit too eagerly than I would have liked to. I shut my mouth in case anything else would come out. I had been acting way too strange for Roxas to not suspect something. If Roxas suspects something, then he'll eventually pull it out of me. I don't want to hurt him; your best friend having a crush on you is not what you want to hear if you're both guys.

"Tomorrow I'm hanging out with Namine… hmmm…" He trailed off thinking as I resisted the urge to say something about the blonde. "Thursday is a blitzball game. Oh are you coming?"

"Duh." Piano can wait for Roxas.

"…okay. What about Friday again then?" He asked.

"That's fine with me. Anytime good for you?" I answered.

"Yeah."

"Okay, come over at 4 o'clock again. Got it memorized?" I smirked into the phone.

"Yeah." Click. I put the phone down and walked back over to my desk to see that the fly had finally died. I picked it up and grabbed my lighter, as I headed to the bathroom. I set it on fire and then threw it into the sink of water. At least Roxas called me, so he must not be that angry…

Wait why should I care? I shouldn't, but I do. I know I like him or even more. My heart skips a beat whenever we touch even slightly now and now he's constantly on my mind. But I shouldn't like him. But if I can't stop myself from liking him, I'll just never tell him. Yeah, that would work, that way he doesn't get hurt. I don't want him to know that I like him so much since it would be weird for him. He obviously has something for Namine; he talks to her and smiles with her, so he's not gay. I doubt my luck is that good that he's bi. So why put such a burden on him, to know that his best friend likes him when he doesn't like me back? He would get upset that he can't help me, or that he doesn't feel that way towards me. I don't want him to be upset, because he'll just get depressed and then he may stop talking to people. He may stop talking to me.

I couldn't bare him not talking to me. So I'll just settle for being able to be this close to him. I'm sure that as long as he's happy, I can be happy, right?

…Right?

Sighing heavily, I threw myself onto my bed and grabbed my headphones. This is going to be a lot easier said then done.

mmhmm.

Yeah. Poor Axel is so confused. Yay.

Although next chapter, just to let you guys know, Axel may get some 'action.' But it may not be what you think it is, so you'll have to wait to find out. (gets attacked by already angry readers) Eheheh.
