Since I got a review from someone that likes this fic, I'm going to try to keep a steady pace on updating. I'm not promising an update every day, but close enough.
Lunch and New Names
The cafeteria was huge. They even had separate lines for different types of food. They chose to stand in the pizza line. It was relatively short. They just hoped that they would make it in time for the food. They stood behind a fiery red-head in the line. This guy turned around slowly, apparantly aware of the new students. "Well well well. What do we have here?" Riku stepped around so he was in front of Sora. "Who are you?"
"Name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" Axel walked off with his meal, disappearing somewhere within the cafeteria. Sora placed a carton of milk on his tray. "Still think this is a good idea? That guy looked like he was out to get us." Riku shook his head. "He wont do anything. Come on Sora, think of who he would be dealing with." Sora nodded. Riku always won everything back at the island. But what if things were different around here?
Sora spotted a table with some extra seats. There was only one boy setting there. He seemed sort of shy. Sora decided he would ask the blonde if they could set there. "Hey. Is it all right if we set with you?" The blonde looked up from the spaghetti he was stirring around on his plate. "Yea, I guess so." Riku sat down and started for the pizza. "I'm Riku." He waved his arm over. "And that...is Sora." "I'm Roxas. Are you guys new here?"
Sora stopped chewing for a minute. "Yea, we just got here this morning." "You should read over the rules then. You probably haven't done anything wrong yet, but trust me it's easy." Sora frowned at the mention of more rules. He always tried to follow them, but trouble seemed to somehow always find him. Especially when he was with Riku. "Aww come on Sora, we will be fine." Roxas started to get up. "Maybe we will have some classes together." Sora and Riku nodded, and the boy disappeared.

"He seemed pretty nice." Sora continued to stuff the dresser with clothes. "Yea, I guess." Sora looked over at Riku with a pout on his face. "Aww come on Riku, this is what you wanted isn't it?" Riku laid back on his bed with his arms folded under his head. "Yea." Sora sat on top of his desk and began looking through their schedules. "We have all the same classes." Riku stood up and walked over to see.
This seemed to cheer him up. "So what are we taking this year?"
"Government, Art, English, Study Hall, Latin, Trigonometry, and Ecology." Sora whined. "But these sound hard..." Riku grinned. Sora always underestimated himself. The schedule wasn't really all that bad. Some of those classes sounded easy. They would just have to work harder on the others. "It's a block schedule. At least we wont have all those classes everyday." Sora gave him that but-what-if-I-get-my-days-mixed-up looks.
"Have I ever let you down before? Besides I already know this place is going to be better. There's no school uniforms." Riku always complained back on the island about how they had to wear the same thing everyday. Everyone looked exactly the same, and how they were turning them into conformists.
"Hey, Sora. Let's look around some before the days over." Sora mumbled something about having to go to the bathroom so Riku just thought he would wait out in the hall. He saw Axel leaning against the wall on the other side of the hall. Riku just nodded in his direction. Axel was one of those types that only talked when they really had something to say. Sora on the other hand would talk about anything. He remembered once listening to a whole lecture about how there wasn't enough trees on the island.
Roxas walked by quietly to the stairwell. Riku noticed that Axel's eyes carefully followed the path of the blonde boy. "Hmm..." Axel averted his gaze back to Riku. "He will be mine one day, ya know?" Riku answered hesitantly. "You like this Roxas guy?" Axel walked over laughing to himself. "Only for the past two years. But the boy is too shy for his own good." "I can relate."
"Sora?" Riku grinned. "Yea. You're quick to catch on, but at least I convinced him to come here with me." Axel decided to lean against the wall again. "Yea, that's a start."

Sora walked out of the bathroom. "Before the end of this year, you will be thanking me." "And what about..." Riku noticed that Sora was once again present. Axel's grin broadened. "I can handle it." The red-head walked off looking particularly chipper. Sora looked curiously at Riku. "Did I miss something?" "Nah."
"Where are we going?" "I don't know. I just felt like walking around." The walking trip wound up being the dorm. First they went downstairs to the first floor. Sora couldn't see that there was much to look at. Riku on the other hand seemed to be examining the names on the doors. "Why are we just walking around looking at doors?"
"Where's your sense of adventure?" Sora glanced at yet another door before replying. "Somewhere more interesting then here..." "Okay fine, we can go back to the room." Sora spotted Axel walking out of a room. "Oh hey you guys. Why don't you come in and join the congregation?" "Sure. Why not?" Sora looked over at Riku like he was crazy. Axel looked like he could give Riku a run for his reputation when it came to trouble-making.

Not much happening in this chapter, eh? I pretty much just wanted to introduce the characters and everything. Next up, Axel has a game of truth or dare planned. What's the worst that can happen? We shall see...
