I shuffled nervously in my seat. My heart beat a little fast. Before I knew it, my face became red, and I was now angry. "What the hell are you? Some crazy homo?" I yelled at him. He laughed. It was no use - he didn't care! He just poked my head and smirked. "Ya know something? You're cute when you yell." I immediately stopped shouting. The whole class was now staring wide-eyed at us, and a couple girls said 'Awe.'
"Yes, you're also annoying when you yell." Mr. Ansem added. "Now, Axel, I know you've taken this class last year, but please don't take time away from the other students." Axel? What kind of name was that? Really, when it came down to it, what kinda name was Roxas? I don't think I wanted to know. Axel sighed and put his hands behind his head. He had nothing with him today, so I felt kinda stupid with my overly-large bookbag. "C'mon, Mr. It's the same every year. You give us a big lecture on all the things you're about to teach, and then you go right back to your computer."
"So? I'm busy grading things and coming up with new labs for the students that try, Axel. Remind yourself of that." Mr. Ansem now cleared his throat. "This year in biology, we're going to study..." I immediately zoned out. Science just wasn't my subject; I was going to fail all the same. So what was the point of even listening? "Hey. Sleepy head." I felt someone shake me from my day dream. "Class is over. Unless you wanna skip with me, you'd better get going." I looked up. It was none other than Axel, and his green eyes stared right at me. He smiled, and then pulled me out of my desk.
I looked around. The bell probably had just rung not so long ago, but I needed to find my next class and quick. "Well, I have gym." I told him. "I like gym. So I'm not skipping." He shrugged. "Then I'll just come to your gym class." My whole body stopped for a minute. This guy just wouldn't give up, would he? "No, you don't have to!" I shouted back. This just made Axel laugh. "I've got nothing better to do." He now touched a spike of my hair. "Stop PMSing, woman."
"You don't even know me!" This was the last straw. Someone I met 45 minutes ago was on my butt like glue. "I know you well enough. Now let's get the hell outta this classroom." He wasn't even listening to a word I said... Before I knew it, I was being dragged across the school all the way to the gym. I gotta admit it, he knew his way around, which was something I could possibly use to my advantage. I had to laugh, everyone got out of the way whenever he was around. Guess they were intimidated by him, too.
As we came to the first floor, Axel covered my eyes with his hands. "No peeking!" I was now blinded and being steered by this guy. I didn't have any choice but to go on with it. It seemed like a long walk, but I really think he was taking me in circles just for the thrill of it. "Okay, you can open them now." He released me and pushed me forward. I was now inside the gym, and my eyes hurt from being fondled with. I ran to other side of the gym, hoping I'd find Sora. Where the hell was he? I pushed througha couple people, hoping someone would be there that I actually knew!
"Roxas!" I looked behind me. It turned out Pence had this class, too. Finally! Someone I knew who wasn't homo! He walked over to me. "Hey, where's Sora?" he asked me. I shrugged. Was I his keeper? "Who's your gym teacher?" Pence asked. The kid asked too many questions. It really got annoying. "Mr. S." I replied. "Hmm. Never met him before, and I've been in this school last year, too. I guess he's new." I nodded. "Alot of people have been saying that. But I wouldn't know new from old in this school." Pence was about to say something, but Sora finally arrived. He was with the same silver-haired boy as before.
He walked away from his, and suprisingly enough, the silver haired boy walked over to Axel where they now formed a large group with other goth members. "Hey guys!" Sora called out. I turned to him, and actually smiled. "S'up?" I asked. "Nothing, school's been great, though! I met some people I'd like you to meet, too. C'mon guys!" he ran toward two girls, one I recognized immediately from before - the girl dressed in all white. The other looked kind of like her, but didn;t have blond hair. She was a brunette, and Sora was on her like white on rice.
"Hey." I said, waving to them. They both waved back, and smiled. "Sora told us about you." The brunette said, inspecting both me and Sora. "Hmm. You're twins, aren't you?" Sora smiled widely. "Yup! Identical twins, actually. Some people don't think so, because Roxas went all 'non-conformist' on me." She giggled. "I'm Kairi. And this is Namine." Kairi and I shook hands. "Hey, aren't you both twins too?" I asked. Kairi shook her head. "We're best friends. We look kind of alike, but there's alot of best friends that look the same. I guess it's sort of something that just happens."
"Yeah, I guess so." Namine said. "I guess that's why people become friends in the first place when they look the same. Girls usually stare down because they feel someone is more attractive than them, so they feel since they look the same, it's like a truce." Pence, Sora, and I had question marks floating above our heads. Girls. What weirdos... I just don't get them.
"Found you!" Someone just tackled me to the floor. It was none other than Axel, my biggest fan. He got off the ground, but I still lay there in shock. He looked up at Sora. "Heeey. Two of you, eh?" Sora waved in confusion. I guess he was a little violated like I was. "Roxas. I feel hurt. You never told me you had a twin." I rolled my eyes, still on the floor. "You never asked!" Axel now put his hands on his hips. "You're suppossed to tell me because I'm just that special." This was too much to take, especially in front of Sora. "Hey, where's our gym teacher?" Asked Pence. I loved how he always brought things that were off topic into the conversation. Kairi shrugged. "Things are delayed today. Plus, it's a free period." Pence hung his head. "I brought gym pants today for nothing!"
"Common, Roxaaaasss!" Shouted Axel. "Let's go over to my friends. I've already met yours." I trudged behind him with an attitide. This was stupid. I didn't want to go meet a crowd I'd never be accepted in. There was no point. "Hey." Axel said to the group. There was only four people there, but only three turned thier heads. The last was sitting against the wall, writing in some notebook. I guess he was the antisocial emo of the group.
"Everyone, this is Roxas. Roxas, this is Demyx." He pointed to the emo guy against the wall. He finally looked up and waved. "That's Riku." the guy with the silver hair half smirked and then looked away. "And the other two are Marluxia and Larxene." The other two waved and then resumed talking. "So now you know my friends. You should hang out with us after school." I felt a little puzzled. "You don't know me, you've met me only a class ago. Why?" He now smirked. "I dunno. Guess I just needed someone to bother. You're a new student, so I thought I'd have fun. You're lucky, it's like starting over a new leaf here." I actually smiled. It was true, but fun? I was hardly having any fun. "Heh. You're actually right for once."
"Wow. Did a miracle just happen? Roxas smiled!" he shouted. "Hey everyone, Roxas smiled!" They laughed. "We don't care." Riku blurted. I didn't like him from the start. He looked like a creep to me. "This calls for a poem." Demyx said suddenly. "Ohh! I wanna make one up!" Axel then ran over to Demyx and ripped out a piece of paper from his notebook, and swiped his pen. "Okay, here goes." He quickly scribbled down something. He then faced us and cleared his throat. "Roxas, Roxas. Mr. Uptight obnoxious. He never smiled until now, and when he did, I was like 'wow'!" he read. Demyx clapped, and Axel bowed. "That was pretty good, man." Demyx told him. That was the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. How could he even call it a poem? It was so stupid, but I laughed uncontrollably.
The bell rang. That was pretty long for a gym period, it seemed longer than first period. "This school is booooring." Said Axel. "Know what? Let's go to lunch instead. I'm hungry." For the rest of the day, Axel dragged me all around school to everywhere my classes weren't. On the plus side - I knew where everything was by now, and no one cared we were wandering the school since it was the first day. Tomorrow, I couldn't do this. This was only a one time thing; I'd have to make sure of it. I didn't want to end up a loser like - Axel.
