Hello everyone who loves this Fanfiction XD So i just wanted to say a bit before the new chapter begins. I like all the reviews that everyone posted for this story. Thank you all, that being said I want to replied to some of you guys reviews. But before that a lot of you pointed out my grammar and I'm sorry about it. I'm sick and tired of making you all read it. Again I'm sorry. Hopfully there are none in this chapter but sadly I do make mistakes and there might be some I miss. Now to the reviews =D

To Zombiecake11290 ~ Your right I didn't even notice the irony there, haha. Also yeah Riku was sorta close into find out that twins and Sora are related. But he didn't so you all have to wait until that secret come out hehe.

To PixieJameston ~ Thank you for the advice and took it. I took my time and proof read this chapter. I read it slowly and out loud to myself. Again thank you :)

To SoRikuRox ~ Yes it was a good 'Friends are There' moment I put. I loved it a lot. All so I thought about what all their screen names should be and those are what I thought. I hoping people would think that they were fitting to there personality. So thank you for telling me that. As well as the reason why Riku hangs out with his supposedly friends well, like it said in Night of no Sleeping, Riku only consider Roxas and Ventus as ture friends [You'll see Riku trying to be a friend to Roxas in this chapter by the way ;)]. Riku only hangs out with Seifer and the rest out of boredom. Also I'm planning on my making this story a roller-coaster. There would be a time where things all looking good and then bad stuff comes raining down! Hope you like that!

To Yoorin ~ Oh I really want to talk to you hehe :D Every question you ask, I'll answer in a way haha. Okay the first question you ask was. Why exactly does Sora still like Riku? Well you see that well be explain in another chapter. You notices that Sora and his friends didn't talk about Riku. Is because don't know how to touch that topic so that why Hayner said they won't talk about Sora's crush. Then you asked about why didn't Leon and Namine act more concerned to Sora injuries. Well they were not really believing Sora at first but they didn't want to push him. More on this matter will be go into more detail in a later chapter. Next was how did the twins became friends with the bullies will be revealed in this chapter. Also they don't know Sora's last name and I know that Kairi and Sora are in the same music class but Vanille doesn't take roll by last name. She would just say first name or just look to see who's there. Some of my teachers in high school would do that so that why I made it like that. Then lastly the final question you asked was how is Riku going to go from being a hate fulled, arrogant, bully to a caring, apologetic and romantic person. Well all I got to say to you about that is that this story, I'm planning on making it a long one. That's right. Just give everything time and you'll see how it turns out.

Well those are all the people I was to address before this chapter starts. Hope you enjoy the new chapter!


Day full of Red Chapter 8:

Hello, my name is Axel Emblem. I'm 16 years old and I'm a junior at Destiny Island High. Today is my first day back to school since I was suspended for fighting. I was suspended for a week. The whole thing was the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Only I was suspended and the other guy just got one day of in school suspension. The reason he practically didn't get a bigger punishment was that he's Riku Star. His dad gives the school's a huge donation which influences the school to give that rich silver hair bastard a lighter punishment. Which means that one of this world's rules comes into affected. That rich people will always get better treatment. That is just bullshit; I mean we're all human beings.

That's one of the reason I hate that bastard named Riku. When people try to make conversation with the ass, he acts like 'why is this person talking to me.' Like he thinks he's better than everyone else. 'But news flash no you're not.'

Right now I just left my house and hoped into my car. The day I was sent home, my parents were at home waiting for me; they had me do every chores in the house. It was really tiring; the list of the chores was mowing the lawn all the way to fixing the roof of the house. Once it was time from me to go to sleep, the moment my head hit the pillow it was lights out for me. That's how exhausted I was from all of that. So now I'm happy that I get to go back to school for more reason then one.

I soon reached the school, I parked in the student parking lot and heading inside. The second I enter the building, right then I saw the bastard Riku in the far end of the hallway. I wanted to go over there and punch his head lights out but I just returned. I didn't want to get in trouble again and not for the same reason as last time. I kept my cool and walked the other direction. The best way to get myself to calm down is to walk away from the situation. I headed to my locker and then to my home room. But before I got to my class, I walk past the bulletin board. I notice the scores of the midterm test. I thought I should look at it. I saw my name as number fifty. I managed to get in the top fifty even though it's the last place of the fifty. I'll have to thank Saix for helping me study for it.

'I wonder who has the top score of the junior class,' I asked in my head. I looked at the top of the list and then I was sick of whose name was on top. 'Riku Star, smart ass bastard.' It's things like this that boosts the jerks ego. So he has brains and so what if every girl in this school wants the guy. That doesn't mean you can be an asshole. As I was about to turn, a hand was place on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw that it was Saix and Marluxia is right next to him, a few of my only friends in this school.

"Hey here you are," Saix said. "We've been looking for you."

"Yeah," commented Marluxia.

"Hey, yeah I got here a few minutes ago. When I got here I wanted to look for you two but then I saw the vain of my existence at the end of the hallway," I said with venom in my voice at the end.

"Riku Star," replied Marluxia.

"Yeah that asshole," I said.

"Get over that guy," said Saix. "I still don't understand fully why you hate him. I mean I know he can be jerk at times but I don't think you should hate him this much?"

"Well if you know him as long as I know him, you would. You see he has that attitude that says I'm better then you and the jack ass is a complete bully. You know I can't stand those types of people," I said to my friends.

"It's weird, I never seen him bully anyone until this year," said Marluxia. I know who he's referring to. Sora, the poor kid that was about to transfer out of this school because of that jerk. But I wasn't going to let that happen. Riku and his friends have scared so many people out of this school, I'll be damned if that happen again. "But it seems that his gang is only going after that one freshman it seems."

"Yeah Sora," I said in a whisper so I would be the only one to have heard myself.

"Didn't you know Star in middle school, Axel," asked Saix. I nodded my head to say yes. "Did you two fought like the way you fight here?"

"No, in middle school it was more of a one sided rivalry on my part. He did the best in everything and I got jealous. So I tried to outshine him. Now I looked back at it, it was completely dumb of me. But now that I know how he really is, I can't stand him," I stated.

"I see, but it still seems that you still throw too much hated at him. There has to be another reason," said Saix. "Wait does this still have to do with Kairi Suki. I thought that you were over that girl?"

"I am over her and during freshman and sophomore yeah that's the reason. But now I've seen the light and I forgot all about that chick," I stated. I was a fool back then for liking Kairi.

-*Flash Back*-

I was running late for my first day of school and I didn't think I could make it on time. I got to the school gate and I notice a girl standing at the gate. She was really pretty and I couldn't stop looking at her. This girl has auburn color hair that ends right above her shoulders. Like every girl in this school, she has to wear a skirt and therefore I can see her really nice legs. She had nice curvy body which will make all guys look at her while she's walking. Looking closely at her you can see that she has beautiful, healthy skin. She looks like the ideal girl that any guy would wish for.

I was so taken by her beauty that I didn't notice that all the guys around here were drooling. I was right that every guy would want her. The girl of every guy's attention was on her phone, but then she looked up. She had a face on that reads I-know-all-the-guys-want-me. I would normally think girls who think that are full of it but she's so pretty that she must be used to this kind of treatment. So I understand, a girl this pretty can't help but notice all the guys looking at her.

She looked at one guy in the eye and he just turns the other way. Then other guy and he looked down with embarrassment. One half of me wanted to go up to her and asked her out. But the other half that seems to be winning told me not to. It was also saying, 'Stay away from her! You'll regret knowing that girl if you go up to her!' I usually listen to my gut like 80 percent of the time and it's never wrong. So that's why that side was winning. Right then the bell rang and I forgot that I was running late.

I ran inside and went for my schedule. After I got my class schedule and my assigned locker, I was half an hour late for my first class. Inside the class room, the teacher stops talking and looked at me. "Hello, are you in this class," asked the teacher. I nodded my head as my response. "Than name please?"

"Axel Emblem," I said. She looked though the list and soon spotted my name. She looked up at me.

"Why hello Mr. Emblem. My name is Ms. Farron and I'll be your home room teacher in History. Please take a sit and also don't come late again. I let you off with a warning since it's the first day and everyone here is a freshman," said Ms. Farron. I took a sit in the middle of the class room. I picked it because next to that seat, sat my friend since middle school Roxas. Or at least I think it was Roxas. It could be his twin. As I sat down I turn to him and he looked at me. He sighed.

"Yes it's me, Roxas," he said in a whisper. "I thought you can tell us apart by now?"

"Well, one I start talking to you then yeah but can't by looking alone," I told him. Once I talked to Roxas I can feel right away that he's Roxas and not his brother. I don't know why, it's just like that. Soon home room was over. I headed out of the classroom with Roxas. "So what class are you headed to now?"

"Well since you were late you don't know that all freshmen need to go to the Auditorium. They do a whole freshmen opening ceremony thing. So we don't have to go to our next class," said Roxas.

"I see," I replied. "But still what class do you have next?" He took out his schedule and I took out mine. We compare them and we notice that we had most all of our class together. "The only thing we don't have is the last class and lunch. But I say that's good enough right?"

"Yeah, it's better than Ventus' schedule. We only have lunch together. That's it," Roxas said. We got out of the building and heading to another one. We soon got to the Auditorium and I soon spotted the girl from earlier. Roxas looked at me and then at what I was looking at. "Who's that?"

"I don't know but look at her," I said.

"Yeah she's pretty," Roxas said. "Why don't you go over there? Sit with her."

"I don't know," I said "I want to but something in me says not to. You know I listen to my gut."

"Is this the same gut that told you to hop in your dad's car and take it for a spin," he said in a mocking tone.

"My gut told me that my parents wouldn't teach me how to drive," was my only response.

"Of course they wouldn't. You were 12 years old. Parents usually start to teach their kids when they're 15. You had another three years to go to learn. But now I don't think they'll ever teach you now," said Roxas.

"Whatever," I said to my blond friend. My eyes never leaving the girl from this morning. She was just standing up and looking around. She seems to be looking around like she's looking for someone. My head and gut were still having an argument of if I should go up to her or not. But my gut was still winning it. So I looked away from her and went to sit down with Roxas.

"So you're not going over to her," asked Roxas. I nodded and soon the ceremony started. Once it was over, every student went to their next class. Soon the first day of school was over and I was heading out the main gate. But right as I turn I bummed into the girl; I haven't been able to stop thinking about her all day.

"Sorry about that," I apologize to her. "I hate school so I leave really quickly every day."

"Hm… I see," this girl said. My head is saying 'Yes! I'm finally talking to her!'while my gut is saying. 'Say goodbye and go, NOW!' But this time I decided to listen to my head.

"Names Axel," I would usually end it with 'Got it memorizes.' But that was more of a lame joke to tell. But I wanted to impress her.

"…Kairi," she said and walked off without another word. She didn't even look back my way. But really I didn't care whatsoever. Cause I just talked to the most gorgeous girl in this whole school. Also now that I listen to my head my gut seemed to shut up.

'I think I was just shy talking to that girl. Maybe that's why it was saying all those things,"I thought. I then headed out of school and walked my merry way back home. Having the feeling like I had accomplished something, like walking around the whole town of islands we called Destiny Island. Soon I got home and went right to my bedroom. I went to my bed and lie down on it.

"Tomorrow I'll make a better effort on talking to Kairi," I promise myself. "I need to make my move quickly or another guy can come in and take her." That idea in my head makes me mad. "Like hell I want that to happen."

It's the next morning and I'm trying to find Kairi but I couldn't find her. I didn't see her for a whole week and then I see her walking down the hall with some blond haired girl. I tried to go over to her but I was stopped by a friend I made called Saix.

"Axel? Where are you going? Our class is that way," he told me. But I wasn't really listening I just want to pass him and talk to Kairi.

"Sorry but can't talk right…," I looked over for Kairi but she's gone. "Where did she go?"

"Who," asked my friend.

"This really hot girl," I replied while still looking for her. "I saw her the first day and that was the last time I saw her. Until today."

"Well that sucks," Saix said. Right then the bell rang. "Come on. Let's get to class." I nodded my head in defeat and followed him. Soon it was three more weeks have passed and I haven't seen Kairi at all. It's like she went missing and then come popping out again, only to go missing again. Lunch has just ended and I was walking to my next class with my other new friend Marluxia.

"Why do you look down, Axel?" Marluxia asked. I looked at him and then sighed.

"There's this girl I've been meaning to talk to but I can never seem to find her," I said. "I saw her the first day of school and then I saw her a week later. But I haven't seen her since then."

"All this over a girl," Marluxia said. "She must be hot."

"She is dude," I responded. "She might as well be given the hottest girl in Destiny Island High School trophy. She's that hot Marluxia."

"Okay then. What does she look like?" He asked me. "I might have her in one of my classes. If I do then I can help you out."

"Really man," I said. "Okay then. She has auburn hair that is about shoulder length, blue eyes and soft looking skin. Also she's not that tall maybe five feet and five inches. Also her name is Kairi." I told Marluxia everything I know about Kairi. While I was telling Marluxia the details of Kairi, he nodded his head. Then he was looking like he recognizes the description and then once I called her Kairi he looked like he knew who I was referring. Then he looked away from me. Like he found out something and it was awkward to talk about it. "You know her? Don't you?"

"I do Axel," Marluxia only said. I had a feeling he knows something bad. Then an idea popped into my head.

"Marluxia did you go out with her or something," I asked him.

"No… it doesn't involve me," he said. I sighed of relief. "But it does involve her dating someone." I didn't like what he just said. I took a deep breath and exhale.

"Who," I said. "And how do you know her?"

"She's in my homeroom and today she was talking to her friend this morning. Saying she is going out with this one guy. It all happened this morning and her friend asked if it was the boy she was talking about since school started. They were talking about that one guy every girl in this school seems to be into," said Marluxia. At that instant I knew who he was talking about. I then head outside where I knew this guy was. "Axel, where are you going? Class is about to start," Marluxia said. I then threw my bag-pack over to him. I know he knows what I mean by throwing him that. But right now I just wanted to tell this guy who's been a sort of a rival to me. The guy who was perfect the whole time in middle school. Riku Star.

-*End of Flash Back*-

It's been two years since then and two years I started to act like love sick fool. Like always, my gut was right. That bitch was not worth all the time and hurt I felt. She's still pretty and that's something that I can't deny. But her beauty doesn't overshadow her ugly personality at all. While those two years I've ignored all the crap that Kairi was involved with. She was also picking on people and ruining their lives as well. My love sickness was really bad for me to just ignore that. God I was so dumb.

"Kairi is a bitch and that's that," I said to my friends. They looked at me before they nodded their heads. We soon headed to our home room. I'm not the best student and I have a bad habit of not listening during class. Sometimes the teacher notices me not paying attention in class, by picking me to answer a question. I always get caught like that. Soon home room ends and then the other classes do too. Right then it was lunch time and I couldn't be happier at all. All of my morning classes have been really dull. As I walk out of my class, I bumped into my old friend Roxas. "Hey Roxas."

"Hi Axel," he said.

"See ya. I got to go and meet up with my friends," I told him.

"Wait Axel," Roxas said. I stopped and turn around to look at Roxas.

"We haven't hanged out for a while," Roxas said. "Why don't we eat lunch together? We haven't done that since middle school. So what do you say?" That was true. Roxas and I haven't hanged out at all for a long time. Ever since he started to hang out with those jackasses. Which I don't understand why he does. So I think this might be a good way to finally talk to my old friend and ask him why he's all friendly with those jerks.

"Ok," I simple said. We then headed to the cafeteria and grab food really quick. I saw Saix and Marluxia in one of the food lines. While Roxas was getting his food, I walked over to my friends. "Hey dudes."

"Oh hey Axel," said Saix.

"Hey listen, I'm going to eat with an old friend of mine," I said. Saix looked behind me and then looked back at me.

"You mean one of the twins over there," replied Saix. I just nodded. "So you're cool with one of Riku's friends?"

"Well he was my friend first and yeah," I said. They nodded an 'OK' and I turn back to Roxas. He just gotten his food and we walked out. We headed towards the back of the I-B and sat down. At first we're eating in silent, the only thing that can be heard is the cars driving by the street nearby. This was getting kinda awkward, it's like we were just some strangers to each other and we just met. I had to break the silent between us. Because he spoke, it seems that Roxas had the same idea

"So… what's new with you?" he asked. I looked at him and shrugged.

"Nothing… I'm guess that's the same with you," I asked. He nodded his head. "(sigh) Roxas I want to ask you something?"

"Shoot," he said.

"Well why are you hang out with Riku and those asses?" I asked him with a little bit of venom in the question. He looked at me with his mouth open. "Do you just hang out with them cause of your brother? I understand that you're brothers and all. But just because he's friends with them, that doesn't mean you have to. You're friends with someone when you like to be around them."

"I know and it's not because Ventus was friends with Riku first," Roxas said. "Also… like I said to you before, they're not-."

"Yes they are and you know it," I cut Roxas off. "Those jerks are bullies and Riku is the worst one and you know that too."

"Listen, Riku wasn't like that at first okay," he said. But I rolled my eyes at that. Roxas saw that and he sighed. "Yes Riku has been arrogant since middle school and he could be rude to people too but he was cool in freshmen year. You know Axel, in middle school Ven and I weren't in the same class at all. While I was in the same class as you, he was in the same class as Riku and that's how they started to talk. Ventus and Riku weren't really friends in middle school, they just talked. Anyway when we moved on to high school and we couldn't talk in class at all. You and I just sort of stop talking to each other as well as we didn't have lunch together, but I did have lunch with Riku and he was also in my last class of the day. So at lunch we would talk and since we had the same last class. Once school was over we would hang out after. So we started to get along and we soon became friends. That's how Riku and I started to become friends."

"But how the hell could you be friends with Seifer, Kairi and the rest of them. Them being total bullies to the rest of the people in this school," I asked. "Don't say that they're not that bad again to me."

"Okay you got me again. They are bad since the day I met them. Since Riku was well like and everyone wants to hang out with him. That's how Seifer, Rai, Fuu, and Demyx got into the picture. Both Ven and I, we do not really like them that much or at all. Really we just put up with them and act cordial to them," Roxas said.

"But why if you didn't like them?" I asked another question.

"Well Riku didn't care that much about them and he didn't care if they hang out with us. So we just let it be and that's how it happens. Then Kairi came into the picture with her friend Larxene and she was sweet and cute towards Riku. To the rest of us she was polite. But then Kairi and Larxene started to show the same personality as Seifer and the rest of them but Riku still didn't care. But both Ventus and I didn't do nothing to no one," Roxas stated.

"But Riku has," I said. "I saw him pick on people too!"

"Only when those people start with him," Roxas replied. "You see he never did anything to anyone either, just like my brother and I. The only time he joined in is when the other person says something rude to him, but even then he doesn't do much. All he did was just trash talk them. He never touched anyone of those people. So he's not that-."

"Then what about this year," I said in a loud voice. Roxas then immediately shut his mouth and looked away. "You know who I'm referring to, do you?" He just nods head after a few seconds. "That freshman, Sora, Riku has hurt the kid; I've seen him do it. He throws things at him, he pushes him into lockers and to the ground, and he scared the kid so bad that he almost transfer out of this school." Roxas then looked at me with shock in his eyes.

"H-h-how d-do you k-know that," he asked stuttering a bit.

"I talked to him last Friday. He was in clean up duty and I had it that day too. The school called me and said I have to still do my clean up duty. So while I was taking out the trash, Sora was doing the same thing too. He told me that he wanted to transfer out of this school. I told him that it was a mistake because that would just be running away from the problem. Hopefully he listens to my advice and stays. Transferring out of this school is the last thing he needs," I said. Roxas looks like he knows something. "Roxas why do you have that look like you're hiding something?"

"What! I… I'm not," Roxas said but I didn't believe him at all.

"Roxas, it may have been two years since we really hang out but I can tell you're hiding something. What is it," I asked again with a stricter tone in my voice.

"I'm not hiding anything at all Axel," he said with more confidence in his voice. It seem like he's gathered himself back together and he was the strong Roxas I know. But that wasn't going to stop me from finding out what he's holding back from me. I stood up and so did he. We were staring at each other's eyes and it soon became a stare off.

"You've seen Riku as the bully now and you're still friends with him," I stated after a minute of our stare off. "Then why are you still friends with the fool?"

"Axel… Just drop it will you," Roxas said.

"Are you scared of them or something," I asked. Roxas widen his eyes for a split second but I saw it. "You are scared of them." But that didn't make any sense at all. Roxas was a feisty guy and not easy to push around. His brother might be a little but not Roxas. But then again it would be all of them against the two of them. "I see, you've seen how bad all of them put together can be and you don't want to go through that. So you and your brother just sit back while other people suffer or rather in this year. Sora suffers so you two won't get hurt?" Roxas looked guilty and irritated after what I said. But I didn't think twice about it. "I thought that you were stronger then that Roxas. But I guess being friends with the devils would change a person. I can't believe this Roxas." Roxas looked down, not being able to look at me anymore. Seeing Roxas right now, my gut is saying that 'Roxas being scared of them.' Wasn't what he was hiding. Roxas was still hiding something and my gut is telling me that. My gut never lies to me and is always right. The only time I didn't listen to it and I regretted. But not this time. "I know that you're still hiding something Roxas and I'm going to find out."

"PYRO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" yelled a voice. I turn to the direction of the voice and it was the fucker Riku. Right next to him was Ventus. Riku looked pissed off and he started to walk my way. "What are you doing to Roxas?"

"Okay, two things. One: It's none of your damn business and Two: I was talking to him. So get your ugly face out of mine and go back to the hell hole where you crawled out from," I said with so much hate in my voice.

"Well you see," Riku said in a mild voice. "From where I was standing, it didn't look like you were just talking. So I can't leave. Well not before I give you this." Riku manage to punch me square in the face but I soon gave him one of mine. I hit him hard enough that he lost his balance. So he step back a bit but he gain it back and then threw another punch but not to my face. He went for the stomach and once his fist made contact with it, I grunt out of pain but that didn't slow me down. While Riku lifted his fist in the air, I went for the tackle. I tackled him to the ground and he hits the back of his head on the ground. I sat up and started to punch him again in the face. I manage to give him three hits before he manage to hit me again. He hit me on the side of my head with force that got me off of him. He sat on top of me immediately and tried to throw a punch at me but I caught it and pushed him off of me. I got on my feet as Riku did the same. We started to stare at each other with much hate. We were both to strike again but Roxas came between us,

"Stop you two! You guys got in trouble last week and now you guys want to get busted again," Roxas yelled at us. Roxas' twin brother then came up to us as well.

"Rox is right Riku," he said. "You shouldn't fight."

"Can't you see Ventus," Riku said. "This clown was trying to pick on Roxas."

"Riku-," Roxas was trying to say something but I cut him off.

"Oh that's right you know all about picking on people since you're a top class fucking bully. How can I forget that?" I asked with sarcasm in my voice. Hearing that, Riku had murder in his eyes and I just laugh it off. Then I threw another punch at him and it hit. Riku was taken aback by the hit but he recovers and then tries to get hit on me. But both the twins were in front of him and keep him from launching at me.

"Come on Riku," said Ventus. "Don't do this." I then turn around feeling like I got my point across and got nothing else to say. As I walked a few feet I turn around and looked at Roxas. He looked at me as well. Roxas was being a coward and I didn't think I'll see the day that happens. But I did promise that I'll find out whatever that he's hiding. I shook my head with disappointment at Roxas' behavior. I walked away from them and went to Saix and Marluxia. I got to the cafeteria and went to the table where my friends were and I sat down. They both turn to me and they notice how I look like I was in a fight. There were bits of grass in my hair and on my uniform as well.

"What happen-," Saix stop himself. "Riku Star and you fought, didn't you?"

"Yeah," I said as my only respond to that question. They drop the issues and continued to talk about whatever they were talking about. I had ten minutes left of lunch until the next class was about to begin. The rest of the day went by in a blur. At this every moment I was walking down the hall with my two friends and just chatting away. Then with no warning Marluxia stops.

"Look," he pointed to the bulletin board. "It's the sign-up sheet for the camping trip."

"What the hell," I said, I looked at it and it was the sign-up sheet. "Great. Look no one has sign up yet come on, let's do it."

"Alright come on," said Saix. We signed up and once we did, we headed towards outside the building. "So want to come over to my place and chill?"

"Sorry man no can do," I replied. "I'm still grounded for being suspended. I have to go home right now. But I can hang out next week, alright?"

"Yeah it's ok," said Saix. We said our goodbyes and I headed for my car. I hoped in and tried to turn it on. But it wouldn't for some strange reason. I tried another five times but still nothing. I looked at the dashboard and saw what the problem is.

"Are you for real? Out of gas," I said. I got my stuff and got out of my car. I locked it and head towards the gate. "I can't believe I forgot to put gas into my car. Now I have to walk home." I got to the main gate but I wasn't the only one. I saw a really spiky brunette with sky blue color eyes and small build body reaching the gate as well. Said person notice I was there as well and gave me a kind smile.

"Hello Axel," Sora said. I took a moment to look at the kid and he looks like he got something off his chest and now he's a bit happier.

"Hey there Sora," I greeted him. "I see that you followed my advice and told someone about your troubles and decided to stay in Destiny High."

"Ah yeah… but wait how you know that I told someone of my troubles?" Sora asked with a curiosity in his voice.

"Well just by looking at you. You seem happier then the last time I saw you. The smile you gave me is a dead giveaway," I said. He chuckle a little and looked up to me.

"I've never seen you walk home before," Sora stated.

"I don't but me being me and stupid I forgot to put gas in my car. So now I have to walk home and that just baits a big one," I said with a voice that tells that I'm annoyed. Sora begins to laugh a little again and then I started to as well. We both laugh for a minute or two. We calm down and exhale. "Well I better get going. I'm grounded and my folks are going to be thinking that I went to a friend's house or something."

"I see… which way are you going?" Sora asked.

"I have to walk that way," I said while pointing my finger in the direction of the park that's nearby.

"Oh, I go that way too. We can walk together, if that doesn't bug you that is," Sora asked. I looked away a bit and wait a second to reply.

"No I don't mind Sora," I said. "It's a good opportunity to get to know my new friend." I turn back and gave Sora one of my goofy grins, in which he smiled and laugh at.

"Yeah, okay let's talk some more," Sora said. "But what about your car? Is it okay that you leave it here overnight?"

"Yeah it's okay," I replied. "It will be fine and in the morning I'll bring some gas for it." Sora nods his head and we start to walk home. "Maybe I'll get a few days off my punishment since I did so well on the mid terms."

"Oh you did," Sora asked. "What rank did you get?"

"I got the fiftieth place in the junior class. So at least I score in the top fifty," I stated with pride in my voice.

"That's great Axel," Sora said. "You must have studied a lot to get ranked."

"Well… I was kinda forced to study by Saix," I said embarrass. "He saw my score on one test and he made me go to his house or the library to study."

"Oh… but you still worked hard and in the end it shows that you did," said Sora trying to give me confidence in myself.

"Thanks," I said. "So how did you do on the mid terms?" Sora looked at up me all and gave me a little timid look.

"Oh… I did… okay," Sora said and laugh a little like he was embarrass. "It doesn't really matter."

"Come on Sora," I said. "Just tell me. I swear that I won't mock you about your score."

"Well I got…top score," Sora whispered in the end.

"What did you say," I asked. Sora was trying to not say but I'm going to find out.

"Uh… I said that I got the top score on the freshmen class," Sora said. My jaw dropped from hearing that. I didn't think that Sora was a nerd, matter of fact he doesn't even look like one.

"You got top score?" I asked all stupid like.

"Yeah, well I actually tied with my friend Pence. We both got the same score," Sora said.

"Damn you're smart Sora," I said in awe, which it seems to embarrass him. "You know how much easier school will be for me if I was that smart."

"It's not that hard really. I just do my work and listen in class, that's it," Sora said again all timid. "Let's change the topic. Did you know that the sign-up sheet for the camping trip is up?"

"Haha okay let's talk about that and yeah I did," I said. "I already signed up for the trip. What about you?"

"Yeah I sign up myself and my friends for it," Sora said. Right at the very moment we reach the end of the park. I didn't even realize that we were even in the park. Once I started to talk to Sora it just comes out so easily.

"Uh look at that the end of the park," I said. "Need to head left what about you?"

"I go right," Sora said pointing right. "Well it was good talking to you Axel. I'm glad that we're friends. Well, see you tomorrow, bye." Sora then walks way to the direction of his home. While I watch Sora walk away I remember what Saix said this morning 'I don't think you should hate him this much'and 'but it still seems that you still throw too much hated at him. There has to be another reason.'There is a bigger reason why I hate Riku more then I should. In fact it's been in my head since the start of this school year. I then remember one thing Roxas told me the day of the School's Events Assembly as well when I met up with him outside the side gate of the school. 'Really you're over her. I didn't think it was going to happen until you found someone else.'

"You're right Roxas," I said to myself. "I did find someone else and that someone else is Sora."


That's is it for this chapter! Wow I had a good time writing this chapter, I hope you all liked this chapter all about Axel. It's revealed wow Roxas and Ventus became friends with Riku and the rest. The little back story about Axel in his freshmen year. The little fight scene in this chapter, which I'll tell you right now. I'm not really a big fan of that scene. Not because they were fighting but because I didn't think it was well written. But the thing all you must be all shock about (or I hope you're shock about) is the reveal of Axel feelings for Sora. I don't know if I was a little bit too discreet in the few scene of Axel and Sora. But I believe it was hinted in the third chapter where Riku calls back to the first day of the new school year. Well anyway that it for this chapter. Wait until the next. Okay bye :D
