Chapter 2
The first didn't end up very well. I know I know. It's not that kind of good. I hope this one is better than the first. And I do hope I get a beta reader since my English is a little whacky.
"Dammit I died again. this game sucks." Sora yelled.
"Sora, will you shut up. I've been hearing you said that since the game's title screen."
"How can anyone beat this game?"
"Uhh... I don't know. Probably because you're brain is up in your ass. Now be quiet cause I'm going to call Olette."
"Not helping, dude." said Sora whilst his eyes was so focused at his game.
"Who said I would."
Roxas took his Xperia and placed it beside his ear.
"Argh! God I hate this game." He yelled again.
"THEN JUST BURN IT IN THE TRASH OR EXPLODE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE GODDAMMIT I'M TRYING TO CALL SOMEBODY HERE NOW SHUT YOUR SHITTY ASS UP! God." Shouted Roxas with his eye twitching madly. The room went silent after that.
"Hello, Roxas?"
"Ah, Olette thanks for answering my phone call."
"So, what's up?"
"Listen, I wanna talk too you about the you know what."
"What?"
"You know... the you know what."
"I'm sorry what?"
"What's going on." Sora suddenly butted (lol) in.
"What? Who said that?" Olette asked.
"It's just Sora. Ignore him." Roxas grabbed Sora's face. Intending to push him away.
"What?"
"Is that Olette?"
"Yes, I already told you now will you both please stop with the whats." The blonde cried. He shoved Sora. " Dude, mind your own business please!" He hissed. Sora sat as his face was filled with laughter.
"Roxas, are you still there?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Since, there is so much disturbance." Roxas glared at Sora and he gave him a 'what did I do?' gesture.
"Would you mind if we meet somewhere."
"Yeah, Yeah, I would love to." Olette sounded Delighted. It was Sunday so there was nothing to do.
"Great! I'll meet you at the cafe 3 o'clock, got it?"
"Sure, see ya there." The phone clicked.
Roxas chuckled as he closed the phone.
"Well, well, what do we have here?." Said Sora with an awfully huge grin on his face.
"What?" Roxas replied with an annoyed tone.
"What? Oh nothing it's just from the game."
"Quit playing games and do your homework."
"Roger that, Rox." Roxas entered his room.
It was two past thirty, the blonde was fully dressed in his usual clothes.
Roxas walked to the door. "Where are you going, my man?" Sora asked. Roxas was surprised that Sora could tell even though he was not looking right at him. Maybe he had a sixth sense?
"I uh… have an arrangement to do."
"Arrangement? What the hell? What kind of high school student talks like that? Are you really Roxas?" He laughed loudly.
"Shut up."
"Yeah, whatever. Just make sure you can take care of yourself out there." Sora snorted.
"Relax, I'm not you."
Roxas knew that if he told that the truth he wanted to meet with Olette it would lead to misunderstandings, especially this is Sora of all people.
"I'm off."
"Yeah, take care."
Roxas opened and closed the door.
Roxas took a sip from his latte, his head jerked back.
"Ahh..."
Olette just stared at him, giggling.
"So, what do you want to talk about, Roxas?" She started the conversation.
Roxas changed his positions his back hunched a little, his head was little closer to Olette. "Did you remember the accident at the biology lab?"
"You mean the day when you slipped and accidentally kissed Axel? That was priceless, should have taken the picture." She laughed.
"Ew... What the hell? I told you to forget that already! And it's not that one." Roxas face turned red. "It's the other one."
"About you and me." He faced the other way, he could tell that Olette's face turned red.
"You mean when we ... ." She replied quietly while facing the floor. The last word was a little muffled.
Roxas eyes locked at the brunette haired girl. "What? When we... what?"
"N... No it's nothing important really." The brunette shook her hands.
"Come on. Tell me!" He said with a curious tone.
"We just fell." She forced a smile.
"Then how come I don't remember anything?"
"You were unconscious after we fell. So, I carried you to the infirmary." She continued.
"Oh... did you remember when did that happen?"
"three months ago."
"Our first month of school?" She nodded. Roxas didn't believe her at first, but he had known her since middle school. She had never lie to everyone, except when she wanted to slack off a bit.
"So, what about it?" She changed the topic and her expression was stoic.
"Okay, lend me your ear." She did what he said. ( not literally) She moved her head a bit closer to Roxas.
"I think I'm being stalked by somebody." He whispered.
"You? Get real!" She pulled her head back and laughed.
"I'm serious."
"Got any prove?"
"Hell yeah I do!"
Roxas hand reached his pocket, and pulled something. "Well, Someone took a picture of us while you weren't looking." Roxas stopped and shoved his hand into his pocket. "Maybe it'll be better if you don't see it. I don't want you get involved."
"No, it's okay, I want to see it." Roxas handed the picture to her. "There were ten copies in my locker. I burned eight and kept two with me."Where's the other one?" She asked.
"Here. This one has a text on it." Roxas put it on the table.
"'You are mine'?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I still don't know what it means though." He continued.
"Did he or she left another warning besides this?"
The blonde shook his head. "Nope. Nothing. I guess the culprit's still thinking about his or her next move."
"Olette, by any chance do you remember who was in or near that lab?"
"No, there was nobody there except the two of us, Roxas. We were ordered to bring the chemical components to the lab."
"Just the two of us?"
"Yeah, I swear. Wait, I remembered we passed Naminé while we were carrying the components. Maybe she's the one who took the picture."
"What? No way she wouldn't do that. She would never stalk anyone."
"What's this?" Olette smirked. "Well, what do you know, Axel was right."
"Excuse me?" Roxas raised an eyebrow.
"You do like Naminé." She laughed. Roxas face was covered in bright red. "Shut up!"
Roxas yelled. "That bastard Axel!" He said quietly.
"Relax, Roxy, everybody likes her." Olette gave him a pat on the shoulder and a bright cheerful smile. Roxas eyes widened. He thought to himself. Was Olette really this cute? He always saw her smiling. But this was the first time he realized. Oh yeah, I remembered what Axel told me. Lately the guys in the school have been hitting on her. But, all of them got rejected. Even though I'm her best friends I still don't know who her crush is. Does she even has a crush on someone? Wait, why do I care?
"Olette? Is that you and Roxas? Heyyy!" Roxas was familiar with the voice it even gave him a sudden chill in his body. Olette gave him a grin and a nudge. The figure ran towards the two.
"Oh, hello, Naminé." Olette responded, she said her name out loud by purpose. Roxas stood up quicky.
"Well, I think that's all for now see you later, Olette. Oh, hey, Naminé didn't know that you're here. Well nice knowing you, bye." He dashed out of the cafe. He knew that if he didn't leave soon enough, Olette wouldn't stop teasing him.
"That was close as hell."
He turned his face to look back through the window. His eyes locked at Olette's face.
"Why is she sad?"
"I'm pretty sure she was smiling back there. On top of that where's Namine?" Olette was all alone. He felt guilty for his actions. But, it didn't stop him from running away.
Roxas was walking down the pavement. He was filled with sorrow.
"Arrgh, just because I left her alone. Why do I feel so much guilt inside me?" He scratched his head violently.
Every shop he passed left nor right, none of them was interesting to him. And then, he suddenly stopped because something caught his eye (not literally). He saw a girl that really resembled someone he knew. Roxas walked towards the girl.
"Xion?"
"Yes?" she responded but her head was facing the object behind the window.
"Oh, Uh, nothing I just want to say hi." She ignored him.
"So, something caught your interest?" Roxas continued.
"Look, I know we just met. But, if you wanna flirt please find... ." She stopped after her face met Roxas's.
"Someone else to flirt with?" Roxas ended her last sentence with a chuckle.
She suddenly turned away quickly. She murmured while her hands was holding her face... maybe... He couldn't tell. The only thing he saw on his vision was Xion's slender body from the back and he strangely enjoyed looking at it.
"I'm so sorry, Roxas." She immediately ran away from him.
"Wait! Did I do something wrong? I know I didn't brush my teeth this morning but is my breath really that bad? I'm sorry" He shouted at the girl. The girl ignored him. "And how did she know my first name? What a weird girl" he murmured. He noticed something was dropped on the ground. "She must've dropped this when she left. Damn she sure is one hell of a runner."
He opened and read the letter. Roxas smiled warmly.
"So that's why."
Later that night at his apartment.
"God, what is he doing? I'm starving to death here, dammit!" Sora whined. He was lying on the sofa that was placed in the living room.
Sora heard a knocking sound on the door. "Coming!" He cried. He opened the door.
"Roxas! Dude, can you get any later?" He said. "It's 9 pm like where have you been all this time."
"Sorry, man, it turned out longer than I expected." he chuckled. Sora looked him in dismay. His eyes was locked at the large plastic bag that the blonde was carrying. "Roxas, what's that?"
The blonde followed his cousin's eyes that was staring at his goods.
"This? Just some ingredients." Roxas smiled. Sora closed his eyes and shrugged. "Whatever, say, what's for dinner?" Sora put his hands on the back of his head.
"Grilled beef." Roxas entered and closed the door with his feet.
"You sure do like beef." Sora gave him a playful grin.
"You know me." Roxas smiled.
Roxas was in his room getting ready to get some rest. Roxas turned the lights off, the room went dark less than a second. He launched himself to his bed as usual. Roxas tried to think it over and over. But, it still didn't make any sense to him. he whispered to himself. "I hope Olette's gonna be okay."
