A/N Hey Guys

Enjoy the new chapter. :)

'Uggh… Biology…'

Roxas walked silently through the corridor, on his way to his… ahem… favorite class, Biology.

He'd been right about Hayner, Pence and Olette; when he passed them earlier, they ignored his wave of greeting with blanks looks. How nice of them.

Roxas turned to his left, into his Biology lab. He swung his bag over his shoulder and dumped it on his desk.

There was the usual 'havoc' going on in the room; some of the guys were setting fire to themselves with a Bunsen burner, a gaggle of girls were playing with the skeleton they fondly called Jack.

Roxas felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket.

You have one new message.

The screen read. Roxas selected the un-read message.

heyaaaa roxieee! I miss you sooo much and we reeeeally (reeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy) want to come to yours this weekend! I know you'll let us, so SEE YA THERE! LOVE RIKKU YOUR BESTEST BUDDY WHO WANTS TO SEE YOUR PRETTY FACE AGAIN! ... oh... and the rest. SEE YA!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(LUVVVV)

Roxas felt a small smile creep onto his face; at least his old friends hadn't forgotten him… Quickly, he sent back:

Sure, I'll have 2 ask tho. x R

He shoved his phone back into his pocket, feeling a lot happier, just in time, the teacher strode in beckoning to someone. A boy of about medium height, with blue/grey hair that hung over one eye, followed her through the door right to the front of the room as she had signaled.

"This is Zexion; he's just transferred, okay?"

That's weird… why didn't he start when everyone else did?

"Now, where would you like to sit?"

There were only three free seats; one right at the back next to a group of guys, another between a bunch of girls, the bag that had previously taken that chair had mysteriously disappeared, and finally, one next to Roxas.

"I'll sit here, thanks." He said, walking over and taking the seat next to Roxas. The teacher looked rather taken aback, it had been a rhetorical question…

"…Fine…" She said, regaining herself from the rebellious teenager's choice. "Um… Right… Chapter six in your text books please."

Roxas flicked through his textbook, casting a side-ways glance at Zexion

Why the hell did he sit here?

"So… What's your name?"

"...Roxas," Roxas answered, nervously. Nervously? Shouldn't he be happy that someone was being nice?

"Okay, Roxas…" Zexion seemed slightly put out. He probably thought Roxas didn't want to talk to him. That wasn't entirely true.

"Err…" Roxas started, trying to spark up a conversation. "How come you came today?"

Zexion looked up from the book they were supposed to be reading. "My family moved in yesterday."

Roxas nodded, smiling slightly.

He's not half bad, actually…

"Yeah, I only moved here a couple of weeks ago. I live with my cousins now."

"Oh, why?" Roxas paused. He couldn't go straight out and tell this guy he hardly knew. Sure, he seemed nice enough, but that wasn't enough. He vaguely wondered why he had told Axel. In Roxas' books of 'First Appearances Mean Everything' – usually – someone like Axel would be distrustful and you couldn't tell them anything. Yet, Roxas found himself confiding in him like he had known him his whole life.

Thankfully, Roxas didn't need to give an answer because of their teacher telling them to 'shut up and read the bloody chapter'.

Zexion raised his eyebrows and did what looked like a pathetic excuse for a smile at Roxas. Roxas grinned back.

"Riku? Are you okay? You've hardly said anything to me all day." Sora asked the boy next to him. Riku turned to him and smiled weakly.

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Sora knew that he was covering up; he'd known him for too long not to realize when something was wrong.

"Riku, I know you're trying to hide something from me. And I'll get it out of you - one way or another." Riku could see he was trying to make a joke and lighten the air but he just sighed and shook his head.

'No, Sora. You'll never get this out of me. That would be so… not good.'

The slivery-haired boy cringed at the thought of Sora finding out about his little secret.

Sora raised his eyebrows and Riku saw a different tactic coming on.

"Riku! We're best friends! We're meant to tell each other everything!"

'Except that tiny little secret perhaps. but he doesn't need to know about that. Sora thought weakly, turning away from his friend, hiding a soft blush.

He didn't know what he'd do if Riku found out about that. The prospect was unimaginable.

Riku frowned. "Yeah, we are," Riku said as Sora turned round. "Though, are you hiding anything, Sora?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows – now, he was trying to lighten the mood. But it worked in the opposite effect. Sora could feel his piercing, aqua eyes look right into his, like he was trying to pierce his aqua eyes right into Sora's brain and read his very thoughts.

Sora flushed again and shifted in his seat. "N-no, of course not. Why would I?"

Riku raised an eyebrow as though his point had been proved. Which it had. The were both keeping things from each other. The suspicions they had, however, were entirely wrong.
