Face Down
Chapter 3
-He Wasn't-
Finally, it was Saturday. None of my friends nor Axel talked to me all week! I knew why my friends avoided me, but Axel?! I knew something was wrong. I woke up that Saturday at around 11:00 in the afternoon and quickly got dressed. I was going to apologize to Axel for what I said, and hopefully get him to forgive me. He didn't smile once all week, so I had to do something. I ran downstairs and opened the front door.
"Where are you going?" Sora asked suspiciously.
"None of your business," I stated simply, and left the house. I hurriedly jumped the fence and rand the doorbell. Axel answered.
"Roxas?" he said confusingly.
"H-hi, Axel," I stuttered, "Listen, I just wanted to apologize for what I said the other day."
His expression quickly brightened.
"That's alright! No harm done!!" he said happily, putting an arm around me. I was kinda surprised that he took it so well. I was also extremely surprised that I actually apologized to someone! I mean, the last time I apologized was when I was like 8-years-old, and that was for putting gum in Namine's hair.
"Why don't you come inside?" Axel asked. I shrugged and walked in. I followed Axel into the kitchen where his mother was cooking breakfast.
"Who's your friend?" she said over her shoulder. She had long brown hair that was kept neatly in a braid, and gorgeous green eyes just like Axel.
"This is Roxy-kun!!" Axel beamed, smiling brightly. She smiled and turned back to the stove. Axel skipped to the dining table and sat down. I sat down in a chair next to him.
"Daddy!" Axel called to a man sitting across from us at the table. He had bright-red hair and green eyes also. Gee, I wonder where Axel gets his looks from...
The man jumped. "Whaat?" he said, in an almost whiney tone.
"This is my friend, Roxy!" Axel said, clapping.
"Uh-huh," the man said, burying is face back into the newspaper he was reading. Axel suddenly stopped nearly bouncing off his seat, and stared into space for a brief moment when he suddenly said, "OHH LET'S GO UPSTAIRS TO MY ROOM!"
Before I could answer, he was already dragging me upstairs. I never really gave Axel a chance, y'know? I just immediatly started assuming that he's this total moron that I was oh-so-lucky to have hang around me all the time. But as we hung out for a while, I found that we liked a lot of the same things. I mean sure, my intelligence and attention-span is probably extremely high compared to his, but he really seemed like a cool person. Even if he did giggle and clap everytime he finished a sentence.
--------------------
It was around 5pm when I suddenly realized that I had spent the whole day at Axel's house. I don't know what it is, but there is something really likeable about him. Weird, I know.
"I should get going," I said, getting up from the floor.
"Okay!!" Axel said happily, and we both walked downstairs.
"Thanks for having me," I thanked Axel's parents, but they seemed to be caught up in some sort of argument. I jumped the fence and was about to walk up to my front door, when Axel called out, "Hey, Roxy!" and ran up to the fence. I turned and looked at him.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks," he said with a sweet smile, and leaned in and kissed my cheek. Wait--what?!
I stared stupidly at him, and watched as he skipped happily back to his house. I stood there at the fence for a few minutes before I finally realized what had happened. Axel kissed me.
--------------------
I was lying in my bed that night and thinking about what had happened that day. The same words kept running through my head over and over...
Axel kissed me.
I felt so weird about it, and yet, I think I enjoyed it. I smiled at the thought. He really wasn't what I thought he was, he was so much more.
