Chapter 2: Lab Partners
---x------
"What?" Sora glanced over to his dazed friend and let out a small laugh.
"Hey what's so funny?" Demyx flared to his brunette friend.
"Oh, nothing, Hey what's your first class anyways?" Sora said grabbing an orange piece of paper with all of his classes.
"Science, with Miss Lockhart."
"Same here!"
"Well, lets go… only two minutes till the bell!"
Demyx pushed the classroom door open and smiled. Soft blue eyes looked up at the people who had walked in, as her blonde hair flowed past her shoulders. She held a small sketch pad up to her chest and she wore a simple white shirt with a jean skirt.
"Do either of you happen to be… Demyx?" the small girl asked. Demyx face began to turn a light pink, as he waved his hand in the air.
"Okay, you're my science buddy then" She placed a small smile on her face as Demyx quickly took a seat next to Sora. Demyx looked at the index card at Sora's desk and read…
"Riku and Sora…"
Sora shrugged his shoulders and Demyx stood up to take his own seat, as the classroom slowly filled up. Sora's eyes widened as he saw the same silver haired teen he saw in the alleyway, make his way to the shiny little seat next to him.
Letting out a small nervous laugh, he noticed the older teen smirk, and look at the petrified brunette.
"Sora, eh?" The eldest of the two noticed that the younger one had clenched his hand into a fist on the small black science table in front of them, and seemed to be a bit flustered.
A complete silence filled the room, and instantly Sora and Riku glanced up. A woman with black hair to her waist, and a white polo shirt stood up in the front of the room. Her dark blue eyes scanned the room as the lights form the ceiling reflected off of her small black rimmed glasses.
"I am your Science teacher, Miss. Lockhart. Just as a opening note I would like to say that, The person you are sitting next to is going to be your Lab partner for our first take home project."
"Tak…take… home…" Sora slowly placed his head on his desk and listened to Riku let out a small laugh.
"Is it really that bad to be, my partner?" Riku said with a fake, yet pitiful looking frown.
Sora looked up at his pathetic attempt and rolled his eyes. Moving his attention to the teacher he half fell asleep as Miss. Lockhart droned on and on about rules.
The bell sounded and everyone hustled out of the classroom. Sora held back and waited for Demyx, as he finally approached the door.
"Namine is amazing, Sora, she is perfect for me…" Demyx went on and on while he stayed in his dream world. Sora just nodded and looked at his schedule.
"What's your next class?"
"English…" Demyx groaned as he quickly took a turn to the left and Sora followed..
"Gym…" Sora said as he passed Demyx in the hall and bid his farewells. Striding down the hallway he quickly took yet another sharp turn almost running into another girl. Finally reaching the two double doors, he pushed them open and was greeted with a large room with a basketball court in the center. Two teachers stood in the middle as the kids filed into the bleachers.
Sora eyed the kids already sitting to see if he knew anyone. Soon enough he heard a loud yell from the top of the bleachers.
"Hey Sora…" A familiar voice called out. Sora looked in that direction and instantly knew who it was. Roxas with his stupid friend, Hayner.
Sora knew that this would be a horrible nightmare of a class, especially when they actually got to sports. But Sora thought too soon.
"I am Leon, your gym teacher, Unlike all your other classes, were skipping all the rules and going straight to a game I like to call… Dodge ball." The tall man had rather long brown hair and was wearing a loose white t-shirt and some black gym shorts. A red whistle hung around his neck as he quickly numbered everyone and separated them equally.
"Grreeat…" Sora thought to himself as he noticed Hayner and Roxas on the opposing team. Taking a deep breath and a rather large gulp the whistle sounded and a red ball went flying in his direction. Quickly ducking his eyes widened and he quickly grabbed a ball and held it up in front of his face.
Roxas let out a howl of laughter as he grabbed another ball and hurled it in his direction. The ball that he had thrown had hit the ball that Sora held tightly in his hands. The ball in his hands slipped and slammed into his nose. Sora let out a small "Gah!" And rubbed his nose, dodging yet another ball thrown in his direction.
"Look out!" A girl called out as one of the bigger balls hit Sora square in the jaw and knocked him over and face first into the ground below. The brunette let out a small groan as he felt a fleet of balls pound him in the back.
A whistle sounded and Leon walked over to the two offenders.
"Roxas, Hayner, after school detention,"
Satisfied the two of them bumped fists and walked over to the penalty box. Leon came over to help the helpless one up and that was about the last thing Sora remembered about that day. Everything else was a huge blur.
On the bus he took a seat in the middle and zoned out until Kairi came on the bus and sat next to him slowly.
"Sora? I'm, I'm sorry about …" Kairi looked to her hands and bit her bottom lip. She figured Sora wasn't listening until…
"It's fine…" he mumbled. He was totally out of it from all the events from one full day of school.
"So, are we still… friends?"
"Yeah…" Sora gazed off into the window as his house slowly approached. He got his stuff together and stood up, and got off of the bus.
"Bye Sora" Kairi's soft voice said as she took off across the street. Sora waved and slowly walked to the door of his house. His step mom sat on the couch inside and looked to the door.
"Where is my son?" she glared in Sora's direction.
"He got a deten…"
"No Excuses!" Larxene yelled.
"Detention with Leon…" Sora rolled his eyes as he made his way to the stairs. Quickly running down them he shut his door behind him and fell to the floor. His first day of official high school, officially sucked.

The silver haired teen took of in his car down a unfamiliar street. He had only been down it one other time, which was to visit…
"Roxas isn't here…" Larxene said with a snappy voice.
"I'm not here to see Roxas miss, I'm here for Sora…"
"Excuse me?"
"Sora? I heard he lives here.."
"Downstairs…" Larxene gave him a weird glance and returned to her spot on her lounge chair.
Riku let himself in the house and slowly walked down the stairs. Placing his hand on the wooden door handle he opened it slowly and was surprised to see cinnamon colored spikes laying on the floor of a rather empty cement room.
The cinnamon spikes quickly looked up and let out a small yell.
"What the hell! Ever heard of knocking!" the small figure yelled.
"Hmmph… that's beside the point, we have a science project to do… if you don't remember."
Sora rolled his light blue eyes and sat himself up and quickly eyed the corner where the blood stains on the wall remained from the night before. He would rather not have some almost complete stranger rambling through his room and asking him about the random stains everywhere.
"I remember…"
"Good, now… Our topic is… Anatomy of the Male body"
"Hell no!"
"You know you like it Sora…" and with that statement Sora's face instantly flushed a bright red and he tried to hide it but was sure that Riku could see all the embarrassment, and would make it worse.
"See? Your turning red at the sound of the project itself!"
"Shut up!"
"Suit yourself… Just figured you should know, considering you completely ignored the teacher the entire hour…" Riku said as he turned to the steps… "See you tomorrow…" He smirked as he walked up the steps and to the door where he ran into Roxas.
"Hey Riku, what are you doing here?" the boy asked with much curiosity.
"Science project, with Sora.."
"Oh really now…" Roxas let out a small laugh.. "In class with all of the little sophomores!"
Riku glared at Roxas as he walked out of the door and slammed it behind him. He hated when people made fun of him for being in the 'stupid kids' class. Slamming his car door he quickly drove away to his own house.

"So Kairi, why did you dump Sora?"
"He was just acting weird…"
"Really?"
"No, I just dumped him for that Demyx kid…" Kairi laughed and looked at a rather flustered Namine…
"Heh, about that…"
"You like…"
"Yes…"
"No way…" Kairi giggled and tossed herself onto Namine's bed
"He's my lab partner…"
"NO!"
"YES!"
A few high pitched squeals were heard and they continued there small girl talk when suddenly a knock was on the door. The girls were silent and Namine let out a light
"Come in…"
As the door opened a blond haired boy walked in with a small flush on his face.
"I was just, wondering, what our science project subject was…" Demyx looked from Kairi to Namine with a small blush on his cheeks.
The red head nudged Namine in the side and she let out a small yelp.
"Uhh… I can't remember… but…"
"Will you go out with me?" Demyx randomly shouted out. His eyes widened as he didn't mean to let that slip. A dark red blush formed across his cheeks as Kairi gasped and covered her mouth.
"Go… out… with…" Namine was in complete shock and couldn't think straight. Sitting down on her bed Kairi stood up and laughed…
"Namine meant to say… I would love to go out with you," Namine slowly nodded at her statement and fell back into her bed. Demyx waved a quick goodbye and ran out of that house as fast as he could.
