School has officially started which sucks but I have cooking first block so it isn't soooo bad. It's taking a while to write the new chapter since I have only a little time between school, work and hardcore gameing lol.
Chapter 3: Locker Partner
Like a ghost, you overshadow everything in my life.
The next morning Roxas awoke feeling refreshed. He happily met the hustle and bustle of his house in the morning. And then he was off to school with both his brothers. And he was truly happy until Sora opened his big trap.
"Have you heard about that new transfer student? I heard he burned down the the gym at his old school!" he chirped.
Demyx spoke up, "I heard it was the lunchroom he burned to cinders. Though why anyone would torch food is beyond me."
Roxas looked away and said, "You're both wrong. It was the locker room."
Sora turned on him, "Really? How are you so sure?"
"I talked to him. He said it was the locker room. But there wasn't enough evidenceto be charged with arson."
Demyx spoke again, "Wow you talked to him? How?"
"He's joining the drama club."
"No way! Not your dumb club after school!" Sora exclaimed skeptical.
Roxas knew how to shut him up though, "Well if it's so dumb why is Riku in it?" Sora immediately turned red and grew quiet. He'd had the biggest crush on Riku since the third grade, though no one had noticed until almost seventh grade when, when no one had asked them, Sora invited Riku to the school mixer. He had never been so meticulous with his appearance before in his life. So if Sora was grating on his nerves Roxas knew to play that card to shut him up. Though he knew he shouldn't. Paybacks are a bitch, he just couldn't help it.
After that the rest of the walk to school was relatively quiet once more. The brothers parted at the gate and went to meet up with friends. Sora went off to go find Riku, Demyx was off to find Zexion and Roxas was left to hunt for Hayner. Hopefully Hayner would wait to formulate devious plans until Roxas was there to talk him out of them.
Just as he was putting his bag away and deciding to look on the science wing for Hayner Roxas heard a call from behind him, "Hey there Roxy how's it hanging?" Roxas had half a mind to ignore the man he knew would be standing there, just because he hated the butchering of his name.
But his better instincts kicked in and he turned to Axel, a calm expression on his face as he said, "Morning Axel, not so bad and you?"
"Nothing too bad only I can't find my locker." Axel stated with a disgruntled look. "I swear I've been up and down this hallway like thirteen times and have yet to find it."
Roxas sighed and decided to help him. "I can help. What number is it?"
"Number 813. I was told it was here in the English hallway but-" Axel cut off which didn't matter since Roxas hadn't heard a thing after he said 813. No way. Locker 813 is my locker! I have to share a locker with him! I actually don't know if that's good or bad.
After a few seconds Roxas found his voice and said, "This locker behind me is 813."
Axel, not missing a beat said, "But didn't you just put your stuff in that locker?"
Roxas, somehow with a still composed face said, "Well yeah. It's my locker too, but lockers in this school are large and it's not unusual for there to be two or three people assigned to a locker. One time there were like eight in a locker, but they were all friends who hated who they were paired with. (1)"
As Roxas babbled Axel started to smirk, "So wait let me get this straight. I get to share a locker with Foxy Roxy? No way!"
And that was about it with Roxas's self control. "What the hell did you just call me?! The name's Roxas. Not Roxy and DEFINITELY not Foxy Roxy! Roxas. R-O-X-A-S got it memorized?" Roxas gruffly threw the man's own catchphrase back at him.
"Woah, woah Roxas." Axel said with his hands raised defensively, "I was just playing." After saying that Axel moved to put his things in his locker. Roxas stared at him incredulously. By this time the hallway was getting crowded with other students with varied reasons for being there. As Axel brushed past him to head to his next class Axel leaned in and whispered quickly in his ear, "By the way I wasn't lying earlier."
At first Roxas didn't understand. Then he realized that Axel was really saying he was Foxy Roxy. Oh great! Now what am I going to do? He thinks I'm sexy! Well he wasn't lying but what if he was just messing with me? I can't let myself get too excited.
And with this thought in his head Roxas headed out into his school day.
1. This actually happened in my school in my older brother's time. He told me about how like eight people shared a locker ment for two and never got in trouble with it. I thought it was cool.
So there it is. Chapter 3. Sorry it's a little bit shorter than the other two but whatever right? I want to get to at least 10 reviews before I put up the next chapter (which is outlined and going to be started tomorrow) So review or I won't put it up when I'm finished. btw this story is dedicated to Chiikara since without her i never would have gotten this story idea started. luv u chii! till next time!
