Alright, I lied. This chapter sucks just as bad...lolz. I didnt really think I shouldve posted this. I was going to redo it, cause I was too lazy to review it. And then I realized, I was too lazy to redo it in the first place...I need to kill something...

And OMG art blocks suck soooo bad!! D:

I can't believe that people actually like this strory. I mean it's not a lot a lot, only about 10 or so people, but still a lot more than I thought. It was just kind of an experiment story like my other one 'Stranded on Heartbreak Island' which sadly to say, isn't doing so well. Harharharh. Might redo it…ANYWAYS… thank you RoraShigoto, Tenshi, Cyhyr, Launchshinra, TheOptimisticPessimist, and Xamagirl for the reviews!

I DON'T OWN KINGDOM. HEARTS!!! -Stabs people who think I'm stealing it-

Okay now to the story.

Chapter 3

What Did You Do?

XxXxX

Zexion POV:

I stood next to the wide eyed Demyx boy I just met. Why the hell was he so stunned at this school? It was a dump.

"Wow…" I heard him say as he stared at the school.

"There's nothing special about this school…it's just a school." I said. He just shrugged and kept staring. I shook my head unbelievably at him.

"Hey there Zexy!" I turned in the direction of the voice. It was them. Those sick bastards. My heart felt like it jumped out of my throat and ran away. My eyes immediately started watering, and my first instinct was to hide. And the only thing to hide behind…was Demyx. I clung to his waste, burrowing my face into his back. I started shaking, and I could feel his shirt getting damp with my tears. I would have to apologize for that later.

"Why are you so scared of me, my little Zexy? Its okay we won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you…In my truck…" he laughed. I clung tighter to Demyx, and I felt a pair of lanky arms wrap around me slightly. I looked up at him. He was staring at me.

"Wha-what is he talking about? Why do you look so scared?" all I did was keep crying, and staring, eyes pleading him to protect me somehow. I felt like such a cry baby but seriously, how would you react if your rapist wanted you alone?

Demyx looked at Landon and his friends. "What did you do to scare Zexion so bad?" he started stroking my head ever so slightly.

"What? Oh Zexion, you haven't told your new little boyfriend yet?" he took a couple steps forward. My eyes widened. "NO! DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME! DON'T LET THE HURT ME AGAIN!" I yelled. People around us started to slow down and stare.

Landon looked around nervously. "Shut up! You don't want anyone finding out do you?" no actually, I didn't. I didn't want people teasing me for anything else. Like for example people teased me for being 'emo', but I didn't want people saying 'oh look it's the queer little emo boy who loves anal'!

"…no…" I managed to whisper. "Demyx…please, don't let them…" I whimpered.

"Just come with us Zexion, and nothing too bad will happen, okay?" he smiled, that evil, loathsome smile.

"NO! You bastards don't come near him!" Demyx growled. He glared daggers into the beings in front of us. But all they did was laugh.

"You think you can scare us? Hah, you must be kidding me." He paused to fix his hair. "You're new here and I understand you don't quite know the pecking order in this school. So as a nice innocent kid I am, I'll show you." He started to walk towards us, hands squeezed tight into now red fists. I started to breath heavier with every step they made towards us.

I noticed some people stopped to watch us. Demyx let go of me and started walking towards them as well. They met face to face. Literally, there faces were inches apart.

"I don't know what you did to him, but if its enough to make him that scared, I think it pretty bad. So tell me, WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"None of your business queer!" Landon pushed his shoulders. That obviously pissed Demyx off. He punched Landon straight in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. Some people clapped and some cheered.

"Go new kid!" I heard someone say. I just sat there watching. Landon snapped his neck around so fast it hurt ME. "You little mother fu-"

"So Demyx this is how you want to start your year?"

We all turned around to see the principal Mr. Xaldin, standing there.

"Crap…" is all Demyx could say.

XxXxX

Demyx POV:

"So Demyx, you weren't even in the school an hour, and you already managed to almost break someone's jaw. What could possibly motivate you to do that?" I sat in front of the principal's desk, scared as anything. This dude was HUGE and to be honest, kinda nasty looking. Dreadlocks, huge sideburns, and nasty looking eyebrows weren't exactly the best combination to me.

"Well, uh, you see, my friend Zexion, he uh got scared when they came up to him, and they were saying really confusing stuff. And then he walked up to me and then he called me a queer and then I got mad and, well…you know."

"Punched him?"

"Ya…"

"Well, since this is your first day at school, and not to mention a way different school you've ever been to, I'll let it slip with a bit of detention. But next time, I won't be so generous alright? But you have to understand that punching someone in the face isn't the right thing to do." I almost jumped over the desk and hugged him. At least he was nice about it and didn't want my head on a wooden plaque so he could hang it over his fireplace.

I smiled. "Thanks sir, it won't happen again."

"I'm sure it won't." He said flatly. "Now go to class. Here's a hall pass." He handed me a green sheet of paper with some information on it, and then I left.

"Oh and Demyx?"

"Yes sir?"

"Do you know what exactly happened to Zexion?"

"Uh, well they just beat him up I guess?" I honestly didn't know what happened, but since he was so scared of them, and he was all cut up and bruised, that's what had to have happened. Right?

"Thanks for your time, now shoo." He didn't have to tell me twice. I ran down the hall to my first period class, Science. I bust through the door and set the green paper on the teacher's desk. He diverted his attention from something on the white board, to the sheet of paper, then at me.

"Oh, Demyx, welcome to my class. I'm Professor Xemnas, take a seat wherever." I nodded and sat next to some weird kid with huge red spikes on his head. He was, in his own special way, sorta hot. He had this weird feeling about him though.

"Hey I'm Demyx." He looked up from his notes with a sorta bored look on his face. That face quickly went away when he had a good look at me.

"Hey there hotty, the names Axel. A-X-E-L, got it memorized?" I smiled, trying to hold back a huge blush. No use though. I felt my face turn a shade of light pink.

"Hahah thanks, but I don't think I needed to know how to spell it."

"How bout we get together sometime?"

"Huh?"

"My bed tonight, kay?" My blush crept down my neck. He narrowed his eyes cannily, smiling.

"Naw I'm just kiddin, unless…" He put his arm around my shoulder.

"Axel if you please? I don't think poor Demyx here wants you to flirt with him." Professor Xemnas crossed his arms on his chest impatiently. Axel laughed.

"My bad." He took his arm off me and went back to what I now recognized as drawings. Good ones actually.

"Right, well how bout we're just friends for now?" I said when the professor turned around.

He looked back up to me. "Perfect." He gave me a thumbs up. I laughed quietly at him. "How bout you come over to my house tomorrow? Ya know, to become better 'friends'.

"Sure why not? But I might have to take my brothers with me. They go to this school as well."

"Sure, y'all can just ride home with me in my jeep." I smiled sweetly, then hearing the class door opening and closing. I looked up. It was Zexion. Where had he been?

XxXxX

Zexion POV:

I ran to the bathroom shaking. After the principal arrived at the fight scene I had taken off. I eventually made it to the bathroom, unnoticed of course. I quickly checked for people, and when I knew the coast was clear, I walked in a stall and slammed the door. I locked it and sat down on the closed toilet seat. I sifted through my backpack and found what I was looking for, something sharp. I pushed up my sleeve and held out my arm, gently rubbing the razorblade against my fragile skin. After a while I pressed harder, drawing a good amount of blood. I did that in a few more spots eventually stopping when I heard someone come in. I waited till they left to break down. Why was I so emotional? I hadn't cried this much in a long time, ever since my mom and dad had died. Were my problems big enough to be this emotional?

Sighing and patching myself up I started making my way towards my first period.

I walked into the classroom, trying to ignore the silent stares and not so silent giggles. I noticed Demyx looking at me. When I finally sat down I looked at him fully, and of course he gave me a sweet little smile. I gave him a half-hearted one back, then got out my book and started to read.

XxXxX

Edit: Much better, even though I'm not completely satisfied with it.

Sorry for the shortness and crappiness of this chapter. I suck at writing, but come on I DO NOT have any experience behind me. Still just making this story up as I go.

Anyways, there are hints in what's about to happen. Like for example… im not telling you XD. Ya you'll find out. I'm starting to figure out where I want this story to go and to warn you all it's very emotional. I might add some things to this story that are in my life maybe make it more personal and interesting.

Please please PLEASE review! It motivates me to go on!

Come on its one tiny click! And it's right there!
