The Desperate and The Clueless
Chapter 4
Nothing More Than Fiction
Demyx woke up to the sun shinning in his eyes, he groaning tiredly as he stumbled out of bed. 'Why was he up again? Oh yeah school.' He stumbled blindly towards the bathroom, fumbling for the bathroom door.
Once inside, he stripped out of his dolphin decorated PJ's and turned the shower on full blast, grasping for the nearest shampoo bottle. Squirting directly into his hair and began to scrub. 'Oh vanilla.' He did a quick scrub with the lemon grass soap before tossing it behind him.
Stepping out of the shower, grabbing a towel, and walked the short distance to the sink and got ready for school. Brushing his teeth methodically, counting each brush stroke. He then took out the stuff he would need to fix his hair and truthfully this was why he woke up so early it took him a half hour or more to fix his hair just right.
After Demyx was done fussing with his hair. He got on the uniform that didn't look good on him at all in his opinion, but hey, it was mandatory. He grab his satchel that he keeps all his books in and walked out the door. 'Maybe, he would get to hang out with Marluxia today. Today was going to be a good day.'
One of his favorite classes, English. He even liked the teacher who was eccentric at times, sometimes he would just go on rants for no reason.
"Ok, class it's the first project of the year, you're going to have to do a mini biograph on an author of your choice."
Demyx was excited about this project, it would be fun! He knew exactly which author he would pick for the assignment.
"And you're going to do it with partners."
There was excited chatter which the teacher allowed to go on for a few moments.
"And you don't get to choose who you're working with. I have already made up the list. "
Groans resounded through the class, Mr. Feebish had the habit of pairing you up with the person you liked the least, He said it was good experience. Most just thought he liked to see them fail.
" Ok Yuki and Renji."
" Ichi and Luki."
" Jimmie and Noki."
---------Many Names Later------------------
" Axel and Demyx."
Demyx's eyes widened. 'No! There was no possible way he had heard that right.'
He raised his hand "Uh, excuse me, Mr. Feebish? Um, could you please say that again?"
Mr. Feebish looked up from the paper, raising his eyebrow. "I said you will be working with Axel on this project, would you like me to repeat what your working on as well?"
"No sir." Crocked out Demyx as he tried to disappear under his desk and possible melt in to the floor.
'He was screwed.'
He peaked over at Axel to see his reaction, he looked annoyed.
'Just great.' He groaning inwardly.
"Please have one person from your group get the guidelines off my desk."
Since Axel made no move to get up from his desk, Demyx went to get it, he did a cursory glance over it.
He paused before approaching Axel's desk.
'Come on, Demyx, you can do this, you're in class right now. There's nothing Axel can do to you!'
"Axel?"
"What?" He even sounded annoyed.
"Well, I wanted to ask you about the project."
"What project?" He said with confusion etched on his face.
"The one the teacher just handed out, a few minutes ago."
'Wasn't he paying attention?'
"And you're here why?"
"I was assigned to be your partner." Demyx couldn't help stuttering, he always did whenever he's nervous. 'Axel doesn't look too happy, maybe he should ask him later... much later.'
"We could meet at the local library after school and discuss the project."
All he got was a grunt in reply, and give a dismissive gesture. 'Ok, I'm taking that as a yes.' He wandered back to his seat.
'It couldn't get any worse than this.'
Demyx grabbed the books he need off the shelf, and hurriedly walked to the table that had papers and other books spread across the surface. The books were slammed against the table. This was the third day Axel had failed to show up, and Demyx was beyond mad. On the first day, he had waited until closing time at 8, he had lost a whole day of work just waiting for Axel. And he missed the last bus and ended up walking back to school, he didn't get home until 11! But still he was optimistic that Axel would show up. Maybe he didn't know were the library was at, so he had tried to talk him about it, but he was either just brushed off or ignored all together, he had ended up leaving a note in his locker. He still hadn't shown up, so finally he'd just given up.
'This is an important project! It makes up almost half their grade for this semester and Axel didn't care! Maybe he just wouldn't do it either! Who was he fooling, of course, he would do it, he always did his work.'
He sighed, 'better get to work for both their academic sakes.' Cracking the book open, he began the work meant for two people.

Instead of put a chapter 5 preview, I decided to show you the other story I'm working on.
The Gray Room
One day, Demyx woke up in a strange room. He remembers nothing, but he's not concerned for his lack of knowledge. There was no color, everything is in shades of gray. He never runs out of food and he always has clothes. Though, his food is plain and tasteless and his clothes were simple and thin. He never once questioned The Gray Room.
