I forgot to mention that this program is only for kinds going into grades 11 and 12. So everyone there was about the same age.

Sorry this took forever to get up! I just worked 7 days in a row and I'm pretty tired and blah blah blah. I had another story I had to update for, otherwise I would have gotten shot.

Well, here it is, another chapter with craziness.

Company Secrets

Chapter II: Part II: Evening


After listening to some short gay guy talk about all the rules and regulations of PFEW, and how he hopes "God" blesses us all, we were split up into our companies.

Lucky me, I got assigned to be in Demyx's group.

No Axel, thankfully.

No Sora, sadly.

Our company meetings were on the second floor of Macarthur Lounge, in some really depressing and cold room. It looked more like a large cell for crazy people: white walls, two very very tiny windows, and also had two black boards, and about 20 or so desks.

"Well, come on Roxy. Lets sit next to each other!"

"Roxas. My name is Roxas." I muttered under my breath.

This was going to be longer than I anticipated.

"Okay everyone! Please sit down!" Our company advisor (all he does is make sure our work gets done, he isn't here to help us... That jerk-face.) shouted over the non-talking of everyone. That's right, you read correctly, no one was talking. Then again we were all strangers here. I only knew Demyx out of luck.

Pfft, some luck that is.

After pulling the desks in a large circle, and Demyx taking a seat next to me, our company advisor, Joe, began talking about the week ahead of us and blah blah blah. I wasn't really caring about what he had to say.

"So how about we go around in the circle and tell everyone a bit about yourselves?"

I saw Demyx sit up straight. He was literally bouncing in his seat. He spoke to me when he noticed that I was giving him a curious look.

"I LOVE meeting new people!"

.../////Well good for you, Demyx. You don't have to do jumping jacks for it.///////

"Okay," Joe said, slapping his hands together then rubbing them greedily. I was starting to get a little creeped out by this guy. "I'll ask a few questions and we'll all go around and answer them. Only one word answers if possible!" A few people looked excited to be here and about meeting new people, ahem-Demyx-ahem, but there were a couple people who probably felt like I did.

They either wanted to just go back to their dorm, or home.

Me, I wanted to go home.

While they were going in the circle and gave their various one word answers, I thought of possible ways to "accidentally" hurt myself so I could go home. While staring at the ceiling, contemplating, I got an elbow in the side.

"Roxy!" Demyx whispered.

"Roxas! My name is Roxas!" I glared at Demyx who just chuckled lightly. I looked around me and noticed that all eyes were on me. "Uuuh, what was the question?" I asked Joe, scratching the back of my head.

"You already answered, Roxas."

"O..kay." I said looking back at the desk, now a little flustered. I heard Demyx chuckle again to my left. This was getting annoying.

...Or I could just get myself kicked out by punching either Demyx, or even better, Axel.

Not that I have anything really against Axel, yet. I didn't know him well enough. But after what little time we really did spend together, I already wanted to punch him and wouldn't regret it in the slightest.

"Roxas!"

"Yes, sir?" I said, looking at Joe.

"Just call me Joe, not sir. Anyways. Were you paying attention?"

I shook my head, being honest. And really, to be honest, I didn't give a shit what the guy had to say.

Joe sighed. "The question was, if you could go anywhere in the world right now where would you go?"

///////Home.///////

"Um, Probably New Zealand."

"Interesting," he said. I noted that he made a comment in his little trapper keeper/binder thing. Seriously, what adult carries one of those around? I haven't touched one of those things since I was in the 6th grade. Anyhow, he was probably making a comment about me not being able to pay attention.

You know what?
It freaking happens.

Things are just boring, I've had little sleep and a long drive, and I just want to get back to the dorm so I can fix up my bed and go to sleep.

I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket, even though we aren't really supposed to have them (what're they gonna do, take it away from me?! Ha!) and checked the time. 2 o'clock. Damnit. Registration was over at 11:30, and the meeting with the short annoying guy was over at 1:45. Wow. This really is a lot longer than I thought.

Well, there was about another half hour of questions, really ridiculous ones at that. "What's your biggest worry??" being one of them. I mean, what kind of a question is that? And maybe I don't really know what my biggest worry is, or maybe I don't really worry about anything! It's none of your business! Whoops. Rambled on too much there.

We were in The Cell for a while, talking and getting to know each other. We found out more about the week. Our product was cell phones.

Yay.

That's all the information we get about it. The rest is for the "company" to make up. We had to come up with a name, special features, and other things for cellular devices. Cell phones seemed easy enough. I wasn't too worried about it.

Maybe I should have been though.

"Now," Joe said, standing, "we need a name for our product. We'll start there."

//////Like we'd start anywhere else./////

"Anyone have any ideas?" he said, walking over to one of the chalk boards and picking up a piece of chalk.

A few people had ideas, others took other people's and expanded them. But.
They all basically sucked. In my opinion, at least. But then again, who was I to talk?

Blah blah blah. A lot of unimportant, not even note worthy stuff went on. I met a couple of really awesome people, and Demyx got on my nerves a little more but everything was going well. I was finally waking up a bit. Too much going on around me to be sleepy.

"Hi there, um, Roxas?"

"Yeah?"

I turned around to see a blond skinny girl standing behind me, slightly blushing.

"Hi there." She was cute. Thin frame, long blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin. She was wearing a light blue knee length skirt, and a white tank top, with white flip flops. She was very pretty.

Crap.

"You're name is Roxas, correct?"

I put a hand behind my head and looked up to the ceiling. "Uh, yeah. That's me. And I'm sorry," now I looked at her, "I didn't catch your name."

"Namine," she giggled.

Yeah, crap. Girls and me usually equal trouble. For me. Girls clingy.
Roxas likes his space.

"That's a nice name." She giggled again at the compliment.

Right now would be a really good time for Demyx to come around. I looked around the room to see him involved in talking to a somewhat nerdy kid. Great, looks like a can't depend on Demyx.

I sighed and looked back at Namine. Her smile faded a little and she looked at me somewhat seriously.

"So did you come here with someone you know?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Oh? Like a friend?"

I looked to her left, my right, at the desk there. "No, my brother."

"Oh! Is he younger or older than you."

Double shit. "Er, no, we're twins."

"You're a twin?!" Namine squealed. I hate telling people that I'm a twin. I always get the same reaction. All the girls freak out because, supposedly, I'm oh-so-hott and there's two of me. Whatever. Girls can be so annoying sometimes.

When Namine squealed that I heard a couple of girls go "He's a twin?! Do they look alike? I hope he's as cute as Roxas!" I hate it when stupid girls say that. They are automatically judging my brother.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM! DON'T SAY STUPID STUFF! Is what I really want to shout at them, but instead I just keep a blank face and shrug.

"Yeah." Not going any further than that.

"Well, that's cool! I've always wanted a sister. I'm an only child though."

"Oh, well," I shrugged, "I guess your life is quieter than mine. There's no bickering going on." Namine laughed at that.

"Okay, guys! And girls too!" Joe said loudly, trying to capture everyones attention. "We have another speaker downstairs. We will be back in here afterwards, so you can leave your stuff here if you want to. The door will be locked." A couple people nodded. "Alright then. Let's go."

Out of no where, Demyx linked arms with me. "Let's sit next to each other!" I snaked my arm out of his. He pouted at me.

I shook my head. "Fine." He shrugged and linked his hands behind his head as we walked down the stairs together to, what I now call, the Dungeon.

(x) (X) (x)

The speaker took a total of 15 minutes to explain the rules of the dorms. Don't be later than 11:00 p.m. or else you'll be locked out of the dorm and then the Rooming Advisors will be super mad at you and they will have to turn you into the annoying leader guy. Dorm check is at 11:30. That's when you need to be in your dorms with the lights out. Blah blah blah. I got that when the annoying guy told us about it.

But, finally, we were allowed to go to dinner. It was almost six o'clock and we were just now allowed to go eat. And they didn't even serve us lunch! Bull shit!

I was starving and I just wanted to find Sora. I wanted some normallicy.

Don't think I was going to get that.

"Hey, Roxy!"

Nope, not at all.

I stopped in my tracks towards the dining hall and turned. "Roxas, Axel! My name is Roxas!" I saw that Sora was behind Axel, smiling, but seeming slightly out of breath.

"I'm so glad we found you!" Sora said gleefully as he reached me. We continued walking until we reached the end of the line.

Line?

I looked in front of me to see a huge line of other kids waiting outside the dining hall. "What the -?"

"So, Roxas!" Sora grabbed my attention. "How do you like your group? What's your product?"

"Ah, well..." I scratched the back of my head and looked behind Sora to see Axel and Demyx engaged in conversation. They seemed kind of secretive about it. "Demyx is in my group, which got a little annoying," I whispered, just to make sure Demyx didn't hear me. "And we're doing cell phones. I have no idea what else. Everyone seems really nice. Oh yeah, and there's this one girl in my group that already started hitting on me." Sora chuckled. "And, gah! I hate it when people find out we're twins and they say stupid things like 'Oh! I hope Roxas's brother is as cute as he is!' Ahh! I hate it!" Sora chuckled again.

"Well, aren't you used to that by now? Anyways, we all know I'm the cuter one!" I punched Sora, lightly, in the arm.

"Don't be a jerk! But yeah, I should be used to it, and I am, but that doesn't mean it can't get on my nerves!" Sora shook his head and pushed me forward, since the line had moved up.

"Get over it. But I'm doing skateboards! It's awesome!"

"Are you in the same group as Axel?"

"Unfortunately, we're not, Roxy." Axel piped in.

"ROXAS! GET MY NAME RIGHT!" I shouted at him. He just put his hands on his hips and laughed.

"You know you're adorable when your flustered." To hide my face, I quickly turned to my left and looked at the ground, clenching my fists. Sora laughed nervously, not knowing what to say. Demyx threw his arms over both Sora's and my shoulders.

"We are going to have so much fun together this week! Yay!"

"Demyx, you know you're an idiot right?" I shot back at him. He took his arm off me, but only to put it around Sora.

"You're brother loves me! Don't you, Sora?"

"Sora, don't answer that. And if I find out that you've done anything to my brother while you are sharing a room, I will kill you." I promised.

"Oooh! Demy! You'd better listen to him! I think Roxy here would really do it!" Axel said sarcastically, standing directly behind Sora. "What about you Roxas? What if I try to do something to you in the night? Think you can take care of yourself?"

"Wanna try me?" I said hottly. Demyx and Axel laughed, while Sora just stared wide eyed at me.

"H-hey, look. The lines moved way up while we were talking, not arguing, so lets move up." Demyx let go of my brother, thank God, and we came closer to the stairs. You get up the stairs through some doors and the line looks like it's going downstairs. This place is fucked up.

After we got inside, grabbed some food and a table. We, including Axel and Demyx (to my misfortune), sat together, while we picked at the uncooked chicken.

"This is fucking ridiculous." I mumbled.

"Oh, tell me brother. What is oh-so-fucking-ridiculous?" Sora asked, rolling his eyes.

"They don't give us lunch and then the food they try to give us isn't cooked! I didn't even realize it wasn't fully cooked until I got to the middle! Screw this! I'm going back to my room." Angrily I picked up my tray and put it on the moving line.

I walked out of the dining hall. Stupid Axel. Stupid Demyx. Damnit, Sora! You didn't have to mock me in front of those bastards! I was glad to know that we were allowed to walk around the campus the rest of the night until we had to be in the dorms at 11. I pulled out my ipod and stuck the headphones in my ears. Again, playing it on the first song that came up, and full blast. I sautnered my way around the dining hall into the Quad[trapaligic (the grassy area) on the sidewalk up to the dorms. More stairs and a right turn, walk straight avoid some people, and I've made it to the front of the dorm rooms. There seemed to be so many steps here for it being such a small campus (which it is). But I finally made it up my room. Without thinking or caring, I threw myself onto the unmade bottom bunk.

I thought about making my own bed. I thought about finishing unpacking. I thought about taking a shower, and many other things, but eventually, my eyes just drifted close.

(x) (X) (x)

"Roxas."

I felt something shaking my shoulder and it was getting annoying. I, also, smelled some minty fresh breath. Well at least it didn't smell.

"Roxas!" The shaking continued. I swatted my hand at whatever was shaking me.

"Sora, shut up." I mummbled. Well, at least I thought I said that, I wasn't thinking.

Now I was being gripped by two hands and both my shoulders were now being shaken. "Sora! Stop it!"

"Roxas! You need to wake up!" I turned myself out of their grip and onto my side, with my back facing the annoyance. "ROXY!"

"What?!" I shouted, sitting up, way too fast, and turning to whatever just shouted in my ear. I hit my head off the top bunk. "Owe..." I rubbed my head, meanwhile the person that woke me laughed.

"You alright?"

I turned to see Axel (what a surprise!) leaning over me. I nodded, but kept my hands on my forehead. "What time is it?" I groaned out.

"8:30. You've been up here for over 2 hours." I just then realized I still had a headphone that was no longer playing anything in my ear, which I pulled out. Finding my ipod and rolling up the headphones around it, I swung my legs to the side of the bed, making Axel take a step away from me. I rubbed my face.

"Where's Sora?"

"I'm not sure. I think he's still outside. We were playing soccer, but I didn't see the light on in the dorm, and I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Well, Sora wanted to come up here, but I said I'd do it."

"Right, okay." I said, getting off the bed. "Sorry I fell asleep on your bed."

"Hey, Roxas."

"Yeah, Axel?" I ambled over to my bag and pulled out a towel, along with my shampoo and body wash.

"Do you really hate me?"

I shook my head. "No, I haven't known you long enough to hate you." I turned to look at Axel.

"Alright. Roxas, are you sure you're okay? You look pale, but a little flushed."

I batted Axel's hand away from my forehead. "I'm fine. And why is it that you change completely whenever it's just the two of us? Are you really that much of a prick, that as soon as Demyx comes around you have to change your personality?"

"Well, I..."

"Because right now, I can tolerate you, but as soon as... whatever."

Axel stuck a hand at the back of his head, playing with the large firey spikes there. "Roxas... I... I... I can't really explain it, Roxas... It's just." He scratched his head. "I dunno."

"Spit it out, Axel. You have a split personality disorder, or something?"

"No, Roxas, I just... I just wanted you to like me, and you know..." Axel stopped looking at me and stared at the floor. "You know, I want to be friends, but I can't usually control how I feel or express it, and whatever."

I relaxed my tense position. "That's it?" I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Axel, you are one crazy character." I scoffed. He looked up at me with hope. I gave him a half smile, and strolled past him. I left him in the room, staring after me as I walked a little down the hall to the bathroom to take a shower.

Axel sure was one crazy character, alright.
And there was just something about him. When we talk like we were, it gives me this feeling that there's more to him.

And possibly. More to us.

I found that last thought very awkward, and quickly brushed it off.

Turning on the shower, I hurriedly washed my hair and body. I hate public showers like this. It's really annoying.

///Maybe tomorrow I'll get to know him better and then he won't seem as annoying to me. I probably just need some sleep,/// I thought to myself. /////Yeah, that's probably it.////

I finished up my shower and tied my towel around my hips. I grabbed my belongings and headed back to my room which, thankfully, wasn't but a few doors from the bathroom.

When I got back to the room, Axel was already laying in his bed, blankets covering him, regardless of the heat, reading a book.

"Whatcha reading?" I asked him as I closed the door behind me.

"Hm? Oh, the 6th Harry Potter book. The next one comes out soon and Demyx is gonna kill me if I don't finish this one before I get the 7th one." He said, not even looking up. I took that time to stealthily pull my boxers up underneath my towel and unwrap the towel. I put on my pajama pants and grabbed my sheets.

I should have done that earlier. This is going to be difficult.

After struggling for almost 10 minutes, and quite a few laughs from Axel, I finally my bed made. I crawled under my blanket.

Ahhh, so comfortable.

"Hey Axel, do you mind hitting the light soon?"

"Not at all, Roxy."

I was about to protest, but his book closed and the light went out. I didn't feel the need to agrue.

"Thanks, Axel." I said the best I could without falling asleep.

"Good night Roxas."

"Hm, night, Axel."

Finally, silence. I didn't even think I'd be this tired after that nap, but I was still dead tired. And hungry.

"Oh, Roxas!"

"Hm?"

Axel seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Oh, nevemind. It's nothing. I was going to ask you about where you live and your life, but your too tired. So we'll talk tomorrow."

I sighed. "What do you wanna know? Quickly, I would like to get a little bit of sleep tonight." Unwillingly, I opened my eyes.

"Well..."

I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep.

Good thing I had that nap


A/N:

I need to make these chapters better, they are starting to piss me off. D:

Okay, terms.

1) Quadtrapeligic: The large grassy area in the middle of the campus (in the first chapter where workers were walking to point you in the direction of the lounge area).

2) The Dungeon: (really called D001, why I don't know) Is called this because this is where you get trapped for hours listening to people (some fun speakers, mostly boring ones) would talk to you about whatever it was they wanted to talk about.

3)The Cell: where company meeting are held, the rooms are scary white.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, too tired. It's four in the morning and I'm beat. but if I remember anything else, I will stick it at the top of the next chapter.

I know I know, the 7th Harry Potter already came out, but I'm writing this a lot like what my experience was like and my best friend (who likes to shoot me in the throat if I don't update my chapters) wanted to kill me because I haven't finished the 6th book and the 7th one was coming out the weekend we got back from PFEW (which we now call 'business camp'.) And other stuff so yeah. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can.

Tootles!
