Meh. I apologize for not updating sooner. I was on a major writer's block and my teachers gave me homework like woah. That probably made no sense, but whatever. I'm forcing myself to type. Yeah.

My birthday was on January 16th. Just letting the people that care know. Thanks for being patient.

It's My Life

Chapter 8: The Dramatic Event...!

I woke up at five AM. Five AM! I groaned and rolled off the couch. Wait, why was I on the couch? I looked over. On the other side of the couch I saw a certain blonde sleeping. Right. Namine. Last night. My face heated up as I remembered what happened.

I stood up, yawning. Why must I always wake up at five? Even if there was no school? Shaking my head, I walked to the bathroom. I yawned again and looked at myself. I looked at my blue eyes, and then at my natural spikes. Why did I even have natural spikes...? Why was I even asking myself such weird questions? I sighed and made sure there was a clean towel. There was, so I shut the door to the bathroom and locked it.

I needed to take a shower. I'd take a quick one. Namine wouldn't get up this early like me, would she? I hoped not. I undressed and stepped in the shower.

After about twenty minutes, I stopped the water and stepped out of the shower. Wrapping the towel around the lower half of my body, I made my way to the sink. I splashed cold water on my face and looked at myself. My spikes were sagging because they were soaked. I looked different with my hair down. I shook my head and the water sprayed everywhere. The spikes began to stand up again.

Man, I was being very weird this morning.

I opened the door, and walked out. I made my way past the living room, noting that Namine was still asleep. Thank God. Something caught my eye outside the window. I thought I saw something...no, someone! Instinctively, I grabbed the towel to make sure it wouldn't fall.

"...Roxas..?"

I whirled around, my eyes widening. Oh no...

Namine. Awake. Sitting up. And I was half naked! My face reddened as did Namine's. Silence followed as we stared at each other, blushing madly. Time seemed to stop.

"Uhhh..uhhhh...s-sorry!!" Time had resumed again and I held onto the towel as I ran up the stairs as quickly as I possible could.

I closed the door and locked it when I got to my room. Flopping onto my bed, I groaned.

"Oh man..." I maoned into the sheets of my bed. "How embarrassing!" How was I going to face Namine now? It would be very awkward, that's for sure.

A knock on my door brought me back to reality. "Huh? Yeah?" I asked.

"Umm... Roxas?" Namine. She sounded embarrassed. "S-sorry."

I smiled a little. "You don't have to be sorry. I didn't know you'd be awake." I let myself laugh uneasily.

"Well, I usually wake up much later then now, but I guess today was different." Namine replied. "I'm going to leave you alone now so you can get dressed." She laughed a little.

"Okay." I replied stupidly. I heard Namine's footsteps fade away. I sighed loudly and stood up. I pulled on some causal jeans and grabbed a shirt. I opened my door and walked back downstairs.

Namine was sitting on the couch, looking at the backside of one of the DVDs that I left out from last night. She heard me and looked up. Then she quickly turned away. She was blushing and she didn't want me to see it. But I did. I pulled on my shirt. "Why's your face so red?" I asked, teasing her.

"It's not red." Namine replied, looking at me again. "See?"

"It was a second ago," I stated.

"It was not." Namine insisted. I sighed in fake defeat. Then I spontaneously lifted my shirt up.

"Roxas!" She yelled as she turned away quickly. I looked at her.

"Hah! Your blushing!" I let my shirt fall back down, as I pointed.

Namine frowned. "Cheater," she murmured, looking at the back of the DVD again.

It was my turn to blush. Did she just call me a cheater? Did that mean she liked me...? I turned away before Namine could see my face. Thankfully, Namine didn't see. I decided to change the subject.

"Hungry?" I asked.

Namine looked up and grinned. "What do you have?"

I told her all the food we had for breakfast and we sat down at the kitchen table. We ate and talked. It was not awkward at all and I was glad for that. We were still friends. Maybe, just maybe, we were getting closer... and then maybe we'll become more then friends.

After Namine left my house at around noontime, I had nothing to do. Absolutely nothing. I sat outside on my porch wondering what to do. I could call someone... but since it was Monday, they were probably busy. I turned on the radio which sat on the table that was on my porch. Some very bad song was being played so I turned it off. I sighed.

"I am so bored!" I yelled to no one in particular, as I stared at the clear sky. How strange, it was a clear sky yet it was almost winter. The breeze made up for it, however. I shivered as a gust of wind blew in my face.

"Roxas? What are you doing?"

I jumped, surprised. "Huh?" I looked over. It was Olette and Hayner. They were on the sidewalk right in front of my house. Holding hands. I grinned.

"Olette and Hayner. What a cute couple!" I started to squeal like Selphie would if she saw them together.

Hayner blushed as he let go of Olette's hand. "Shut it, Roxy!" He yelled, calling me by my most hated nickname.

Instead of yelling back, I grinned wider. "Oh? You don't like to be embarrassed, do you?" I tilted my head, still acting like Selphie.

Olette was blushing madly and laughing at the same time while Hayner became even more red and angry. He suddenly charged straight at me. "You asked for it, Roxy!"

I yelped and ran the other way. Hayner caught up to me within seconds, though. He was a star track runner, after all. He tackled me to the ground. Olette ran up to where we were fighting and tried to break us up.

"Hayner!" She yelled. "Stop trying to kill Roxas!" She pulled Hayner off of me. Where she found the strength to pull Hayner off was beyond me.

"Yeah, Hayner. Listen to your girl friend!" I said, chuckling. Hayner lunged forward and he fell on top of me.. "Alright, alright, alright! I'll stop!" I shouted as he pressed my face to the ground.

After kicking me twice on the side, he folded his arms and smirked. "You are forgiven. For now."

I rubbed my side where he kicked. I honestly have no idea why boys always hurt each other. Even though I was a boy, I still did not know. Smiling I said, "I never said I was sorry." Hayner made an attempt to jump on me again, but Olette held him down.

"Jeez, you guys. Always fighting," Olette said, shaking her head. "Don't you ever talk it out?"

Hayner smirked. "It's boring to talk it out." Typical Hayner.

I laughed as I led my two friends back onto the porch. We sat down. Now I was bored with my friends. It's a start. Soon, we'll have some crazy Hayner-Ideas and we won't be bored any longer.

"Hey, guys," Olette started.

"Yeah?" Hayner and I asked at the same time.

"You do know...about the dance?" she asked shyly.

I gulped. "What? A dance?" I asked. Oh great. A dance? A freaking dance?! I shook my head. Was I supposed to ask Namine to the dance..? And a dance is the most dramatic event in a relationship...oh God. I've been with Selphie far too much for my own good.

"Our poor school is hosting a dance?" Hayner asked, acting bored.

"Yeah. It's our second one in the whole year. We have to go, it's a once in a life time chance!" Olette said excitedly.

Hayner sighed. "I hate big events." He said.

I decided to worry about what I would do about the dance later. Right now, I just had to tease Hayner some more. "Aww, Hayner, come on. I know you want to go so you can make out with Olette."

"Roxas!" Olette shouted, blushing once more.

"That's it! Not even Olette will stop my wrath!" Hayner shouted as he lunged for me. I jumped up, laughing.

I fled from my angry friend, thinking at the same time. I sure could multi-task. Worry about my emotional issues, while running away from Hayner, the fastest boy in school. Questions kept going through my head. Hayner had finally caught up to me and tackled me to the ground.

As Hayner and I wrestled, I wondered: What should I do? A dance is coming up!
