Chapter 2

Namine is surprised to find out that the spiky haired boy who helped Xion was Roxas who has straight hair and wears glasses at school compared to how he looks now. Namine then came back to reality.

"Oh sorry it's just that having a completely different hairstyle can really change a person."

"I can say the same to you too." Roxas chuckles

"You too?!" Namine says in her head and picturing her appearance at school. Her wearing makeup and having her long hair drapes over her right shoulder.

"You must care a lot about your home and family." he smiles."Well I think it's about time I should get going thanks for the drinks Namine."

"It was no problem. I would like to thank you again for helping Xion."

"Roxas let me walk you to the door." Xion said

"Sure."

They both head to the front door while Namine grabbed the empty cups into the kitchen sink. As Namine was preparing dinner Xion entered the kitchen and sat next to the dinner table.

"Dinner is almost ready Xion."

"Okay. Hey Nami I want Roxas to come over again. Do you think you can ask him to come over."

"Sure." Namine says smiling while putting plates on the table.

Next Day

During lunch break. Namine was having a blank face because of how Roxas looks in school compared to his appearance yesterday is a big difference. "Are they really the same person…"

She was just staring at him while Roxas was focusing on his book not noticing her. Namine then buries her face onto her desk. Her actions starts to worry Kairi.

"Namine are you okay?"

Namine got back up "I'm fine." then stares back at Roxas. "Are they really the same person. I can't believe it but what's worse. Now he knows what I look like at home, not even Kairi and the others know..." she thought to herself and covers her face with her hands.

Sora entered the classroom and went up to Kairi. "What's wrong with Namine?

"I'm not sure…" both just staring at her.

Namine is struggling to go talk to Roxas. She hoped to get his attention but he never took his eyes off the book. After think for some time Namine finally build up the courage to go talk to Roxas. She got off her chair and made her way towards Roxas while confusing her friends on where she was going.

"Namine, where are you going?" Kairi asked but Namine just went straight to Roxas.

"Umm...Roxas do you think we can talk after school?"

"Uhh...sure Namine."

"Alright talk to you later."she waves off.

Roxas waved back then continued reading his book and as he was reading he smiled.

After School

"Eh...You're inviting me to your house again? Are you sure?"

"Yes it's fine." Namine smiles but tries to hide it "But I'm not the one asking it was Xion's idea. She wants to play with you again." trying to deny it.

"Alright since it's fine by you. I should probably get her a box of sea salt ice cream."

"No, you don't need to do that." she said. "It's nice to know that Xion will be happy."

"I'm surprised though…" he said

"By what?" she asked

"That you came up to talk to me. Because of what happened yesterday, I thought you would try and avoid making contact with me."

"Why would I do that? I thought it was weird at first seeing you like that but I don't mind at all, we're both on the same boat aren't we so there shouldn't be any reason to avoid you." she stated

This causes Roxas to blush from what Namine has said. Namine then notices that his face is blushing. "Why are you blushing?"

"It's just… feels awkward." he said nervously. "Anyways, thanks." he smiles

I never thought I would see Roxas smile this way. "You know Roxas you should have your hair spiked up and remove your glasses in school too." she suggested

"Um…" Roxas started shaking the back of his head. "But my piercings would be more visible then."

"Oh that's right. Speaking of which how many piercing do you have?" she asked

"About 8. I have 4 on each ears."

" Don't you think that's too many..." she questioned

"That's what my mom said too." he laughed. "Well I'm gonna go get Xion those ice cream before I get there."

"Didn't I say it's fine."

"I don't mind, See you later." Roxas said as he leaves the school.

Few hours later

After Roxas came by to visit I learned a few interesting things about him. 1. He isn't an otaku he just enjoys reading manga. 2. His family seems to run a bakery. 3. He did his piercings himself in middle school with a safety pin. And lastly, he doesn't seem to study well as she looks at his test scores.

"Wow Namine you're amazing you nearly got more than 90 for your test scores!"

"Hehe Thanks." Namine blushes. " Speaking about our scores, aren't people who are quiet and wear glasses assumed to do well in school?" she said while thinking it was stereotypical but true most of the time.

"Are they really?" Roxas asked casually

"..." Namine just stared at him.

"What are these Roxas?" Xion asked

"These are final exams and if you fail them you have to do the retake exam paper to pass." he explained.

"I don't think Xion can understand it yet." Namine giggled

"No, I understand it!" Xion argued.

"Is that so? Well, what's this? Tell me the range of X." Namine showing Xion a problem from her finals.

"Uh..the range of X?" Xion struggling to answer

"See I told you, this is the most basic knowledge so when you're in high school Xion study hard."

"Hahah!" Roxas laughed from what happened between Namine and Xion. He laughed ended shortly after being glared at by Namine.

"People who can't even find their way around the basics shouldn't laugh"

Roxas felt as he just got a punched in the stomach and tried to recover, "But they let you move onto the next grade as long as you don't actually fail, you know!?"

Namine stared at Roxas blankly and continued to look through his scores and noticed something. " And for some reason, your only perfect score is in Health and Physical Education…"

"Maybe I'm just good at finding my way around the human body…" he states

"Stop that. The way you say it makes it sound dirty."

Xion then asked Roxas more questions about the classes and his paperwork while Namine grabbed a supermarket flyer and looked through it but starts to think. "Seeing Roxas like this make me realize all over again...how off my first impression of him was. I don't think there are many people that see this side of him." Her thoughts were interrupted by Roxas.

"What's that? A supermarket flyer?" Roxas asked

"Oh yeah." she was caught by surprise, "There's going to be a timed sale on eggs tomor…" she stopped and looked over her left shoulders. She realizes how close Roxas's face was to her. "His eyelashes are surprisingly long…"

"Hey Namine you alright?" Roxas asked

"Shoot..I was staring at him without thinking." she coughed slightly "Sorry, like I was saying the supermarket is going to have a timed sale. The eggs will be cheap and there is no limit to the amount you can buy."

"But the sale runs until 4:00 P.M. You'd be cutting it close if you go after school, are you sure you'll make it there in time?"

"Nah, it'll be fine! As long as there won't be any emergency committee meeting or anything… I'm going to get us some eggs."

Next Day After School

"All committee members please report to the A.V room after homeroom…" the school intercom announced.

Roxas stood there silently looking at the intercom then to Namine and saw her face palming.

"WHAT'S WITH THIS TIMING…!?" This depressed her that she won't be able to make it to the sale in time. "Still...I can't give up!" she took out off phone and rapidly started texting and dashed off.

"Uhh...Namine." Roxas tried to to talk to her until his phone got a message from her. "Times sale egg tag. Thanks!" The message leaves Roxas under pressure now that he has to get the eggs.

"Hey Roxas about the team report I was thinking- huh?" Neku asked

"If you're looking for Roxas he just ran off."

Roxas grabs everything from his locker and leaves the hallway. "How much time do I have left!? Twenty minutes… Looks like I'm going to have to take a shortcut and jump the fence at the side of the school." As he runs he takes off his glasses and fix his hair to spike up so that they aren't in his face. He looks around to see anyone around. "Good looks like no one is here! I'll just jump right over the fence and.." Just as Roxas jumped over the fence he nearly crashed into a red haired girl.

"EEP!" Kairi screamed as she saw Roxas jumped over the fence

"Oh...it's the girl that's always with Namine…" After getting over the fence he lands in front of Kairi. "Sorry! I'm in a hurry to get eggs!" he shouts and continue to run to the supermarket.

"HUH!? WAIT!?" she tried to tell him but was gone. "When was there a new cute boy in our school?" she questioned.

35 minutes later

"I'M NEVER GOING TO…. ANOTHER SALE! HOUSEWIVES ARE SCARY!" Roxas said exhausted and terrified.

"But, you managed to get three cartons. That's incredible!" Namine said placing three plates of omelet rice on the table.

As they started to eat dinner. Namine started up a conversation. "Sorry for putting you through that Roxas."

"It's fine. I'm just not going to another sale…"Roxas said and started thinking about the housewives again making him traumatized again. Until her remembered something.

"By the way Namine I ran into someone by accident leaving the school."

"What?! Who?!" she asked curiously

"Your friend Kairi." he responded

"Oh….You sure it was Kairi? Wait...you met her looking like that?"

"Yeah but we didn't talk or anything." he said and continued eating

"I see." Namine said and just stared at her food. "-For some reason…" catching Roxas attention, "...I don't want anybody but me...to see this side of you…" This causes Roxas to be speechless and just stare at her.
