Chapter Two
An Unexpected Roommate

"So, what's on the menu today?" Sora asked, putting his hands behind his head. Sora and his friends were walking out of the school building, heading over to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Spaghetti and meatballs, I think," answered Kairi, walking next to him.

"Again? Didn't we have that like yesterday?" Hayner asked, walking backwards in front of the group.

"No, we had it on Monday. Today's Wednesday," Pence informed him.

"What's the difference?" Hayner exasperated, crossing his arms.

"You're just complaining because you don't like spaghetti," Olette said, poking his chest. She was walking in front of Hayner as he walked backwards.

"I don't care much, I like spaghetti," Namine said, grinning. (A/N: I do not know if this is true, but hey, she's an artist :))

Roxas started chuckling from next to her, "Yeah you do, Namine. The last time you ate spaghetti, you had meat sauce all over your face - "

"And made slurping sounds - " Kairi added in.

"AND we scared you soo much that you spit out you're food on Ms. Shao!"

"Ya!" Wakka said, trying to imitate the memory with Tidus. Everyone started laughing at the memory of their favorite blonde artist.

Namine blushed and cried out, "shut up!"

After awhile of laughing and walking, it was silent until Olette asked, "So, how was your guys' band project?"

"Crazy! Hope we got a good enough grade on it." Sora exclaimed, looking over at Roxas.

"No thanks to Roxas," Riku mumbled out, crossing his arms.

"Hey, it's not my fault! No one reminded me today was presentation day!" Roxas tried to defend himself.

"UGH! You should've known! It was on the board this and last week!" Sora yelled at him.

Before the two could start arguing, they heard Olette say, "Hey Roxas, isn't that your room?"

The group turned their heads to the dormitory building and looked up to the third floor. Olette was pointing at a window, their eyes followed her pointed finger to a window. A girl was the only thing they could tell from where they were standing. "Yeah, that is my room…"

"Isn't that a girl?" Namine asked, squinting her eyes.

Pence took out her camera and zoomed in on the window. "Yeah, it is a girl," he confirmed.

Hayner elbowed Roxas suddenly, "Keeping a girl in your room now, huh? Keeping this a secret from your best friend?"

"Oo! Roxas' got a girlfriend!" Selphie shouted out hyperly. (A/N: Almost forgot about her xP)

Roxas looked from Hayner backed to the window. He squinted his eyes and noticing the blue green hair from before. Something clicked in his mind, he knew that girl.

Joy looked down at the students and scanned from loners to groups of students. A few teachers were here and there, either patrolling the area or walking toward lunch. Joy had perfect eye vision, and from the third floor, she can see all kinds of students with different hairstyles that she's never seen before. There was a red head with long fiery red hair that spiked up in the direction behind him. A blonde girl next to him and her hairstyle made it seem like she had antennas. "Wow, there's something you don't see everyday," Joy said to herself as she saw a guy with long hair, but the weird thing about this guy's mane which everyone calls hair was that it was a pale pink rose color.

Suddenly, she felt like someone staring at her. Looking around, she found a brunette girl pointing at her. She was in a group, a large group. Looking around at the group, she saw the familiar blonde defying hair that she bumped into earlier. She smiled and started waving to him, hoping he was able to see her.

"She's waving, you know her, Roxas?" Sora asked the blonde guy.

Before Roxas answered, he felt an arm wrap around his neck, "So, Roxas' got a secret girlfriend? I feel heartbroken, Roxas. We're supposed to be close friends, yet you keep this secret away from me."

Recognizing the voice, he said, "She isn't my girlfriend, Axel."

Joy stopped waving as she noticed the boy a bit pre-occupied. She rested her head on her hand and stared at Roxas and his friends. They seemed to be teasing him, but he suddenly ran off from them. Joy arched her eyebrow in confusion as he started running toward the dormitories. Right before entering the building, he looked up. If Joy wasn't looking down at him, she would've tilted her head in confusion as to why he suddenly seemed to be in such a hurry. He ran inside and was out of Joy's sight.

"Why is she in your room, Roxas? Does she have your dorm password or something?" Kairi asked him as he was still in Axel's hold.

Remembering the security to a dorm's room, there was only one way to enter a dorm. He fought away from Axel's grip and ran toward the dormitory. "Hey Roxas, where you going?"

Roxas didn't say anything but continued to run. Right before entering, he stopped to look up. She was still there, her head popped out of it and looking down on him. Confirming the window and the dorm, he ran back inside. 'How did she get in my room?' He thought, running up the stairs.

After a few minutes of looking out the window, Joy heard a click at the door. Turning around she thought, 'that must be my roommate.' She stared at the door as it burst open. It made Joy jump as she was frightened easily, but her eyes widened in shock at the person that was a doorway. She was fully expecting a girl to appear. But, it wasn't a girl. Unless her vision was giving out now, there at the door was a guy. And not just any guy, "Roxas? How'd you get in here?"

"I should be asking you the same question. What are you doing in here?"

"Me? This is my dorm."

"Your dorm? That can't be possible. This is my dorm. I was here way before you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I was assigned to this dorm!" Joy protested. She walked to the dresser and picked up her schedule and put it right in front of his face. "See? Dorm #317!" Looking at the paper, he sighed in frustration. "HA! I'm right! So, you must be in the wrong dorm!"

Roxas stuffed his hands in his pockets, "If this isn't my dorm, how would I know the password to here?"

That shut Joy up. They both stood that way; Roxas' hands stuffed in his pockets and Joy had her hands on her hips. "Well, since this is your dorm that would explain the guy clothing in the closet."

"You went through my stuff?" Roxas arched his eyebrow.

"No!" Joy immediately said, "I just wanted to know where the doors leaded. And it just so happened that one of them was your closet."

"Uh-huh," Roxas said, disbelievingly. Awkward silence.

The fast crickets ringing jingled in their heads.

Medium paced jingle.

The jingle started slowing down even more.

The sound, bit by bit, starts fading off.

Finally, dead silence.

Roxas scratched the back of his head, "What should we do?"

"Let's go complain to the office!"

"B-but Ms. Shao, there must be another way to do this!" Joy pleaded to the Assistant Principal.

"There is no other way, Ms. Kane," Ms. Shao merely said to Joy as she continued to type away on her computer. Ms. Shao had brown curly hair and she wore black rimmed glasses that were placed on her nose. She seemed really strict and looked as if she hasn't smiled in years. In addition to that, she had wrinkles that said more about her than just her age.

"You can't be serious, Ms. Shao! Can't she dorm with another girl?" Roxas pleaded. He had nothing against Joy, but he wasn't going to live the next eight months with a girl. First of all, his friends would never get off his back about it and he had personal guy times in which girls aren't supposed to be around for!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hikari, but we cannot do that. It is a rule here at Twilight High that no more than two students per dorm."

'Well, that was a stupid rule,' Joy thought bitterly. She was not going to live with a guy that she barely knew. She had her girl moments, just like any other girl! Those times, a guy should not be there. "Can't you make an exception? I mean, come on! This situation calls for it!"

"This is exactly why Mr. Ansem has trusted you to Roxas." Mr. Ansem was the principal, and unfortunately, was at an 'important' Teacher Board meeting and couldn't resolve this problem.

"Why me?" Roxas cried out.

"Mr. Ansem has seen your behaviors in your classes and has looked over your grades. According to him, you are more reliable than any other male here at this school," then she quickly muttered to herself, "which I find very hard to believe."

Roxas groaned in annoyance and ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "I can't believe this is happening to me," Roxas mumbled to himself.

Ms. Shao heard him and turned her eyes to the couple. "Look, I'm not thrilled with this decision as much as you children are. But it's already done. You two are roommates for the next eight months of your schooling here. So, just deal with it." And with that, Ms. Shao shooed the two out of her office.

"So, who was that in your dorm, Roxas?" Roxas heaved a seat next to his best friend at their usual lunch table.

"A girl," Roxas said bluntly.

"Obviously! Who was she?"

"I knew it! She's your girlfriend!" Selphie exclaimed, pointing at him accusingly.

"She's a new student." Roxas was too bummed out to even protest, and just stated the truth about the girl.

"A new student? What's her name?" Olette asked with interest.

"Joy."

"Joy? Like 'Joy to the World'?"

"Joy to the world, the lord has come!" Hayner, Wakka, and Tidus started singing. Selphie joined in, but the table told them to be quiet.

"Yeah," Roxas start poking at his meatballs.

"You going to eat that?" Roxas turned his head to find that Namine was staring at his spaghetti with a sparkle in her eye. He pushed his tray to her and buried his head in his arms.

"What was she doing in your dorm, Roxas?"

The group leaned in, trying to hear what Roxas was saying from under his arms. "Speak louder, Roxas!"

Roxas groaned once again for the day and picked up his head, "She's my roommate."

The table was silent. Then, realization dawned on them and they shouted, "WHAT?!"

"What the heck? Why is she in your dorm??" Pence probed at him.

"No more available dorms."

"Wasn't Olette going to get a new roommate, too?"

"Yeah, that's Joy's best friend."

The group kept arguing over the conversation. Roxas just sat there, answering the questions that were bombed on him. This is what he expected to happen. He knew that his friends would explode on him now that his roommate was a female. "You guys sure can be loud." The group turned to see their senior red-headed friend, Axel.

"Hey Axel," Namine greeted, slurping in another spaghetti noodle.

"Roxas, you got a girl as a roommate?"

"Unfortunately," Roxas said, sulking a bit.

"So," Axel said, wrapping an arm around his neck in the same way he did before, "she single?"

"How should I know?"

"She even pretty?" Axel arched an eyebrow at his friend.

An image of Joy smiling flashed across Roxas' mind. A faint color of pink appeared on his face as he said, looking down at the table, "I guess…"

"She must be pretty if you're starting to blush just from thinking about her," Axel said smirking, poking Roxas' cheek that was growing darker with color.

"Hey, Roxas is blushing!" Hayner exclaimed, pointing at his face. The table and Axel started teasing Roxas, poking fun at him as he continued to grow more embarrassed. 'I just said she was pretty!' Roxas cried in his head as he pushed Axel away from himself.

"So, Roxas is finally going to get himself a girl," Hayner elbowed his best friend in the side.

"Quit it!" Roxas sighed. This was never going to end. Until the bell rang.

"Wow, that was the shortest lunch I could even remember," Pence said, standing up with his tray.

"Three more hours, and we can meet Roxas' girlfriend," Selphie shouted in…joy.

"Huh?"

Amy widened her eyes, "ROXAS IS YOUR ROOMMATE!?"

Joy closed one eye from her yelling, "Yes, I know. Horrible isn't it?"

"Yeah. They should've made an exception for you, that's stupid." Amy said. The two girls were in Amy's dorm. Joy explained what had happened and Amy had just exploded on her. Fortunately, Amy had a girl for a roommate. Proof of that was that the belongings that were around the room before Amy unpacked, belonged to a girl. "Hey Joy?"

"Hm?" Joy had Cookie laying across her front as Joy was lying on Amy's bed. Amy was checking out the computer.

"What'd I tell you on the plane? I told you some great guy would walk into your life. Well, technically bumped - "

"Ugh, not that again, Amy. I don't even know him," Joy protested against Amy's pestering. Joy knew that since she had a guy roommate, Amy was going to keep poking at her, telling her that she's going to fall for him or something. Joy shook her head, she promised herself she wasn't going to fall for anyone, especially some guy that she barely met.

"So, you guys had that little moment in the hallway."

My heart was pounding against my chest as my blue colored eyes stared back at me. The guy in front of me was equally shocked as I was. I knew how close our faces were and I could feel the heat rise up into my cheeks. Despite this embarrassing moment, I gazed into his eyes. They were as blue as the sky, and they were my favorite color. Our eyes seemed to stay locked, like neither of us can tear our eyes away. I could never tell if someone was blushing, but I knew he must have felt embarrassed, too. My heart was beating against my chest, hard and fast. I felt the urge to just -

Joy blushed at the memory and mentally pushed her thoughts on the incident in the back of her head. "You're blushing again, Joy."

Joy looked over at Amy and found that she had been staring at her. "Shut up."

The chair had wheels under it, so Amy rolled the chair over to Joy and asked, "you like him, don't you?"

"No way!" Joy saw that Amy didn't believe her. Joy glared at her, "You know me better than that, Amy."

"You know, denying the truth won't hide anything."

"I'm not denying anything. I merely telling the truth." In all honesty, Joy was denying the truth. Sure, she didn't want to fall for anyone, especially this early, but deep down, she was starting to like the blonde boy. He seemed a bit different than most guys she's met.

Joy heaved a sigh, she was doing it again. She was going to fall for another guy, tell him her feelings, he'll reject her, and she'll cry like there's no tomorrow. And the worst thing of it all, she'll feel the pain that she was trying to avoid from the very beginning.

Rolling back to the computer, Amy told Joy, "whatever Joy, but I still think you won't be able to keep this kind of promise."

Roxas was staring out the window. He was in History class, the most boring subject of school to him. His history teacher, Mr. Rush, was cool and all, but when it came to teaching, he was as boring as staring at a white wall. His voice droned on and on, passing students' heads and out their ears. A few students would be dozing off and some other students, like Riku and Sora, would be playing with a paper ball. At times like these, Roxas liked to look out the window and ponder on whatever was on his mind.

And the thing that was on his mind was…well, it wasn't really a thing, more like a person. A girl to be more specific. Yes, obviously, it was Joy. "Thinking of your girlfriend, cuz?" Sora whispered from next to him.

Roxas clenched his fist at the word, and gritted his teeth, "For the last time, she isn't my girlfriend!"

"Whoa, getting a little defensive, Roxas. You like her or something?"

"Of course I don't! I just met her," Roxas whispered harshly, turning back to the window.

Riku turned to Roxas with interest, "You must be at least attracted to her or something to have your face turn pink from the thought of her again."

"My face is not pink!" Roxas denied. He saw Riku get a mirror from a girl and put it in front of his face. He saw a trace of pink across his cheeks and immediately looked at Riku, "So what? I have a window seat and the sun's out!" Roxas said, trying to worm his way out of this situation.

"Just admit it, Roxas. You have the hots for the new girl." Riku gave back the mirror to the girl.

"Yeah Roxas, no use denying it," Sora said, slapping Roxas' back in a friend way, flashing his cheesy grin at him.

Roxas didn't have the 'hots' for Joy, but he knew that he was attracted to her. And to be truly honest with himself, Roxas didn't mind that a girl like Joy was going to be living with him. His mind flashed back to the accident earlier.

I was walking fast down the halls. Stupid Sora didn't remind me that today was presentation day, so I had to go back to the dormitories just to get all their other materials for their project. He had to get stuck with all the paper and CD's. I heard talking up ahead; the voices sound like it belonged to a girl's. Turning the corner, I saw blue green hair. I was thinking 'move out of the way' but, my neurons didn't get to my feet as fast and before I knew it, I was staring into violet colored eyes.

I never knew you could fall into the position that we were in when you bumped into someone. But, that was how we ended up. I don't even know how my hand winded up being on top of hers, but it happened. And one more thing I noticed the position we were in: my right leg was in between her legs(A/N: A bit perverted I know). You know what I mean by 'in between'. My hormones really wanted to take over my body. Because, I had the urge to close the distance between us with a -

"Mr. Hikari, I hope you're paying attention." Roxas snapped back to reality and faced the front of the classroom. He felt all eyes stare at him and he didn't like it. Mr. Rush had a disapproving expression on his face before looking back on the board. Roxas sighed; today was going to be a long day.

Hope you enjoyed it!
