Sora's pov (earlier that day)

Riku, Kairi, Namine and I were all sitting in Riku's car in the parking lot of Roxas' school. Because of the drive, we were here a few minutes before the bell instead of just in time to run in the front doors like they say Roxas usually was. They were now trying to help me learn to be Roxas as fast as they could.

"Ok, give me your best Roxas impression," Riku said. I looked him right in the eye, which was hard to do without being distracted by their beauty, narrowed mine a bit, put on an almost-frown, and simply didn't say anything. I got this look alot. It wasn't really glaring or frowning, but it was usually enough to make me wonder if I had done something wrong. "Are you going to do it?" Riku asked, looking puzzled.

"I am," I said, giving the shortest answer I could just like Roxas did.

"He must act different around you then, because around everyone else he actually gives more than two word answers and looks more bored than pissed off the way you do," Riku said.

Okay, I'll admit that hurt some to know that Roxas talked to people I hadn't even heard of until this morning more than me; his own brother. I couldn't be the only person that would find that wrong.

"Sora, are you ok?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry," I said with a small smile.

Namine laughed. "There, that's more like Roxas," she said happily. Riku nodded, offering a small smile.

"Ok, so say what you think Roxas would say to you when he got home from your school if he was acting how he normally acts here," Kairi said.

"Sora, your friends are so fucked up! Don't even get me started on Axel. I might just murder him if I get the chance," I rolled my eyes the way I thought he probably would. "I can almost guarantee you Luxord is drunk. And the work is so easy! I don't see why you have trouble with it!" I then threw my hands into the air for emphasis.

They laughed. "It's not a joke guys! If he doesn't enter the house and immediately try to kill Ax, and if he talked to me more, that's exactly what he would say." I told them, smiling a little.

"Oh I know. You don't know how many times he has used us as an excuse, coming over to our houses or taking one of us to the movies, just to get away from Axel. I mean we do hang out for other reasons, but sometimes he comes over just for that," Riku said. Just then the bell rang, and we all started running.

time skip to lunch

There were so many people at our table. Me, Kairi, Naminé, Riku, Leon, Yuffie (the one that had colored on Roxas' wrist band?), Demyx (who it turns out Roxas was actually friends with so long as Dem hadn't been drinking coffee that day), Tifa, Aqua, Donald, Wakka, Will, Jack (who liked to be called captain), Olette, Hayner, Pence, Mickey, Jimminy, Ariel, Chip, Dale, Minnie, Elizabeth, and Mulan. There would be more, but we were already kinda squished as it was.

"The food here sucks, just to let ya know," Riku whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine due to just how close he was.

"I- Uh - umm -thanks," I finally managed to stammer out. He gave me a weird look before taking a bite of his lunch, that he had brought from home.

After about twenty minutes (that felt like forever becuase I had to act smart) the bell rang and I went to English. We were only reading today, so I thought it would be fine. Until I read the first paragraph of the book and realized I didn't understand half of what it was saying.

"Roxas, would you please read the next page?" the teacher asked.

What do I do! I couldn't read this stuff, and I wasn't a terrible reader
either. This was insane. If this was English, I was terrified for Math.

"Ms. Belle, Roxas was complaining that his throat hurt a little earlier today. And, cause I know he won't say anything about it, I thought I should let you know," Riku said from his seat next to me. Damn he was smart.

"Roxas, do you need to go to the nurse?" she asked.

"No thank you. Its nothing, I would just rather not read out loud today if that's ok with you," I said flashing a small smile. She nodded and told someone else to read.

I really should have thought about this kind of thing happening.

time skip to after Roxas goes to the mall

Axel stormed into the house a little while after he had left to go to the mall. "When your brother gets home, tell him I want my car back. Especially since he isn't old enough to have a drivers licence." He took his car! Why would Roxas take Axel's car?

"He has a learners permit," I offered, to try to comfort Axel.

"Do I look like I care?" No not really. "That's MY CAR he took!" Axel practically yelled.

"Axel, why does it look like you're starting to get a black eye?" I asked, then sighed wondering what had happened this time.

"Oh, right. Before he stole my car he punched me in the face," he looked down.

"What happened?" I rolled my eyes. Other than the car thing, I had expected all of this. I really hadn't seen the thing with the car coming though, that was just crazy. Though a small part of me -ok maybe it was a big part- was laughing like crazy over it.

"Oh nothing really," said Axel, "just tell him." Then he left.

Tell him that Axel wanted his car? Roxas would know that even without all the smarts he was gifted with.
