I hope you all enjoy this chapter~ xDD Derp. Weirdness ensued. .
Chapter 5: School is for learning. . . right?
What was the point in having an alarm clock if your annoying ass uncle was going to wake you up anyway? And why doesn't he ever wake you up in a normal, civil manner? Right, because he's a douche. Glad we've established that. . . .
"I swear to god, if you wake me up like a jack-ass one more time, i'm going to kill you!" Axel threatened. This time his uncle Reno decided it would be fun to attack his nephew's face with spitballs. Honestly, who really is the adult around here?
The elder redhead laughed loudly. "Time for school, yo. Wouldn't want to be late."
"That's why i have an alarm clock. . ." Axel mumbled angrily as he got out of bed, wiping away all the saliva covered paper.
His sister entered the scene, still in her nightgown and whacked their guardian in the head with her pillow. "The hell is wrong with you two? It's 4 am! Go back to bed!" She scolded both of them, glaring. Her frustration was more directed towards their obnoxious uncle. The crimson-haired girl returned to her room soon after, complaining about how she lived with 'retards'. Her definition being those who know what they are doing, yet still do it anyway. Some synonyms are; assholes, stupid people, jerks, ignorance, dickheads, pricks, and the list goes on.
'Oh shit. . . Way to put me on the spot, Kai. Not cool, yo.' Reno thought as he slowly backed away from his nephew's room. He was just messing with the kid but by the time the other had realized he was pranking him, the elder would have been long gone. Now Kairi ruined it.
"Are you fucking insane? I don't have to be up for another 2 1/2 hours!" Damn, he sounded pissed. You could hear the venom in his words as he spoke. Yup, Reno's in deep shit now. Oh well that's his problem.
"Oh look at that, I think Rude is waiting for me outside. Bye!" The ponytailed redhead fled quickly away from the other. In truth, his partner was not out there, but his car was and something told him he should leave. Fast. He loved playing around with his nephew but the other redhead was scary when angered. Reno learned that the hard way numerous times. You'd think he'd learn his lesson and leave Axel alone, but no.
Once the nut job was gone, Axel flopped back onto his bed. He needed those 2 1/2 hours of and he could always wake up later and say the event that occurred was just some crazy fucked-up dream. Yup, that's what it was. "Jag hatar mandågar. . ." He sighed before falling back to sleep, only to be woken up a few hours later. Only this time, it was an alarm clock and NOT a psychopath.
Seems like no one knew the definition of a 'normal morning' anymore. While Axel had to deal with his uncle's stupidity, Roxas had to deal with his annoying cousin and siblings. One bathroom and four kids do not mix at all. Well, ce la vie.
They sat around the table, eating a delicious breakfast made by the brunette's mother. To Roxas, beacon never tasted so good before and maybe he might actually start to like oatmeal. Rinoa was such a good cook. If only she could work as a lunch lady in school. Maybe then those god forsaken places would serve something edible for once. Of course, he has yet had the school lunch here but he doubted it was any better than anywhere else.
"I can't wait till we get to school! I'm going to introduce you to ALL of my friends. I just know you'll get along with them. Oh, i hope we have classes together too because that'd be amazing and-" Sora rambled on and on. Roxas just grunted as replies. People have learned to just let the kid rant and pretend to listen. It's not like the brunette notices anyway. . .
"Woaaaah slow down there speed racer. I can barely understand a word your saying." Denzel said as he finished up his food.
"Woops, sorry guys." He giggled.
Denzel and Marlene had to take the bus to get to the middle school. Well aren't they lucky. Unfortunately, Roxas had to walk to the high school with his cousin. Sora talked most of the way, like always. The blonde wondered if the other had an off button. 'I swear, he's like the energizer bunny on steroids and the energizer bunny itself is enough to drive people up the wall.'
Once he arrived at the small school, he was given his schedule, locker number, lock and homeroom at the office. He wasn't surprised to see he was in Sora's homeroom. There were only two homerooms for the sophomore class this year, since they were a small group of kids.
When the blonde was done shoving everything inside the small space, he locked it up and went to class. He didn't really care to bring any of his supplies. Always travel light. It was easier that way. Besides, being the new student, teachers normally gave you everything you need. Well, the simple stuff anyway.
The cheery brunette made his way over to his gloomy cousin, who slumped into his seat. A pretty redhead girl and equally as pretty ravenette, followed closely behind. "Roxy~ I want you to meet Kairi and Xion. They are like two the best people ever!" Sora exclaimed.
Roxas looked up at the three. Figures, Sora's closest friends would be women. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The redhead had on a frilly pink top and a jean skirt on with sandals that had little pink flowers on the. Definitely the girly type. The dark-haired girl wore a baggy sweater and black skinny jeans with her checkered vans. Her ears were pierced in numerous places as well as a blue nose piercing. Her presence gave out a more happier feel to it so it wasn't like she was a depressed goth or anything. Probably a scene kid or a skater girl or something along those lines. Their appearance were different but the way they held themselves and smiled were so alike and oddly familiar. They reminded him of Naminé. 'I wonder when i'll get to see her again. . .'
"Hey, I'm Xion. Nice to meet ya." The raven-haired girl drawled out.
"And I'm Kairi. Sora's talked so much about you. It's cool to finally meet the infamous 'Roxy'." The other girl added with a giggle.
The blonde let out a groan. "Stop calling me that, Sora!" He scolded the other male then turned to the two ladies. "Name's Roxas, not Roxy. I apologize for the mixed up there. My cousin is an idiot."
Sora made a pouty face at him saying, "Am not!"
The two giggled. They weren't going to lie., they kind of were expecting Roxy to be a woman. Even if the blonde kid in front of the was too cute and feminine-looking to be a guy. He could easily be mistaken for a middle schooler or something. Same with Sora. Lucky them. The rest of their family must be a gorgeous, young-looking group too.
Roxas learned lot about the two girls. They may have looked alike, but surprisingly, they were not related at all but they were neighbors. Kairi is the sister of Axel. If they weren't both redheads, he would have never guessed. The two siblings were nothing alike. Xion also had a brother. His name was Vanitas. Apparently, according to the ravenette, he should be avoided at all costs. The teen was a major trouble maker. That just made the blonde all the more curious to meet him. She even had a sister, Olette, they were twins. By her description, she looked nothing like the other. Olette looked more like their mother and she, like her father, making them fraternal twins.
Not only did he make friends with the two girls but he made friends on his own too. Hayner, Pence, and Xion's sister Olette. Hayner was a crazy haired blonde who helped him find all his classes throughout the day. The two instantly clicked seeing as though they had many Roxas was happy to hear they had a struggle team. Hopefully it wasn't too late to join. He met Olette in math and she assisted him with his work in geometry and biology, the two classes they shared. She looked and was nothing like Xion at all. The brunette girl had a kinder atmosphere and had green eyes and brown hair as opposed to her sister's black hair and blue eyes. Pence was introduced to him later and he made friends with him easily. It seemed he was fitting in just fine and pretty quickly too.
The most shocking part of his day was seeing his cousin Tidus. He hasn't seen or heard from the other in years! So that was an exciting experience. The elder blonde lived a little away from the school and lived with his girlfriend Yuna. He explained how his old man decided it would be good for him to settle down and stay in one place for once. Even if Jecht was barely around. He is a famous blitzball player, things get pretty busy in the sports industry. Tidus seemed to be following in his father's footsteps, being the star blitzball player of the school, but aimed to surpass him. Which was a pretty good goal. Seems like the elder was doing pretty good, he even planned to marry his long-term lover after high-school and their lives were all set. He was really happy for him.
Not everyone he met was nice though. Unfortunately all schools had their bullies. This one had Snow Villiers and Seifer Almasy and their little gang. They both wore stupid beanie hats on their heads and held themselves in extreme confidence, or more like arrogance. Snow was the elder brother. He was an extremely tall senior with long pale blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He was apparently dating some Serah chick, he seemed to love bragging about it. Seifer was a sophomore like him and was tall but way shorter than his older brother. He too was blonde but his eyes were a darker blue. He seemed to love picking on Hayner and his friends the most. Roxas thought it was pretty funny. The blonde wouldn't be amazed if the two of them ended up together anytime soon. The feud between them seemed more like pent-up sexual tension more than anything else, it was quite humorous actually. Apparently they had a third brother, this one was a junior. and his name was Demyx Villiers. He had yet to meet him so he had no idea what the other looked like. The elder two had a different name from the youngest cause at the time their parents were officially divorced so Seifer ended up with his mother's madien name to spite their father. Wow, poor mom. Giving birth to three kids one year after the other while trying to get rid of her husband, she must be Wonder Woman.
At lunch, he sat with the friends he shared it with; Sora, Riku, Axel and Xion. The others were, sadly, in the other lunch period. He felt so weird sitting with them; the odd one out. His cousin and the silver-haired wonder were engaged in their own conversation. It looked more like Sora was doing all the talking and Riku just stared at him looking like a lovesick puppy, adding in a word or two occasionally in the conversation when the moment was right. It was sad. Roxas wasn't here for long and even he noticed the silverette's feelings for his hopelessly oblivious relative. 'Damn it Riku! Man up and ask him out already you bum!' he thought irritably.
Axel and Xion were also deep into a conversation. It was about some concert they wished to go to but sadly couldn't since they weren't able to ditch school. It seems that was where the bad boy, Vanitas, could be found at the moment. He only knew because the female teen was complaining how unfair it was.
He felt uncomfortable and unwanted. None even attempted to converse with the blonde teen. He just sat there silently eating and waited for lunch to end.
And that was a typical first day of school.
Axel's day was a bit more complicated. The conflict was mainly internally more than anything. He had this crazy urge to go find a certain underclassmen who just started school today. He would've gone to look but chances are, he was with Sora. The pyro wanted to see the blonde but not that much. He only dealt with the brunette when the time was needed, other than that; Avoid at allcosts.
It wasn't helping him at all really. The redhead was only half paying attention to all of his classes. Multiple times Demyx and Riku had to keep their friend present and alert during them. The younger mohaked blonde and the silverette were growing tired of it. Their friend was like a different person. It wasn't bad, just. . . foreign. Demyx wondered what was up with him and Riku informed him of the little shorty who Axel took a sudden interest to. It made his two companions suspicious and wary of the other. Depending on how this went, they could lose a friend.
Mentioned friend from above was currently seated next to her boyfriend. Yes people, we're talking about Xion Fair. The italian ravenette was holding her lover's hand underneath the table, a gesture that went unnoticed by everyone else present at the table. They talked about the concert Sleeping With Sirens were having after school today. It started at 4. Why the concert was starting up so early in the day was beyond them. They needed to skip school to go because it was being held in a town 3 hours away. There was no way they could go to school and still make it to the awesome event. Neither of them owned a car to pull of the stunt anyway. Her brother, that folli fottere, being the rebel he was, totally skipped and went. Completely unfair. For some reason, her parents always favored him. Oh well.
Axel on the other hand could honestly care less about his 'girlfriend's' complaints. Yeah he was upset about not being able to go to the rockin' show but Van was a good friend of his too. At first he thought the dark-haired male was a complete asshole but since they were neighbors and he started dating his sister, the two spent a lot of time together. Turns out Vanitas was pretty freakin' awesome.
Another thing was, the object of all his thoughts throughout the day was sitting right across from him and instead of conversing with him, he had to listen to his 'lover' rant about everything. Don't get it twisted, he loved Xion but not like that. He was gay after all. He would never be attracted to the female in that way. Dating her just made him seem like an average teenage guy and kept the other crazy fangirls away. Yeah he was using her to keep up this facade and keep the others at bay. It was fucked up and he had a feeling Xion noticed but said nothing. Their relationship never went past kissing though. It wasn't even like full-on make out sessions, just pecks on the lips. So he wasn't that much of a douche. Everyone thought they were 'taking things slow' and figured it was cute. sigh. If they only knew. . .
Now on the other hand, he couldn't help this strange attraction he felt towards the blonde near him. He wanted to be with him.
Did he even truly want him?
In what way?
Is it because he looks like Ventus?
The redhead couldn't help it.
Every time he looks at Roxas, he sees him.
