The Pedo-Van
I kind of just floated through the rest of the classes for the day, and that was easy to do since it seemed like this school either consisted of really crazy classes or really boring ones. After the shockingly exciting morning I had, I guess I was due for some boredom. Even though the first half of the day I had been wishing for boredom, now I hated it. It was funny how that worked. I guess you're never satisfied with what you have. I smirked to myself and closed my locker door; making my way through the hallways and out the front of the school. Well, at least this year would be interesting. But then I noticed the big group of freaks congregating on the front lawn, and in the center of them was none other than my loveable and goofy brother Demyx, and I got a little scared, hopefully the year wouldn't be too interesting. Demyx was laughing and kidding around with Zexion and anger flashed across my eyes. Why was it that Demyx always had to pick the people who seemed nice, but then they ended up getting him in the biggest messes ever? My scowl only deepened when I noticed that the stupid Red-head from earlier was standing to the side of the group talking to Reno, very close to the doors of the school, which just happened to be exactly where I was. So now I had to try sneaking around the arguing twins without drawing attention to myself, which you think would be easy since I could just hide behind all the tall people right? Wrong. It was almost as if he had been aware of me being there the entire time, because the second I started being stealthy, he turned around, locked eyes with me and smirked. Then he winked and blew me a kiss. What the Hell? Hadn't this guy gotten the message? Hadn't I used one of my best 'Fuck off or die' expressions on him? And he still had the gall to hit on me? At my angry expression he smirked and turned back towards his twin who looked like he was getting very annoyed. Very quickly, and I couldn't blame him, I had only known his brother for a day, and he already annoyed the fuck out of me. Imagine being his brother, let alone his twin. Reno must be a saint because if I were him, Axel wouldn't be alive at this point.
I shook my head, not bothering to be stealthy now and ignored Demyx as he tried to flag me over as I walked by. I grabbed my MP3 out of my bag and slipped the buds into my ears, turning it on shuffle and waiting at the bus stop with the other high schoolers. While I was trying to get lost in the music I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw Sora smiling brightly at me.
"Hey, come on, follow me." He started dragging me by the shoulder of my shirt towards a big black van parked at the edge of the parking lot. I stumbled after him, trying to keep pace with him as he dragged me.
"Sora, what are you doing? The bus is that way. And it comes in a couple minutes. We have to go catch it or we'll have to wait another 30 minutes!" I stared at his back while he ignored me and continued to drag me. I started struggling against him and he sighed in exasperation.
"Don't you trust me at all? Like I would make you miss the bus for no good reason. We have a ride home from one of Demyx's friends, so come on."
"Wait, what?" And then I noticed that we were making our way to a big black van, to the side of the big group Demyx was in the center of. And I got scared; I had to get in a car with these people? Sora steered me to the group instead of to the van upon seeing where everybody was and I groaned. No. Please no! I thought I was safe. Please God don't make me get in a Big Black Van with a bunch of creepers. When we approached the group I was happy to note that Axel was not one of them, and I wondered if he had been dragged away by Reno. Not that it mattered what had happened to him. All that mattered was that he was nowhere near me. The group didn't even seem to notice us, so Sora shoved me into the center of them and then waved while starting trotting off in the opposite direction.
"Bye Roxie, see you at home." My face grew into one of horror. I sputtered.
"What, where are you going? Sora!!" My voice rose considerably at the end, and Sora looked back with his trademark grin, and then waved me off again.
"I'm going to Riku's, don't worry, they won't bite you or anything. Well at least I don't think they will." He laughed at my complete look of shock; he quickly caught up with Riku, both slipping into the black convertible of Riku's brother's car.
"SORA I'LL KILL YOU!". Several people still lingering on the lawn turned and stared at me. I scowled at them. No way! I was not going to get in a small enclosed place with those crazy people! I turned and started making my way towards the bus, but spotted it at the end of the street, having already passed the school. "FUCK! God fucking damn it! GAh!" I kicked at the ground angrily. I left myself panting and fuming, and when I felt a presence behind me, I spun, preparing to give them a verbal chew out, but upon seeing the wounded puppy dog look on Demyx's face, I couldn't help but relax but kept my unamused demeanour.
"Roxas, come on calm down, they're just trying to be nice and give you a ride home since everybody else already has a ride. I mean even Cloud has made some friends. CLOUD! And I think some of them might even be female! Crazy huh?" His face broke into a big grin of pleasant surprise. It fell again when my face didn't change from its grim expression. "I love you?" At this I sighed and let out a small smile.
"I love you too loser." I smirked slightly and let myself be dragged towards the annoying group. "So whose car is it anyways?" I was smiling slightly, at least relieved in the thought that there wouldn't be any red-head annoying me now. But I guess I spoke too soon.
"Oh, the van? It's Axels. He's off talking to his brother right now, but he'll be back soon. You should thank him. He insisted on giving us a ride home. Some of the guys are going to hang out tonight, so they're going to come too." He smiled, but my heart sunk so low I was sure it would fall out the bottom of my feet. Of course it would be him off all people. I just seemed to have that kind of luck.
