Okay, so maybe spending my Saturday night in my rom getting a jump start on homework that wasn't due until Wednesday wasn't the most...exciting thing to do. But really, did I have anything else to do? I wasn't in the mood to get beaten to a pulp by Hayner, I'd already eaten all the ice cream I wanted for one year (so that's a no, Pence), and Olette was doing the exact same thing that I was. And even if I was desperate enough to go hang out with Sor and Riku, they were at Riku's house, most likely sucking face. I shuddered at the thought.

I praised whoever it was who decided to text me at that exact moment, because the sound shoved the disturbing images of Sora and Riku out of my mind. I picked up my phone and knit my eyebrows together. 555-8934? Who in the...? I didn't recognize the number. Maybe Olette finally got her new phone and had her number changed. I shrugged and flipped my phone open.

Hey, Roxy! What up?

I quickly typed a reply.

Nm... Who is this?

Oh, sorry, Sora must have forgotten to give you my number. It's Axel. :O)

Remember what I said about praising whoever it was who had happened to text me? Yeah, scratch that. Actually, Sora had given me his number. Which I had had the courtesy to ball up and throw in his face. Sora must have left that part out last time he talked to Axel. I closed the phone and kept working. Not five minutes later, my phone chimed again.

U there?

I sighed. Damn, he was persistant. I reluctantly tapped the keys on my phone.

Yeah. not 2 be rude, but what did u want exactly

I pressed send, having every intention of sounding rude.

lol I was bored so I figured i'd see what u were doing.

homework

wow. and i thought *i* had a boring night ahead. lol

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

yeh, I sent, hoping my lack of interest would give him the hint that I had no desire to continue this conversation.

what, no plans with ur girlfriend?

Wait...what? What had Sora told him?

i dont have one.

wow, seriously? well then i must have somethin wrong. a goodlooking guy who turned me down because he was straight, and u dont have a girlfriend?

i can be straight and single at the same time u know

haha sure u can, roxy.

oh, then im sure uve got a boyfriend since i turned u down? im sure u picked *someone* up since then. its been a whole week

haha hardly. ur the only one for me ;O)

right. I sighed. I told myself to stop typing, but I couldn't help it...it was too interesting. It was too much-

I stopped myself. I didn't dare say the word I'd been thinking.

Fun. My phone chimed again.

but of course thats the reason *i'm* single. waiting for u to come to ur senses :P whats stopping U from datin?

no girls caught my interest. Ugh, why did I specify girls? Shouldn't I have said no ONE?

girls. right Damn it. He noticed.

OR boys.

DAMN it! My mind was screaming no at me the whole time! So why in hell did I say yes...?

REALLY. wow, that was easier than i thought lol so u wanna see a movie, get ice cream, what?

ice cream sounds nice

ice cream it is.

k. im tired so im gonna catch some Zs. gn

Goodnight, Roxy.

I shut my phone and groaned. Alright. So nevermind the fact that I just made plans to hang out with a gay stranger who had the hots for me. WHAT was I going to tell my brother? He knew that I wasn't social enough to have plans on a Sunday afternoon. He'd demand details. And I wouldn't want to give them to him.

A million things were swirling in my mind as I turned off the lights and went to bed. The last thing I heard in my mind was a dangerously familiar voice whispering something sweet.

Goodnight, Roxy.
