Chapter Five

The few weeks after my call to Olette were uneventful. No fights, which was rather nice I might add. I had been able to heal fully; I had no scratch, no bruise, nor a sore arm or leg. I could skateboard where ever I felt like it and not have to slow around corners to see if I was about to run into something that might be dangerous to my health, Short of Rai's front driveway. Without Seifer I had the upmost freedom. The others could sense my happiness and even Pence was able to run around with the confidence that the world could throw whatever it wanted at him. Roxas and I had races down Market Street and the delivery lady had hired us for the rest of the summer to run the morning shift. Olette had even had a run in with Fuu and from what I understand they didn't fight. It was as though Seifer gone meant freedom from the disciplinary committee. As happy as I was about this, it somehow felt….wrong. Like I was running a lie, funny though I had only lived here two months. Fuu hadn't talked to me either. Even though I wanted to ask here a bunch of things every time I saw her blue tinted hair. She seemed to know more of what was going on than I did. It was rather frustrating.

The day before school started the four of us sat around in the usual spot. Olette sat on the old worn out but scarily comfortable couch, Pence on the wooden box in the corner and Roxas on another wooden crate near the entrance. I had taken to sitting on a small heater on the back wall; it was a rather nice spot. I got the whole area that had sunlight. Despite how warm Twilight Town looked it did get cold and even though it was the end of August I could already feel fall around the corner. According to Pence and Roxas it snowed for most of November to February. This wasn't the best news for me. I wasn't used to cold weather and I had absolutely no clothes for snow like weather.

"So have you been to see the school yet Hayner?" Roxas asked licking his sea salt ice cream.

"Not yet." I said shrugging.

Olette made a small noise and I looked at her, she was giving a look that was half "Are you serious?" and "Well I wouldn't either."

"You probably should." Pence said chewing on his Popsicle stick. He had already finished his ice cream a long time ago. It was something I caught onto quickly, pence always finished his ice cream off first, and then me, followed by Olette, and then last was Roxas, though I could have sworn that most of his ice cream was on the ground all over Twilight town.

"Why?" I asked looking between Pence and Olette,

"I think it's just that the school is a huge campus." Roxas said. "It might be better to look around before you have to find your classes tomorrow."

"It can't be that big." I said raising an eyebrow.

The three of them exchanged looks. "Well, we should show you around anyway….well the outside mostly, during the summer most of the school is closed off." Roxas said.

The two others nodded and got up. I jumped down from my heater and began to follow. The back alley was empty, not surprising. Might be why I loved it so much. Looking up I shielded my eyes from the sun, even the haze of pinkish clouds didn't hide the suns bright rays. Turning I saw Roxas and Olette turn the corner and Pence stopped and turned around waving. Shaking my head I hurried up and caught up with them. We began to walk towards the tram common; I almost thought we were heading to the crack in the wall that led to the mansion when they took another left. Opening into another road we walked another few blocks. I was now in step with them and Olette and Pence had gotten into a conversation about food and recipes. A conversation that was sending my stomach into a roll because of the condition of which they were describing the said food it was both mildly interesting and nauseating.

"Well when school gets going you can just walk to school instead of using the tram. It isn't far from our street. If you don't mind walking the six. Or seven blocks." Roxas said. "But….during the winter, I wouldn't there's a bit of an incline that could really delay you." He said shuddering; I didn't really hear him though. After his first comment the first thing that came to mind was wither Seifer walked to school too? I shook my head; I didn't want to know, really. If he walked then that would only give him a reason to beat me up more.

"Okay so it's just around the corner." Olette said with a little too much happiness. She really did love school too much.

Roxas was right, the school was big. Well it wasn't big as it was tall. It had to be at least five stories tall; however, Pence confirmed that it was just four. The school matched the rest of the city, light colors of orange and tan brick with over reflected windows that perfectly imaged the sky. The main school was two buildings connected at the corner with a small courtyard that could be seen from the fence on the east side. The gym was at the connoting point that made up the corner. The chain link paddock where the bikes would soon be was on the south fence. A soccer field was out of the back of the west building and other facilities were off to the north. Destiny Island high was nothing compared to this. Roxas estimated that the population of the school was 3000 which was 1500 more than Destiny Island.

"It's not hard to get lost. The school is set up by departments, example; the whole of the second floor in both buildings is English and so on, they'll give you a map." Pence said as we began to leave the school behind.

"Hey I still haven't gotten my school supplies, anyone want to go." Roxas said walking ahead, purposely would have my guess.

"Roxas!!?" Olette said stopping, she had such a look on her face, like she was going to burst. Pence's face had to be a bit like mine. A mixture of sympathy for the blond and a restraint to laugh at Olette and ask if she had expected anything else.

"What Olette?" Roxas said turning around giving his best innocent face, thought he looked like he was going to laugh.

"You haven't bought your stuff yet!!?" She half yelled.

"So? I bet Pence and Hayner haven't either." He said looking at us hoping he was right.

"I bought mine the same time as Olette." I said smiling evilly. Roxas's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to protest but Olette just grabbed his wrist and turned him around and began shoving his back. "We are going to go get your stuff right now!" She said.

"Hayner?" Pence said looking at me. I turned to look at him and shrugged. "You left me and Olette when we started school shopping."

"Good thing she didn't remember" I said laughing.

"Do you have school supplies?" He asked.

"I gota binder, paper, pencil and backpack. What more do I need?" I asked.

Pence seemed to think this over. Without even being in his class or been in school with him, I could tell that Pence was good in school, he had that air and I knew that my list meant little to him, but he was sensible enough to know that I wouldn't want to go over the top for just school.

"I guess not." He said laughing. "I feel bad for Roxas though."

"Yeah, well I'm going to head home, I don't want to have to be here when Olette remembers that I wasn't on the school shopping trip." I said turning and heading home. "I might be able to shoot some hoops before the days out." I said and maybe I can be on my street one last day before Seifer gest back, if he isn't already. I added to myself.

Pence nodded and stretched his arms. "I'll see you tomorrow; maybe we'll be in the small classes." He said turning towards the tram. "By the way did you get the letter about the budget change?"

"Yeah I got it." I said waving and walking down the street to home. It came in yesterday. It talked about that some different grades would have to share science's and math classes based on skill and level, and some English classes would be combined into one, however each grade would have different assignments,

My mind; however, was not on school. I still had no idea what I would do about Seifer. I didn't want to see him yet. I didn't know how I would handle. I didn't know if Fuu had told him of our chat or not, but I really hoped she hadn't.

Few people were out. The residential area wasn't crowded but already it was starting to get a bit darker and people were out with their dogs for a walk, kids out getting one last thrill before school started. A few blocks down I noticed Fuu and Rai walking towards me. By the way they were talking they hadn't seen me yet. I scanned the street and I didn't see a sign of Seifer. It seemed they came from the direction of his apartment.

On instinct I dodged down a side street. Not looking back. I didn't want to meet up with them just yet. Shoving my hands in my pockets I sighed, luckily it ended near my house; I just had to walk one block extra.

Passing the apartment I couldn't help but look up at it and wonder which one Seifer lived in. I shook my head. What the hell was I thinking?

"Mom!! I'm home!" I yelled walking in the door. It wasn't even dinner time and the house already smelled like my mom's famous curry. I stopped. My mom rarely ever made her curry. The first thing that came to mind was if I missed someone's birthday. Shrugging it off I just figured that it was a last day of summer meal. Kicking off my shoes a gleam of hope hit my stomach and wondered if my Dad had come home from his business trip early!!

"Oh, hi Hayner. You'll never guess who I ran into today?"

"Dad!?" I asked hopefully.

"Hey blondy."

Instantly my stomach fell and my tongue swelled that I was sure I was going to choke on it.

Thanks again for reading, I really hopped you enjoyed it and I will update soon, next one should be interesting. (Finally)
