(AN: Yay this story isn't totally dead! I know I haven't updated in a while, I've been rushing to get Organization's Halloween done XP)

--At School--

Axel stumbled to his locker and mindlessly turned the knob around in aimless circles. Roxas turned to notice his friend completely out of it, and snapped in his face, causing him to jump and look around, blinking his eyes dumbly. Namine quietly giggled as Axel still looked completely dumbstruck, gazing up at the ceiling for apparent reason. Namine was Roxas's longtime girlfriend, and she was sometimes a bit too quiet at times. Axel finally snapped out of his trance and slammed his locker shut, which caused a few people to looked in their direction.

"So...who was that girl we saw yesterday?" Axel asked his friend, overly eager for an answer. Roxas looked at him with a puzzled look.

"Ohh right...you left me to die." Axel shot Roxas a death glance, with though caused Namine to become temporarily uneasy.

"Okay, well she's kinda tall, has blond hair with two bang that stick out and curve back and look like bug antennas." Axel raised his hands over his head and formed them into what he thought was a good interpretation of bug antennas. Namine giggled at Axel's...."Axelness," and Roxas just sweat dropped and covered his face in his books he was carrying. Axel, Roxas and Namine were among some of the popular kids at Haven Heart High School, and Axel was the joker of the group, Roxas being the serious and Namine being the quiet one. Now, there is a difference between being funny and clumsy, and Demyx seemed to show that difference quite well. Demyx stoled down the hall, of course without his bag as usual, with the girls staring behind him as he passed by. Apparently most the girls, if not all of them-secretly crushed hugely on Demyx, despite his clumsiness. As he was walking down to his friends, he tripped over his untied shoelaces and thwacked his face off of an open locker, to which everyone of course found hilarious. He slid to the floor but quickly rose up, his face red, and acting as if the whole thing never happened. Finally he caught up to Axel&co, and Namine looked as if she was ready to explode with laughter, which wasn't common.

"Demyx!" Axel looked even more excited now.

"Who's that girl over there? Her name's Larxene right?" Axel pointed over to Larxene, who was at her locker stuffing books into her bag.

"Uhh...you just kinda answered that yourself.." Demyx looked up at Axel with a sheepish smile, only to be replied with a SLAP right across his little musician face.
"No man, I mean who is she? Like what is she like, her hobbies, that kind of stuff!"

"Well I don't know, I only know that people tend to stay away from her for whatever reason. If you wanna find out that bad, why don't you go ask her yourself?" And before Axel could reply, Demyx and Roxas had already tossed him over to her locker, and fell onto the floor and again was looking up at Larxene from the ground.

"What's with you and floors?" Larxene glanced down quickly at Axel, and looked back up to reopen her locker.

"I don't know, I like it down here...nice and comfy." He sighed as he patted the floor. Larxene actually giggled for a split second, then blushed pink and looked away hastily from Axel direction.

"You set the hook Axel, now REEL-IT-IN." He thought to himself, and got up finally and brushed himself off. He turned to see Demyx and Namine still watching, and Roxas was off by the bubbler tying his shoes, though his and almost everyone else's attention was struck to Axel and Larxene's conversation.

"So uhh...I was thinking about last night and...you think maybe that-" He was cut off by the slam of Larxene's locker shutting, revealing her stern face hiding behind it.

"I don't think so. Didn't we go over this?" She rolled her eyes and began to walk in the other direction.

"You better get to class..ummm..."

"The name's Axel. Remember that." Axel replied with a grin, and turned on his foot to see Demyx and Namine practically begging Axel to tell them what happened. Roxas didn't seem so excited.

"So you survived?" Demyx asked.

"Yeah I did. Almost got her too." Axel winked to couple of girls off in the distance to keep them from coming over into their conversation. It worked, and they turned in the other direction and walked away, arguing over who he winked to.

"So what happened?" Namine asked eagerly. "What'd you say to her?" But before Axel could answer, he was cut off by a voice.

"Shouldn't you kids be getting to class?" and they turned to see the principal overlooking them. Principle Xemnas was very tall, and had long silver hair that was neatly fanned around his suit. He looked down at them with his usual serious scowl. And Roxas came in to break the silence.

"Oh we were sir, just helping Demyx open his locker again." He gave Xemnas a sheepish smile, and he bought it.

"Well don't stay out for too long or you'll miss the bell, which should be ringing in about forty seconds..." He looked at his watch and then walked by them, heading for his office.

"Dude why do you gotta use that excuse every time?" Demyx punched Roxas in his shoulder, to which he barely felt.

"Alright I'll see you guys later." Roxas said with a small smirk.

"I have biology with Ms. Ron, woohoo!" Demyx said as he happily leaped up the stairs, only to trip on the first one. "I meant to do that..." He groaned as he picked himself up and stumbled to the 3rd floor.

"C'mon Namine, we're off to History with Professor Saix!" Axel exclaimed and grabbed Namine hand and dragged her to the end of the hall and into their class.

--History with Professor Saix--

Axel slid into his seat in the back of the class and leisurely picked is feet up onto the desk. Namine quietly sank into her seat in the front of the class and pulled out her books and homework from her bag. All of the girls kept looking back to gaze at Axel leaning back in his seat. It seemed as if anything he did made him the center of attention, to all of the girls, at least. The chatter of the students turned to dead silence as Saix came into the room. Professor Saix was tall and intimidating, and is also the assistant principal of Haven Hart, and also takes care of the disciplinary issues. A usual punishment from him is an in-school suspension, and an office detention, so people behaved particularly in his class. Even Axel was more courteous in his class, tough he was still far from it.

"Alright, let's get class under way." Saix said with his usual monotone voice. "Take out your homework from last night on The Middle Ages." And the students began to shuffle through their backpacks and pulled out their work. Saix walked up and down the aisles, checking each paper carefully to see if anyone copied another paper or just blew off the assignment. "Namine, excellent work as usual." Saix smiled as he checked off Namine's work, and moved down the aisle until he was greeted by Axel's bare desk. "And Axel...where is your homework?" Saix crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes down at Axel. "Well it's a funny story really." Axel said with a big grin. "You see, I was working my brains out on this ingenious homework that only your brilliant mind could conjure up, when all of a sudden I was attacked-by thousands of miniature dwarfs! These things were vicious little monsters and they hung me on my ceiling and devoured my homework and-" Axel was cut off from his story by Saix's deep voice."That's enough, Axel. You could have just told me you didn't do it instead of making up some outrageous story from you head as usual. I'll let you off with a final warning. Next time you'll get a detention. Are we clear?"

"Yes Professor Saix..." Axel mumbled and slid down into his seat. "Good. And pick your feet up off of your desk." And with that, returned to his desk to begin class. The forty nine minute course dragged on, most of which Axel either daydreamed or slept through, which the professor noticed, but didn't bother with. Saix knew Axel too well; after all, he has been in his class for the past two years. And he knows all too well that Axel one does thing in all his classes-nothing. "Okay class, you homework for tonight is to study up for our chapter test on the Middle Ages next Tuesday, and have a nice weekend." Saix yelled over the screech of the 6th period bell as the students left his classroom. Axel caught up with Namine in the hell, who was again at her locker. "Well he was rather lenient today, wouldn't you agree?" Axel asked, and Namine smiled in return. "Well that's only because it's Friday-everyone's in a better mood on Fridays. I'll see you later, Axel." Namine replied, and headed off to the last class of the day. Axel sighed and pulled open his own locker, and fished around in piles of junk and papers until he found his science book and slammed his locker shut to see Larxene walk past him, her bag slung over her shoulder. Axel sighed for a minute and watched her go by, but shook out of his thoughts and caught up to her.

"Hey." Axel said cheerfully.

"Hi there." Larxene replied to him and began to walk faster.

"Did you remember my name?" Axel asked, trying to start a conversation going with Larxene, which wasn't going so well.

"No I didn't, and I don't care." She replied to him with a clod stare and stopped.

"Well I'll refresh your memory then. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?" Axel said with another big grin. She just rolled her eyes and moved on downstairs, and Axel followed.

"Can you give me a straight answer for once?" Axel joked.

"I don't think I could." Larxene replied, and stopped on the stairs. "Look, I have a class to get to. Don't follow me there Axel." And Larxene again turned around and headed into the hall. The bell rang, and Axel was late for class. But he just stood there, lost in his thoughts. "She remembered my name...wait till Roxas hears about this!"

(AN: WHEW, that took forever...hope you're liking it so far, I'll start working on it again when I finish Organization's Halloween;henceforth known as OH :D)
