(AN: Whew, sorry it's been so long since I've updated X__X Had to finish all those other stories, y'know. That and I just wanted to take a quick breather from writing. XP)

"You're serious?" Roxas said with a non caring look wiped on his face.

"Yep." Axel replied with a smile, stretching back in his chair. "She remembered my name Friday. I'm so in." Though it was Monday, Axel was in a particularly good mood. But he was alone there, for everyone else seemed to be having a bad day, because well, Mondays suck. Zexion usually just sat in the back and read his new history book that he bought from the library. That guy was a total bookworm. Once last year Axel and Demyx tried picking open his locker to stuff in a bunch of dead lizards in it, and about eight or nine books flooded out and attacked Demyx. Plus, the guy just always has a book in his hand everywhere he went-even in gym class. Once he actually played basketball and tried to read at the same time. He would actually be pretty good at it, if he didn't have his nose stuck in the book during the time. "Hey, watch this." Axel giggled to Roxas, who was finishing up some late math work he forgot to do over the weekend. Roxas looked back with is usual blank face as Axel tiptoed by the rows of day day dreaming students to the back of the room to where Zexion sat. He didn't notice Axel leaning over him, because he had his face buried inside of the pages of his new history book he seemed to enjoy.

"HEY ZEXY WHATCHA READIN'?!" Axel yelled practically at the top of his lungs, not only startling Zexion, but the rest of the class as well. Some passing students peered their heads in for a moment to see what the yelling was about. Zexion leaped out of his chair and juggled his book desperately in the air, only for it to crash to the floor.

"AXEL!" Zexion growled and glared at the red-head a menacing look, and took off his reading glasses. "Hey, hey, easy buddy, just wanted to know what you were reading. No need to get all touchy, jeez." Axel said calmly,and walked back to his chair, slapping some of his other friends high fives along the way. When Roxas looked up at the teacher, she didn't even seem to care, or notice for that matter. It was Mrs. Kelly, after all; she was ancient. She's so old that she's half deaf, and has a hearing aid in her right ear. During their freshman year, a few kids from the Varsity football team stole her hearing aid and blamed it on Axel, Roxas, and Demyx. At this time, Axel and Roxas didn't even know Demyx, but they got to know each other rather well in their two weeks of detention together. Axel and Roxas had their first period with each other in Wood shop with Mrs. O' Brian. Axel did unusually well in her class. He fails just about all of his other classes besides this one. Demyx thinks it's some kind of evil conspiracy, seeing that everyone else fails that class; even Naminé had to take a C in that class for one semester, so she dropped out and took up a study period instead. So Axel started to doze off just before the homeroom bell rang, and off to class they went.

--Wood shop--

Today Mrs. O' Brian's class, the class was directed to make a birdhouse for about the 7,000th time. Axel excelled at this. He would be the first one done, working swiftly and hastily. Roxas would always struggle, and seeing how "nice" Axel is, he would tend to give him a hand every once in a while. Mrs. O' Brian would come to Axel's desk and give him a "well done Axel, as usual." and and the usual A he got almost every class. And Roxas had to settle for his usual, "better luck next time, Roxas." and the usual C- he got every class.

--Skipping to 4th Period--

Axel completely blew off class from 2nd all the way to 4th period. He would just hang out in the halls all the time, and students would notice, but no one would ever tell a teacher about it, because no one wants to be labeled as a snitch. So between 3rd and 4th period, Axel saw Larxene coming out of biology, and she looked pretty pissed. He thought to himself whether or not to go talk to her, but his thinking ceased when he saw Zexion catch up to her first. Larxene's angry and moody disposition was completely obliterated and replaced with joy and giddiness. She looked very happy to see Zexion, and they both hugged for a second. Axel could only just stare in disbelief at what was happening. "What the hell does Zexy have that I don't?!" He thought to himself, still watching carefully what was going on. They started talking, and they both walked away together up the stairs. Axel decided to follow them and find out more about what they were doing. He noticed that Zexion had 2 books in his hand and carrying his reading glasses. He handed Larxene one of the books, and she seemed even happier than before. She gave Zexion a big hug before going to class. Axel ran up to Zexion before he could escape into his classroom. "Hey, Zex, what was that all about?" Axel asked, and Zexion jumped in fear at the sound of Axel's voice. "Wh-what do you want?" Zexion asked, his voice cracking. "Well I just wanted to know what you were talking to Larxene about."

"None of you business, that's what!" Zexion said angrily, and stormed into his classroom. It seemed that he didn't want to talk to Axel at all after this morning.

--5th Period Gym Class(:D)--

This class had the whole nine yards. Because he not only had Roxas, Demyx, and Naminé in gym, he also had Zexion and Larxene too, THIS was his favorite class. Today, they were playing ultimate frisbee out in the enormous soccer fields behind the school. Naminé was really good at ultimate frisbee, and team captains argued with each other over who would get first pick, or basically Naminé. Though Demyx and Zexion were not the most athletic students, ultimate frisbee was a sport that took little or no athletic skill.

"I wanna be on Larxene's team." Axel said with a grin to Demyx as he put on a blue pinnie over his shirt.

"Why does that completely not surprise me?" Demyx said with a smile and shook his head.

"Well if you want to be on her team so bad, go ask the teacher. Axel looked up with almost a frightened look at the teacher. Mr. Talbot was very muscular, and coach of the football and basketball team. It didn't seem as if he would really care about what Axel wanted. So when Axel feebly trudged over to the teacher's direction, he noticed just how giant Mr. Talbot really was. To him, Axel was a miniature twig, and looked like he wanted to snap Axel in half and use him as a tooth pick.

"Hey uhh...Mr. Talbot, can you do me a favor?" Axel asked sheepishly.

"What is it?" Mr. Talbot asked, some concern actually in his look.

"I was wondering, well, if you could put me on Larxene's team--"

"Say no more." Mr. Talbot put a hand up to stop Axel from talking. He leaned down to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I know what you're thinking. But sure, why the hell not, I know what it's like to be a kid. Sure, I'll put you on her team. You just gotta make sure you get yourself the balls to talk to her, though. Got it?" The teacher nodded to Axel, and he nodded back in return. "Well that was easy." Axel said with a confidant smirk to Demyx.

So now the teams were picked: red vs blue. Larxene, Axel, and Naminé on blue, Roxas, Demyx and Zexion on red. Ultimate frisbee was kind of like football; you had to get the frisbee to the opposing team's zone. But you can't run with it, only pass, and play to 11 points. So as soon as the game started, Axel quickly ran over to Larxene.

"Hey Larxene!" Axel said with a grin.

"Axel, nows not the time to talk." Larxene returned, not looking in his direction.

"Nows the perfect time to talk!" Axel yelled, trying to bring his voice over the yells from other students to each other about their strategy. Axel's team was already winning, thanks to Naminé.

"Fine, then what's on your mind?" Larxene finally turned to him, putting a hand on her hip.

"Well I wanted to know what was up with you and Zexion." Axel said, looking back at the field to see Demyx trip over himself trying to dive for the frisbee.

"I don't think that's any of your business." Larxene said with a scowl.

"But why would you hang out with a wimp like Zexy anyway? He can't even defend himself."

"Why should it matter if he isn't the most popular kid? He's nowhere near a big of a jerk as you are." Axel turned his head from her to think. That one hurt Axel like a low blow. Finally he turned back to her ready to say something again. But before he could get his words out, he turned to see Demyx flailing his arms wildly at Axel, trying to shout something from across the field.

"Caught down from the dead? What???" Axel yelled back to him.

"No, I think he means, "Watch out for your head." Larxene pointed out as the frisbee came as if out of nowhere and whacked Axel right square in the head.

--Nurse's Office--

"You okay, Axel?" A voice called out form the dark. Axel sat up, his eyes still closed. He felt a throbbing pain in his head, like someone just whack him in the face with a hammer.

"Oh my head...what happened?" Axel said, still rubbing his forehead. He looked p to see Roxas, Demyx and Larxene in the infirmary along with the nurse.

"A frisbee whacked you square in the head." Larxene said and rolled her eyes. "Hard to believe you fainted from that. Although on your way down you did hit your head on a rock too, so that probably just made it worse." Axel looked at Larxene, then back at the nurse. "Demyx and I had to carry you all the way back to the school." Roxas said with a smile. "You weigh a ton!" Demyx said, rubbing his arms. "I think I pulled something carrying you."

"And you called Zexion a wimp?" Larxene said and gestured over to Demyx.

"Ughh..what period is it?" Axel said, feeling the gauze that was wrapped around his wound.

"Seventh. And you got a pretty bad cut on your head from that rock. I wouldn't come to school for a few days until that can heal." The nurse, said and wrote something down on a piece of paper. "Here, give this to the main office. They'll let you call your house so you can get a rise home. And feel better, okay?" The nurse lectured, and Axel nodded. When they were all leaving the nurse's office, Axel looked at Larxene with a smile. "Ohhh the pain...my head hurts so much...hold me?" Axel said innocently with his arms open, and Larxene just smiled and walked away.

"Oh hey!" Axel called to her while she was walking back to the 2nd floor stairs.

"I might have bumped my head pretty hard and barely remember half of fifth period, but I did remember what we were talking about, and I won't rest until I get my answer!" Axel shook his fists in the air with a triumphant look on his face. Larxene looked at him for a second, and hurriedly jumped up the stairs.

"Nice going Axel, you know how to make girls run away." Demyx said with a laugh. Axel turned to see Demyx trip a book bag left on the floor outside of Mrs. Schneider's math class. Axel and Roxas peered inside to see that Zexion was in that class, intensely taking notes on the lesson.

"What a nerd." Axel said aloud, and darted away from the door as Zexion looked up from his work suspiciously. Fortunate for Axel, he didn't see him.

"Don't ever think aloud again, Axel." Roxas warned.

"Hey guys, look at this!" Demyx waved to Axel and Roxas, who ran over to see what Demyx had. Apparently the book bag he tripped over was none other than Zexion's and in it was all of his favorite books to read. But one book caught Axel's interest as he pulled it out.

"Oh man! It's his Journal!" Axel said with excitement, and hastily opened up the book and skimmed through the pages. Before he could read anything, Roxas snatched it out of his hands and out it back in the bag. "I don't think we should be doing this. We've bothered him enough."Roxas scolded Axel, but was completely ignored. "I'm taking it anyway." Axel said defiantly like a small child and picked out the journal from the bag and slid it in his backpack. "I will fins out what he's doing with Larxene, and his journal will probably tell me." Axel said to Roxas and put on his puppy dog face. "Fine." Roxas finally sighed. "But leave me out of it. I don't want him to hate me more than he already does." Right after Roxas finished talking, Axel quickly opened up the journal and began reading from a random page, and started laughing out of nowhere.

"It says here he actually looks forward to reading assignments! And he has some stuffed monkey he reads to on weeknights! Named Ted! What a loser!" Axel started laughing at his own jokes, reading more and more as he made his way down to the office.

"He's so screwed." Demyx said, shaking his head to Roxas.

"Yep." He said in agreement.

"Totally screwed."

(AN: Okay, this one took me like, a day and a half to write, to sorry if it's a bit quick for you . But I wanted to get my mind lowing before school started up again(which is tomorrow by the way, sucks for me DX) And I'll be sure not to leave this story dangling for two months like I did before with it, though I might not have as much free time on my hands anymore, so don't kill me if I don't have a new chapter in the next two weeks X_X)
