Not Always a Cinderella Story Chapter 3
She?... Oh that's me... Roxas thought sadly looking down. He sighed quietly and walked back the way he came letting his foot steps echo though out the quiet school.
Axel blinked at the sound of footsteps, wondering who it was. He stood up, leaving his stuff on the desk as he looked around the corner. "Roxas?" He asked, voice echoing as he watched the blond walk off.
Roxas turned around with a small smile. "Hey Axel" He replied before turning round to completely face the taller redhead.
"Where are you going? You don't have a class now, either?" The redhead asked, with an eyebrow raised as he gave his own smile.
"I don't have a class now... and i'm just wandering around... I have on no one to talk to... Cloud is in class" He mumbled rubbing the back of his neck.
Axel frowned and nodded. "Well...You could come sit with me? I don't mind...." He stated, turning to walk back to where he had been sitting and working.
Roxas waited for a few moments before following back towards Axel, sitting opposite him looking over his work. "So... do you have any information on the girl?" he asked looking straight at him.
Axel shook his head and shrugged. "Only that she might work at the Diner...and that people obviously think she's a guy just because she has muscles and a flatter chest. That pissed me off. Aside from that, nope."
"But Axel we can't rule out that possibility and what if she DOSE turn out to be a guy... what would happen then?" Roxas asked looking over at the phone.
"But....why would a guy show up at a dance as a girl? Let alone dance with a guy?" Axel asked, raising another eyebrow before shrugging. "Does gender matter me, is that what you are akin? No...No it doesn't. I just figured they were a girl...and I was defending them when someone called them a man." Axel stated, rubbing his arm and looking down.
"Maybe they dressed like that because it was a dare, or that was the only thing they had" Roxas shrugged but still managed to answer his questions with a smile. "But still, that is a good point too...You know... i'm good with unlocking phones... I could give it a try" He said trying to come up with a good enough excuse to have a look at his own phone.
Axel shrugged and nodded. "I guess I just never thought of it. Whoever they were, my God, they knew how to dance." The redhead gushed before shaking his head and smiled. "Uh, sure, you could try." The elder than handed him the phone.
Roxas nodded and smiled taking the phone and pretending to not know the pin. After a few minutes he too smiled. "0808, If i'm not correct that's you birthday too, she must obviously like you a lot." Roxas pointed out 'searching' the phone.
Axel blinked and nodded slowly. "That's ironic. Huh." He mumbled, eyebrows raised in curiosity.
"Well there's no pictures in here... wait I lie... there is a few..." he said quickly before he stood seeing the time on the phone. "Sorry but it's time for class... well... I guess i'll be seeing you around Axel" He said before walking away without the phone... with some pictures on him and Cloud on there.
Axel sighed and nodded, packing up his stuff and grabbing the phone to check it later. He headed down the hall with all his stuff, going to his next class with a smile.
Axel's classes went by fast until it was lunch time. He walked into the cafeteria, finding his usual table and sitting down, waiting for his friends as he pulled out the phone to look through it.
"Have you managed to hack into the girl's phone?" Demyx asked looking over his captain's shoulders trying to get a look.
"No, Roxas did it for me. Speaking of which...." Axel murmured, looking up and searching for the blond friend of his now.
X-X-X-X-X
"So yeah... What should I do Cloud?" He asked his only friend. He had just finished explaining what had happened to him and Axel during their free period and now Roxas was worried that the jock might figure out who he was. "He's not as dumb as people say his is... he's rather intelligent..."
"Well....He seems to be okay with YOU...so maybe he'd be okay with you being the girl, right? I mean, he said gender doesn't matter to him..." Cloud stated with a shrug and a small smile. "Well anyway "I'm sure he's bound to find out here in a few seconds." Cloud muttered, pointing his fork over to the table Axel sat at.
X-X-X-X-X-X
Axel sighed and gave up before he went to go through the phone's information.
"You give up to easy Axel" Demyx said and went back to his food
Axel rolled his eyes and found the menu, glancing through a few contacts before the pictures and blinking at all of the ones of Roxas and Cloud. "Hmm...Must all be friends...?"
"And you know, the twins are planning something at the end of next week for the football team to watch, you coming Axel?" Demyx asked being hyper as per normal.
"Of course I'm going! I need to support my team, right?" Axel said with a smile and a nod, getting nowhere with the phone so he placing it back in his pocket.
"So it is true? You letting the waiter boy say with you?" One male asked looking over at Roxas with disgust.
"Yeah, it is. There's nothing wrong with it! Keep your nose on your own face!" Axel snapped, flipping the man off with a grimace.
X-X-X-X-X-X
Roxas then stood up. "Well I better be going Cloud... I have a lot to do" he said knowing he had no lessons left for today.
Cloud gave a sad smile and stood up, walking over to Roxas and hugging him tightly. "I really am sorry....about everything." He whispered before nodding and sitting back down.
"You've got nothing to be sorry for Cloud, it's my stepmother who has" Roxas said picking his bag walking past Axel and his group to get home... well... hell really.
Axel looked up and noticed the short blond leaving, but fought the urge to follow him out.
"Following him if you really want to" Nexanda said out loud knowing Axel better then anyone else. "Follow your gut feeling; you're not going to go anywhere if you don't" Nexanda pointed out and Roxas quickly left to catch a bus near by.
Axel looked at Nexanda and gave him a knowing smile, which had left a Demyx very confused. The flaming redhead quickly shot up, grabbing his stuff and running out of the building to catch up with Roxas before the bus would be taking him away.
"Don't worry Demyx… everything will sort out soon… I hope and we will surely see a change in our dear captain…" She commented sadly, going to miss the old Axel. But she knew it was for the best of everyone.
X-X-X-X-X
Roxas sighed not knowing the time due to Axel having his phone and he used it for the clock so he wouldn't be late for work and be punished by his stepmother. Once a bus finally arrived he got on asking for the stop out side the diner and paid so he could get on the bus just to be beaten again.
Axel ran as fast as he could, just managing to catch the same bus before it drove off. Panting, he threw in money, and tried to catch his breath as he looked for Roxas was sitting.
Roxas sat at the back with a distant look in his eyes. He gazed out the bus window thinking of other things which was letting his whole body relax.
Axel looked around until he smiled, walking to the back and sitting down. "Hey, Roxas!" He chirped, hoping he wasn't upsetting the other.
"Gah! Axel! What are you doing?" Roxas asked jumping out of his skin. Really he went white as Axel interrupted his thoughts.
"S-sorry! I didn't mean to scare you...." Axel stated sheepishly sitting down next to Roxas.
"Just... don't worry about it, and where are you heading? Home?" Roxas asked looking out the window hoping this would last for years... but it wouldn't.
"Uh....actually...I was heading where you were going... to the diner for something to eat…" Axel admitted, giving a sheepish smile.
Roxas sighed and rubbed his temple, shaking his head. "You can't... you... just can't"
"Roxas, you okay? Why can't I come?" Axel asked, worry written all over his face.
"Because of family, ok?" Roxas said as he sighed and stood up "I've got to get off anyway" he mumbled worried for what Axel may see.
"Is it because of your step-mom?" Axel asked, remembering the night at the diner.
Roxas froze for a moment before looking down "Yes" Was all that he replied before getting off the bus and running in to the diner to start work. He was also getting ready to be hit by his stepmother again for most likely forgetting to do something.
Axel sighed, also getting off the bus, but staying a ways behind Roxas, deciding to..."stalk" him for a bit.
"Hey everyone!" Roxas smiled thinking that Axel had left by now. 'Hi' or 'hey' they all replied. "Is my stepmother in yet?" Roxas asked and one of them nodded and the blond sighed. "Well..." He grabbed his apron from behind the desk and once he put it on he was greeted by his 'mother'. "Yes?" he ask her rudely finally having enough of her attitude towards him. This was when everyone went out for their break so they didn't see what was coming next.
Axel snuck up to the building and hid in the bushes, looking through the windows to watch what might be happening in there. He was worried about Roxas, and he hoped to help in anyway.
There were no customers at the time. From Axel's view there could be seen a lot of shouting from the mother's mouth and three time she slapped him before she left. Roxas then sat down on one of the bar stools quietly crying in his hands pathetically.
