The lunch hour came around the gang met at their usual spot in the schools plaza which the principal allowed them to use like a VIP lounge, just because Cloud use to be best friends with his little brother.
"So it's agreed, we're all gonna see each other at the bon fire tonight." Ventus stated.
"No objections here, besides we gotta spend some time with the seniors before they take off." Lea said, looking at Reno, Rod, Cloud and Leon.
Reno yawned and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just don't make us look back today like Riku did to his brothers. Loz, Yazoo, and Kadoj weren't able to go out in public for a month without being laughed at. Wait that was a good thing." They all laughed.
The three Reno had named were triplets, elder brothers of Riku, and all well disliked but everyone in Twilight Town. When they graduated Riku made sure to pull a good prank on them the last day of school when the student council decided to have a carnival.
Riku suggested a Haunted House and was in charge of the whole thing. His bothers had the unfortunate opportunity to be the first ones in and it took them a good hour to get out, when they finally did the whole school, including the faculty, laughed at the fact that they had brownish- green guck around their mouths and white all over their lower regions.
Of course Riku was grounded by their father, Sephiroth, but everyone who heard about it congratulated him "Yes, it was quite a prank. But you shouldn't think that just because I did it to them we'll do it to you, they were major bastards so they deserved it." Riku said.
"Yeah, you guys actually made the school better. I mean you guys are on the student council." Sora said while twirling Riku's hair.
"Speaking of being the student council, Sora have you been campaigning?" Leon asked.
His younger brother nodded "I'm going for president like you Niisan."
Cloud chuckled at the answer "I told you he'd be like you."
Leon smirked and looked to Roxas and Ventus "And which of the twins will be VP?"
At that comment Cloud, Roxas and Ventus smiles turned into frowns "We're not." Roxas said.
"Why not? Riku called dibs?" Axel said jokingly.
"It's not that, we're- Ow!" Ventus couldn't explain on account of Roxas jabbing his elbow into his ribs.
Axel saw the look on Roxas' face; the blond looked as if he had a strong, heart-tearing sense of regret and he didn't want it to be known.
"Yo Roxy, come with me for a few?" the re- head said as he stood up.
Roxas nodded and got up to follow his friend to another part of the plaza where the other's couldn't hear the conversation they were about to have "What's up Ax?" he asked when they were in the spot Axel intended.
"Why wouldn't you let Ventus talk? What's going on that you're not talking to me about it at least?" Axel responded.
Roxas looked as if the answer stabbed him direct in the heart "I don't want to talk about it." He said.
"Why not? You know you can tell me anything. We promised we would the day of that accident back when we were in middle school. Why can't you talk to me now?"Axel demanded.
"Because I don't want to hurt you!" the sudden reply shocked Axel and Roxas, the blond had never really been one to shout back at anyone for any reason so the exclamation was a shock to both of them.
Before Axel could say anything there was a loud beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! and the voice of the principal came from over the intercom "Roxas and Ventus Strife to Principal Fair's office. Roxas and Ventus Strife to Principal Fair's office."
Roxas sighed "Let's just drop this okay? I'm sorry. I'll see you later." And he ran up to Ventus and they left to the principal's office.
Angeal Fair sat in his office waiting for the two he had just called upon. Knowing full well where they were he took the time he had to look at the pictures on his desk, one of him and his long passed little brother Zack, one of his parents, one of him with two of his best friends, Sephiroth and Genesis at their college graduation, and one of his brother with Cloud before Zack died three years ago.
The door opened and the Strife twins walked in "You wanted to see us sir?" Ventus asked
"Yes. Regarding the classes you signed up for next year, I'm glad to report you both qualify for the curriculum of the school you're transferring to. You'll have no problems once you're there." Angeal said.
"That's good to know, thank you Mr. Fair." Ventus said with a smile, Roxas just nodded.
"Is there something wrong Roxas?" Angeal asked.
"No sir. Thank you." Roxas answered and he left.
"What is wrong with him Ventus?" Angeal asked.
"He didn't tell Axel we were leaving at the end of the month. He's at least trying not to let it get to him, especially today." The blond answered.
