After that long and completely useless week we all met up at the mall at around twelve P.M. Well, we were all there then. I got there last because I found it illogical to get up at dawn to go to a mall that wouldn't open until fairly well past ten A.M. We walked in and I'm bombarded with different putrid smells, like people who really should take a shower, people who put way too much perfume on, perfume shops, bath and body works, and of course the candle shop. I see something whisk by me in a blond fury and I sigh. There Roxas went off to Hot Topic.
"Come on Zexion!" the flaming redhead told me as he grabbed my wrist and ran. Oh how I hate physical contact. When we got to Hot Topic I was just about to hold my nose.
"What is that putrid smell?" I ask in horror as I see a fairly large man blush "oh ew!" I said as I cringed, putting two and two together and finding out what that putrid smell was. Once we had all finished shopping at Hot Topic, which believe me, took a lot more time than it should have, we walked by F.Y.E., who apparently had a band playing because I could smell the- "OW!" I screamed when a sitar hit my head.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!" said the man holding the sitar. I look up to see a man with a dirty blond mullet that, somehow, he pulled off quite nicely, and his eyes like an ocean of beautiful blue water.
"I'm… fine," I said almost in a trance, starring at his eyes as I rubbed my head.
"I'm sorry! It's just… you're so small I didn't even see you!" he paused "I-I mean I didn't mean it as an insult I just-!" I put my hand over his mouth. God I hate people who talk too much. But somehow… I couldn't hate him.
"I'm fine I assure you. I get hit in the head a lot." I said. It's true I did, not for the reason that he hit me on my head though… but I won't get into that just yet. Axel came up behind me with Roxas in hand and looked at the man.
"What happened here might I ask?" He said in a threatening manner, and it worked because the boy stepped back in fear.
"I- I'm really sorry! It was an-"
He started but was cut off by my saying, "Nothing I was just dazed and ran into his instrument." All eyes on me I walked past the boy and said "Are we leaving this putrid place or are we going to sit here and talk like mothers?"
The boy, obviously still feeling guilty about hitting my head, said "well… me and my band are having a beach party if you guys want you can come!"
Axel scoffed "no thank you! I hate the bea-"
"There'll be a bonfire" the boy said interrupting him,
Axel perked up "We're going!" he said as happy as one moron could… maybe even more. Roxas nodded as I stared at both of them in disbelief. It's like Axel would sell his soul to the devil if he could play with fire. Tsk such morons.
"Fine whatever…" I said in my usual emotionless voice. And the tall blond man smiled more than Axel ever could.
"Yay! Here come in, come in! Meet my band members!" he said as he pushed us all in the store. "This is Xemnas, he's our manager!" he said as he pointed to a white haired man with a scowl on his face. "This is Xigbar! He's the bassist." He said as he pointed to a man that looked like a pirate, "This is Xaldin, and he's the guitarist." He said as he pointed to a man with overly large sideburns. "This is Vexen! He's Larxene's brother and tags along all the time!" he said as he pointed to a blond man with long hair. "This is Lexaeus he's our body guard though we don't really need one!" he said as he pointed to a man… see I don't even know if that is a human being! He looks like a rock with hair… "This is Saïx! He's the other guitarist!" he said and pointed to a man with blue hair and a scar that looked like an 'X' on his face. "That's Luxord, he's our drummer!" he said as he pointed to a man with short blond hair and a mustache/beard. "Marluxia and Larxene are the singers" he said as he pointed to a girl with blond hair and antenna like things sticking up and a man… I think…. With pink hair. Once we were all acquainted with the band we said our goodbyes and left the mall.
"He seems… nice," Roxas stated, though I know what he really meant.
"You mean overly hyper and annoying?" I asked as we walked to our cars, we had all parked next to each other.
"Yes… yes I do." Roxas said, getting into his car. I wonder how he even sees the road with how short he is…
"Well bye, bye Zexion!" Axel said, getting into his car, which has flames across the side and a bumper sticker that says 'violence: if it doesn't solve all of your problems, you're not putting fire into the equation' how stupid that bumper sticker is.
"Bye Axel, Roxas" I said as I got into my car and drove off to get ready for the nightmare called a 'beach party.' I shudder at the thought.
