How many raindrops are in a rainstorm?

Two days later it was the first day of school. The school was located just outside of LA, but I lived in Santa Monica. Before i left home I lived outside of LA and i could take the school bus, but now i was too far away so instead I took the city bus, which also meant I had to get up even earlier. The bus was filled with different characters with different styles. There were business men, young adults and someone who looked to be a prostitute... not to be rude or anything. The bus ride took about two hours and forty-five minutes and the whole time my phone was vibrating from Axel's texts. Axel was the head haired man that I owed money to, I found out his name from the newly added contact that he had put in himself. He sent me messages like "You didn't listen to me", "I know you're looking at this" and my favourite "ANWSER BACK!". I didn't bother texting because I didn't know the guy. Hell! he could be a rapist or a murderer for all I know!

The school was very large, not in height, but in length. The school was only one two levels and was separated into different categories. The categories had different *colored buildings, but were attached to the other categories. It was a rainbowed colored school and everyone who went to it was probably embarrassed, I wasn't even on school grounds and I was embarrassed. The center of the school was open and there were chairs, so it must have been the place where you eat. I entered the main lobby where everyone seemed to be going and found my home room. I got lost and wandered around for a good five minutes until a teacher yelled at me and I had to explain that I was lost. Homeroom had some weirdoes in it. Everyone seemed to have their own style and color of hair. Sure my hair was a bit odd, but I looked normal compared to them. The first part of the day was boring as all hell. When Lunch came around I left school property and traveled around for food. I wanted something cheap so I went to a convenience store. There were fans pretty much blowing the items off of the shelves. It was a hot day, especially for me. I still wasn't use to this heat. At the back of the store they had an ice cream section. I looked it over. There were popsicles, ice cream, slushies and more. Then I found something that I liked.

"A Sea salt ice cream please!" But it wasn't just me who said it. I looked over to my left where a girl with short jet black hair was standing looking at me. Her eyes were almost the exact same color as mine. She began to get a look in her eyes. The look of surprise.

"Oh my god!" I stepped back when she grabbed my wrist. I was a little scared... ok ALOT. "Oh I'm sorry!" she let go of me. "You don't remember me do you?" I shook my head. "I'm the one who hit you and sent you to the hospital!" She said that as if it was a good thing. Then the store owner butted in.

"There's only one Sea salt ice cream left, so who wants it?" He held up the popsicle. "I'll buy it and take two bowls and a spoon too please" I was wondering what she was doing.

-x:X:x-

She instead that we'd talk more, so we headed over across the street to an outdoor patio for people to eat on. She took the Sea salt ice cream and broke it in half and divided in-between our bowls. She began picking it up with the popsicle stick and moving it to her mouth while she was talking.

"I'm so sorry!" I could tell that her conscience was bother her ever since that day. I told her it was ok. "Do want me to tell the whole story?" I nodded no since I wanted to spare myself the embarrassment. I got the idea of went on though. She hit me, I went to hospital, the end.

"Your name's Roxas, right?" I wondered how she knew my name. She must have guessed that I was thinking that because she explained how she knew it "I was looking for ID and I found your wallet and it had your driver's license and some other information in it" She downed the last bit of ice cream then began again "So you're from New York? What are you doing here?" I was wondering that myself.

"My mother had to move here for work and I had to follow"

"Oh. What's New York like?" It was hard to explain what your old city was like since it was normal for you. "Wonderful" I simply said and finished mine then looked at my cell phone for the time.

"I have to go back to school now" I got up and she followed. "What school do you go to?" I told her the name and she explained that she also went there. Turns out she was actually in my classes at the end of the day.

"I'm Xion, by the way" She smiled before we walked together.

-x:X:x-

When we got to school Xion went straight to class, while I had to go to my locker. Before we got to school I decided I needed to get something to keep me awake so I got coffee. We weren't suppose to have coffee or anything with caffeine in it at school, but it was either I was sleeping in class, or I was drinking coffee. at the same time that I was walking through the halls of the school Axel was texting me too. I tried to finally answer him, but I ended up smashing into something. My coffee crushed together between me and the object and streamed down to the floor. I swore and the object moved. It wasn't an object like I hoped it to be but instead it was somebody. They were tall and muscular and looked to be a fighter. He disobeyed the school rules of no hats, but he didn't seem like the type to care. I tried to back up and say sorry but before I did he grabbed my collar and pushed me against the wall. I tried to wrestle away but he was far more stronger then me. He began to raise his opposite hand and balled it into a fist. I knew what was coming and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I closed my eyes and bite my teeth together. Then He dragged me towards his way and let go. I wondered what that was about, so as I was catching my balance I opened my eyes and seen someone had him in a headlock. Axel. I first thought was What a stalker he is then I remembered that he had the asshole that was trying to kill me in his arms.

The guy balled up his fist once more and jabbed it into Axel's rib cage. He let go of his grip on him and gasped. A large group of students gathered around as they ignored the bell. "Trying to play hero are we? Well that's something new from you" He punched his open hand. Axel didn't response and lunged towards him with a closed fist. He tried to block it with his forearm but it wasn't very successful when we all heard the cracking of his bone. The impact pushed him to the floor. Axel got on top of him and grabbed him collar and was about to punch him but a stern voice stopped him.

"STOP!" Everyone heard. Some people in the crowd ran away while others stayed near and pretended that they didn't know what was going on. A man with long silver hair appeared from the scattered. The stood with his arm's crossed starring at Axel. "Let go of him" He hesitated but pushed back on his collar and got up. The other guy tried getting up with his right arm but he let out a yelp when he figured it was broken. He gestured the follow me command and Axel and the other guy followed. He once they were on their way he looked at me and said "You too".

-x:X:x-

He made the three of us sit outside his office (which isn't the smartest idea) while he was getting ready for us. The injured man sat across the room and glared at me while he got a nurse to look at his arm. I tried to look away but if I turned to the right I got the window to the principle's office and if I turned to the left I got Axel chewing gum at the end of the chair aisle. Both ways were awkward so I kept my head up looking at the ceiling. The principle called me in first and I explained my side of the story. He told me that I was getting a suspension for tomorrow and said I was excused for today and I could go home. After I was done he walked me to the door and called the other guy, who's name was Seifer. As I walked past him he nugged me. The principle yelled his name and he disappeared into his office.

"First day back and you got me in trouble." Axel starred at me.

"I didn't ask for your help and I didn't need it" I continued towards the door.

"So you're telling me that if I had let you go and sat back and watched you wouldn't have a broken jaw?" That comment made me stop in shock for a second, but once I processed it I stormed out.

-x:X:x-

The next day I just spent recuperating. I laid on the top deck of my boat half asleep. Around the afternoon I heard footsteps beside me.

"Boche go back down, you're not supposed to climb the stairs." The stairs leading up to the top deck were longer then the ones leading into the living area of the boat. Then he moved on top of me. I could feel his presences hovering over my torso. "Boche!" I opened my eyes but it wasn't Boche, nor was it a dog. I flung my legs in instinct and hit whoever it was in-between the legs. I jumped up and seen, guess who, rolling on the ground.

"Shit man! My balls!" It felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. "What the hell!" I had never been that afraid before.

I let him roll around on the floor while I scolded him until he managed to get up. "You don't answer my text"

"Well if you keep doing things like this I won't!" This guy pissed me off. Nobody had made me feel like that before. I sat down on one of the patio chairs and Axel did the same. My dog finally found his way up the stairs and stayed near Axel. My dog loved the stalker more then his owner.

"I found a way you can repay me for now." He paid more attention to my dog then he did me. "And that'd be?" I asked.

"Be my friend for awhile" I coughed on air.

"Listen I know you're a loser and all, but-" He cut me off. "I'm not a loser. I just have my reasons. You should be happy that I found an alternative until you can get money. If I wanted to i could sue you and get more money, but I'm a nice guy" That was true. It's America, you can sue someone for making your coffee too hot. I sighed.

"It's hard to make somebody act like your friend you know, and isn't there others? Can't I do something else?"

"Like I said before, I have my reasons of why I want you to act as my friend" Axel got up. "Text me!" He said before he walked away.

"This is your fault you know" I spoke to my dog and he barked.

Star Notes

Colored: There's two ways of spelling "Colour". The proper way "Colour" and the American way "Color". I am Canadian, but spell it the American way and my friends/teachers call me American for doing so -.-'

Windy's Wonders

Oh god karma came to me two days ago while I was finishing chapter one. Well you know who Boche (the dog) got his paw broken? Yeah my dog managed to escape the yard, because the gate was open for some reason, and traveled around outside and cut her paw, but i didn't realize until my father came home and the saw the gate was open and seen blood on the steps. I noticed brown stuff in the kitchen but it looked like dirt. She didn't start limping until he came home either.

On a brighter side today was my official last day of junior high! woot! next year it's grade 10! But i have to go to a crappy high school where there's always racial fights and crap...yay. So if I don't come on anymore i'm dead.

All reviews, favs and everything else is seen and appreciated even if i don't answer!
