OK! Time to update Threats! Sorry for the long wait, I'm admitting I like to not do my work, but my new year resolution is to actually do my work when i need to(I probably won't stick to it)! SO here it is after a month or so of waiting!
ENJOY! :)
And Im going to try and capture their personalities correctly.
Steam rose in billows from the multiple containers of food. The fried rice smelled heavenly, and a tad spicy. The chicken and broccoli were bathed in a delectable brown sauce. All I could say was that this had to be the best dinner with friends you could ask for. Almost. The only friends I had here were Sora and Ventus. The others were all friends of Sora who either A) hated my guts because I was a homosexual, or B) didn't make an effort to talk to me. So yes, other than that this was absolutely perfect.
We were eating behind the dorms at a creaky metal table missing a few screws. The setting sun was more beautiful than words could describe. You could clearly see the ocean from the dorms, and the it was stunning at sunset with the sun reflecting on the water. That was the only nice part of where we were eating. It was probably meant to be a recreations area, but they scrapped the idea halfway through. There were unfinished basketball hoops, a soccer field with only one goal, and half made bleachers. Technically, this was an area no one would go, ever. I think it's because it's so dumpy and ugly.
The people I'm eating with don't seem to care though. They were either too focused on using their chopsticks correctly, eating their food way too fast, or plotting my death second by second. The chopsticks wre like second nature to me from eating at the Chinese place pretty much everyday back home. I snatched the container of chow mien and shoveled a good heap onto my plate. I let the steam rise up to my face, enjoying the warm tingle and sweet smell the steam brought with it.
I took to bites continuing to stare at the ocean. That's when Xion, the girl who never made an effort to look at me decided to strike up a conversation.
"So, Roxas, are you from the Islands? I don't think I've seen you around here before," She asked me. Her voice was a tiny bit harder than what I'd have expected from her. I thought that her voice would be as innocent as her looks. I swallowed the last bit of chow mien before answering, to not come off as a pig, of course.
"Um, no. I lived in Twilight Town, it's about six hours away by plane," I replied. I unscrewed my soda and took a swig, keeping a close eye on Xion to see her reaction to my moving so far from home. She didn't respond immediately.
"You moved that far? I hope you like it here," She paused for a second, thinking something over. "Isn't Twilight Town the place with blue ice cream?" I had to laugh. It was the same thing Sora had asked, I guess the legend of Twilight Town travels far.
"Yeah, Sea Salt Ice Cream. The best thing you'll ever taste. I had it every day back home. Isn't Destiny Islands the place with that star shaped fruit?" I answered. She smiled at me. I think I've found another friend.
"It's called the Paopu Fruit. They say that if two people share a Paopu Fruit, their destinies will be intertwined for eternity. Isn't that sweet?" I've heard of that legend before, only bits of it really. I always thought it was a load of bull.
"It's sweet, but it's Baloney." Xion stuck out her tongue playfully and laughed.
She ate a piece of broccoli and said, "That's because you don't believe in love!" She accused. She was kidding, but it made me think about the Holy Bible, and how it states homosexuality is wrong. Apparently Kairi thought the same thing.
"Or maybe he loves the wrong way," She hissed sharply. Xion looked confused. She set down her chopsticks and stared at her.
"What do you mean? There's not wrong way to love somebody." I don't know if she was defending me or her views. But at least she wasn't homophobic. Kairi pursd her lips and took a sip of Diet Coke.
"Never mind. Anyway, Xion did you hear about what happened at the beach last night?" The two of them started talking about complete nonsense. Kairi's face grew less and less angry every second. Soon she was laughing and telling jokes just like Xion would be doing with me. Kairi was actually pretty likeable when she wasn't envisioning herself maiming you. I continued eating until Riku spoke up.
"Sora, if you keep eating like that you'll get fat." Sora looked up a him and swallowed the huge amount of food that had been puffing out his cheeks. He crossd his arms.
"No, you're fat." I couldn't help but chuckle at Sora's turning of the tables, or at least his attempt to. Even Riku laughed a little bit. Riku stabbed a piece of pork with one of his chopsticks and held it up, examining it. He pointed at Sora with the chopstick.
"You'll end up like this piece of pork. Fat, juicy, and dead by the time you're 30," I laughed. Riku was funny, even though it was a little demeaning. Riku's eyes flashed to mine. What I saw wasn't loathing, but 9 tenths dislike, 1 tenth like. Maybe, if I continue making good impressions. Cue the bad impressions.
The door slammed open and a large group of people shuffled out of the slim door frame. Among them was Axel and Demyx.
As if on cue, the whole table(excluding me) stood up and glared at the large group of people who just left the dorm building. I'm guessing they had a reputation, or they had a few run-ins that caused hate and rivalry between them. Feeling left out I scrambled up.
Axel smiled at me.
"Hey Twinkle-toes," He said wiggling his fingers and putting an emphasis on the twink in twinkle toes. Jackass. That was my only thought.
"Bastard," That was my oh-so-witty response. It was a lame one, I know. Axel's little followers snickered. My cheeks flared in embarassment.
"Aw, don't get yourself down, Twink. It was as good as you could've done," Demyx said in mock sympathy. That only made it worse. Sora got angry and puffed out his cheeks to show it.
"Hey, lay off!" He shouted at them. All of them laughed again, it was as if they thought of themselves as superior and the rest of us inferior. A lady with striking blue eyes and corn yellow hair styled like anntanae waved her hand and said, "Yeah, yeah whatever, you fags. What kind of food did you get us?" It took me a second to realize she meant the food we had been eating.
"We didn't get you anything, go bother someone else." Riku's reply was cold as ice and razor sharp. Larxene's strange blue eyes (that I deduced were contact lenses) turned to look in Riku's aqua ones. Her pretty pink lips curled into a sneer.
"Oh really? You didn't buy that food for us? I could've sworn you fags had us in mind when you ordered it. Am I wrong Twinkle-Toes?" She turned to me. Her eyes pierced into mine and her sneer became menacing.
"Of course you're wrong, dyke," I mumbled, trying to sound tiny, but failing with the last word I said. Larxene didn't even flinch from the insult. Instead she cackled.
"You're such a stupid little shit, Twinkle-Toes." I glared as hard as I could at her. She didn't even acknowledge my anger. She pushed Xion to the ground and stepped over her and sat down where she had been.
"Beat it losers." We obliged. I rushed to Xion, hoping to help her up. But Kairi got there before me. She looked at me, accusation plain on her face. The funny thing is that she has a right to put the blame on me. If it wasn't for me, Axel wouldn't have said anything to me, and we wouldn't have started fighting. It was all my fault and no one could deny that.
...Outside Sora's dorm...
"Jerks,"
"Assholes,"
"Do you have a brother, Sora?"
Guess which one of those three things I said. If you guessed line number three, you were right. I was plenty angry at them, but curiosty got the best of me. I saw that guy that looked almost exactly like Sora in the hallway watching as people walked by.
"What?" Sora askd turning to me? His face was flushed and his blue eyes seemed harder,
"Do you have a brother?" I asked him again. He nodded distractedly.
"Yeah, Vanitas," He pointed across the hall to the boy I suspected was his brother. He stared at Sora with his empty yellow eyes. "Three years older than me. You should stay away from him, he's bad news." It was a bit surprising that he would talk about his own brother like that. But I guess that some bonds are meant to be broken, like the bond between Axel and I. Broken and to never be mended.
"I will if you tell me to. And who were those people back there?" I asked him. Riku looked at me quickly, then his eyes darted off in a different direction.
"They call themselves the Organization. There's 12 of them all together. The one who pushed Xion is Larxene. The one with red hair is Axel, and the guy with a mullhawk is Demyx. They're bad people, don't talk to them. Stay away from them," He warned me. I nodded. The bad thing was that Axel was my roommate, I'll never be able to abandon him.
"Too bad that Axel's my roommate," I replied not even bothering to mask the hatred in my voice. That reminded me of the punishment I was going to give him. I detatched myself from the wall and walked the few feet to my door.
"Is that why you wanted to change rooms?" He said. I nodded and dug the key to the dorm out of my pocket. I jammed it into the lock and swung the door open. The room smelled like absolute shit. No kidding. I closed the door and quickly locked it. I waded through the filth and approached Axel's bed. I went through the drawers of the desk that was next to his bed, looking for something to mess up.
What I found was an abused iPod. I held it in my hand and turned it over. Maybe I could mess this up. I wanted to do something bad to it, something horrible. Changing the music won't do much, but taking away his music will. I went into my own bag and dug out my paperweight. I placed the ipod shuffle on his desk and gripped the paperweight in my hand. Lucky for my, it was a fairly heavy paperweight of a house.
With all my might I brought the paperweight down on the iPod. I did that many times until all that was left was a small pile of broken technology. I shoveled it into the trash bin. I went through his desk looking for something else.
I found nothing.
Damn. My fun is ruined.
You Likey?
I hpoe you did!
Thanks for reading. And some critiques please?
