Roxas lay awake in his broken bed, his icy blue eyes sought out each crack above his head which were causing haphazard shadows to form across the ceiling due to the light that was creeping through the boarded up windows, they reminded him of small shadow monsters reaching for him and they were ones he had memorised over and over since his memory first began. Nibbiling his lip slightly he brought his body in, curling up into a ball as he whispered his most desired wishes for the morning that was about to come, careful not to pull open the cuts along his back or get another bruise on a bruise.

"pwease...Pwease let today be better. Let my friends be happy and not feel any pain today...Please...no more tears. I don`t want to be alone anymore so tell mummy to visit, just once...just to take me away from here" he bit his finger hard as he felt water rising to his eyes, he knew he couldn`t cry. It wasn`t allowed, it was a sign or inferiority and a baby and he was no baby he had proved that many times to Seifer and his stupid gang of fat heads that new nothing and just bullied others because they were jealous. Roxas sighed and brought his attention back down to the piece of jewellery that hung loosely around his small neck, smiling as his thumb traced the outline of the inscription; from what he understood his thumb traced a line that went up and over and looped as freely as water and he knew, deep down that it was his mummys necklace; and that she was just lost and probably had the other piece seeing as it appeared to be missing an attachment. Suddenly grinning as an idea sparked in his mind, Roxas jerked into a sitting position and leaned over the bunk bed so he was dangling, the blood rushing to his head as his blonde hair remained fluffy and untamed just as wild as his eyes must have looked as he almost head butted Hayner who had just sat up in his bed, rubbing his eyes of sleep obviously squealed.

"NYaaah! What the- Roxy what are you doing!" huh he managed to not punch me this morning…

"Ha-ha! You should have seen you`re face...and it`s Roxas girly boy" he grinned widely as Hayner made to push his face away, awkwardly helping him back into his own upper bunk bed.

"You know one of these days i`ll hit you as a reaction to that…and it won't be an accident this time"

"And maybe you won`t pee yourself too" Roxas giggled lightly as he winked brightly but Hayner just punched him in the leg as Roxas had began his descent, making him fall awkwardly onto the hardwood floor. There was a moment of giggling and shuffling as the boys fought amongst each other before pain slice up Roxas back. Immediately Hayner let go and leapt away as if burned, afraid to cause more noise and pain for Roxas. Turning over onto the side of Hayner's bed he began to rub his back better but Hayner saw the end of a jagged weld appear beneath the rumpled shirt as Roxas soothed his back. There was a moment's pause as they both swallowed the underlying rule of the school, Hayner looking at the wound with something akin to fear and anger.

"No Pain, no gain" as in to say, the school gives pain to those who wish to gain more knowledge and happiness. It made no sense to Roxas but the canings and burns must be for a reason...they can`t be for fun surely. After a moment Hayner took a hand to smooth Roxas back gently which he allowed reluctantly.

"Roxy...you have to be good today...otherwise..."Hayner trailed off for thought but was interrupted by Roxas who cut across by literally turning his body to stand up above him.

"No...I will never bow down to .ever. not after what Reno did for me...I can`t lose hope! Even you pwomised with everyone...come on! Today is the day...i can just feel it" Roxas spoke through gritted teeth. Hayner looked away from Roxas hopeful eyes, knowing they would be full of such emotional pleading he would have to say…

"Yes?!"

Hayner stamped his foot as soon as he realised he had said it but Roxas was already grinning widely and pulling him onto the bed.

"Don`t worry...this time I pwomise...we`ll get out of here ok...and we`ll find our friends Olette and Pence...yea!" he grinned and before Hayner knew it the smile had spread across his face, the feeling of hope warmed his heart and stomach enough for the day and he nodded placing his hand in front of Roxas as an offer to shake it. It was hard to let those two go, knowing they were free with their parents now and hopefully happy and safe…it was usually the most important thing on both their minds except themselves, and their worry was growing more by the day as they hadn't heard from them at all…like they`d never existed.

"We`ll find your Mam too...how`s about that?" Roxas nodded heavily before grabbing Hayner's hand and shaking it as if this was an important deal. The two boys nodded and looked seriously at each other for about before bouts of laughter could be heard from the two, no matter how hushed it had to be as the two huddled under the covers to check through their new plan...they knew today would be the day everything changed and hopefully for the better, Roxas even had butterflies in his stomach which according to Olette meant good luck though Hayner just smacked him over the head and called him a girl when he said that, but he could tell Hayner felt the same too

…but he still punched him in the leg for the remark.

It was just after breakfast had begun and the two boys were seated around a dingy table it all reminded Roxas a little too much of Oliver Twist but he shook his head

There was no Nancy here to look after us and… he gazed over to Hayner and choked on his bread as he held down a laugh which Heiner caught and nudged him

"what`s so funny?"Hayner asked ,curious

"Nutting" Roxas shrugged nonchalantly

"just spit it out already…" Hayner rolled his eyes, wanting to eat the food infront of him before it got taken away before he saw Roxas duck towards his plate

"Ok…" and Roxas proceded to open his mouth

"No that's icky! …plus it`s a waste dumbass" Hayner pulled him back by his hair but Roxas was laughing.

"whatever weirdo…I was laughing cos this reminded me of Oliver Twist"

"ah…no Roxy!" Hayner looked over at him, horror stricken

"What?" Roxas panicked a second, looking about him, his feet barely touching the floor as he shifted about.

"Y-you`re turnin…turnin` into a nerd!" Hayner whispered as he hugged his friend into his chest, dramatically sobbing.

There was a pause before a fuming Roxas pinched Hayner's side too much and he had to move in fear of making to much noise.

"Hayner shut up your such a loser! I was just thinking how it looked like it but I thought of you being Dodger and I laughed" Roxas looked smug as he bit into the chunky part of his sandwich. Hayner peered at him over his own before placing it down and facing him.

"why? What`s so funny about that I`m a keen swiper thankya! Besides…I would make a better Oliver because of my charm" he finished with a matter-of-fact eye roll before tucking into his own meal again.

"What charm?" Roxas scoffed

"it`s ok Roxy, i`ll teach you one day" Hayner winked slowly and smiled as Roxas scowled.

"I would never want to learn from a creep like you unless I wanted to make the girls cry and run away from me" Roxas muttered remembering the time time Olette had hid behind him because Hayner was turning on his `charm`

"You do that anyway" Hayner offered lightly, his childish cheeks puffing up in suppressed laughter at the dark look Roxas gave him, though it looked more of a pout.

"Shut up Hayner!" He proceeded to punch Heiner in the arm till Hayner gave with a yelp then nodded over to the double doors, Roxas followed his site and his breath caught.

"Whoa look Roxas it`s Seifer…and the butt heads…a-are we really going to do this?" Roxas looked over to Hayner`s small frame beside him and nodded assertively. Ignoring the bully and his sophomore lackeys as they walked in between the tables, sneering or nodding to people they hated or liked, Roxas and Hayner were first years and all first years were troublesome according to the schools secret laws.

"Yes! We don`t belong here Hayner" Roxas said with such conviction that Heiner felt something stir in his eyes.

"Nor do they" he whispered, gesturing to all the other first years.

"But we can`t help them when we`re stuck too…so let`s run like we planned and we can team up with Olette and Pence again!" Roxas encouraged and it was a hope that Hayner would never doubt because if they lost hope…they lost everything.

"And their parents will help too!" Roxas interjected, nodding again and a grin was plastered to his face which was fairly rare Hayner realised as he watched him for a moment; but it meant that perhaps there was hope and luck because the butterflies had started in his own tummy as he watched the stoic gang walk into the suddenly quiet hall, both boys lost their smiles to replace them with emotionless ones as they swallowed their last bit of bread for the day.

"change" Roxas mumbled as Seifer grew ever closer. Roxas saw Hayner's body tense as did his own but even though the butterflies flew rampant in his tummy too he felt oddly detached and as Seifer walked directly behind him he heard Hayner point -

The signal!

somewhere out the window behind them all, distracting the room while Roxas reached over to the kids plate in front of him and picked up the sandwich, in his haste he just chucked the sandwich over his shoulder, hoping he hit Seifer as he heard a wet slapping sound.

His eyes widened, there was a collective gasp and a few sniggers before a low growl began.

It seemed to echo around the room before a voice filled with poison stammered out behind both boys in such anger the hairs on their neck stood on end.

"Food. Is. Not. To. Be. Played. With!"

And for Roxas, it would be the change into a world he never knew existed.

SCRATCH THAT! I wasn't saying it right so it was weiner for a lot of people ...sorry! XD but at least it would have been a laugh? if not a little annoying :D
