Two: Roxas

The advantage of sitting in the back of the bus is that you are more away from the noise and the obnoxious kids, the disadvantage is you have to wait patiently for everyone to get off, either that or jump out the emergency exit door.

It didn't really matter if I was late to class, it was only my second day after all and they'd be total jerks about it if they gave me a detention for being late on my first day.

I muttered a small thanks to my bus driver who was a chunky old man who glared at the noisy kids through the review mirror. Don't blame the guy.

The crispy October air was the only thing to greet me as I stepped off the bus clutching my mothers sketch pad tightly, hugging it close to me. I did not want a repeat of what happened yesterday when some dumb ass bumped into me, causing me to drop my sketch pad and nearly fall on my face. I couldn't forget his appearance if I wanted too.

Who could forget hair, the color of ketchup, styled like a lions maine , bright green eyes, and black smudges of makeup underneath them like a football players? Now I'm really glad that I don't fit into this zoo of a High School, if that was the hairstyle. Wouldn't surprise me.

The hallways are worse, people decide to stand in the MIDDLE of the hallway to chat with there friends! Forget all about the SIDES and make people freaking late why don'y ya!? Or how about those horny teenagers sucking faces in the hallway? Or those weirdos who spend their time in the bathroom smoking who-knows-what!?

As much as I try not to complain because Mum always use to say that complaining will only make things worse for you. But I have to say that I wish that I could stay at home with Nora all day, giving her the love and attention she needs and deserves. I still wonder how shes doing with Mum's death that wasn't so long ago, she told me she was fine and that she knew she was in a better place, but she was just repeating what I told her.

Shes five, and she lost her own mother. Yeah, she was my mother too, but I'm seventeen and I can handle it better since I'm older. Nora is only five. With hemophilia, bringing her life at risk. The poor thing. If only it were me.

Suddenly, I find myself bumping into something solid and firm, I was surprised that it was a person and not a wall...since wall's never smelt that good...

"Oh excuse m-" I started to say as I looked up at who I had bumped into but my voice trailed off when I saw him for the very first time.

He was a good six inches taller than me, he wore black clothing, all black. (Hoodie, skinny jeans, and Osiris) his hair was wispy and a golden color, his skin was flawless, kind of like the ones you seen in cover magazines and TV shows, absolutely perfect.

But it was his eyes that got me.

They were an unbelievable shade of bright blue, like the early morning sky, crystals, or like how I mix a bunch of my blue paintings together to get the brightest blue color. Those were the color of his eyes, they were amazing and I couldn't stop staring at them, even if they had all that black crap underneath them. Eyeliner, I will never understand why emo guys were eyeliner! Wait...was he emo? He IS wearing all black!

He continued to stare down at me, his eyebrow arched and his eyes shimmered with amusement.

Oh, I guess this is my part to say something!

"SorryIwasn'tpayingattentiontowereIwasgoing!" My words came out fast and all together in one sentence I felt my cheeks burning, probably a darker red than an apple!

I did not give him time to respond, probably asking me what the hell I just said as I sprinted as fast as I could away from him, my hair flying wildly behind me and my heart racing in my chest, I did not slow my pace until I reached my art class.

What has gotten into me!?


When I arrived in Art, I made sure to sit the farthest away from everyone, I felt eyes on me as I walked over to the table way at the back of the room. I had no problem with ignoring them, you can say I've became anti-social, or socially awkward, and I would not lie about that. I was.

When Miss Bird, took attendance I did not bother to look up when she called my name, only simply raising my hand to let her know that I was here, and that earned me some giggles and whispered. No surprise there.

As I focused on the details and the shading in my moms dark crimson hair, which she passed onto Nora, and I've got my dad's coloring, but Nora also got our fathers blue eyes, my mother had wide chocolate brown eyes. Being the swift artist that I was, I finished the drawing of my mother in fifteen minutes, I was oblivious to the person sitting next to me, until they decided it was the perfect time and idea to bump arms with me while I was in the middle of writing my mothers name on the side of the page.

Cissnei Shinra_

Damn it!

"Ohh! Sorry!" A high and very fake-sounding voice said besides me, I brought my eyes up to find myself staring at the girl with the short black hair on mu bus, she had blueberry-colored eyes, and her hair was a cute bob-style that reminded me of Nora's, however Nora's was an auburn red.

She was pretty, and she had a nice shape to her. I noticed that she wore a cheer-leading outfit that was bright orange and in bold purple letters across her chest saying: GO PHANTOMS!

Yeah, Phantoms was the Mascot here at Twilight High.

I peered over the dark haired girl to see a girl wearing the same uniform with ruby-red colored eyes, and silver hair? Boy...people at this school sure are strange...but who am I to talk?

"Gee Fuu, I don't think she talks!" The girl with the black hair said to the girl with the silver, who I was assuming was Fuu. They both laughed at me while I stared at the blankly.

"Loser." Fuu replied before blowing a big black bubble. Black bubble gum?

"I-I...Talk..." I stammered feeling the heat rise to my cheeks, my response caused the girl with the black hair to gasp.

"OMG! That is a relief, cause at first I thought you were gonna turn out to be like...like my X-BF Roxas!"

Roxas? Never heard of such a name...Roxas...

"Roxas?" I echoed, I couldn't help shuddering as the name left my lips...as weird as it felt...I liked saying it...

Did Dad spill his alcohol with the milk this morning by any chance? I feel like I'm loosing it.

"I'm Xion Fair! You are!?" The girl with the black hair said quickly as if I had never spoke, I decided to push that away and just tell her my name. Your name is one of the biggest things everyone knows about you, right?

"N-Namine...Namine Shinra" I replied slowly before accepting her hand shake, when I pulled away my entire hand smelt of cherry-blossom perfume from a mile away. Great, shes one of those girls that loves to bath in their perfume and lotion products.

"Natalie, this is my totally awesome BFF, Fuu Valantine! Xion said pointing at Fuu who was now staring at me blankly.

"Namine..." I corrected looking back at Xion who waved a hand at me followed by a fake giggle.

"Whoopee! My B!"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, her fake-bimbo of an attitude was really starting to get on my nerves. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped when the door creaked open, to that same exact boy who I've bumped into earlier...

"Humph! Late again, are we Roxas Strife?" Miss Bird scowled.

"ROXAS!?" Xion and I gaped together.

THAT was Roxas?

His last name sound vaguely familiar...but I wasn't exactly sure why...


A/N: Yes...as you can tell there parents are the characters from Final Fanatsy VII, if you have a problem with that...than sorry, go and read something else. If you are enjoying this and looking forwards to more, thank you and I'll see you next chapter! :)
