Hello again everyone! ^^ Long time no update (mostly because I've been having troubles with my wifi...). Here is Chapter Seven. My writing hasn't improved like I wanted it too, but maybe it might improve as I keep writing more and more ; u ;. Also, I changed the summary of the story but it doesn't effect anything of the story so no worries! ` u `

Enjoy!~

Chapter Seven – Rooftop trouble

Footsteps clattered up the stone stairwell, the two boys running towards the top one behind the other. "Why are we going up here again?" Sora huffed, trying to keep up with the latter. He stopped, hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.

Roxas ceased his ascend, looking down at Sora catching his breath. "While you were spacing out in gym Axel was telling me how Kairi told him to meet up here for lunch," He reached out and grabbed Sora's hand pulling him off balance from his knee, Sora almost tripping as Roxas pulled him along with him up the steps but catching himself. "So c'mon, we're already as late as it is!"

Roxas pushed through the door to see the sun glaring at him. He shielded his eyes, trying to adjust from being in the dark stairwell.

"Sora, Roxas!" The two saw Kairi waving at them from the patterned picnic blanket she was sitting on with the others. They jogged over, the smell of lunches filling their nostrils.

"What happened to the usual spot?" Sora plopped himself down into cross-legged position, leaning back with his hands as support.

"Kairi thought we should all eat up here today," Pence munched on his sandwich. "As a start of something new for the new school year." Kairi and Olette nodded.

Hayner looked Sora up and down, brown eyes scrutinizing his upper body. "Weren't you wearing you winter uniform?" The question grabbed the attention of the others; omit Roxas who knew the answer.

"Oh yeah," Olette joined. "Why is this shirt so much bigger on you too?" She pinched the sleeve.

"Uhhh…" Sora's face became red as he mustered for an answer. Suddenly the roof door flew open, the noise saving Sora from answering. He sighed in relief. 'No need to retell the worst story of my life.'

"Hey, Roxy!" Axel burst in, his energy fiery in the blazing sun that he complained about earlier.

"I knew it was too quiet to be true." Roxas muttered, his lips forming his signature angry pout.

Behind Axel stood three strange others. Notably the trio he met in his history class; Larxene, Demyx, and Zexion. Axel ran up to Roxas, getting towards the ground and throwing his arms around him. "I missed you baby." He teased, kissing the top of Roxas' blonde soft head.

"I was beginning to miss you too Axel," Roxas said. "But then you appeared again."

Kairi giggled at the two and then looking at the new set of people she asked, "Who are you guys?" With the nicest smile she could.

"I'm Demyx." He sat down beside Kairi, Zexion introducing himself as well and sitting beside Demyx.

"Larxene." Larxene huffed as she sat in between Zexion and Axel.

'What a snob.' Roxas rolled his eyes at Larxene, Axel sitting down making Roxas sit in between his legs. "Well aren't you comfortable?"

"Very."

Sora began to eat his lunch, stuffing grape upon grape into his mouth. He gulped it down. "What if we get in trouble for being up here?"

"The more fun!" Pence exclaimed.

"I think I've finally rubbed the boring out of you guys," Axel smirked. "And it only took a year!"

"It's takes a while to catch someone's stupid," Roxas bit into his sandwich, Axel tugging a strand of the blonde's hair from his comment. "You're lucky I'm even letting you sit with me like this!"

"You're lucky it's just sitting." Axel purred into his ear, making Roxas flush a deep shade of pink.

"Calm it down guys, people are eating here!" Hayner scolded, trying to finish the remainder of his food. Larxene proceeded to asking Axel if Roxas was his boyfriend, Roxas bluntly replying with a 'not even close'. The rest of the time went by smoothly. Demyx and Zexion adjusting into the group while Larxene trying to keep herself more out. It was new to her, more than just Demyx and Zexion beside her.

"Do you guys hear that?" Everyone shushed, looking at Sora questionably. He stood and went towards the edge of the building, holding onto the railing as he looked over to the Blitzball field. What he heard was the coach yelling at Riku and his friends, all players in the team.

All the others came to join Sora on the railing. "You're obsessed." Hayner scoffed in whisper. Olette hit his arm.

"Are you guys pumped for this year?" The Coach yelled, he was possibly even louder than the intercom in the mornings.

"Yeah!" The players rooted, all except Riku who smirked. They were all still in their school uniforms.

"Must be a pep talk." Pence said. Sora watched his favorite player carefully, Riku playing with the Blitzball as if a soccer ball. He juggled it from foot to foot, hands in his pockets showing his nonchalant exterior.

"Let's get down," Roxas held onto Sora hand, grasping his attention. "The last thing we need is you tripping again."

Sora frowned, jumping down from the railing. "Thanks for the reminder." He sighed, hunching over.

"Sora fell?" Kairi asked, jumping off the railing.

"Is that why you changed your shirt?" An imaginary light bulb began to flicker above Hayner's head.

"He fell down the bleachers with his two left feet and bloodied up his shirt." Axel snickered.

"Blood," Olette gasped, looking closely at Sora. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, it was just a nose bleed." He waved his hands in front of him, giving off the slightest smile he could bear.

"So whose shirt is that?" Kairi asked. It obviously wasn't his by the difference in size.

"It's-" Sora was cut off, again, from the slamming of the rooftop door opening.

"What are you students doing up here!" Coach Villiers angrily yelled begging to chase after them.

"Run!" Demyx ordered. They all quickly picked up their stuff running away from the Coach chasing wildly behind them. When they reached the stairwell Hayner closed the door in, Roxas locking the monster of a coach outside.

"HEY, YOU KIDS BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR!" The coach banged on the door, the lock rattling in its place securely.

"Make us!" Roxas retorted. He and Hayner ran down the stairs following behind the others. Though their laughter in feeling relieved is what got them caught. Hands grabbed wrists, gripping tightly without intention of letting go.

"Whaddup mon!" Wakka said, pulling Hayner and Roxas's wrists in the air with a huge grin on his face.

"Stop squirming!" Selphie barked at Axel, readying to bite.

"What the - Why are you so strong?" Axel tried to get loose, without succession. Selphie was holding both his and Kairi's wrist. "Talk about hard core."

Kairi wasn't even trying to get loose, noticing Axel wasting his energy. Tidus had Olette and Pence who seemed as if they were about to cry from getting captured. And as for Sora, well let's just say he was in hands he didn't feel like being in right now. Looking up he went into a slight shock to see teal eyes staring back at him. "Is this going to be a daily thing now, or do you just try to end up in my life this much?" Riku asked.

"Wait," Axel calmed down. "Where are Demyx, Zexion and Larxene?"

"I guess the disappeared." Olette said eyebrows risen, looking around to see if she spotted them.

"I told you they were voodoo people!" Axel exclaimed.

"How does that have anything to do with voodoo?" Roxas sighed.

"Alright, alright," Coach Villiers said, dusting off the dirt from his clothes as he came through the door. "Time to send you guys to the office."

Hayner's mouth went agape in shock. "Did you really just bust down the door?" He asked, just imagining the incident seemed surreal.

"How else do you think I got through?" The coach grinned, feeling accomplished in himself.

'Are you fucking serious…' Hayner thought, still caught in amazement.

"Tchk!" Riku threw down Sora's hand, turning away.

"Escort them," The coach began to walk down the hall. "I'll see you guys after school." He said to his Blitz players.

"Great," Selphie frowned. "You guys interrupted us and now we have to stay after school."

Kairi nervously smiled, feeling Selphie let go of her wrist. "Do you guys really have to take us to the office? I mean there are so many other options we could-"

"Shut it, you're going." Riku lead the way, the others following behind him. The office was a scary place for the group of friends. Only Axel has ever been there and he said the disciplinary guy, Mr Xemnas Nomura, was way too creepy for his own good.

The opened the door, the waiting area facing them. Sora could already feel his skin begin to chill from the eerie feeling within the air. "Guys…" he gulped, standing near the door as he watched his friends occupy the empty chairs. He felt a hand push him further into the waiting room, making him almost trip over his feet but he caught himself before his plummet.

The hand was from Riku who was grinning behind him. "Have fun." He heard him say. Selphie stuck her tongue out at Sora and his friends, making a face as her and her friends left the room.

The door shut. "W-we need to get out of here!" Hayner stood, taking leader of the group. He heard a knock from the other side of the door.

"Don't think about it." Wakka's voice muffled through the door.

"We'll be fine~." Axel stretched, slumping in his chair with his hands behind his head.

"I can't let this appear on my record!" Olette whispered. Kairi frowned next to her, she herself thinking the same thing.

"There's no way out of here unless through that door." Roxas stated, his voice in whisper, pointing at the door that was obviously being dog guarded by Riku and co.

Sora sighed, slumping over in his chair. "We're doomed. This is the worst day of my life. I can't live on."

Hayner began to vigorously shake Sora out of his state of sudden depression and gloom. "Snap out of it man! We can do this!"

Just then they heard the sound of something metal fall onto the ground. "Guys, look!" Pence smiled. They all looked over to him kneeling on the floor, wondering when it was that he actually got out of his chair. He was putting a screwdriver back in his uniform pocket, the screws twirling on the floor. What he had unscrewed was the covering of a vent.

"Do you really expect us to fit in that?" Axel asked him, eyeing the size of the vent.

"Axel, you're the size of a stick." Roxas said.

"I know but Pence can't fit." Axel retorted, realizing afterwards that what he said could've probably been offensive to the pudgy boy.

"It's alright guys," Pence stood. "I'll be the one to get in trouble. I've always wanted to see the disciplinary for myself."

The group went in close to the vent opening. Sora nodded at them all, everyone understanding that that meant he was going to go in first. He got down on all fours and crawled into the small area. Roxas followed next, then Axel.

"Ladies first." Hayner said, his hands motioning towards the vent.

Kairi and Olette pursed their lips. "We're wearing skirts," Olette explained. "So ladies last!"

"O-oh, right!" Hayner nervously smiled, ducking down into the vent. Kairi was the last to go in, Pence whispering his good byes to his friends.

"I hope this leads somewhere good." Axel said, his voice echoing through the vents.
