The rest of Jenna's story...
SUMMARY:
Axel is the typical "cool guy", that Roxas can't stand. What if Axel is suddenly interested in him...? AU HighSchool, yaoi, AxelxRoxas, LeonXSeifer
“There you are! I've been looking all over for you! It seems as though you're disappearing a lot lately...” Namine said, grabbing Roxas by the hand and pulling him through the crowd of people to their groups' own personal table. They were all sitting there, a big pizza box in the middle of the table. Sora was busy texting on his phone, while the others were all chatting amongst themselves. When the two approached, Hayner moved over to give them room.
“Where were you? Lunch is almost over!” Hayner informed the still grumpy Roxas.
“I had to stay after class for something,”
Hayner raised an unconvinced brow. “Oh, really? I doubt that, but we saved you some pizza! You're lucky, cause Kairi's fat ass almost ate it all!” he joked, nudging the girl with his elbow.
“Shut up, I only had one piece!” she said, lightly pushing the boy.
“Eh, I'm not really hungry. But...” Roxas reached over the table and snatched Sora's phone from him.
“Hey! Roxas, give that back!” Came the indignant cry from the brunette.
Roxas looked at the unfinished text, reading to who it would be sent to. Riku. Figures.
“So what did you do Saturday night, Sora?” Roxas asked, continuing to look at all the other text messages on Sora's phone.
“I was with Riku. Why?” he asked, trying to play it cool. “Can I have my phone back, please?”
Roxas passed him his phone. “I heard you got drunk this weekend with your boyfriend,” He almost laughed when the others all gasped in unison. Sora instantly blushed, and began to look nervous.
“Oh...about that...”
“Yeah, about that! Sora, you promised you would never do anything like that!” Kairi stood up angrily.
“I know! I shouldn't have, but...it was a party, and I couldn't make Riku look bad in front of his friends, so-...”
“You don't have to prove yourself in front of those jerks! Riku should just accept you for who you are, and not pressure you into something you don't want to do!” Kairi continued.
Sora laughed nervously. “Well, the thing is...I actually wanted to get drunk with him,” he admitted, flinching away from the girl, expecting her to hit him.
“You-...you actually wanted to get drunk? I can't believe you, Sora!” Kairi instantly turned on her heel, and stormed away from their group, Namine hot on her tail.
Sora sighed. “I know I said I never would, but...it was tempting,” he shrugged, finishing his text.
“How come you never wanted to get drunk with us?” Hayner asked.
“Yeah, it kinda hurt when Cloud told me you were drinking with them. I mean, you've never even had a drink with us,” Roxas agreed.
“Because we're just so much more fun!” Roxas winced upon hearing that voice. Great. The assholes had to come just now. This was one of the many other reasons Roxas hated Sora dating Riku. The entire group, except for Sephiroth, had all come up behind Hayner and Roxas. Sora stood, moving to give his boyfriend a hug.
“You're still pissed off about that?” Riku asked Roxas, still holding Sora in his arms.
“I could care less. I just wanted to know if it were true,” Roxas stood, getting ready to leave. He didn't want to stay around if Riku and his friends were going to be here.
“Where you going, Roxy? We just got here,” Axel asked, wrapping his arm around Roxas' shoulders, pulling him to sit down at the table again.
“I have better shit to be doing then hang around with all of you,” he muttered, glaring at Axel. Why was this jerk even touching him? And...Roxy? What the fuck?
“Hey, hey, play nice. We only came to hang out until our next class. I mean...we both have the same one, right? So what's the difference if you leave or stay? I'll be seeing you next hour, anyways,”
“Exactly, so I have someth-...”
“Just stay,”
Roxas was beyond confused now. He wasn't sure what Axel was trying to pull. This was probably the most they had ever talked, and it was starting to take a turn for the worst. This was...odd.
Hayner, who had been practically shunned out of the group, stood up and waved silently to Roxas before leaving the two alone with the seniors. Roxas could only give him a helpless look as his friend left.
The others sat down around the table as well, Riku and Sora taking up their own bench. Cloud had taken a seat next to Roxas, and Leon just sat in his own chair, arms crossed, turned slightly away from the table.
“Where did Sephiroth go?” Sora asked, suddenly noticing the tall, silver haired jock was not with them.
“Oh, he's doing some extra training in the weight room. You know him. That's all he ever does,” Cloud laughed.
“He just wants to show off some more, that's all,” Riku said, rolling his eyes. “He knows all the girls stare at him. He's like a fucking celebrity when it comes to that,”
“I don't know. I actually think Axel has him beat on that,” Cloud said, looking to the redhead, who had a smirk on his face.
“Nah...” Axel waved him off.
“I think so, too. There are more girls after you then all of us put together,” Riku commented, shaking his head. “It's like you're Brad Pitt or something!”
“I think its only because he's different. He's like...the rebel,” Cloud said, taking a drink of his coke that he had brought with him.
“I don't know. Leon seems to have me beat on that. He doesn't say much, and I think that makes him rebellious,” Axel laughed, looking to his quiet friend.
Leon raised a brow, finally acknowleding the group. “I think it's only because you're a big mouth that has a lot to brag about,” Leon said calmly, though still indifferently.
The others laughed, all nodding in agreement.
“That's for sure. You constantly brag about something that the rest of us wish we had. I mean, its not like many high school kids can say they live in their own apartment,” Riku said, hugging Sora closer to him.
Axel shrugged, the smirk still completely evident on his face. “What can I say? I'm a big hit! But not everyone likes me,” Axel looked to Roxas. “Right, Roxy?”
“Would you quit calling me that?” Roxas said through gritted teeth.
“What, you don't like that nickname?” Axel asked, smiling at the blond.
“No! That's a girl's name!” he shouted.
“Woah, calm down, killer. I think it's cute,”
Roxas was about to say something about that, but wasn't even sure how to reply to it. It was...cute? Where the hell was all this coming from?! His train of thought was then interupted by Riku.
“Are you coming over today, Sora?” Riku asked, running his hands through the brunette's hair. Sora looked from Roxas to Riku, then back to Roxas.
“Uhh...actually, I have something planned. Roxas and I were going to watch a movie at my house,” Sora explained, hoping to not disappoint his boyfriend.
Riku frowned, biting his lip for a second. “Oh...”
“Why don't you guys just come over and watch it at my house? You won't have to worry about parents or anything like that. That way you two can be together,” Axel nodded to Riku and Sora. “And then we'll all be happy,” Axel suggested, winking at Roxas.
“There's no way in hell I'm going over to your house,” Roxas growled, standing. “I have to go,”
Without even looking back, Roxas left the table, feeling completely confused and angry.
What the fuck was Axel playing at...? Why was he all of a sudden...acting this way...?
Seifer entered the classroom, throwing his books on the desk, sitting down, and propping his feet up against the seat in front of him. He was there early, so no one was in the room. He hadn't done his homework for the class, but Fu and Rai wanted to go to their own classes, so he had no choice, unless he wanted to hang out by himself.
He pulled out a pack of Juicy Fruit, and popped a piece into his mouth, chewing it slowly, despite the large sign hanging on the chalk board the teacher had made, that stated boldly: NO GUM CHEWING. He blew a few bubbles, popping the gum obnoxiously before lazily flipping the book open to the page that was due as homework. He quickly skimmed over it, learning as much of the material as he could before the class started. He was glad it was only a literature class, so the homework was only reading.
He nearly jumped when Hayner entered the classroom, sighing loudly. Seifer raised a brow at the blond, who made his way over to Seifer.
“Can you move your feet?” Hayner asked calmly. Seifer snapped his gum in annoyance but complied with his request.
“What's your problem?” Seifer asked, though really not caring in the least. Hayner sat down, throwing his books down on the desk in the same manner Seifer had only moments ago.
“What's it to you?”
“Just wondering. I mean, not many people just barge in a classroom, throwing things around for no reason,” Seifer shrugged, closing the book. “Did you read the homework?” he asked.
“Yeah. Didn't you? It was only three chapters,” Hayner opened his own book to the pages they were told to read.
Seifer snorted. “What do you think? I had better things to do,”
“You're gonna fail this class. Friday and today are the only days you've shown up to in a while. I mean, the least you could have done was do the homework, dumbass,” Hayner informed him, turning around in his chair to face Seifer.
Seifer rolled his eyes. “Thanks for the info, chickenwuss, I'll have my secretary file that away with things I already know,”
“I'm just saying. It's never too late. I'm sure even someone with your intelligence can get their grade up to passing,”
“Shut the fuck up, what do you know about it? It's not my fault I have a life outside this fucking school,”
“Are you saying I don't?” Hayner asked, raising a brow.
“That's exactly what I'm saying!”
“This is a reading class, idiot, it doesn't take a genius to read a few pages and be done with it. You'd still have time to do whatever you want,” Hayner said, looking around, noticing a few more kids starting to pile in, a dull murmur surrounding the two.
“Whatever. Just turn around, be a good little boy and mind your own business,” Seifer snapped, crossing his arms over his chest. Hayner shrugged, turning back around just as the teacher walked in.
The bell rang, and the class got quiet, waiting for instruction from the teacher.
“Good afternoon, class! Mr. Almasy, good of you to join us for the second day running!” the teacher said, smiling. “This is a reading class, as you know, so I'm sure you can read the bold words up here on the chalk board and spit out that gum,” he said.
Seifer rolled his eyes, sighing, and got up, walking to the trash can to spit out his gum.
“I hope you all did your homework, since we will be having a discussion this afternoon about the chapters that were assigned to you...”
Seifer took his seat, tuning out the teacher as the rest of the class had their little discussion. He wished he just went home for the day and didn't even bother showing up. It really was pointless, he realized, though he knew Hayner was right. Perhaps he could get his grades up if he tried hard enough.
“Seifer. Can you read the next part?” the teacher asked, causing the blond to jump and loose his train of thought.
“Uhh...” he managed to get out, quickly flipping through his book to the right page, while the rest of the class snickered.
Hayner turned around and took the book from him and found the right page, handing it back to Seifer, pointing out where to start reading. Seifer glared at him, snatching the book from him, annoyed that the runt had to help him. He read the instructed piece, muttering each part in aloofness.
“Thank you, Seifer. Perhaps next time you should pay attention,”
The rest of the class lulled on, Seifer randomly getting called on to read when the teacher noticed his distance glances.
“Alright. Since we just finished up this book, I want to introduce a new project that you will be working on with partners!” The class instantly began to talk, picking their partners from across the room. “I, however, have already taken the liberty to pick your partners. I have the list up here. Make sure you look at who your partner is, and what book you will be presenting,” the teacher taped a piece of paper with the information to the chalkboard. “I suggest you get to work on this right away, since I will be giving you limited amount of class time to do this. You and your partner will read the book and present the information I am providing you. This grade will be worth fifty percent of your final grade in this class, so I suggest you do good work,” he told the class, passing out the papers with everything they needed to know upon completing their reports. “Its due in two weeks. It shall be typed, in 12 point font, double spaced, and completely revised, so no mistakes! Any questions?” he asked the class, a large smile on his face that anyone could consider sadistic. There was a dull groan from the class, but no one raised their hands.
“Excellent! I'll see you all tomorrow! Have a good evening!” With that said, the teacher left the classroom, coffee cup in hand. The entire class crowded to look to see who their partners were, and see what book they would have to be reporting on. Seifer stayed back, waiting for the line to go down, not really caring either way.
When Hayner got there, his spirits instantly dropped as soon as he saw Seifer's name next to his, along with the book “Grapes of Wrath” following it.
“Shit...” he muttered.
“I take it I'm stuck with you, huh?” Seifer asked from behind him, lightly chuckling.
“Yeah, no shit,” Hayner sighed, turning to the other blond. “You better not make me chase you down to do this crap! You're going to help me with it! Starting today!” Hayner ordered, leaving no room for argument.
“I know, I know. It'll help my grade, anyways, so I won't flake out on you. Just...not today,”
“It'll be today. After school. Four 'O Clock. Library. Be there,” Hayner demanded, leaving.
Seifer laughed. “Whatever you say, then...”
