Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axel smiled a little at Demyx. "Dude I'm so up for that"Axel said happily to Demyx before seeing Roxas walk up. He smiled a little hoping that he wasn't mad anymore, but as soon as he was completely ingored he got this depressed look on his face. Axel didn't know what Roxas effected him so much, other then the fact that Roxas is the only people that is has ever said he didn't want Axel, like at all. Even guys wanted to be Axel's friend just to be cool by association. Of course, Axel was really only friend's with Sora and Demyx because they were his friends when he wasn't cool and they are his friends now that he is cool. All three of them were pretty high up on the popularity bar, but it was the fact that they stuck together through it.

Axel's mind snapped out of the void of thought it fell into as soon as Sora shook him a little. "Hey Axel! Axel?"Sora said quite loud seeing as Axel had just fell into his empty shell looking depression the moment Roxas walked up and literally watched Roxas watch away without even realizing it because he was so lost in thought. "Axel, man, you okay?"Sora said a little worried now having snapped Axel out of his depressed trance. "Oh, yeah, Just got a little caught up in thought for a second, sorry"He said quickly to try and pretend like he didn't just do that. "So like I was saying..."Sora said giving Axel a bit of a weird look before starting up again, "I can probably come over Demyx, I just have to go home and clear it with auntie, Plus I have to tell her that Roxas isn't come home. Because Heaven forbid Roxas just turned up missing."Sora said stressing out the last line with a bit of annoyance. Sora's father left his mother when he was little, and his mother worked over seas, but so Sora didn't have to travel around so much, Sora lived with Roxas's family. And yes, Sora was very grateful, but his Auntie and Uncle were a little unfair. They treated Roxas like a prince let him do wantever he wanted, but they were strict on Sora because rather then making all A's like Roxas, Sora made low B's and maybe high C's. Sora really did try hard in school, he just wasn't the school type. He didn't focus very well. Not to mention, they always overreacted to everything. For example, Sora forgot to do his homework one time, and Roxas' parents saw it when they were checking their grades on the computer and flipped out. They grounded him for three weeks until his grade was at least a 88 in the that class even though it was a 84 with the zero.

Sora nodded happily to Roxas before jumping up and down a little. He was happy, he didn’t have to go home and deal with his aunt and uncle. “Let’s go” Sora said happily jumping and skipping to Demyx’s car with Axel and Demyx. Axel’s mood even got better just seeing Sora so happy. Sora had that effect on people. His happiness literally spread like wildfire through people. It took a lot not to be happy around Sora when he was happy. Once they got to Demyx’s car, Axel hopped into the passenger’s seat and Sora got into the back. “I’m good” Sora chirped from the back seat. “Oh, oh, oh, let’s go get something to eat, I’m starving” Axel input right after Sora. All three of them seeming to get pretty wound up just by the fact they were going to get to hang out tonight.

"McDonald’s please!" He yelled happily just before the music started to blare. Axel's first instinct was to sing along too practically at the top of his lungs as well. Sora tried to sing along too, but couldn't help to go into a fit of laughter when they passed a poor old woman and she nearly had a heart attack when they passed by. Of course they stayed up all night practically and blasted music keeping the neighbors up too. The effects on Axel and Sora not showing up until the next day though where they literally both passed out in their first... Second... and a little bit of a lunch too. It was pretty adorable at lunch though because they slept on each other. That, of course, only made girls and many cameras show up like flies to honey. Finally though the fun ended when the yearbook’s chief editor, Kairi, came up to them, She woke them up first of all, then told them about this photo-shoot that the school’s photography class was taking part in. Kairi was big into photography, and also in the class, so she wanted all three of them to participate in it. They were popular. If they were going to star in a photo-shoot, then it was more likely that those three were going to get the books that the class was making to sell. Of course, the three accepted Kairi and send her on her way thinking it would be no trouble because none of them were camera shy. Of course, it wasn’t about their part in the shoot that was the problem… It was you got wind of it later that week…

“Photo-shoot Hm?” Zexion asked picking up one of the flyers Kairi had made the next day. “Well, I think I know just the person I can ask a favor of just to make sure Axel doesn’t make to that shoot with that perfect face of his…”Zexion plotted out loud. Zexion had friends besides Roxas and Riku. Vexen and Lexaous, who were now his new best friends, told Zexion to get even with Axel because that fight was obvious just a way to get him away from Roxas, so he could turn him into one of him. Zexion smirked before running off to find the head jock of the football team.

Meanwhile, Axel had been doing exactly what Riku said, he gave Roxas his space and stayed out of trouble. In fact besides, that first night after sleeping at Demyx’s, he actually tried to pay more attention in class to impress Roxas. Roxas was smart and Axel wasn’t exactly that, so Axel thought it might help so show Roxas, he had potential. Axel, kind of, also liked the feeling he got when he got an A or a B rather than a F. “Demyx, Demyx, Demyx, Sora, Sora, Sora!” Axel called running up to them in a fit of excitement. “Look, I got an A on the test I study for last night! I think this is the first time I have gotten an A on a test since the sixth grade!” He cheered with magnitude of joy at himself. The best part though was Roxas was in his class and saw that he got an A, but Axel didn’t have to tell that to Demyx and Sora. “That’s Great Axel!” Sora said happily thinking about his own grades improving slowly over the past couple of days since he started calling Riku.

Sora smiled a little hearing Riku. "Hey"He said with a small smile before blushing at Demyx's 'Aww'. As soon as he blush died down a little, he turned back looking at Roxas escape with a blush across his face. He giggled a little before looking at Axel, who seemed to be mentally fighting the want to jump up and down in joy and happiness. Sora, unable to help himself, turned to Riku with a smile. "Thank you, you don't know how much that meant to him"Sora whispered happily trying to share his secret joy with Riku.

Axel smiled at Riku before glancing over at Roxas, but only for an instant just to check if Riku was lying. He wasn't it, and it really pleased Axel. Roxas was smiling! Over him! He couldn't believe it. Axel's mental high of joy literally lasted all day after that. He didn't think anything could bring him down especially since he had that photoshoot after school.... Sadly Axel was just in the calmness of the storm. The calmness of which you think are safe and it's finally over and things can only get better from there. Well, Things got worse much worse... Axel turned to Demyx. "Hey I'm going to go to my class early today, I have to ask Ms. Bell something"He told Demyx happily before hugging him good bye then doing the same thing for Sora. He waved by to Riku quickly as he hurried off to his class. Axel didn't think anything of it but as he was walking to class he noticed some jocks watching him as he passed by. Axel pulled his bookbag closer and hurried off faster. He couldn't get in any fights at least until the end of the month and those jerkoffs like to start fights with him for no reason.

Axel was already almost to class when he noticed there was more than his footstep around him, being a bit paranoid, he had to check, who was behind him without just looking back. So after a moment of thinking, he ‘dropped a pencil’ and went to get it while looking back. “You have to be kidding, not today” He mumbled a little to himself noticing there was a gang of jocks following him a little ways down the hall. He got up and when to bolt for his class room knowing if he could get inside he would be safe. Sadly today was not his day like he thought when he got to Ms. Bell’s room; he realized the door was locked. “********, ********, and ********” He mumbled a little trying to hurry down the hall to find another hiding spot, but by then the jocks realized he was trying to escape. Needless to say he didn’t get away, and he didn’t fight back, he couldn’t hurt Roxas again. “Have fun at your photo-shoot tonight Axel, Oops” One yelled before finally kicking him down the stairs. Axel stared up at the ceiling in a haze from getting his head bashed against the wall a couple times. There was about six of them all throwing punches and kicks, and Axel didn’t fight back at all because of Roxas. In his haze, he thought he heard Demyx… or maybe Sora… no… definitely Demyx. “Hey….”he mumbled a little looking over at the blonde burr. “I didn’t get to class…”he whispered in defeat before passing out. Of course, then the bell rang and kids came running into the building and just crowded both Demyx and Axel, screaming and yelling, in joy and in anger depending on the person. The jocks that did it nowhere to be found now.

The nurse about had a heart attack when the insanely frantic train stampeded into her office. “Why are you all in here?!” She yelled standing up in all the commotion seeing the beat up teen in one of the blonde’s arms. “OH DEAR!” She screamed running over, almost slipping in her heels, and getting Axel. She, with a little strain, put Axel down on the examination table. “All of you sit down on that bench” she said immediately after looking at Axel for a moment. “Riku, go to the office and tell them we have an emergency” She said point to Riku, who she knew because he was her aid last semester. “The rest of you start explaining starting with you” She said trying to keep a cool and organized head and trying to get the story before anything corrupted it, her hand pointing to Demyx to start.

Sora was in a mix of emotion. Why in the world would have not even tried to defend himself. Roxas didn’t like fighting, but if this is what not fighting meant for Axel then Roxas was going to see Axel dead before the world decide to wake up and see that Axel had changed didn’t fight anymore. Sora was crying but he couldn’t tell if it was because he was upset about Axel getting hurt or because Roxas pushed him not to fight so he didn’t even defend himself against bullies. Sora looked up pass the nurse looking at Axel’s beat up face. “I think I’m going to puke” He mumbled before running out of the room. Sora wasn’t one for violence either, especially blood, it made him queasy. The nurse frowned watching Sora running out. She stopped Riku when he went to follow. “Go to the office and get help first okay?” She told him sternly before letting him go watching him leave to. “Tell me everyone’s name, sadly I only know Riku’s” she told the two blondes softly looking at them with sorrow in her eyes at the situation.
