Sora x Roxas Highschool II

Chapter 4

The next day the groups were at the first stage of their work which was the general planning of the whole project. Roxas and his group were working diligently on their project as well as Sora and his group...well most of them.

"Hey Esmerelda...go spill this on Hero boy's plan," Xion whispered, holding out a canister to the girl.

"How about...no." She responded, lightly glaring, "Do you know how much trouble we'll all get into, Xion?"

"If Zira catches you, I'll handle it!" Xion guaranteed, flashing a devious smile and pushing the canister into Esmerelda's face.

"I said no Xion...if I fail this class I won't be able to get into Notre Dame University and I won't let you take that from me!"

"If you do it, I can give you an easy A," she chided, "I know Zira's son Kovu really well and might be able to put in a good word for you...you know if you do this thing for me."

Esmerelda bit her lip, "I-I don't know. What does the rest of the team think about this?"

"Them? Oh they got jobs too, just not for today. Anyway the less people know the better, right? Go!" she said, she knew she was breaking the poor girl and felt damn proud about it.

"Well... alright." Esmerelda sighed, taking the container, "Oh God help me." She swaggered to Hercules's table where he seemed to be too busy talking to Phil while the other two were actually working. Esmerela hummed a song loudly, adding a little swish and swirl of her skirt effectively catching Phil's eye.

Esmerelda smiled, sitting at the desk, "Hey boys," she greeted sitting the canister down, "How're things goin?"

"Great, how about you guys?" Aladdin responded, smiling warmly.

"Oh we're alright, hey listen you guys don't mind if I sit here for a bit...I'm awful tired of hearing Sora and Xion cry about everything and...whoops sorry!" she apologized, her acting impeccable as she spilled the coffee onto all their plans, "I'm soooo sorry! Please I-"

Aladdin sighed, "It's okay...we'll fix it Esmerelda."

Esmerelda bit her lip and walked back to the table, "I did what you said, Xion. Now what?"

Xion smiled, "Now you do your work! You've done our bit for today, you can go ahead and rest. We'll deal with everything!" She nodded and began sketching again.

"Hey Peter," Xion whispered to him next, "Go mess with Namine."

"What? That's not very nice Xion," Hmphed Peter Pan.

"I don't care just do it! From what I hear you could use that pass from Maleficent."

Peter gaped at her before nodding, "Alright...I'll do it once but no more, alright?"

"Fine whatever, just go!"

Peter walked nonchalantly over to their group table, whistling a merry tune. He stopped in front of the blonde girl, waiting for her to look up at him.

"Yes Peter?" she asked, glancing away from Axel.

"Hey Naminè, I just wanted to say how I think you guys are totally gonna win this!" he exclaimed, smiling almost as brightly as Sora.

"Oh really?"

"Yup! Though...I think your design could use some work," he suddenly commented, swiping Naminè pen and began furiously scribbling on their designs.

"Hey...Peter! Stop it!" Axel and Naminè yelled after Peter had scribbled out a few of their good ideas.

"Oh sorry guys," he apologized sheepishly, "I'll just go now."

Axel face-palmed, "Yeah just go."

Peter sat back down, "Done."

"Good...yes good." She whispered, patting Peter's hand.

"Are we gonna do anything with that Roxas's team?" he asked.

Xion smirked, "Oh I have something planned, and planned well for that! Just you wait." She glanced at Sora who had not heard one word exchanged between her and the other two.



"Hey Sora," Roxas said as the two sat out front, "you didn't have anything to do with whatever happened in Art did you?"

Sora looked at him confusedly, "No...why?"

"Well...okay...if you say so," he sighed, he let his head drop onto Sora's lap. He felt a bit uneasy about this whole project; mostly about Sora's team, "You're not...taking this too seriously are you, Sora?"

The brunette stared at his boyfriend intently, "What are you trying to say, Rox? That I planned the coffee and Peter's mishap?"

Roxas stared back up speechless, his boyfriend looked rather frustrated, "I didn't mean anything by it! Calm down Sor... I was just a bit worried."

Sora sighed and hugged Roxas's head to him, "I'm sorry Rox, I'm not doing anything alright?"



Roxas hugged him back but thought, "You might not be doing anything now...but I feel something is going to happen."
