Adopted

Chapter 4

                Mrs. Larxene scowled at her English class, “Okay sit down you little… I’m doing the roll!”

                Sora and Ventus sat down next to each other, chatting quietly enough to not be heard by the loud witch at the front.

                “Aladdin Anadrin?”

                “Here!”

                “John Clayton?”

                “Yes my dear.”

                “Don’t call me that… Sora Fair?”

                “Yup!”

                “Jim Hawkins?”

                “Yes.”

                “Ventus Hikari?”

                “Here!”

                “Kim Possible?”

                “Yes ma’am.”

                “Jack Skellington?”

                “Yes sir!”

                “Excuse me Mr. Skellington. Now, Roxas Strife?”

                Silence

                “Roxas Strife? No? Well then Ro-”

                “Wait! Wait I’m here!” someone called out as they barged into the English room panting, “I’m sorry I’m late, my brother took a while to drive me here an-”

                “Mr. Strife just sit down.”

                The boy Roxas gulped and nodded his head. He sat next to Sora who seemed to look away with a red tint. Ventus smiled mischievously.

                Once the roll call was done and a lesson was taught for the day, Sora separated to his math class while Ventus walked along to history, on the way meeting up with Roxas.

                Ventus ran up to the boy, “Hey…Roxas was it?”

                Roxas looked at Ven, noticing how similar they look, “Umm yeah…hi. You’re Ventus right?”

                “Yup! Say…you look a lot like me,” Ven said taking in all the physical aspects of the boy, “We’re not related, right?” He chuckled to show it was a joke, what were the chances of running into the mystery brother, right?

                Roxas nodded, “So what class do you have next, Ven?”

                “I have history with Mr. Axel.”

                “Hey me too! Do you wanna sit with me?”

                Ventus smiled, “Of course! Let’s go twin o’ mine!” Two two shared a close laugh, striding towards History.

               

                “Alright, now that we’ve done the roll…I can assume all of you are ready to begin?” Mr. Axel said, gazing at his class room.

                “Umm Mr. Axel?” Roxas raised his hand, “I don’t have a textbook.”

                The red headed teacher sighed, “Okay, just share with Ventus.”

                Roxas nodded as Ven pushed his book so that the two could share, “Now all of you turn to page 45, and copy along as I write our main subjects this semester.”

                Everyone took out a notebook and a pencil and began trying to catch up to Mr. Axel’s insanely quick writing. Ventus looked over at Roxas, “Hey Rox, how long have you lived here?”

                Roxas finished his paragraph before replying, “Umm… I don’t know. Practically my whole life! My mom said I wasn’t born here though…but oh well. It doesn’t matter, hey Ven do you have a sharpener?”

                Ven nodded and handed him the tool, “Do you know Sora?”

                “Yeah I do…though not personally. Like we’d say hi to each other here or there but every time I talk to him he just turns away.” He said, looking a little down.

                “That doesn’t sound like the Sora I met…hmm how about I talk to him about it?”

                Roxas looked up with a happily surprised expression, “Wow you would really do that? I mean…sure why not? It’d be great to have friends that are in the same year level.”

                “Wait so who do you hang out with?"

                "Hayner, Pence and Olette up in junior year! They’re my best friends, I’d love to show you them sometime!”

                Ven liked Roxas, he was perky, shy a times and reminded him of Sora a lot, “Hey, you introduce me to your friends and I’ll introduce you to Sora…deal?”

                Roxas handed back his sharpener and smiled, “Deal!”
