Xemnas always hated the start of a new school year. Mainly the students talking loudly about their summer vacation, which was somewhat pointless seeing as half of them spent the summer with each other. In about a week the conversations of the long days of summer will fade and be replaced with groans of having to do homework, gossip over who's dating who, pleas to be allowed to copy a friend's homework, and the cheering of football games.

These weren't the reasons Xemnas disliked a new school year it was the hypotheses he made at the start of the year that always turned out to be true. The lockers outside his room will soon have inappropriate drawings of penises, students will skip class to do some type of drug or have sex. All the students in his class would never do their work, fail all his labs, and never get a grade above a D. At least, not with his way of running a classroom.

Though, this year might just be better than his past three years of teaching. Before Xemnas had been teaching at Traverse High and every day he had to worry over which student was going to start a school shooting, hold him at knife point, who had a bomb in their locker, and watching the police go through every locker, desk, bathroom, and office twice a week. Everyone was checked, both the students and the staff.

This year was going to be better. His friend since his elementary school days, Aqua, was able to get him a better job at Destiny High. This school had much more class, better location, and the science scores here were far better than those at Traverse High. This was good, seeing as he did spend his collage years getting a Masters Degree in Chemistry.

"Knock, knock Xem." A sigh escaped Xemnas's parted lips as he looked over to his classroom door, not surprised to see that the owner of the soft voice was Aqua. The bluenette smiled as she entered, shaking her head at the lack of personalization in the class. "Looking mighty professional, but I expected some more...Xemmy flavor." She said, commenting on shined shoes, clean pants, and a lab coat he was wearing.

"Aqua, you didn't honestly expect me to put stuff up when I have no indication that it will still be there when I turn around." Xemnas said giving his old friend a smile. She was dressed in a simple black skirt with a blue beaded star at the bottom and a dark blue blouse.

"This school's different. All the kids are great; they just are different in ways." Aqua said walking between the tables that would be the students' tables. The silver haired man shook his head while standing out of his rolling chair.

"But the difference between us is that you like kids." He said before glancing at the clock hanging above the Periodic Table of Elements.

"You wouldn't be a teacher if you didn't somewhat like children, Xemnas." The orange eyed man turned, jumping at seeing Aqua so close. She laughed and smiled as Xemnas blushed in embarrassment.

"Don't do that Aqua." He said while running a hand through his hair. "Any way, why hasn't school started? All the students are out in halls talking and the bell hasn't rang yet."

"On the first day of school we allow the students ten minutes to socialize before the actual school day. School doesn't start until seven thirty-five." The bluenette said, the bell blaring out a few seconds after she finished talking. Aqua gave Xemnas a smile as she started to leave. "First period Creative Writing, don't want to be late." Xemnas sent the English teacher a smile which quickly faded as the students started to pile in for first period Chemistry.

"You're being too harsh on them; it's only the first day of school." Aqua said as she sat in the teachers' lounge with her planner in her lap. Apparently the large fluffy red chair was Aqua's and hers alone. Xemnas laid on the leather couch. It seemed like they were the only two teachers who had seventh period off.

"They are. The Chemistry two students don't even know what the Lewis Dot Structure is or how to do the electron configuration. How they get into that class without knowing what those are or how to do them, I have no idea." the silver haired teacher said then took a bite out of his apple. He turned his head to look at the bluenette with a serious look. "Who was the Chemistry teacher here before me? I swear they are an idiot."

"I think his name was Hojo. He was a bit messed up in the head. The whole reason behind him getting fired was because he was trying to experiment on his students. Now he's spending time at this asylum in Gotham." Aqua said as she wrote in her class planner. Xemnas rolled his eyes as he stared up at ceiling. Some people could be seriously messed up. Just as Xemnas was starting to relax the bell rang out for what seemed like hours.

"Chemistry with idiots again..." He said as he got off the leather couch. Aqua shook her head as she two stood.

"At least give eighth period a chance. Don't flat out judge them as idiots, for me?" She added. Xemnas groaned, every time she added 'for me?' to any sentence he always did whatever she wanted. That's how he ended up going into the woods at night to find her dog when they were teens and into the basement to find her doll when they were younger.

"Fine." He mumbled before leaving a smiling Aqua behind.

Eighth period Chemistry was a very small class, only eight students. Xemnas mentally noted where everyone sat and who they sat with, it normally spoke volumes for a person based on where they sat. Further to the back meant they were the loners, in the front closest to the board is where the ones who wanted to learn sat, closest to the door were the lazy ones, and in the middle were normally the talkers. Of course they are always exception to the rules.

"When I call your name say here. Fuu,"

"Here."

"Hayner,"

"Right here!"

"Kairi,"

"Present."

"Olette,"

"Here."

"Roxas,"

"Here."

"Seifer...Seifer?" Xemnas looked up from his attendance sheet and glared at the blond with his feet on the table. His beanie hat has pulled over his eyes and the slow rise and fall of his chest gave away the fact he was asleep. All the other students watched as their teacher grabed a yard stick from one of the seven lab tables in his room. Fuu, who was sitting across from Seifer, braced herself as Xemnas slammed the yard stick right next to Seifer's leg. Everyone jumped at how loud the smack was, but Seifer let out an embarrassing yelp as he fell backwards on the chair.

"What the hell man!" The blond said before looking up. The teen paled slightly at seeing Xemnas's orange eyes glaring at him while tapping the yard stick on the ground next to the fallen chair.

"Seifer, you've just earned yourself a lunch detention on the first day of school, congratulations. Now, in the future you'd be well advised to not lean in your chair, sleep in my class, or use my table as a leg rest." Xemnas said with a dark undertone. Even though he promised Aqua he'd give eighth period a chance but they were failing. As Seifer collected himself back into his chair Xemnas returned to his lab table to finish attendance.

"Sora,"

"Yo!"

"Xion."

"Here, sir." Xemnas took this moment to mark where everyone was. Kairi and Xion sat at the table closest to his desk and in perfect view of the entire classroom, both of them sat of the same side with their backs to the windows. Seifer and Fuu sat towards the back, near the closest where he stored the chemicals for the class. Fuu sat on the side of the desk that was the farthest away from Xemnas's desk and Seifer sat on the inside closer to the middle of the class. Hayner, Roxas, Sora, and Olette all sat together at the table in the center of the class. Roxas was seated next to Sora, across from Olette where Hayner sat across from Sora on the outside of the table, closest to the classroom door.

Where they sat seemed to fit what Xemnas guessed they would sit. He pushed his attendance sheet away on his lab table and uncapped his blue Expo marker. In his narrowed, neat penmanship he wrote 'Professor Xemnas' on the white board. He smiled to himself as he looked at the clean board, in Traverse High they had chalk boards and the students liked to carve permanent words and images into them.

"I don't go by my last name like most of your teachers here. I won't answer to mister, mister Xemnas, old man, or anything other than Professor Xemnas or sir. I'm here to teach you Chemistry, not to baby you through this class. I expect homework, class work, and the labs to be completed and turned in on time, no exceptions. I give no quizzes but I will test you over the material at the end of the chapters. Exams will be held one week before grades are needed for your report card and will count for more than half your grade. And before you ask I do not give out any extra credit assignments." Xemnas said and watched as Sora's hand fell, most likely going to ask about extra credit. The Chemistry teacher's eyes looked over the class then to the textbooks beside him.

It was music to his ears as some of the class groaned as he picked up the books and started to pass them out. As Xemnas handed the last one to Kairi he found out that he'd only have just enough time to get the numbers of their books and assign their work. The red head smiled up at him as she took the book from his hands.

"Thank you." That was a first; none of the others thanked him, especially for giving them the textbook. Xemnas mentally shrugged it off as he pulled out the book slip from his notebook.

"When I call your name tell me the number of your book. Fuu,"

"Thirty-eight."

"Hayner,"

"Twenty."

"Kairi,"

"One."

"Olette,"

"Thirty-three."

"Roxas,"

"Thirteen."

"Seifer,"

"Eight..."

"Sora,"

"Fifty-eight!"

"Xion."

"Fourteen." Xemnas wrote down the number of the book next to the student's name. He didn't care that the numbers were messed up and out of order as long as he got the books back at the end of the year it didn't matter.

"For your first homework assignment, read chapter one, lesson one and write down the vocabulary for the chapter and all the review questions." Again half the class groaned while others wrote down the first assignment of the year in their assignment books. Xemnas glared at the bell as it rang out, it seemed like it got longer the day went on. When he looked back to his class they had all left for the day. Just as he stood Xemnas noticed an agenda next to his desk. Already the students were forgetting their stuff. He bent down and picked it up. All he had to do was open it to found out whose it was but he decided that if they figured out it was missing they'd come and get it.

Xemnas threw the book over at his lab table. The book opened in flight and fell open to the first page, the name Kairi written inside. Of course all he heard was the flop of the agenda hitting the table as he put up chairs, even as he left the classroom he wouldn't bother to learn the name of the person who forgot it.

Lame ending Sam, lame, but meh...whatever. Written for kairiwilson1. I know the whole High School Kingdom Hearts thing is over used but I've never done one so I don't care. And zezu-chan, if you read this I know I said There's Always a Dead Man in the Road would be next after Deal With the Devil was finish but this has been itching to get written. To make up for it I'll get Medics Are Stupid out ASAP!
