"-individuals alternate between states of deep depression and mania. While depression is characterized by-"
Professor Tribal, the science teacher at Twilight High was the most boring teacher in the whole high school. Any student would agree. Something else all students would agree on was, never get on his bad side. He wasn't the type of teacher to yell, per se, he was the one that could make you pee yourself with a glance. Yeah, that teacher.
As for students, the one face down on his desk in a puddle of his own drool would be the hero of this story. Yup, that blond-haired, blue-eyed, little miscreant was our hero. Roxas.
Sadly for our hero, he was about to get a lesson other then science from Professor Tribal, "Rockas?"
A yawn, an upward glance is all it took to see the fury in those green eyes, "O-oh Mr. Tribal…how nice to see you today…" A nervous chuckle from Roxas gave the Professor an evil smile.
"How nice of you to join us today rockas." Tribal always said his name wrong, "Would you mind telling myself, and the rest of your class, what it means to be Bi-Polar?"
Roxas wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Great, drooling again.
'Bi-polar? Why would I ever need to know that?'
"U-umm…well isn't that like…crazy people doing…crazy things?" Roxas really hoped he was right on this one.
With a sigh the Professor returned to his desk, took a pink sheet from it, wrote on it, then handed it to Roxas, "You know where to go…" As Roxas stood and gathered his stuff, the Professor whispered into his ear, "Twenty minutes into class and your sent out. What kind of example is that for the other children? You are the oldest here right? You ought to try and sent better examples…" With another evil smile, he added, "Oh, and happy Monday."

'Oh big deal, he's crazy anyway. I don't care about passing his class.'
Roxas wondered if he talked to himself to much, but before he could process that thought he caught the name on the 'time out' slip he got.
"Vexen!? That's his first name!? " He burst out laughing, "What kind of name is that!?"
With that he heard the Professor call, "Two weeks after school rockas."

Ok so 'time out', really isn't that bad. Defiantly better then Tribal's class.
Only down side is Roxas didn't get to sleep in 'time out', but he could draw.
Roxas loved drawing over any other passion.
He once tried writing, swimming, guitar, even sports.
He failed miserably at every one of them. Until he found drawing. Painting in particular.
Since there was no canvas around, he drew, things he wanted to paint when he got home.
Roxas often drew pictures of someone he sees in his dreams, and only in his dreams.
His mother.
Aeris Strife, wife to Cloud Strife, daughter of Adelbert and Rose Steiner.
Adelbert and Rose met during the destruction of their home towns and settled in Twilight Town, where they raised a beautiful daughter, Aeris. But we are getting far to into another story.
Roxas lost his mother at birth. It was much to hard on her frail body, and it ultimately killed her.

Cloud, Roxas' father, was so crushed by this, his mental condition suffered. Raising Roxas the only way he knew how, like his father raised him. Well lets put it this way, Cloud is still trying to make it up to Roxas about how he treated him as a child.
Seeing as Roxas is only fifteen, he has no source of income, so Cloud must run the household and pay all the bills.
Which is why they live in a crappy, rundown, little apartment.
Two bedrooms, one small bathroom, a kitchen, and a living space. That was it.
Its much smaller then it sounds.

So back to 'time out'.
Sitting with Roxas was a boy he liked to call his 'best friend'. Yeah, because we all know 'best friends' beat your lunch money out of you and spread nasty rumors behind your back. Real friendly, no?
Roxas was shy and seeing as this boy was the only one to ever talk to him, regardless it was mostly demands of him doing this or giving him that, he dubbed him his 'best friend'.
Hayner Orunitia.
Brown hair, brown eyes, cameo clothing. Average bully.
Roxas didn't see it that way. He was always picked on, at least this one was consistent. So that makes him your friend. And if you only have one friend, they have to be the best…Right?

"Hey, Rocky, give me some lunch money, I left mine at home." Hayner persisted.
Letting out a deep sigh, not looking up from his paper, Roxas informed, "If I give it to you, I wont get to eat. Dad says I'm to skinny anyway. He wont be happy knowing I gave away all the hard earned money he…earned…"

"NO talking Roxas! You to Hayner!" Screamed the ever so eloquent Larxene Carol, the 'time out lady', as she was called. No one knew what her real job was but…No one wanted to ask either. She was scary.

Lowering his voice, Hayner smiled, "Then don't tell him you gave it away. Just lie. Its not that bad. I do it all the time."
Roxas finally looked up from his paper, "Is it any wonder you in 'time out' all the time? Maybe you need to get better at lying before you preach it to someone else."

"OKAY that's it!" Mrs. Carol stomped over between the Roxas' and Hayner's desks, "What is soooo important, you just have to talk about it right now?"

Roxas spoke in barely a whisper, "He's trying to take my lunch money again…"

Slamming her hands on the desk, Larxene barked, "Well be a man and say no! Now STOP TALKING." She returned to her romance book and desk.

No one knew why she liked her romance books so much. Or why she was Mrs. Carol, seeing as she wasn't, and has never been married.

'Psychos…schools full of them'
Roxas laughed as his own thoughts, receiving another glare from Mrs. Carol.

After three more classes, Roxas headed for lunch, his least favorite part of the day, after waking up of course.
Quickly he bought lunch, making sure it was something Hayner hated so he wouldn't take it, and sat down at a table far from everyone.
As he began to eat, a blond girl with blue eyes and a girl with blue eyes and dark red-brown hair sat with him.
The blond spoke, "Would you mind leaving? Me and Kairi want to eat here."
Looking up in shock, Roxas couldn't believe someone talked to him, "I..I can't eat with you?"
The girls shook their heads in unison, and Roxas left.

Finding an empty area in the court yard, Roxas sat under a tree for shade and ate in peace.
Sure he liked company sometimes, but most of the time he liked being lonely.
Wait, can you like being lonely? Someone should look into that…

'I should really come here more often. Its nice. I like the shade.'Second favorite time of the day. Going home. Roxas didn't really like walking by himself a mile to his apartment, but he didn't have to be in school anymore. Bittersweet. At least that's what he thought. Returning home today wouldn't be as great as every other day but, that my friend, is far to ahead of our story.

Room 13, floor B. This was his lovely little abode. Cramped, messy, with a slight smell of mold in the air, yeah, it was his house alright. Clouds not the best housekeeper.

Roxas dropped his bag onto the floor, and plopped himself onto the couch. Another thing that smelled like mold. Well more like mildew. He wasn't sure really, he had better things to do then to try and figure out the difference between mold and mildew.
More like he would like to think he had better things to do. He didn't.

"Oh Roxas! Daddy has a surprise for you!!" Cloud called from his bed room.

'Oh boy, new socks…'

"Ta-da!" Cloud pulled out a full length, puke green, musty old mirror, "I got it for your room! I'm going to go and put it in there right away!"
And he was off.

Talking to himself, as he does most of the day, Roxas cringed, "A…Mirror? WHY? Ugh, he hates me, I know it…Don't we have better things to use that munn-"
"Come here Roxas!! Come look!! Quick!!"
Rising to his feet, slower then 'quick' as his dad implied, Roxas made his way into his bedroom, only to see the puke green mirror hung next to his bed.
"See?" Cloud showed off his hard work, "This way you can see your pretty little self the first thing you wake up!"
He threw a rag and some cleaning stuff at Roxas, "Now, clean it off and lets have a look how nice it makes everything!"

As Cloud left, Roxas sighed and began to clean.

'Yeah, I wanna see myself in this thing everyday, first thing…He must be as crazy as-'
"Vexen?"
"What?" Roxas spoke aloud, "Did…Did the voice in my head just finish my sentence for me? That's new…"
Still cleaning, Roxas dismissed it as the fumes. Nothing more. He wasn't crazy.
Was he?

"There! All done." Smiling at his own work, Roxas called to his father, "Hey dad! I'm done! It doesn't look half bad either!!"

Cloud promptly rushed in, grabbed his son and pulled him in for a hug, in front of the new, now clean, mirror.

Roxas stared into the reflection, wearily he asked, "Dad…Where did you get this anyway?"
Cloud smiled even bigger, "Garage sale, free! Can you believe it!? I knew how much you wanted one and-"
Roxas stopped listening to his father, he stared vividly into the mirror.

'Have my eyes always had a tint of green?'

More notes: I know what your thinking, 'oh no, scary green eyes'. Just wait. ;) You will see.
Anyway please review!! It would make me soooo happy. ^_^ And you wanna make me happy don't you? Please and thank you!
