My name is Alexis holt and I'm 5ft 5. Anyway onto the story....

I woke up this morning to the sound of my alarm going off. Ahh I hate Mondays. However I do have 5 hours of school with mr Holland and I sit at the back because I don't really like talking very much. I get ready into a black flowy skirt and a lace up top, with 4ft tall black satin high heel boots. Then it's time to leave, I get to class and wait in line with my best friend Mia. Then mr Holland comes out and lets everyone in. Mr Holland, " so class today we have a new seating arrangement" oh god. Don't be put at the front, don't be put at the front. I told my self, but yet I got outed at the front. Suddenly... the day I was dreading had came, I got a message from my mum saying jack( my brother) had cancer again. I started to tear up and slouched myself in my chair and stuffed my head in my desk. "Alexis...ALEXIS" a voice said. I jump up with tears still in my eyes. "Yes sir...." He goes to say something but sees how upset I am and says " nothing don't worry. How about you stay behind and I need to talk to you at the end of class.." " ok...." I whisper
It comes to the end of class and everyone leave except me of corse.
As soon as everyone leaves I burst into tears and collapsed on the floor. It's was happening.. I couldn't breath. Mr Holland rushed over as quick as anything. " hey hey hey, it's okay it's okay.." he exclaimed quietly. He put my head on his chest as he was practically underneath me and started to sway calming me down. " shhhh shh it's okay it's okay... I'm here.... your not alone"
When I calmed down he looked into my eyes.. this was when I realised he had sparkles in his eyes... his deep dark brown eyes. " what's wrong alexis" " I- Um- my brother..." "your brother?" He asks calmly holding my hand for reassurance. " yeah my mum texted me and told me his cancer is back..." "ohh.... hold old is he?" " um he's um 7, he had cancer at 4 started to get over it at 5, it went at 6 and is now back at 7.."
" oh alexis I'm really sorry" he said tightening his grip on my hands. " it's ok" he stands up and pull me up. Grabs my waits gently and pull me into a hug. I hug him back for about 5 minutes u till he pulls away. " I think you have dance next, you need to go" " oh yeah I do bye," I started to walk out until he stops me by grabbing my shoulder. " Alexis.... if you need help with anything I'm always here for you." " thank you sir.... I really appreciate it:)" " no problem..."
