If you can catch me

Chapter 8

I took a deep breath trying to calm my nervousness, I haven't been to a school in months, what if something goes wrong? What if someone finds out who she is? What if he finds her? Shaking my head i get rid of those thoughts and thought of what will get me through this.

Go to school. Don't get attached.

Walking up to the door of the school I felt like an insecure self conscious teenage girl, and insecure and self conscious is not what I am. Ignoring the stares I recieved from everyone in the courtyard, i walked up the stairs to the front door, hitching my backpack on my shoulder.

"Hey! New girl!" I turn at the slightly familiar voice. The girl that I spoke to the other day was skateboarding towards me, what was her name again? Jessie? Again she almost crashed into me. She still looked like the girl I had met with the black outfit and the heavy eyeliner, she was also still speaking to me which normally doesn't happen.

"I was wondering if you'd actually show up to this hellhole." I look at her, she did not just cal my sanctuary a hellhole.

"I guess I owe my cousin twenty bucks, we took a bet on it actually, we do with all the new kids. Sometimes they don't show up its funny." She continues talking and all I want to do is find my first class, I'd wing it from there like since when have I ever had an actual plan? Never. I look down at the sheet of paper that the really nice office ladies had given me, Jessie followed my gaze.

"Oh! Let me see!" Before I knew it my schedule was ripped from my hands.

"You have Mr. Thomas for homeroom. I'm not in that class but my cousin is, and I'm sure there's someone to show you around. It looks like I only have you in classes after lunch so sit with us at lunch?" I nod. This girl can seriously talk, not that I minded my best friend at home could talk non stop for hours. With that thought a pain in my chest hit me, she's probably so pissed at me. Normally I would tell her what was going on in my life, but if she knew HE would surely get to her and I couldn't do that to her. Bianca has never liked HIM anyway, I should've listened to her warnings as she has never been wrong before. Jessie reminded me a lot of Bianca and I knew I would get along great with her but what if when I have to leave again? Leave another friend? Jessie is still talking when I zoned back into the one sided conversation.

"-you'll like my cousin. He may be a complete loser but he's ok. There he is come on!" She grabbed my wrist and brought me to a blue truck, one that kind of reminded me of my dads. Girls were already looking at the truck, anticipating the driver to get out, pulling down their shirts and hiking up their shorts. I rolled my eyes at that, they were so desperate. I moved my attention back to the driver who has now decided to grace us with his presence. From what I could tell this guy had a great body, an athlete maybe, and we were still walking towards him. His back to us as he was getting a duffle bag from his car and his raven black hair was a beautiful mess, like he tried to style it but gave up because it didn't work.

"Hey dork!" Jessie called to the newcomer, who was almost late for homeroom might I add we have five minutes until the bell rings. He turns at the sound of her voice and I choke on my breath. It was the guy who claimed I stole his rock, Xzavier. He grins at his cousin and looks over to me, it looked like his smile grew wider across his face. We get in front of him and Jessie pushes me towards him.

"This is-"

"Alex. What a pleasure to see you again my lady." With that he takes my hand and kissed the top of it, everyone that had been watching the spectacle was shell shocked, I would be too if I saw a new girl be acknowledged by what seems to be the resident hot stuff. Jessie was blubbering

"How? When? Where? Why?! You!" She points a finger at Xzavier, her glare scaring the crap out of me, though Xzavier didn't seem to even be effected, he didn't even look at her, for some reason he was staring at me completely ignoring his cousin and I do believe that was a very bad mistake on his part. The first bell rang for the day.

"We will be speaking about this later X." She shoved my schedule at him. "Just take her to class and make sure she gets to lunch I'll take over from there." She storms away until she stops and turns her head back.

"I'll see you at lunch Alex." And with that she leaves me with her flirt of a cousin.

"Hey. She owes me twenty bucks!" Xzavier kinda says to himself as he frowns in her direction. That frown soon turns upside down when he looks back over at me.

"Shall we go my lady." I give him a small simile.

"Sure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xzavier turned out to bein a few of my classes, and the ones he wasn't in he insisted on walking me to them.

"A beautiful maiden shall not ever be unaccompanied." His words not mine. I have been getting stares all day, most are curious but some are just deadly, those ones are mostly from the girls. It was fourth period when things went wrong, not bad in my book but wrong, Xzavier had just walked me to my AP literature class and had left promising to pick me up for lunch every though I had said I could find it myself. I had just turned into the classroom only to be pushed up against the wall, head banging against it in the process. The grip on my was weak and the freshly manicured nails told me this was probably one of Xzavier's admirers.

"Look bitch. I don't know who you think you are but I cannot have you swooping in and stealing my future husband." Wow is this chick being serious? Future husband that's a whole new level of creepy. "I have worked too hard for a little nobody like you to take him away from me." I snorted at that. From hanging out with Xzavier all day I think I know who this girl is and I find it funny she even thought she had a chance with him, not like I did either because relationships never work. I grab her hand off my shoulder and twist is, something HE had done to me before, one swift movement and I could break every bone in her hand and wrist.

"Listen, I have no intention of stealing anything, but even so it wouldn't be considered stealing if it wasn't yours to begin with." I smirk putting a little more pressure on her wrist as she whimpered. Like come on if your gonna make threats don't cry when they retaliate. After I release her I notice all the students staring at me. The "queen bitch" was still trying to get feeling in her hand and was glaring daggers at me. Where is the stupid teacher? Sitting down in an open seat by the window I was wondering if it was too late to climb out of when the teacher came in.

"Sorry for being late. My names Mrs. Davison for our new student. Now let's start on the work for today." Kill me now. Fifty minutes later I wanted to commit mass homicide, how stupid are these kids? The bell rang and I was the first person out that door, and crashed into Xzavier who would've had to have skipped the last few minutes of class to get here before me as there is no way he got there that fast.

"Whoa there." He was laughing at me." Time for lunch my lady." Oh and what an interesting lunch it was.
