Chapter 18

Alex Pov

I woke up in my dorm on Monday morning. I don't share this room. It was my request to have my own dorm room and since my father is the headmaster I got what I wanted.

Soccer starts today and I'm on the team along with three people that I dispise.

Monday class- Math was my first class. I am thinking about changing this class when I see him in this class.

I went into the diner for breakfast. Most of us prefer the diner more then the cafeteria. The person who has really gotten to me is Lillian. As I see her right now sitting with Lucy I can tell behind those hard eyes there is a bit of a heart break. I heard the rumor that her and that jerk guy Lucas broke up. And seeing her face for a couple days I sort of believe the rumor now. She may have hard eyes that most girls would not mess with her because she can have what she wants and if she doesn't get it she would throw a fit. Since Lucas broke up with her she been in a bad mood. Inside she is hurting. 

As I was getting my pancake and my syrup packet I am thinking what I should say to her? If I decide to talk to her. I'm the head student which means in my head to help people in need. Then it hit me. As I sat down and ate. I realize somebody was missing from this diner. Cain. Not that I care just weird he wasn't around. Should I wonder where he is? Not really my concern. Ever since he started taking drugs I stopped caring. I saw Dylan at one of these tables in the far back part of the diner. He usually is with Cain. So it made me wonder where he was.  

I was picking at my food when somebody's voice startled me, "You shouldn't poke your food like that." It was Kate.

I sigh and put my fork down, "I have things on my mind, alright."

Kate sits across from me and eats her waffles with powdered sugar on top. She and I were pretty close friends. She knows how to help me when I want it, "What is on your mind?"

"Do you see Dylan over there?"

"Yeah?"

"Cain usually sits with him during breakfast."

"He could be not eatting breakfast today?"

"Yeah, that could be?" I start eating again.

In math class, I didn't see Cain where he usually sits. Maybe he was sick and in his dorm? While waiting for the teacher to start class and reading my textbook on what math problems we going to learn today I heard two girls talking across from me, "I heard somebody from this class is in the hospital."

"Who is it?" the 2nd girl asks.

"I don't know his name."

"Describe him maybe I know?"

"He is this weird one in this class who always has black eyeliner around his eyes. Sort of emo?" 

The 2nd girl thought about his name which isn't a surprise if she didn't know, "I know who you are talking about, but the name seemed to slip my mind?"

"His name is Cain," I decided to help them out.

The first girl turns to look at me, "You know him?"

"Only his name," I lied. We went way back. I didn't want people to find out about that. 

The first girl turns to the 2nd girl, but before she could speak about Cain I said, "You heard Cain is in the hospital?"

The first girl faces me, "Yes."

I gasp. Shock filled my eyes, "Who did you hear it from?"

"I overheard it from Lucas who was laughing with his friends about it."

That jerk Lucas and his friends that I hate. I got up from my desk and told the teacher Mr. Charles that I had to use the bathroom. He took it and told me to come straight back here after i was done. I told him, "OK." I didn't like lying to him. He is a great teacher who didn't deserve it.

I went straight to Lucas' class which I knew since I help provide the class schedules. I went into the class I look over at Lucas who probably wondered why I was there. I walk over to the teacher Mr. Logan, "May I have Lucas, please?"

"Only if it's important?"

"Yes, it is?"

"Very well then," he looks over at Lucas, who was looking at Dylan, and yes, I remember that night I kissed Dylan, "Lucas?"

Lucas turns to us and raised his eyebrows.

"Alex wants to talk to you?"

Lucas looks at me surprised, getting up and walking over to me, "What, Alex?"

I grab his shirt and pull him out of the class room. I let go of him when we were in the hall, "Do you think it's right to make fun of someone like that?"

Lucas leans on the wall and puts his hands in his pockets of his jeans, "What you mean? I make fun of people all the time and now you make a fuzz about it?"

"Is Cain in the hospital?"

Lucas looks at me with his mouth slightly open, "Yes from overdose on drugs."

I gasp with surprise. I knew that would happen if Cain didn't stop but still it's a surprise. Pain stung my chest. I slap Lucas on the shoulder which made him slightly wince, "You think that's funny?"

He looks over to me his eyes hide a slight guilt, "How did you know I was making fun of-"

"Nevermind that and answer the question dammit?" did I just cuz without realizing it?

"No it's not something to make fun of. My friends were the ones that started making fun of him when I told them about Cain in the hospital. You know me for awhile right?"

"Huh?"

"You knew me for awhile and you know me and Cain. I don't get along with him and I don't remember when the last time we talked where I didn't make fun of him?"

"And you think it's ok to make fun of him now?"

He hung his head in shame, which I thought was lame because he looked like a puppy who did something naughty, "No. But the guys-"

"You have your own choice to laugh with them or not. Now if you don't drive me to the hospital I will tell my father the headmaster about things that you did last week? Plus making fun of someone while he is in the hospital?"

"You're blackmailing me aren't you?"

"It's called pay back for things you did to me in 8th grade," I smile at him with a hint of a evil in the grin. My mind works in ways that you don't want to mess with. You don't want to mess with me because I would get you introuble with my father the headmaster of this school. My mother works in the lower school where my little sister is. My mother is the vice master there.

"Wow Alex...how low can you get?"

"Me being low? Because I think it's a new high for me?"

"Fine you win I will drive you," Lucas checks his pocket for his keys and goes into his class to let the teacher know where he is going. His teacher was ok with it on what he told me and we were out the door too his BMW.
