Fiction vs. Reality

Chapter Two

Alex' POV:

I close the door and start walking to school. Well its not that far from our house. It's just three blocks form here. It's my first day of school. It is a fresh start for me as a freshman. New school, new friends and new environment. Its like the instauration of myself. I can have a new image not because I have a bad one but I mean I can be better than in elementary. I guess it will be chockablock but I can't abnegate that I feel sad too not because of school but because of dad. I know what his problem is. Its his first love, the girl I was named after. Well my dad talks about her like always when I was young. Sometimes, I feel sad for my mom because it seems like he doesn't love her more than Alex, his first love. But I kinda like their story because its very cliché like in stories but their actually veritable. 

I'm here. I sighed. This is it. A fresh start. I walk inside seeing different kinds of people. Well I'm not the nerdy type but I'm kinda smart, beautiful yet simple not like the popular bitchy kinda girl. 

I walk to my first class and sit at the second to the last row, right across the corner beside a guy reading something. I can't see his face because the book is blocking his face. But I think I really have no choice because it's the last sit that is available.

I sit down and put my bag under my chair. As I wait for our teacher to arrive I examine the room looking at the every part of it. As I examine the room I find myself looking at the guy seating beside me. He looks serious reading his book like it's says that "do not disturb me" but that won't stop me from being in my friendly mode.

I look at him straightly, actually it was staring I just don't want to say it because it looks like a little stunned. I'll stick we'd looking straightly.

I lean a little closer to him but he doesn't even mind me. It's like I'm just a ghost and he doesn't see me and my beauty. I laughed with that thought. Oops he must've heard me. He looks at me awkwardly examining my look. 

"Hello." I said. Feeling awkward and then forcing a smile. Oops again he doesn't buy it

"Oh, hi." He said cheerfully.  I am shock and wrong. He is not that emotionless kinda guy he is more of a you-better-know-him-to-know-him kinda guy. 

He smiled at me like he was waiting for me to finish my thoughts. "Ahhmmm..." I can't think of something to say but then he speak again breaking the awkwardness

"Transferee?" giving me his look. I got to admit, he really is kinda cute especially when he do different kind of looks

"Yes." I laughed. Throwing a bogus laugh. Oh crap, I sounded stupid. "Ahhmmm..." I caught his attention again, "You're really into that book." I smiled.

"Uhm, yeah. I really like reading." he smiled back right at me. 

I examined the book and said, "So its fiction." Saying a matter of fact, "So you love that kind of book" I sounded a little pissed because I remember my dad and his fantasies.

"Yeah, what's the problem with that?" he sounded a little offended by my comment. "Is it wrong to believe that someday you could have what's written in this fiction book?" he raised his voice a little and then added "That is why I can see that you are not worth loving for!" he sounded angry now.

Ouch. That hurts. I can't believe this guy. He raised his voice to me and I will not let this go. "Because..." I raised my voice to but our teacher suddenly arrived. Talk about great timing. Damn, I didn't even defend myself.

Now the class starts. He take his look away and focus to the teacher like he wasn't even talking to me. I'll deal with you later fantasy nerdy freakishly handsome guy. I can't believe I just said that.
