Meeting Skies

Chapter 4

When we enter Mr. Bello's class Alex gets the attention that any other celebrity would get in public. Although people stared at us because he walked in with me. Bello gives Alex the option of taking a free class but he does the assignment anyways. It was a project about us sketching our spirit animals, Alexander chose the lion and almost every one else chose something in the cat family.

"What are you drawing?"  
He say's looking over trying to get a glimpse at my sea creature.

"I'm sketching a dolphin, can't you tell?" I sarcastically tell him.

"Hi Alexander umm... I was wondering if I could get a picture with you?"                                                  Interrupted Linda the school whore, her name is Latin for beauty, but that bitch is something else. If Satan had a daughter it would be her.

"Sure it's always nice to meet a fan."
Alex puts his arm around her while her friend quickly snaps the picture and they run off laughing and giggling.

"So Elenore right?"
I nod to his question.
"Why the aquatic mammal?"

"Well dolphins are highly intelligent, their peaceful and gentle but with inner strength, and their playful nature reminds me that I need to approach life with humor and joy."
Awkward silence between us
"That's amazing" he finally comments.

"Why did you choose the lion."
I figured it was because the lion is the king of the animal kingdom and he considered himself royalty.

"Well I chose the lion because lions are the most relentless fighters in the face of life challenges. They represent courage, strength while overcoming obstacles. And they are wild, they do what ever they want. Sure the king is the only male in a pack filled with females, but do you know who protects them and the cubs when another male tries to take over, the king, he never stands down when it comes to battle, his head is held high always, because he knows he's capable of doing great things and that he's capable of accomplishing what he wants, kind of like me, yeah I may be a celebrity and have everything in the world but I still have problems of my own, and I consider myself a lion for getting up every day and facing those challenges."

That was beautiful. I wasn't expecting that from him at all, he found meaning in the cat. And gave me a different point of view towards Alexader Skies.
The awkward silence starts sinking in again.

"So where are you from?" He asked me with a curious look in his face. I was pretty shocked that he was interested in where I was from, but he probably doesn't even care and is just trying to make a conversation.

"I'm from Webb Cliff."
"You live there?" I could tell why he asked that question he probably thought I was filled with greens like everyone else that and Webb Cliff is not the nicest neighborhood, also it's like a 20 minute drive from the school to where I live.
"Yes I live there." I roll my eyes.
"So you aren't"
"I'm not rich, if that's what your trying to say."
"Then how do you -"
"I attend for free"
"Scholarship?"
"Something like that" I said not looking up from the half sketched dolphin, I could feel his eyes on me. And felt the rude comments and the sounds of disgust come along.
"Wow, you are different."
I give him a ugly stare, now I want to hurt him. He went from being cute to being the asshole everyone else is. What did he even mean by that.
"What does that mean!?"
He turns red for the second time today.
"Not in a bad way, I meant you are different as in you are not like everyone else, your unique and I can tell."
I didn't know if I should be mad at him because that was really cute, but I don't think that's something a straight guy would say to another guy.
"Mmhm"
I roll my eyes and go back to finishing the human of the sea.

After that I walked Alex to his third class and we didn't talk as much because on the way there fans were stoping him and taking pictures and whatsoever, his movies must be good because he was getting great attention, all eyes were on him.

"Must be nice."
I comment hoping he heard me over the squealing girls.
"What this?"
He leans into my ear.
"It's sometimes annoying, I love my fans don't get me wrong but going through this all the time gets old after a while."
"See that is why I'm ok not being known."
I speak louder.
"I would hate this."
I whisper to myself
I was starting to get irritated with the situation because for one I had to walk him to class through a mob of flesh eating teens, and it was taking so long that I was already three minutes late to class. I hate being late, I like to be the first one there so I could enjoy the silence of the classroom. His fans started getting out of control they started shoving, and pushing , screaming, they were doing the most. They called some school security guards to him so they could push the kids out of the way, so I decided to leave him and head to class. He would be fine he has security and no one can hurt him. The most that would happen is him getting a scratch mark on his arm from all the girl trying to yank him in the crowd.
As I walk into the crowd I feel a hand grab my wrist and pull me back. I thought it was some kid so I clinch my fist and turn around ready to punch someone in the gut.
"Wow calm down Nori."
It was just Alex
"Where do you think your going?"
"To class!"
We speak loudly so we can hear each other
"Mr. Bolton said you had to walk me to all my classes!"
"You'll be fine you literally have security walking you to class!"
"Y'all made a deal and a deal is a deal!"
I groan
"Ok fine!"
Well apparently he won't let me leave and all of that made me mad, that and I did not realize that every one that was coming towards him. I was thrown out of the way. There was this one kid that I actually pushed so hard he fell and took five other kids down with him.
Eventually I get to his class and basically drop him off.
"So what are the plans for lunch?"
He tells me as soon as I turn around heading to what now seems to be a tardy.
"Idk about you but I'm eating chipotle with Mr. Bolton, didn't you hear?"
"Can I come?"
Absolutely not. I agreed to walk him to his classes in exchange for food but not with him.
"See that was not part of the deal."
"C'mon I don't wanna eat alone in the cafeteria."
"You wouldn't be alone"
"Well I won't be able to eat."
That was true. If he was in the cafeteria the students would most likely not even let him get food.
"Ok but your going to meet me in Mr. Boltons room, do you know how to get there?"
"Yeah I'll manage."
