Can this be true?

Happening the same way she saw

"We need a banner to go over the trophy case" a student Jackie said to the group she was in. "But we haven't got any paper big enough" Alex said, she may have been a new teacher, but the students respected her cause of her age. I mean she was only 22 years old. About 15 years younger than most of the teachers here. "I can get some paper" Claire offered. "My dad has loads" Alex watched as the group nodded. "Do you want to go grab it now. I mean you do have a free period next" Alex stated, she knew these girls, they were sort of her friends. Claire especially. She isnt like most of the other Cheerleaders. She is kinder and more caring. "Sure" Claire stood up and left, taking her stuff with her.

"So Jackie. What is it like being the hero of Union Wells High?" Alex asked, curious. She started work just after the accident with the train. So she still needed to catch up on what's going on. Jackie here, apparently saved a man from the train wreckage and came out without a scratch or a burn. Which Alex found impressive. "It was exhilarating" Jackie Started, Wow she said a big word, Alex mentally laughed. "I mean I could hear his pleas for help. So I raced in, hoping to find the source of the begging. Eventually I found him, and pulled him free, before running off" Jackie finished her story, Bullshit,  Alex knew better. The way Jackie explained the story, made it seem as though she didnt know what she was on about.

After school had finished and Alex was let out she made her way to Claire's house. She decided she was going to help her with the Banner. Approaching the door, Alex knocked. A man with Horn rimmed glasses and brown to grey hair opened the door. "Hello. Mr Bennet. My name is Alex, Is Claire in?" Alex asked, inspecting the man. It's something she has always done. "Yeah, come on in. You a school friend? You look to old to be in school" he moved away from the door and allowed me in. "Im a new teacher at Union Wells, but I have become friends with Claire today and thought I would help her with the Banner for Homecoming." She explained. "She's in the living room. First door on the left. It should be open" Mr Bennet said and I walked off in that direction. "Please. Call me Noah" he called after her, Noah was suspicious, Why would a teacher, make friends with a student? Noah stared after the woman for a few more seconds before he headed into the kitchen to make some Coffee.

Alex found herself  in a greatly decorated Living room, a few grey Chairs and Claire on the floor, a pencil outline of HOMECOMING Written on the border she got from her father. "Hey Claire" Alex said and Claire looked up, "Hey Miss. Marcus" Claire said. Alex gave her a look. "Claire, Please you know that isn't my name. Its Mazuri. Please just call me Alex. I feel old when you call me Miss." Alex smiled. "Okay. I still wish you used your real name" Claire said moving over on the floor so Alex could join her. "Yeah well, you know I can't. I feel strange if I do. Its against what I have dont all my life. Only my friends know my real name" Alex said grabbing a black pen, to outline the pencil sketch Claire just finished. "No enough talk. We need to finish this for Jackie, especially since homecoming tomorrow night" Alex smiled and they got to work.

"So your name is Alex Mazuri?" Noah asked, and Alex nodded confirming his suspicions. "I love to use my real name for most things, but when I was younger it was drilled into my head not to and it just stuck with me all these years, I cant stop" she explained as she and Claire colored in the letters on the banner with a blue pen. Noah, sitting in one of the armchairs, was holding the newspaper, and questioning Alex about her life and hobbies. "So any interests? Favourite TV show, book etc" Noah asked and Alex answered immediately. "Yeah just the one TV show. Its called Heroes" she finished colouring in the N on the paper before leaning back. "I haven't heard of that one" Claire said as she continued to color in the last letter on the border. "Yeah, not many people have. But its a good show" Smiling, Alex stood up and checked her watch. "Well I best be off. I have to grab some sleep before school tomorrow. Claire, I will see you tomorrow and I hope you win Homecoming" grabbing her bag she shook Noah's hand and made her way out the house, calling goodbye behind her as she shut the door and headed out into the street.

************************************

Alex stood in the Amphitheatre. The one that came straight from the Show Heroes. She knew what may happen. She watched the Episode Homecoming, she hated knowing what she did and being unable to do anything. She watched Claire walk into the amphitheatre with her friend Zach and they made their way up near the top. The head of the school, walked in as they sat down and he placed a piece of paper on the notice board. Alex, curious herself, made her way towards the board, along with all of the cheerleaders. Claire walked up next to Jackie and Jackie started up. "You dont actually expect to win. Do you?" she laughed, Claire looked at Alex who was already at the board and staring in her direction. "I dont really care" Claire replied, hoping to end the conversation. 

Alex smiled in Claire's direction, she just read the board. Its read:

HOMECOMING QUEEN

Claire Bennet

AND HER COURT

Darlene Price

Tamara Grener

Britanny Whitlock

Cynthia Acosta

Jody Kidd

The best thing was, Jackie wasnt even on the list. A cheerleader stood in Jackie's way "Dont spaz out" she said before Jackie pushed her away. She studied the paper for a few seconds before turning to Claire. "I cant believe it" She sneered. "I won?" Claire asked in disbelief as she saw the paper too. Claire. Claire. Claire. Came the chanting of the school students in the amphitheatre. "Congrats" Alex said putting a hand on Claire's shoulder as the cheering continued.

Claire, Zach and Alex made their way through the grounds of the school, people who Claire never used to know, now knew who she was and greeted her like they were friends. "I mean everyone who wasnt my friend is my friend and everyone who was my friend isnt" Claire finally caught on. "Hey I have to go. See you tonight" Alex said before she made her way into the building, stopping at the Trophy case and staring into it. 

Tonight. If things went the way Alex knew they would.

Its going to be bad
