               *SKYLER'S POV*
Alex extends his arm to shake my hand, these homeschooled kids.
I shake his hand and smile back,
"I am Skyler."
I nod my head to Khloe and Jacob,
"That's Khloe and Jacob."
"Jacob sartorious." Jacob smirks.
Alex smiles and tilts his head, he clearly doesn't recognize the name.
I see a glint in his hair, are those earrings?
"Are your ears pierced?" I ask.
"Haha yeah." He moves his hair and exposes little gold earrings.
Khloe wrinkles her nose, I agree I usually hate earrings on guys. But he looks good in them. The bell rings, Alex's eyes widen a little in surprise.
"What's your next class?" I ask.
He pulls out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and examines it.
"Uhhh, French."
Woah he's taking French? That's so-
YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
"I have art, our class rooms are right by each other." I smile.
"Can you show me? I am still figuring out these halls..." He says rubbing the back of his head.
I nod and smile and begin walking down the hallway.
After art Alex and I meet up again so I can show him how to get to 4th period, he has an advanced science class! What's this guys deal? His science room is close to ours fortunately so we walk together and I meet Khloe and Jacob for science.
"Hey can we wait for Alex I promised I would show him around." I say searching for him in the crowd. He sticks out pretty easily though. I wave him over toward us.
When we get to lunch Khloe pulls me aside,
"Skyler what are you doing??" She whispers through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean?" I say offhandedly.
"You are so obviously into Alex and you have a BOYFRIEND." she hisses.
I shrug,
"Naw." I still like Chandler, nothing's changed.
Khloe rolls her eyes at me.
"I have to admit he's cute though." She smirks.
I feel my eye twitch. I glare at her.
"Yeah. He's really..."
"I knew it! You do like him or else you wouldn't be getting so jealous!" Khloe teases.
I roll my eyes laughing and walk back to the lunch table.
"Soo.. Alex where are you from?" Jacob asks suspiciously.
"Oh you know, far away." He smiles lightly.
