Part 86: About Alex

                 *SKYLER'S POV*
I let the tears roll down my cheeks, I am sad I broke up with Chandler but lately he hasn't been himself...
"Sky..."
I look at Alex.
"Don't be sorry." He smiles.
"But all of this is my fault." I say looking down.
"No it isn't! Chandler and I are to blame."
What he says kinda shocks me.
"I fought your boyfriend and was the reason you broke up, I was the reason he was mad at you. It was my fault. I am really sorry, the last thing I wanted to do was break up any relationships. I knew I shouldn't have come here."
Alex says sadly and he looks away from me.
"Alex it's definitely not your fault!" I smile shaking my head. "I was thinking of breaking up with Chandler for a while, and I think you coming here has been great! And you've only been here for a few days, but I want to get to know you." I smile looking up at him.
He sighs,
"Okay what do you want to know?"
"Where did you move here from, where did you learn to fight like that, why did you correct the teacher on your name, and a few more." I say thinking.
"Ooh... Those are all very hard questions.
Well you might not believe me, but here goes nothing." He smiles up at the sky.
"My real name is pretty outlandish and I wanted a fresh start. So I decided to go with a more American name. I am actually from the Middle East, my parents are Politicians. My mom was originally from America but moved away and met my dad. But due to civil unrest he had me and my mom move back here so we would be safe. As for how I learned how to fight, I was trained as a part of my schooling. It's how I met my best friend."
He sighs and leans back onto is hands.
"What's your real name?" I ask taking in all the information.
"You have to swear you won't tell anyone." He grins.
"I swear." I say smiling back at him.
"You can't laugh either." He says.
"I promise I won't."
He leans in and whispers in my ear.
"Woah... That's a cool name." I say looking at him.
He smiles and looks down again.
"Hey Alex, my birthdays this weekend, and I want you to come."
He grins,"Of course! What are you doing?"
"Paintball." I smirk.
He looks at me confused.
"Trust me you'll love it."
We talk for a few more hours, he explains what his home is like and all the adventures he had with his old best friend, And his culture.
"That's one thing I don't understand. Back where I am from, almost all the boys have their ears pierced. But here no one does." He shakes his head.
I shrug,
"I like them."
He smiles at me,
"Thanks."
The sun begins to set and we decide to head home.

                      *ALEX'S POV*
I tell Sky my address and she drives me home. We pull up to my house.
"Damn! Your house is massive."
"Thanks!" I say smiling at her.
She starts to get out of the car but I stop her.
"Oh no maybe it's better if you stay in the car... My moms a little overwhelming." I say laughing.
"Ohh gotcha. We'll see you at school."
"See you!"
I walk up to the front door and walk in.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! YOURE 4 HOURS LATE I WAS SO WORRIED! WHOS THAT?! IS THAT A GIRL!! YOU WERE WITH A GIRL!?" My mom yells. I can see Skyler laughing in her car.
"Moomm!! You're gonna disturb the whole neighborhood!" I say, quickly shutting the door behind me.
I run up the stairs and sit down on my bed.
I've decided it... I do like sky.
