All Boys School Survival Guide for Girls

"All Boy's School Survival Guide" for girls chapter 10

♠--Tip 10: Walking is an art. And men have never really perfected it as women have. Be aware that you do not show off your walking talents when among the boy's. Do not walk as though you are slender, and hip movements are strictly a no-no when you are a girl in an all boy's s school. Walk in a relaxed manner, with all your body parts slouched.--♠

Aliza had just finished lunch with Roan and Lucien and was heading back to the room to grab her math book. /Hmm...the day didn't go as bad as I thought it would. Hopefully, everyday will pass normally and I can get out of here as fast as possible. Now, where did I put the book?/

There was a knock on the door.

Aliza turned and opened the door. There was no one there. She looked around to see if someone had been walked away, thinking no one was in the room, but found that the hallway was deserted at the time. That's when she caught sight of the note on the floor. /What the heck?! Someone just comes and leaves a note and high tales on me?/

Picking up the note, so realized it was scented. /Jasmine? OK, this is getting weirder and weirder!/ She opened the note and her face contorted into a grimace. /Of all the luck! I haven't even been here for more than two days, and already...It has to be Quinn!/

-So you think you can pretend, can you?

Meet me at the rooftop of Rochester Hall at 4 p.m.

I know your dirty little secret-

Aliza looked at the clock; it was 12:45 p.m. /Would Quinn do something like this? I mean, he's been abominable since I got here, so would he confront me like this? I have to think about his motives, I mean, what would be gain from this? Better question, how did he find out it was me here, rather than Alex? He hasn't seen us in years, he should not be able to tell the difference./

Aliza deposited her weight on the carpet. /I am not leaving the sanctuary of this room until I get myself together! I haven't been using my brain since I entered this school. No one should have been able to know I was not a guy, if I had been more careful.../

/I need to get my act together...literally. Aliza, stop being such a bobo! WAKE UP ALIZA!/ This statement was followed by a head shake. /I have to start acting the part, not just mince my words when I am around the guys, no one will take me seriously otherwise. What have I done since I got here? Mumble my words as though I couldn't speak, that's what! I need to be more forthcoming, yes that's what I am going to do!/

/Ahhh...as for Quinn, so what if he suspects i'm Aliza, not Alex? The only way he can prove it is by getting me checked, and if he already knows, and tells the council, then there's nothing for me to do. I'll just have to put up a fight!/

With that resolve, Aliza stood and exited the room, moving towards Rochester Hall.

--~--

Lucien didn't know what to do. The note had obviously been for Izzy. /Shit! How can someone know already? Is that that prick, Quinlan?/

/Jiminy! What if she doesn't show up to the meeting place? Would whoever wrote the note notify others about Izzy? I have to tell her about this...but how can I.../

Lucien decided to head back to the school and try to figure out how to tell Izzy about the note.

--~--

Aliza sat in class, looking at all the faces around her, assessing each and every one of them. /It's almost time for my little meeting with the asshole who's threatening me./ That's when she noticed Lucien enter the room in a hurry. He made his way straight towards her and Roan.

"Alex, I need a word with you." He said in a hushed voice.

/SHIT! Is he the one who knows? But...But...me and him...AHHH! Did he find out I wasn't a guy when me and him...ah...slept together? Wait, don't jump to conclusions, didn't I just make that resolve a few hours ago? Calm down, maybe he needs to talk to me about something else? If he already knew about he, wouldn't he have already told someone Why wait and tell later.../

"What do you need to talk about?" Aliza asked quietly.

"I can't say it here, step out of the class for a second." With that, he turned around and headed back out of the class.

Aliza stood and walked reluctantly outside the room. "What is it that you can't say inside?" Her voice was a little strangled, but she got it out nonetheless.

"Its...ah...are you...I mean," He kept avoiding looking at her, moving his head from the ground to something that seemed to catch his interest behind her head. /AGGG, he's going to give me a premature heart-attack if he doesn't spit what's on his mind out before I collapse!/

"What is it you need to say?" She bit out in a tight voice.

"I...ah...I just wanted to ask if you are joining the badminton club, Roan told me that you were interested and since I found out you're interested, I thought to tell you that there's a meeting tonight for members, and if you missed it, you wouldn't be able to go in the future, and since you were interested, I thought that I should tell you before lost your chance, cause I would hate to be responsible for that."

Aliza was still on the part where he talked about joining the badminton club. He had talked so fast, she could barely understand most of his words. A little disoriented, she didn't realize he was talking again.

"Oh, look, there's Roan!"

"Huh?" By the time she oriented herself, she found she was standing alone in the hall.

/What just happened?...does this mean he doesn't know about me...?/ Aliza walked into the classroom with no more insight at Lucien's odd behaviour, and abruptly realized it was almost time for the meeting. /I should go meet whoever wrote the note, shouldn't I?/

Still a little addled, she made her way to the roof-top.

--~--

Lucien walked away from Aliza in a flurry. /AGGG, am I the biggest bloody idiot on the plant? What the heck was that about the badminton club?...What do I do now? If she doesn't go to the meeting with the blackmailer, surely she will be exposed?/

/I need to go in her place, I'll just hide out and see who knows about it./ Lucien walked to the stairs that led to the battlements. /What a fitting name!/

The stairs led out to the open roof-top and he noted that he was alone. There was no one there else there. He found a little niche beside the outer bricks that made up a little wall. He slid behind the wall and realized he could see the rest of the roof due to small holes in the overlaying of the bricks.

/This is perfect, I can see anyone that comes to the roof./

--~--

When Aliza finally got to the top, she had expected someone to already be there, but the roof was deserted. /Hah, I guess no one's coming. Maybe it was a joke after all./ As soon as she thought that, she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. She turned and her eyes rested on a figure that was appearing from the stairs. Her eyebrows drew together to scrutinize who it was when he started to speak.

"Well, well, if it isn't our little Alex!"

[Hello, guys, I know I said I will post chapter 10 on new year's. I wasn't exactly lying. It's only when I realized that my break ends on the 3 of Jan, and I might be too busy in the first week with new classes depending on the work load, I might not be able to post as much. That's why I decided to post a new chapter every day until I have to go back to school cause I don't know if I will be posting for the whole of the first week of school. Enjoy guys, there is BIG surprise next chapter, it's probably going to the most hilarious chapter so far...at least the way I am imagining it :D

Also, I am working on a new story called: "My. Holier Than Thou"
