It All Started With A Thud

Chapter Five

       ~ Christian's Point of View ~

       As I came to school on Monday, I saw Alex talking to Mac. Since Alex's back was to me I decided to scare her to get back at her for the other day.
       I wait until Mac walks away until I make my move.
      " Boo! " I exclaim. She squeals and spins around to face me.
      " Don't do that! " she laughs playfully hitting my arm.
     " You should've seen your face, " I say hugging her.
    Then out of nowhere I here " Sup Twizzler. "
       " Hey Thumper, " Alex says pulling away from my grip and hugging Shiloh.
        " So,  you still haven't told us are you twizzling his nizzle now? " asked Shiloh.
         " No, Shiloh I'm not twizzling anyone's nizzle, " Alex replied.
" Keep telling yourself that, " Shiloh said patting Alex on the back as she walked away.
" What was that all about? " I ask.
" She gave me that nickname a long time ago and it just stuck, " Alex said.
       " I wish my friends made up cool nicknames like that back home, " I chuckled.
         " What were your friends like back where you're from? " she asked.
       " So I may have seemed like a dark introverted emo kid but I actually had a big group of friends, " I started but I was cut off as the bell rang. " Come on let's go somewhere and finish this story without being interrupted. "
        She looked kind of surprised, yet slightly scared at the same time. " You mean like skip class? "
        " Oh Alex, Alex, I may be new but you don't think I didn't look around and find my way through on my own did you? "
       " I - " she started. I put my finger to her lips silencing her.
        " Don't you trust me? " I ask holding out my hand. She took it but she didn't seem to be sure if she should. " Don't worry you'll be fine, " I chuckle. " There's nothing to be afraid of. "
        
          ~ Alex's Point of View ~

        I was pretty freaked out when Christian said we were going to skip class. I may not seem like it but I'm not too rebellious. My friends would always describe me as a cute and innocent special little snowflake, so when Christian suggests skipping class I had my doubts on whether or not I should ditch.
          " Christian, we're going to get caught, " I say as he leads me out the doors.
          " No we're  not and so what if we get caught? One little detention isn't going to ruin your life, " he said.
        " And how would you know that? " I ask.
       " Because you're the girl who lives the way she wants and doesn't care what anyone else thinks even if they try to make your life miserable it's like you're bulletproof, Alex. I know what they say about you and I know that you know what they say about you but you stay positive, you stay so happy and pleasant. Never change, " he says, holding my face in his large hands.
          " I won't, " I assure him.
         " Good girl, " he says bringing me close in a hug.
