I'm lost

Chapter 2

       
•First day back•

      

     I wake up early on Monday. The first day back. I'm nerves but I'm excited. It's the next step I need to take. Going back to school is going to help me.

I'm going to smile and say I'm fine.

I Start getting ready by curling my long brown hair, which took at least an hour, and then I get dressed, I wear a cropped black top with a white skater skirt, black wedges and a gold belt that matches my neckless. I do my makeup and grab my bag. As I head downstairs I grab my phone from my bag and call my dad.

My parents are never home, they're both business owners. My dad lives in New York with his company and my mom is constantly flying back and forth between New York and Paris, where she's working on her latest fashion line.

So I was basically raised by my brother, Cameron who is four years older then me. They visit every month unless they are too busy to be parents they just put money in by bank account.  So it was always just me and Cameron.

"Hello. Lexy?" he sounds busy.

"Yeah dad it's me"

"listen I'm heading into a meeting right now so I call you later" I'm not surprised.

"love you, I'm heading in now so I got to go."

And he hangs up. Now the other parent. Yay. Voicemail. I'm about to leave a message when Liam knocks at the door. I open it and his face drops into a huge smile.

"Hey gorgeous, ready to go. He says giving me a kiss on the lips.

"Yeah ready as I'll ever been." I say smiling.

"Don't worry, you've got me"

Not for long

I stand in front of the doors to school with my eyes close. Waiting for Liam, who catching up with his friends. I block out all the noise, the sound, the voices. My last year of high school. I can do this. I can smile and I can pretend to be okay. And sometime along I can be okay. And stop pretending. Liam stands next to me placing his hand in mine. I open my eyes. Shaking my head yes, and we walk inside.

I make it to my locker which thankfully is close to Nicole's.  Nicole has been my best friend since we were 8. She knows all about my family drama, except the recent discovery.

"Lexy!"  She screamed in my ear, pulling me into a tight hug.

"You guys just saw each other yesterday" Liam says making fun of us.

"Well It feels like it's been weeks." Nicole says.

"I so don't understand girls" Liam say out loud but mostly to himself, but Matt and Tyler walked up to him saying "You and me both" giving Liam a fist bump and me a huge hug from both boys.

Tyler is one of my oldest friends, one of my first real friend, I guess you could say. He's also Nicole's boyfriend.

Matt on the other hand... was more like a brother to me. Matt, Tyler, Nicole, and Karla or 'Camila' I should say we're all best friends. Not just friends but my family. But everything's different now.

The bell rings *** enterupting my thoughts. Of me trying to put everything I found out together.

"Walk you to class." Matt asks knowing we have first period together.

"No, the guidance counselor wanted to talk to me. But I'll see you in class" I say turning with a smile and give a kiss to Liam.

"Already torchering the new kids?" Tyler says joking.

"Me, never." I put my hand over my heart and pretend to be offended.

...

I'm about to knock on the door but my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I quickly answer without checking who it is.

"Your cousin should be getting in, around five okay." My mother informs me without so much as a hello.

I'm surprise she's the one telling me this since my cousin Valeria is from my dads side of the family.

My cousin Valeria is from Mexico as is my dad. She's coming to stay with me for a while, because her mom just died of cancer and her father my dads brother isn't around much because he's always working. My grandma and the rest of my dads family decided it would be good for her to get away for a while.

We talk for two more minutes about the details before she hangs up. 

That's my Mother. The famous fashion designer from Paris. For her , she only has one 'baby', her company.

I take a deep breath and knock softly on the door.

"Come in" Ms.Even's says.

She's sitting behind her desk talking to a new kid, I think.

"Good lexy your here, this will only take a second. If you keep up the same grades as the last few years your looking to be the class valedictorian Which is why I think you'd be perfect for this job."

I nod, it not that big of a surprise to me, because a few months before summer break I met with a few of my teacher, basically they said I could graduate early.

I've been smart enough to graduate from high school before I even started it. Cameron, my dead brother bet me I couldn't a score any where near (800.) To everyone's surprise I got a perfect score 1340. The 90th percentile.
It didn't surprise me, all my life I've always skated through school without trying, without studying.
Thanks to my photographic memory, which I really hate sometimes.

she continues "This is our new student" she says standing and pointing out the kid that I almost forgot about.

"Well he came to this school for his sophomore year, he says you two are friends."  He stands up about to turn around but I already know who he is.

***

Ok I think I'm going crazy. Or I'm hallucinating. A bit of both I'd say. Probably do to the amount of stress I'm dealing with, and the lack of sleep. Or maybe it a side effect of the pills I've been taking.

I try think if the side affects that were listed on the side of the label on the bottle. But right now I can't think clearly.

It's him.

He's back.
