Twin Guardians

Chapter 1

Alexus

                “Alexus, come on, get out of the car.”, said Alex.  I was in the car staring into oblivion because I did not want to go into my new school.  It’s the first day of senior year and a new school.  I’m really sick of switching schools all the time at least I only have a year left.  Alex is shaking me now.  “Alexus, Alexus, Aleexuus…”

                “Alright, alright, I’m coming.”  Alex got out of the car, came around to the driver’s side, opened the door, grabbed my hand and pulled me out. I took a deep breath and started walking toward my new school. 

                “Everything is going to be fine, relax.  Besides if anything goes wrong I’ll be right there ready to kick some ass.” Alex said as he put his arm around me.  I just laughed at him.  He always knew how to make me feel better. 

                We got to school a few minutes early so we would have enough time to get our schedules and hopefully not get lost.  As soon as we walked in we noticed the office off to the right.  We walked in and went up to the secretary.  Alex said, “HI, we are here to pick up our schedules.”

                “Names?” she said not even looking at us.

                Alex said, “Alexander Thomas.”

                “And Alexus Sanders.” I added. 

                The secretary sighed, got up, went over to a filing cabinet, and started flipping through it. Alex looked at me and whispered, “Rude, much?”  I rolled my eyes and smiled at him.  She came back just then and handed us each a stack of papers, half of which were for our parents.  We skimmed through the papers to find our schedules, when Alex said, “She didn’t give me a locker.”

                “She gave me one.  We can just share if you want.” I said smiling at him.

                “LexieBell, you are sooo sweet.” Alex said half sarcastically.  Alex and my parents are the only ones that ever call me LexieBell.  You have to be really close to me before I allow you to call me by that name.  Alex started it when he found out my middle name.  It's short for Alexus Isabella.  We walked out of the office and noticed that a lot of people were already roaming the halls. So much for having an easy time finding things, I thought to myself.  We started walking in search for our locker and people started greeting me left and right.  They were all talking to me like they knew me and some were calling me Layla.  Alex with a very puzzled look on his face said, “What the hell is going on?”

                “Beats me.  Look I think we’re getting close to our locker.” I said.  Just then some guy comes out of nowhere and kisses me.  I pushed him away and said, “What the hell are you doing?”  Before he answered I got a good look at him.  He has blond hair, blue eyes, and is slightly built.  He wasn’t to bad looking, but I had seen better. 

                “He looked confused as he said, “Well, I thought I was kissing my sexy girlfriend.
