Chapter 7: "What do you do to live, Alexander?"
The last bell had already sounded and half the students were probably gone. I? Well, I was putting things away in my locker, and chances are I'd already been looking for Jake and Tris if the bitch of the math teacher had nothing to do but to tell me that I need to do a job Especially since my IQ is not enough for Oak Hills.
Okay, he had not said those words exactly, but he had meant it.
And the truth was that it was not my fault to have been in an orphanage all my life with the basic education that they gave us there. I was not clumsy or anything like that, but, everything had suddenly changed and I was a bit overwhelmed to know that exams had no questions like "draw an isosceles triangle and name it" which clearly went very well, since in that exam He had gotten ten. But, well, what I least wanted was to be behind with my materials because of the orphanage. I really did not know how Tris did, though she's always been smarter than me.
I took out my math book along with a couple of notebooks and other textbooks that had homework for Monday.
"Hello." Whose voice took me by surprise and I was so stressed that I could not help but jump. I was surprised to see Alexander Lawrence there. That is to say, yes, he was in this school and could walk for her everything he wanted, but what the hell did he talk to me? I'm sorry, I did not mean to scare you. "He smiled and, oh my God, his smile was beautiful.
Like the idiot I'm just nodded, dumbfounded by how pretty I was and I'm sure the noise that came out of my mouth was a groan.
Why did he have to be such an idiot in front of handsome boys? Seriously, Obama probably wonders the same thing.
He smiled even more, and I heard a beautiful laugh escaping his lips.
I was in heaven, this guy was so cute.
"You're Kelsey, are not you?" I nodded again at her beauty and he continued to smile because he knew she was stupid, and the best. I just came to introduce myself and tell you that I'm sorry for the way the idiots of my brothers behaved the other day, you know, with all that harassing the new girl. But they are not bad at all, just a little stupid at times and they find it fun to scare the girls of the institute ...
I smiled because he seemed just as nervous as me and he did the same because he knew he was going through the branches.
"Anyway, I wanted to tell you that it was nothing to collect your biology book."
-Wait to?
What? Had it been him? Not Aaron?
I could not help the disappointment I felt because no, I did not like Aaron, but I had come to think that he was interested in me.
Which clearly was crazy ... How could such a nice boy get to notice me?
"Of course, Alex's" A "... I whispered and realized that he had listened to me. He leaned against the lockers and snorted.
"They already went with the gossip, right? What are we today?" The children of a famous who does not want to recognize us? Or better, our parents are cannibals and that's why we do not eat at lunch.
I could not help but giggle as I closed my locker, he looked at me with amusement.
"To be honest," I said, "you're all homosexuals and secretly have a house on the outskirts where they do voodoo rituals sacrificing hens.
He laughed hard when he realized my smile.
"I know they went with the gossip because you know my name, so tell me, what did they tell you?" I shrugged.

VampireStay away from me-his voice was firm as if it had just happened had not happened. as if he had not pushed me against the lockers demanding answers to questions I did not understand, and as if the had not done after that nice gesture to wipe the tear...
