Reflections (Jalex)

Chapter 2

Alex's POV

I like being quiet and alone for that matter. But so did my parents, maybe a little too much. Which is why I live with Zack and I don't get out alot, which is probably why I only have him left but he promised to take me to parties from now on. Do you ever have one of those days where you just don't see the point anymore? When everything goes wrong and there's no-one there to pick up the pieces? That's me, today. First day of college. I've never been  popular, not the kind of person people would despise because they were popular, not the one who's always at those great parties people talk about for weeks on end. I learnt that people find things out you know, they make promises they don't keep. I'd been through my fair share of that but at school, I was never noticed now. Just because my dad was the football coach now you know? Of course I'm going to get good grades for that kind of stuff.

Glancing over at my clock I realised it was 6am, I should probably get moving, right? It turned out Zack had been up for hours now which really did confuse me a little too much. I slammed my alarm clock down and made my way into the bathroom, Oh you do look like- I wanted to say shit but I actually felt a little good inside. I made my way back to my room and pulled my window up and looked next door I bet some fancy ass old couple live there or something, whatever. I pulled the curtains back and could of sworn I saw someone until Zack tackled me to the ground and pinched at my thin frame. "Dammit Merrick! Every time." I escaped from his powerful hold and chuckled before making breakfast. "So, today's the day eh?" I groaned as I tugged my skinny jeans up hoping that everyone else would be zombie-like and not bother being arse holes. "Indeed it is my man, indeed it is." I never understood why he was always so chirpy and full of life and all I wanted to do was sleep and eat. And rave to Blink and play video games...but mainly sleep.
