Chapter two

Feeling very inspired for this story; I'm loving writing it! Btw a pic of Alex is on the side :). Enjoy! xx

I soon discovered the most hated and evil teacher known as Mr Addison would be my tutor. Nadine dragged me to one of the back science classrooms, tugging on my hand as she pulled quickly to two back seats on the last row. Instead of immediatly seating ourselves, Nadine yanked me to my feet just as Mr Addison walked in, we stood straight behind our chairs.

"Good morning, year elevan," The large man in front of the class bellowed out, placing his laptop down on the marble desk, "You may take a seat."

The class sat.

Well this isn't depressing at all is it...

I stifled a giggle and watched the towering figure of Mr Addison type away on his laptop as he called our names out.

"Irwin?"

"Yes, sir."

"Fasgarth?"

"Yes, sir."

I rolled my eyes. So damn smart up here.

"Edwards?"

I stiffened and gulped, straightening up on my stool and opening my mouth to speak. But nothing came out. NO! Not now, now here! My throat closed and my heart rate sped up, causing short silent gasps to escape me.

"Edwards? Alexis Edwards?" Mr Addison looked up, eyes washing over the room before landing on me. "Ah yes, you're new here aren't you Alexis? I know your sister Perrie, she's very bright," His voice softened at the sight of me panicking, he smiled and went back to his computer, calling out more names.

"Wow, normally he's not so nice to new students. Especially ones like, well, us! Are you alright? You're shaking," Nadine laid a gentle hand on my back, rubbing circles into my spine.

I automatically flinched away, my stare snapping up to her; my eyes filled with fear and horror. Nadine pulled back and gaped, "W-what's wrong, Alex?"

I blinked. "S-s-so-sorry...I d-don't lik-ke being-g t-touched..."

Nadine nodded, a sad but understanding smile on her lips. She got it. I faintly recall telling her of my fear of being touched, of having someone too close to me and just generally touching me. Sometimes, I was okay, like when Nadine was holding my hand and pulling me into class whereas other times I would panic and freak out if someone brushed past me. A fear of being touched, of being harmed and shattered. I was so breakable.

I'm here, Alex, you've always got me.

I nodded mutely at Aiden's silent words. My chest already swelling with warmth, adoration and love. Love. Always love.

Always here.

I felt a pressure over where my heart was, the area heating up with the invisible contact.

I nodded again, this time slouching down and lowering my head to block out the glances I was recieving and waited for the bell to ring.

I tapped my pen aimlessly on the desk, eyes trailed on the teacher infront of me yet not hearing the words that he spoke. History, supposed to be one of my favourite subjects to learn about and baring in mind I had chosen it for GCSE. But it was either History or Geography, and me and Geography do not go well together.

The teacher droned on about something I wasn't paying attention to for a little while longer before picking up a piece of paper from his desk, glancing at it and then looking back at the class.
