As I walk through the hall down to my locker to get my books, I see that weird friend of mine.
"Alexises are known to have mental issues," I whisper very loudly to a person 2 lockers down from hers.
"La la la la," she says in an insane voice.
The person I whispered to gives a nervous laugh and quickly walks away.
"One more person that you have taken off the list titled People That Think I'm Normal," she points out.
"Eh. Less competition for the spot of Alexis's Bestie," I joke.
"No. You're a terrible person. Go die in a hole you worthless peice of crap," she jokes back.
I quiver my lip a bit before running away down the hall about 20 feet fake-crying.
"Shut up. You know I'm joking," she says with a strong hint of annoyance.
As I jog back with a ton of stares I point out "No...you weren't," with a fake sob in between.
She sighes just before mocking me, "I am deeply sorry for the hurt I have put you through. Please forgivith me."
"I'll be generous and say...I forgive you," I mockingly counter.
"Gosh you're stupid. Anyways I have to go to basketball practice. Have fun being weird," she says.
"Thanks I will," say as she turns away.

"Just used One Direction shower gel," Alexis typed on a picture of her with wet hair on a Snap.
"What the hell is wrong with you," I say to my phone as if she'd hear it.
"And you say I'm weird," I type on a replying Snap.
I plug my phone into my speakers and let Miike Snow fill my room with Song for No One.
"Not bad homework music," I think in my head.
I get out my English homework and start some of it.
After about a couple of minutes my phone buzzes and I check it thinking it'd be a Snap from Alexis.
"JOHN CENAAAAAA," is what came up over a picture of a red-head about ready to explode with excitement about a poster of WWE's John Cena on her bedroom wall.
My replying Snap consists of me with a look that would say a sarcastic 'Wow' and "Obsessions" typed on it.
I returned to my homework and worked on it for about 4 more hours until I slowly fell asleep listening to my music.
"Oh, no, I see
A spider web, and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here am I in my little bubble,
Singing out...
I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble,
Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm.
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me."

Well this is actually pretty fun to do.
And that last song was Trouble by Coldplay.
I've gotten advice to not throw any cliff hangers or anything to serious out 'til the characters have been at least mostly explained. Sooo I'm trying to I guess "set the scene" or something before I do anything to explosive with this.
Hope whoever is reading this is finding this at least moderately good. Let me know if you have any ideas to make it better whether you do think it's good or not.
***I'd still be happy to take any pointers or ideas or any other info that you believe is useful.
