My Hero

Chapter 1

Alexis' POV

The first bell rang and I headed to class. I walked in. "Hi Mr. Hyatt," I said.

"Morning Lex," said Mr. Hyatt. "How was break?"

"Just a lot to comprehend," I said. "Overall, it was fantastic."

"Good," said Mr. Hyatt as the bell rang. I saw a new student. My definition of him is tall, dark, and handsome. "Class, introduce yourselves."

We went through roll call and I was last. "My name is Alexis Inthavong," I said. "I'm a senior."

"I'm Derek Morgan. You can call me Derek or Morgan," said the guy. "I don't really mind and I'm a senior."

The school day passed by and Morgan seemed to have every class with me. "Okay," I said as I walked into Mrs. Fowler's class. My last class of the day. "Finally." I took my seat and Brittany sat behind me. "I am so tired."

"Me too girl," said Brittany.

"I'm ready to get this day over with," I said as Morgan sat down next to me. "Derek Morgan, are you following me?"

"I'm following my schedule," said Morgan handing me his schedule. "I'm not lying."

"Your schedule is exactly identical to mine," I said. "The only thing different is third period because you're actually taking the class."

Morgan's POV

"Thanks my schedule," I said.

"Okay," said Alexis handing me my schedule back. "I'm so ready for school to be over."

"Because of the weather?" I asked.

"I can't stand the cold," said Alexis.

"We all gotta cope," I said. We hung out for the next day and a half. I drove her to and from school. On Wednesday, we were in History class. "Okay."

"So can anyone tell me about Greek City States?" asked Mrs. Norris.

"Greek City States are where the greeks moved when they couldn't stay in one place," I said. "Kind of like gypsies but the greeks were forced to move."

"Good explanation Derek," said Mrs. Norris.

"Thank you," I said as the bell rang. I followed Alexis down the steps and onto the concrete. She almost slipped but I caught her. "Whoa, are you okay?"

"Yeah but I don't ever slip," said Alexis.

"The ground his iced over," I said. "Hold onto me. If you fall, you can't take me down." We went to her locker and back out into the cold. "You going to be okay?"

"Yeah," said Alexis as we walked into the choir class. "I'll see you after class."

"Alright," I said as I took my seat. "Okay." I was sitting next to Carlos in the bass section. "Ugh."

"Hey man," said Carlos looking at me. "You with Ling-Ling?" I looked at him. "Alexis."

"No, I'm not dating her," I said as I looked at Alexis. "She's a great girl and we are friends. Why? Do you like her?"

"A little," said Carlos.

"Ah," I said. Lunch started and I stayed inside with Alexis. "So, I have a question."

"You found out Carlos likes me and you wnt to know if I would date him," said Alexis. I nodded. "Morgan, I have my eye on someone else and I would never date Carlos."

"You are my only friend," I said.
