The Boy With The Bad Past

Chapter 3

Chris's POV

After Alexandria dropped me off at home I went up stairs and did my homework I have so many classes to catch up on since I am at a new school. By the time I was done with all of my work for all for my classes for the past week it was 30 minutes past 6 and I put Alexandria's number in my phone and my mom showed up and I asked,"Mom can you get me up in the morning before school starts please?"

She responded, "Yes, what time does school start for you?"

"Umm I think it starts at 7 am." ,I responded.

"I will get you up at 5:30 so you can get ready for school in the morning and I can drive you to school", she said.

"Okay thanks mom", I responded.

At that I went back into my room and sent Alexandria the message and had a conversation with her that night. I found it a little hard to fall asleep since I was thinking about Alexandria. I fell asleep about 30 minutes later.

Alexandria's POV

I wake up at 5:45 in the morning to get ready for school. It took me ten minutes to find something to wear and put it on. I went down stairs  to go eat breakfast it only took five minutes for me to eat. Next I when upstairs to finish getting ready for school all I had left was to brush my hair and teeth and pack my bag for school. I took me about 15 minutes to get that all done. I was on my way to school by 6:15. 

When I got to school I parked and it was almost 6:30 when I walked on to campus. I went to my first class to see what we were going to do for the day and then I had to remember what clubs I was involved in for today but I could not think of any that were scheduled for today so I could leave right after school. I thought to myself, "Should I ask Chris if he needs a ride home for today or for the rest of the year at this point." By the end of all of that it was 6:50 and school starts in 10 minutes.

I review what we did yesterday in Art since that is my first teacher of the day. That took till the bell rang and the class started to pile in with students. Once the second bell rang I looked around for Chris and I did not see him. "What is that boy doing he knows we have school today?", I thought to myself.

I went to all of my periods and once I reached fourth period Chris walks in late about 30 minutes late to be exact and he sees me and sits by me. I ask in a whisper, "Why did you not come to school on time this morning?"

Chris says, "I asked my mom to wake me up and she never did so I am late because I woke up late and I walked to school which made me even later. I am sorry for being late can you pick me up tomorrow before school so I get here on time tomorrow and not 4 hours late."

I responded, "Yes but if you are not up and ready by the time I get to your house I am not taking you to school so you might want to set an alarm in the morning to wake up to and do you need a ride home today?"

Chris said, "Yes I do need a ride home maybe for the rest of the year even."

I said, " That can happen for the rest of the school year and me also taking you to school in the morning."

"You are the best Alexandria!!" ,Chris said happily.

Before I could say something the bell rang and we got up and went our separate ways to our fifth period. After fifth period ended it was lunch and I went to the same spot as yesterday so if Chris has not made any friends yet he might know where I am. 

Chris walks toward  me and sits right next to me like yesterday and I ask, "How has your day been so far?"

He says, "It has been great, thanks for asking me."
