Alexia...

RING -RING -RING- RING. The bell to my last class of the day sounded like music to my ears. I quickly get up and start to put my stuff in my bag. I swing my bag over my shoulder and sprint to the door. My hand is on the knob and I can hear freedom calling my name, when my teacher shatters my dreams by saying three words."Do not leave." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I find myself back in my seat, in the back of class,waiting for her to finish speaking so I can go to Wallies.

"I know that everyone is very excited about getting home but I still didn't get a chance to tell you about your big project. This project requires you to write a poem about your partner, that will be assigned to you. You can write about anything as long as its appropriate", she gives a pointed look at a kid named Larry making him blush,"This will determine your grade for this semester. You will present your project at the end of the semester, in 6 weeks. I have the names of your partners outside the door. You are dissmissed."

Right after she says that, I bolt for the door. I run out into the hall and have a mini debate on weather to look at the list or not. I decide against it and continue my walk to my locker. Well that is until I heard someone ask," Who the fuck is Alexia Diamond?" As soon as I hear my name I turn around. I look through the mob of students, trying my best to pinpoint who asked about me. I feel like I've heard that voice before.......

I turn back around only to fall on my butt from bumping into what I assumed to be a brick wall except, the last time I checked there weren't any walls in the middle of the hallway. Plus this wall smelt like Pine, and forest wood.

I look up to see the face of the most wanted man in town, Zander Watkins.For a second I am shocked but then I recover quickly when he grumbles, "Watch where your going."

I immediately spring up from the floor. I stand to my full height of about 5'5, which is still short compared to his height if 6'3. "Im not the one who was standing behind someone like a creep then gets mad when they turn around. Have you ever heard of personal space?" I snap back. "Who do you think you are?" He all but yells getting closer to my level. By now a crowd has gathered to watch the commotion.

"I am Alexia Diamond. And I am a human being." I shout in his face. I don't know its just something about him that gets me rilled up. I just want to wring his neck.

"I don't give a-", he suddenly stops his sentence as he realizes something," Wait, did you say your name was Alexia Diamond?" He asks as if he couldn't remember what I just said. I slowly nod my head, slightly scared of why he asked. He looks down at a piece of paper in his hand than back up at me. He repeats this action once more before he says something that catches me by surprise.

"Your my partner."

I know I know, its a short chapter but I can insure you that the next chapter will be longer. So what do you think of the book so far? Let me know in comments. With lots of love from mother earth, Promise.
