Chapter 9- New Kid

[Ingrid's POV]

Alex and I ate so much pizza that we could hardly move. We were sitting on the kitchen floor and talking about all sorts of crazy stuff, it was getting late and the further into the evening it got the weirder the conversations got.

"Alex do you think aliens exist?" I asked him.

"Hm. I don't think they should be called aliens because that's racist," he said.

I started laughing at him, "racist?" I chuckled.

"Yeah, they're just other life forms like humans, vampires or zombies," he explained.

"Fair enough. You wanna watch a zombie movie?" I offered.

"Hell to the yeah," he exclaimed.

We were up half the night watching movies until we fell asleep next to each other on the sofa.

[Alex's POV]

I woke up with a start.

What? Why wasn't I at home?!

I started to panic then realised that Ingrid was next to me and I was in her house. We'd fallen asleep last night after watching movies. She was still sleeping and looked so beautiful. I checked the time.

"Shit, Ingrid it's 7 we have to get up and get ready for school," I said, shaking her awake.

"Holly fuck off," she mumbled.

"Excuse me, I don't sound that much like a girl," I chuckled.

"Wha- Alex?" She was only half awake and completely confused.

"Yeah it's me," I told her, "come on get up, it's time for school!"

She sat up, yawned and rubbed her eyes. Complaining, she walked out the room to go get ready for school. I already had my uniform on so I just sat quietly, then Holly came downstairs.

"Alex did you stay over?" She asked, frowning.

"Uh, yeah.. Me and Ingrid fell asleep on the sofa whilst watching a movie," I told her.

"Oh. Okay, movies are fine," she mumbled and walked away.

Protective sister? God dammit. I liked Holly and I understood that she wanted to keep Ingrid safe but I hoped she wouldn't try and stop us doing anything.

Ten minutes later Ingrid came back ready for school so all three of us ran out the house to make sure we weren't late. We managed to get to school just as the bell rung so we weren't that late into class.

"Guys hurry up," Mr Delonge said.

"Sorry, sir," all three of us said as we took our seats.

"Right today is what we call Personal Development class so we'll be staying in here for first lesson. Usually we're supposed to fill out booklets but I don't see the point in that crap so I'll just put some music on and you can do what you like," Mr Delonge said and smiled.

We were so lucky to have him as our teacher! He sat at his computer and put on some Guns N Roses. None of the other kids knew the songs but me, Ingrid, Jack and Holly did. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Mr Delonge shouted.

A guy walked in with dark hair and a Northlane shirt on.

"Hi, I'm Jamie. I'm new," he told Mr Delonge.

"Oh okay, you can sit with Ingrid, Alex, Holly, Millie and Jack over there," Mr Delonge said to him.

Jamie walked over here and sat down, then Holly, Millie and Jack spammed him with questions.

[Holly's POV]

This new guy was cute. Me, Millie and Jack were pretty much interrogating him when he stopped us.

"Was I dreaming or was that Tom Delonge?" He whisper-shouted.

"Yeah it was," I giggled.

He liked bands too! Yay! This school was pretty much perfect apart from Bethany and Jessica. I'd heard about the fight between Ingrid and them and I was not happy. I'd kind of gone into super-protective mode since then, I still felt ill but I wasn't going to let Ingrid come to school without me today. We spent ages talking to Jamie when the bell rang and it was time for next lesson.

[Ingrid's POV]

After the guys had decided Jamie was worthy of friendship, we walked to our next class. I had history with Gerard so I said goodbye to the guys and we walked over to class. We waited outside for a while and surveyed the rest of the class. They all seemed okay and it turned out Frank and Jenna were in our class too so we had more friends to talk to. Then, our teacher arrived.

"In you go class," Mark Hoppus said.

"Nope nope nope, so done, too many band members for me to handle," I babbled as we walked in.

Gerard laughed at me as we were given our seats. I was sat at the back next to Frank and a girl called Hayley. Gerard and Jenna sat in front of us.

"Okay class my name is Mr Hoppus and I'm your history teacher for this year so try and have fun yeah?" He smiled.

Frank laughed at me as I had a little hyperventilating fangirl fit.

"You make me laugh Ingrid," he said.

"Haha thanks, glad I'm a source of entertainment," I chuckled.

That lesson we learnt about America in the 50's and 60's, one of my favourite time periods. I didn't shut up to Frank about how much I loved it but he didn't seem to mind.

"They had nice cars didn't they?" He asked me.

"Yes oh my God, they were so nice," I said, "big with whitewall tires and uhh just beautiful."

Gerard heard me and started laughing with Frank.

"What?" I asked, pouting at them.

"You," Gerard chuckled.

"What about me?" I questioned.

"You're such a tomboy and it's great," Frank said.

I blushed, no one had ever liked that about me.

"Thanks," I smiled at them.

"You like cars right?" Gerard asked.

"Yup," I replied and popped the 'P'.

"What's your favourite kind of car?" He asked.

"Well I just love muscle cars, the old ones and the new ones like Corvette Stingrays and Chevy Camaros but then I really like Lamborghinis and-"

"Quiet at the back, get on with your work," Mr Hoppus said.

Oops, little bit too loud.

"I like Mustangs," Jenna whispered.

"Me too!" I told her, "the older ones especially."

"Yeah," she smiled, "you like my t-shirt?"

She turned to show me her orange shirt with a red Mustang on it.

"Sick man," I said which made Gerard and Frank laugh again, "guys seriously you need to stop laughing at how I act!"

"Sorry," Gerard said chuckling.

"It's cute," Frank said quietly.

I turned to look at him but he acted as if he'd said nothing. Hm.
