No boys.
No distractions.

I told myself trying to convince myself why I had came back to Oakham in the first place. And it wasn't like I had a choice either. After two weeks of my father meeting Will, he spent me back to this hellhole.

I did miss the girls.
But for some reason I didn't miss Will.
The thought of him still probably being with Will, sickened me.

Or was it that I was just nervous.
I knocked the door, with my duffle bag hanging off of my shoulder, and the suitcase in my hand.

As the door opened.
Ms. Trudy answered the door.

"Awe. Alex. Welcome Back. A month was way to long", she said with a greeting smile.

A month. I hadn't even realized, it's been so long.
"Come on. Let's get some food in you and get you ready for school. You don't want to be later then you already are, on your first day back", she said helping me inside, as she grabbed my suitcase.

"The girls?", I asked walking around to notice the house was quiet, which wasn't usual.

"It's 9. They left for school already. And so will you so hurry up", she told me patting my shoulder before heading back into the kitchen.

-

"Welcome Back To Oakham, Ms. Alexandra.", The principal said handing me my schedule.
"I'll have a student walk you to your first period.", He said.

Those words were a reminder of what it was like on the first day here. All the stares, and glances. That's the same thing that will probably happened today.

As I slightly smiled, walking out his office, as a student stood there.
"Alex, right?", He asked me.
"H-how do you know my name?", I asked him.
"The whole school knows your name. People still talk about you, even after you left", he said.

"All bad, right", I said following him down the hallway.

"Not all of them. There's some people who actually like you here", he said.

His voiced faded out as posters of William caught my attention.

I stood almost in the middle of the hallway looking at him, the sight of him annoyed my presence. I honestly didn't want to see him.

I rolled my eyes.
I was doing it again.
Making everything about him and I.
Or what we used to be.
God. Snap out of it.

"I'm sure you know William is the headmaster", he said.
"I'm aware", I said with a tone.
"He's almost as good as his brother", he said.

I turned to him.
"We should get going. Your already late", he said.
"Yeah", I said following him to my first period.

As the door opened, both him and I walked inside, the loud class became quiet.
"Welcome Back To Oakham, Alex. Please take your assigned seats in the back if you will", the teacher told me.

I turned towards the class, I let out a sigh of relief, William wasn't here. Thank God. It would be pretty awkward seeing him.

As I sat in the back, eyes stared at me like they just saw Beyonce walk into the room. As a girl sat next to me.

"hi.. Alex", she said in a sweet soft voice.
"Hey?", I said in confusion.

"I just wanted to tell you.... Your likeee... An inspiration to me", she said.

My face stood still.
Not knowing what expression to use like.
