HEY SORRY I'VE BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG SO MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AND I'VE BEEN SUPER BUSY BUT IM TRYING TO GET BACK INTO WRITING HERES THE SECOND CHAPTER 

Alexis's Pov 

I walk into my first class, art. When I was little I didn't have much to do except read and listen to my parents fight so I became kind of a smart kid and I learned a lot of different talents to drown out the noise of my parents. I sit down in the back of the class and get out my sketch pad and my headphones and put on Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings and start drawing (what shes drawing above) I have both headphones in so I don't realize someone sat down next to me. I flinch as someone taps on my shoulder trying to get my attention, I turn to the person, keeping my head down and hair on my face as I take out my headphone. I didn't look up but I noticed the person had a heartbeat tattoo on the inside of his wrist

"Hey, do you mind if I sit here?" I recognized the voice immediately, Jason.

Looking back at my drawing I nod, he's really cute, his eyes are so vibrant like an ocean I would get lost in them if I looked into them for too long. I continue drawing, glancing once in a while at what Jason was doing. He got out a sketchbook with all these cool drawings on them, then opened to a page and started drawing someone. He kept glancing at me making me blush, and didn't talk which I appreciated. Halfway through the class though he handed me a note.

hey I know you're shy but I really want to get to know you, you seem nice, also your drawing skills are impossibly amazing. :)

I looked at him through my hair and saw him smiling at me, what if he's just messing with me? Maybe I should, no one actually wants to get to know me so maybe I can get to know him and if I don't like it I can just leave. Right? I take a deep breath in and out then prepare to talk but nothing comes out and I just sit there gaping like a fish. Instead of talking I get my pencil and write him a note.

you know my name already...what more do you need to know?

I give him the note with my hand shaking and continue my work waiting for the answer, he hands it back folded, I open it and one word is in all caps directly in the middle of the page.

EVERYTHING

I look at him and smile slightly.

"I...I" I blush flustered that I can't even speak correctly, I make a grab for my pencil but instead it falls out of my hand onto the floor me and Jason both bend down to get it a bump heads. He lifts his head up and giggles as I slowly lift up my head with a sorry look on my face.

"Hey its fine, here's your writing utensil my lady," he says bowing in his seat, I giggle slightly as I take the pencil.

"Your giggle is cute" I blush as I start writing.

Here's my number I do better texting than I do talking.

603-3454-6543

I pass over the letter to him smiling slightly and look back down and continue doing my work I realize now that my heart is going faster than normal and its almost beating out of my chest. why does this happen? He is just a boy. It's probably just nerves.

----------------

After school, I walk home and as soon as go to unlock the door I hear people yelling and arguing inside. I decide to wait before I unlock the door and eavesdrop in on them.

"HOW CAN I? YOU'RE ALWAYS AT WORK! YOU'RE NEVER HOME!" my mom yells.

"I have a lot to do at the office we're starting a new project that is taking longer than I thought it would," my dad says calmly. I turn my back to the door and slid down it sitting on the ground.

"I MAKE U BREAKFAST THAT'S NEVER EATEN!" 

"Just give it to Alexis" he reply's still calm, I'm sitting there just waiting for him to break.

"She won't eat it she always has to rush out the door." there's silence for a few seconds.

"Can't you just be home for breakfast or just be home more?" mom asks in a pleading tone.

"NO!... LOOK I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO AND YOU ARE GETTING IN THE WAY OF IT, YOU ARE THE REASON IM NOT HOME" he snapped.

I was so immersed in the fight that I didn't notice someone in front of me until the person tapped my shin with their foot, I look up and a tear drops from my eye that I didn't know was there as soon as I felt it drop I tried wiping it away.

"Hey Alexis are you o..." he started to ask but I cut him off.

"I'm fine" I quickly spit out.

"Are you sure? You're sitting outside with the key in the door" he points to the key with a black lanyard I stand up and look down with my hair covering my eyes.

"I'm sure...t..thanks I have to uh go..d..do homework" With that, I turn around to unlock the door, rush inside, shut the door behind me and run to my room without a word to my parents.
