The Story Of Us

Chapter 4

*Alexis' POV*

"Dude, what was that?!" Olivia practically screamed at me once we got to our homeroom. We were standing right outside the door and a few people in the hallway and in the class looked over at us. I blushed a little from the small amount of attention and then smacked her arm.

"Do you have to be so loud?" I rolled my eyes. "And that was... it was nothing." I hesitated because it wasn't just "nothing". It was something. I just didn't know what exactly.

She squinted her eyes at me, obviously not believing me. I knew she was about to start questioning me, but as soon as she opened her mouth our teacher, Ms. Johnson, came to the door.

"Ok ladies. Time to come inside." she smiled.

We walked in and went to our seats in the back. Ms. Johnson started to take attendance. Olivia got out a piece of paper and started writing on it. After a few seconds she handed it to me.

Tell me what was going on in your head. Yall looked at each other for a lil minute..

I sighed and wrote back.

Idk.. it was just a look. Nothing serious.

She read it and then looked at me with a do-you-think-I'm-stupid face. I laughed a little bit and then mouthed "I'll tell you later." She nodded and then said "here" just as the teacher called her name.

"Alexis Faith?"

"Here." I said. I heard a little grunt and I looked around. I didn't see anyone unusual so I just shrugged it off.

Ms. Johnson finished and then we were allowed to talk freely. As I talked and laughed with Olivia, I kept feeling like there was someone watching me, but everytime I looked around I saw no eyes on me or anyone that looked suspicious. I was kind of afraid but I felt somewhat safe, too. The bell rang for our first period so we left and Olivia and I went our seperate ways since we had a different first period. I walked into my English class to see someone talking to the teacher. I froze looking at the tall figure with the familiar black and grey plaid shirt. Just then Mr. Sanchez looked up and smiled, gesturing for me to.come over. As he did that, the mystery boy turned around and looked at me. My heart skipped about 2 beats as I took in his look again. He looked even better with the sun shining in from the window behind him, making me feel like I was dreaming.

"Alexis, this is James Hale. James, this is one of my best students, Alexis Faith."
