Sick Little Games (Jalex fanfic)

Eight - Throw away that key I swear he's out to get me

~Alex's P.O.V.~

I get to school on Monday and I haven't stopped thinking about what Jack isn't telling me. He hasn't texted me or called me to tell me yet. I don't know maybe I should just wait until he's ready. But what if he never tells me? What am I supposed to do? I finally get to my locker and unlock it when someone taps on my shoulder. "Hey!" A tall buff guy says to me as I turn around. "Um...Hi?" I say confused and he smiles at me.

"Oh um, I'm Brock! Nice to meet you." He holds out his hand for me to shake. I decide to shake his hand. He seems like a nice guy. "I'm Alex nice to meet you too." I reply smiling. "So I hear you're new around here. Want me to show you around?" He offers. I can't really decline that offer and he seems really nice. "Yeah sure." I say, grab my bags and leave with him down the hallway.

Brock and I have been walking for a while now, him showing me different parts of the school I hadn't seen. We start walking down this corridor I had never been down before and we reach an old door. "This is the music room." He reaches out and pulls open the wooden door. Spider webs. Everywhere. "Um are you sure this is the music room?" I ask walking into the "music" room and looking around. I see this old -broken- piano covered in cobwebs and turn around to Brock.

"Oh yeah yeah! It is! Isn't it cool?" He says walking over to sit on the piano bench. "Um sure so can we like leave now?" I have to admit I'm getting kind of freaked out by this place. Something about it doesn't seem right. "So Alex made any new friends here yet?" He asks me completely ignoring my question. "Um yeah I think so why?" I reply questioning him back. "Just wondering, have you met Jack Baraf-Barakat?" A little thrown off by his question I stand up.

"Why? What do you know?" He is starting to act a little suspicious. "You better stay away from him Alex. He's nothing but trouble." He says seriously. "Why would I listen to you? I barely know you." I point out. "True. You do barely know me but do you know Jack anymore than me? No. Listen Alex I'm just trying to help out a friend." Is he serious? "Are you kidding me? We are no where near friends and you know nothing about me. I can hang around whoever I choose now leave me alone you crazy psychopath."

I say as I start walking towards the door. "Trust me Gaskarth. You do not want to mess with me. So I suggest you stay away from Barafag." He threatens. "I will hang out with him if I want to. IT'S MY LIFE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT." I start yelling. Fed up with his bullshit I'm about to storm out of the old room and go to find Jack when he says "Okay Gaskarth but just remember, I warned you." Bullshit. Something isn't right. I have to find Jack.

I got a little lost on the way but I'm back in the main corridor. Now time to find Jack. I don't know why I care so much about him but I do. I wonder if he feels the same way. No way! If he did he would have told me what he isn't telling me. After yesterday, it will probably seem really awkward if I just went up to him and asked what's going on. I have to find out how to get him alone so he will tell me. Jack is probably already in Math class. I guess I'll head there.
