Different World, Same Blood

Chapter 1 Loner Lover

Inez POV

I sit on my bed, wishing it wasn't Monday. Its not that I don't wanna go to school, I love school but I don't love the bullies. I can't just run to I pull myself together and leave the safety of my cozy room and walk downstairs to the living room.

"Hi sweetie." my mom says. I smile and sit down. "You ready for school?" off course I never told my parents about getting bullied at school.

"Yep, can't wait." I say smiling. She nods and I watch TV with her for a while before school calls. She drives me there and I enter the main building.

"Inez!" Ashley calls. She the lead bully of school and I'm her prime victim. "Come here." I stop and turn to see her walking towards me. "You got my homework?"

"Yeah, finished and right." I say pulling it out of my bag and handing it to her, She rips it from my hand and looks it through.

"Good work." she smirks and pushes me against the lockers. "Same thing today again and I might leave you alone until......Thursday." I nod and she leaves. I'm such a sucker, I mean I do my bullies homework. I shake my head and walk to the class room. History, my favorite. I sit down and pull my stuff out as the teacher walks in.

"Morning class. Today we're talking about the Civil War." he says. I smile and open my book. "You need a partner to work though." great. I always have to work with the teacher or alone. "Inez? Why don't you work with......Dex."

"Dex? Who's Dex?" I ask.

"Thats me." a voice says from behind. I turn and see a sweet, cute boy with light brown hair and green eyes. "Hi." he holds out his hand.

"Hi." I say taking it. "I'm Inez." he nods and sits down. I feel abit weird and drawn to him but whatever. "Are you new? I've never seen you before."

"Yeah, this is my first day." he says. I nod and look back to my book. "You think you could show me around abit?"

"Sure." I say.

"Mate! Mate!" a voice in my head says. I shake my head and keep writing. "Its your Mate!" the heck is a mate?

"You okay? You seen distracted." he says snapping me from my thoughts.

"Yeah, just thinking about what I should write." I say. He nods and we work for most of the hour until break. We leave the class together and walk to our lockers.

"Thanks for helping me. I'm not so good in History." he says.I smile and nod as Ashley walks by, giving me a dirty look. "Who's that?"

"Ashley. Stay away from her." I say. He nods as the bell rings. I sigh and head to class with him. I feel so accepted with him, so happy. Like I have a friend. After school we leave the main building together. 

"Umm....this is a dumb question but I just got a text from my parents that I should go to my aunt but she's an evil bitch so I was wondering that since we have alot of homework that maybe I could stay at your house. Your parents can call mine and everything." he says. I'm abit over rolled by everything but I nod. We walk to my mom and I explain everything and she said it was okay. We drive to my house and walk inside.

"Welcome to my wonderful house." I say. He smiles and we sit down in the living room. "You want something? A drink or something?"

"No, thank you. Its a beautiful home." he says. My father is a lawyer so we have a big house. Nothing special but still pretty nice.

"Thanks, should we finish our homework?" I ask. He nods and we pull our stuff out and start. "Where are you from?"

"Texas, I grew up there in a small town but my parents wanted a change." he says, eyes not leaving his book. "I like it anyway."

"Thats good, I'm glad. I was born here as far as I know." I say. He looks up and gives me a confused look.

"As far as you know?" he asks. I sigh and lean back.

"I'm adopted." I say quietly. He nods and we get back to working. "Please don't tell anybody at school."

"I won't. I promise." he says. I smile and we finish out work. "So, what can we do?"

"Well, I don't really do anything interesting." I say. He looks around and his eyes rest on the large, full movie stand. 

"We can watch a movie if you want." he says. I nod and we stand up. "May I pick?"

"Sure, why not." I say. He looks for a while and pulls out Friday the 13th.

"How about this?" he asks. I nod and he puts it in than plops down next to me. It does scare me abit and I find myself holding Dex's hand tightly. I jump and pull away.

"Sorry." I say. He chuckles and looks at me.

"Its fine. No problem." he says. I smile and we watch the rest of the movie before heading to bed. I think I fell in love with the new boy but he doesn't love me. But this is the first time I've loved someone.
