"Alexa. Alexa Chung is my name and I recently moved from Privett here. I'm 18 years old and yeah I think that's all to say right now." She looked at Mr. Mitchell and went to sit directly next to Alex. "Hey" she said to him as she took a notebook out of her bag. "Hey" Alex whispered. He would have never thought that she would sit next to him without being forced to. "What's your name?" She tried to have a conversation with him but Alex was too shy to give answers and he just stumbled around, not able to speak properly. "Alex is my name" he finally said. God she must think I'm stupid. Well, I kind of am because I can't get a fucking sentence out of me mouth Alex thought. "Funny your Alex and I'm Alexa. We could made a pair, couldn't we?" She giggled. Alex just smiled. "Could you show me around school? I don't know anything here and where my classes are. That would be really nice of you" she asked. "Sure" he replied.
"Alex and Alexa could you please be quiet? I know You're new but please follow the lesson and talk later." Mr. Mitchell said. He wasn't angry at them. He liked Alex and he is his best student in class but he don't want to give his other students permission to talk. Included Alex and the new student Alexa.
"Sorry" both said. They stayed silent the rest of the lesson.

Break

Alex showed Alexa around. Told her where the ladies room is, where her main class room and the cafeteria is and where he and his friends usually go for a smoke.
"Alex who is this?" Nick asked as they approached them.
"Alexa. She is new at our school and I showed her around a bit. Alexa this is Matt, Nick and Jamie" Alex pointed at them and all of them stood up and gave her a hand shake.
"Nice to meet you" Nick said as he sat down again.
"Nice to meet you all too. I'm really happy I sat next to Alex he is really nice and I didn't want to sit next to all these fake girls or other boys that just drew all over you. Disgusting." She sat down as well and grabbed her pack of cigarettes out of her bag. "Does anyone have a lighter. I think I lost mine."
"We can trade. I give you my lighter and you give me a cigarette" Alex said holding his lighter to her. "Deal" they exchanged cigarette for lighter and both of them were happy.
"So Alexa where are you from and what brought you to sheffield?" Matt asked.
"My parents recently decided to move here from Privett. I'm actually starting my model career but my mum forced me to finish the last year of school. That's why I'm here." She said letting the smoke out. Nick sat there with his mouth open "A model? Like a real model with all the runway catwalk shows?"
"Yes sweety. But I'm not famous yet. I hope I will be one day, but I just started like a year, a year and a half ago. It's just so much fun" she giggled. "Wow.. just.. wow" Jamie looked at her with big eyes "I think it's cool tha' you want to do what makes you happeh" Alex said looking at her with a big smile. "Easy tiger you have a boyfriend" Matt said. Alex was leaning really close to her. "Boyfriend? How sweet! Is anyone else here in a relationship?" She looked at all of them. Jamie and Matt nodded and Nick just shook his head. "My girl is just coming here" Matt began "Hey Breana come here I want you to meet somebody" he called her.
Breana walked by and immediately hugged Alexa "Hey I'm Breana" She said. "Alexa, nice to meet you" Alexa laughed. "So you're new at our school? Where are you from?" Breana took the cigarette from Matt and took a drag. "Privett, just moved here because of my parents." Alexa replied as usual. "Nice. You look absolutely stunning by the way. You should be a model"
Alex smiled grew bigger, he grinned as he saw the shocked expression of Breana's face "Are you kidding? Don't tell me she's a model"
"Yes I am but I'm not famous or something." Alexa looked her up and down " You should be a model too. Maybe I can talk to my manager and they can bring you into the business as well" She said. "No fucking way" Breana was shook. "Yeah why not. Would be fun shooting with you some time"
They talked until the break was over. The next class was biology which Alex and Alexa had together. They had almost everything together except for art and music. She had the same subjects but unfortunately not with him.
They sat together in the last row in the room as usual.
"Hey why do you Always sit alone in classes?" Alexa asked him. She didn't understand why nodoby would want to sit next to him. She found him really funny and smart. Why would someone have a problem with him?
"Yeah.. people tend to not like me as much because they say I'm weird and yeah.. you know.. I'm bisexual and people just aren't supportive of that. So.. some avoid me.. some just are mean but yeah.. it hurts sometimes, if they say things like 'oh watch out here comes the fag' or summat but what should I do? In one year everything will be over and I'm going to university and I won't see them ever again. Or even if I did, I hope some people grow up and leave their childish behaviour behind." Alex spoke. He didn't know why he was so open to Alexa. They've known each other literally half a day, but Alex has a kind of weird feeling about her. He liked her so much and she sure was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. She was one of a kind and that's what has brought interest in Alex. He was mesmerized by her presence. In some moments, at that day, he could just look and listen to her talking all day long. And then it hits him as the thought about his boyfriend. Alex shouldn't think about her that way.

"Wow. You're right but I just don't understand why people would think like that. They don't know you and you seem like an interesting person and if they don't want to get to know you, it's really just their problem. They're missing out on something great." Alexa said as she hugged him.

School's over

Both of them packed their stuff together and left the building. They walked down the path from the school to the parking lot. 
"Where do you live in Sheffield?" Alex asked. Maybe they have the same way and they could walk together. " Wellesly road something, you?" She said.
"Oh that's quite near me! I live in the Palmerston road. So we have the same way back home." Alex was excited that he got to spend more time with her.
"That's quite nice!" She smiled.
"Yeah I can pick you up tomorrow in the morning and we can meet Matt, too. We're always walking to school because the bus is too full and you usually don't find space in the parking lot, if you have a car like Matt does. So he likea to walk with me." Alex offered. "Yes thank you. So when do I have to be ready tomorrow? And give me your phone so I can give you my number to send you my correct address."
Alex gave her his phone and she tiped in her name and number and sent himself a message to her so she had his number, too.
"Thank you"
"No problem"
They talked the whole way about music and what they like to do in their free time. They hugged goodbye and went their separate ways until next time.
