The Party Scene (A Jalex Fanfiction)

Chapter Two: Guts

Alex's POV:

I stepped off the bus and took a deep breath as I looked at the giant campus that stood before me. I 
started walking when I felt someone’s hand catch me by my hand and I turned around to see the girl from the bus and I raised my eyebrow, "Um...What are you doing?" I felt slightly nervous till I caught her soft smile and her voice caught my attention, "Well I thought since you were new and all you might need someone to show you around, I could take you to the office to get your class list if you want." I nodded and followed her as she walked towards the building.

I shoved my hands into my pockets as I started feeling my anxiety building up like a brick weighing on my chest so I took in a deep breath as Tay showed me to the office. Once I got in I read the name tag that seemed to be stitched into the blue button-down of the slightly skinny blond woman behind the desk. Caroline.  She looked at me with her eyebrows raised and I could see Tay's cheeks growing to be a slight shade of pink after I realized what just happened. The office lady thinks I was checking her out. I mentally face palmed and began to speak, “Um...Sorry, I'm Alexander Gaskarth. I'm a new student here." I could feel her grinning at me, "Well Mr. Gaskarth I hope you won't be checking out too many more of our staff today. You might want to find someone your own age." That was it and I felt my cheeks heating up as Tay cleared her throat, "Um...He needs his class list and I'll take it from there".

I was mentally reminding myself to thank Tay later as the woman handed me my class list and I turned to walk away as I heard Tay mumble something. I looked over my list before speaking, "What did you say?" I stopped and looked at her and she sighed, "I said she thinks she's something because she has two kids, is still skinny, and has big boobs. She’s such a bitch and thinks everyone from the male gender is hitting on her. I really wish she would shut her trap and stop thinking everyone likes her." I bit my bottom lip knowing she probably had bottled all of this in for a while and I did what I knew to comfort someone. I pulled her into a hug. 

"Tay its fine, it was my fault for staring at her name tag. She just took it the wrong way is all." I smiled at her and looked down at my classes, "Um I have first period English, room 212. Lead the way?" She nodded and showed me the way to my class room and I walked in getting all eyes on me. I could see people whispering things about me. I heard some girls call me cute. Most guys called me a fag. Then I heard the teacher speak, "You must be Mr. Gaskarth." I nodded and responded, "Alex, please. Mr. Gaskarth reminds me way too much of my dad." I seen a few girls perk up at the sound of my accent as I started to walk to my seat I felt my hand being tugged on by a girl with dyed red hair and chocolate brown eyes that was sitting in the row before the last row where I was going to sit.

“You’re the new kid that transferred over her from England aren't your?"  I nodded at her and gave a kind smile.  She was kind of hot but I could tell from the looks some of the guys were giving me she was either taken or they just thought the same thing I did hoping to score with her. She had on a pair of tight black skinny jeans and a black button down with a leather jacket that had studs on the shoulders with a pair of black boots to match. I gave her a soft grin and spoke with more of my accent on display than normal, "I'm Alexander Gaskarth but you can call me Alex." 

 "I'm Hayley Williams. I think you know the rest." she smiled and winked at me before letting go and letting me walk back up to the empty seat by the window. I kind of floated off into my own dream land till I head the familiar voice of my teacher, "Mr. Gaskarth...I mean Alex. Care to explain to me what I just said?" The slightly potbellied teacher stood there stroking his grey beard before pushing up his glasses. I refrained from getting blinded by the bald spot that covered most of the top of his head as I read the board, "Romeo and Juliet, it’s a tragic love story. I mean they literally thought they would die without each other so they died with each other. Some people do stupid things for love but honestly no relationship ends in a happy ending." I read the book in eighth grade back in England and it seems as if The mood in the room changed after my statement and I spoke again, "I mean it was tragic but also a very romantic notion that Romeo would take his own life for Juliet and her the same." 

My teacher began to speak but the bell rang and I was out of that classroom before you could say Romeo and Juliet. I started walking before I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist and I turned around to see Tay. She looked up at me quite excitedly and spoke, "You're taking second period PE with me now so follow me Gaskarth." she giggled and I followed her and as soon as I got to the gym that’s when I spotted him. That’s the first time I laid eyes on Jack Barakat.
