**Alexis' POV**

I woke up to the beeping sound of my phone.
Who the hell is texting me at this time of the night disturbing my sleep
I tried to ignore it but it beeped again _aarrrggg
I opened one eye only to realize it was sunny outside _wait what's the time?

8:15 AM!

What the fuck! I screamed

"language young lady " I heard my dad say as he was passing by my door. I ignored him and run to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
How did that even happen?
Well done Alexis ,you have really outdone yourself this time _sleeping from yesterday noon but you still managed to wake up late for school? wow Alexis bravo
I mentally scolded myself

I quickly got dressed and rushed down stairs to pack my lunch _where did I leave my bag pack again?

"it's on the kitchen counter "mom said as if reading my mind

"thanks mom "I run for it and found my lunch was already packed _talk about the best mother in the world!

"thanks mom I love you so much so much so much "I grinned and started making kissy faces,mom laughed and I joined in

"you are welcome love now get going dad's waiting for you outside "she said waving at me

"bye mom"i said while running out of the house

I got in the car and fastened my seatbelt

"morning dad" I greeted while fixing my hair

"someone's late on their second day "he chuckled softly pulling into the road

"unfortunately, now would you please step on it ?" I pleaded though knowing fully well that I will regret it_hello I'm late

"I thought you would never ask " he smirked and with that we were flying on the road _sweet Jesus have mercy on me I know I might have done some evil things but please accept me in your kingdom _yes I'm giving a prayer in fear that I might die in a car crash and burn in hell

"uuh what are you doing "my dads voice brought me back to reality and I opened my eyes only realising I had closed them

"uuh I was praying for God's mercy incase you crashed us both...did you see how you were moving? I'm surprised we're still alive " I replied and he burst out laughing _what the hell

"Alexis get going before you crack my ribs "he said still laughing and holding his stomach to control his fits.
I looked out the window and realized that we were already in front of the school _holy cow how did that happen?talk about having a cop as a father

"see you after school dad" I said getting out of the car and making a run for class _so freaking late
I got my phone and looked at the time then I suddenly hit into a hard object dropping my phone _can this day get any worse?

"what the fuck? watch where you're going next time " he said as I was trying to pick my phone praying that it wasn't badly damaged_phew! It's okay

Wait...I've heard that voice before

I looked up and boom! It was him
Yes the 'who the hell is she and what is she doing in my seat ' hunk
Please don't freak out Alexis just act cool

"mhm" I cleared my throat _really Alexis jeez

"aah I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and... and I didn't see you coming " I tried to explain but he just stood there looking at me _Oookay now what next?

"once ag_"

"it's okay, it's not entirely your fault "he finally spoke cutting me shot

"thanks, I have to go now " I said and walked away not waiting for his response
I could feel his eyes drilling holes on my back but I wouldn't dare look back.
Finally reaching class I opened the door softly and discovered that Miss Brown wasn't there _great now everyone is staring at me
I quickly sat on the empty seat in the front row not wanting yesterday's events to occur again today. Talking of yesterday's events, I was right about him being disoriented and all that just that today I saw bruises on his knuckles and a cut on the corner of his bottom lip. The bags under his eyes were still there and today they appeared to be darker than yesterday.
What could be wrong with him?
Was he involved in a fight? an accident perhaps?
What was going on in his life that made him look so restless?
I wish I had the answers _it's non of your business Alexis now focus
As if on cue Miss Brown walked in and started teaching. I made sure to pay attention and took a few notes on the most important things.
