A L E X I S

We walked to the cafeteria in silence, neither of us talking to each other. The hallways were filled with people chattering away with each other, as some were stealing glances at us.  

It's been a few days since I received that note, I chucked it into my room and quickly forgot about. It was probably just a prank, or maybe it was a threat? It doesn't matter anymore, it's just a piece of paper.

"Alexis" A finger snapped in front of my face, making me stop day dreaming.

"What?" I said rubbing my eyes with my fingers.

"Stop hurting the table" I look down to see me gripping hard on the table, my knuckles turning white.

"Shut it Levi"

I grabbed a chair and leaned back, putting my hood up. It was now lunch, meaning that I have 1 hour to sleep. These past days I've been having 2-3 hours of sleep a day, the nightmares come worse and worse everyday. 

Not finding the chair comfortable, I grabbed 3 chairs and placed them close to each other, creating a long bench. I laid down on the chairs, with my back facing down. I feel someone gently lift my head up and place it on their lap. Not caring who they are, I try to fall asleep.

"Princess"

"hmmm"

"Wake up"

"No"

"Princess"

I put my hands in front of my face, shielding my eyes from the light. The middle chair ends up tipping over, making me fall down between the chairs. Andrea me up from the ground and places me upright. I open my eyes as they try to adjust, as I see Andrea silently laughing at me.

I roll my eyes and grab my phone from the table, the cafeteria is now silent with no one in sight. "Where is everyone else?" I ask as I try to find food inside my bag, which I ended up finding a granola bar. 

"Its 4 o clock now" My eyes widen and I start to choke on my bar, Andrea is trying to help me by patting my back. He hands me a bottle of water and I chug it down quickly, finishing the whole bottle. 

 "4!?"I say though my cough

"Yep and you slept through 2 periods of class" He said while smirking.

"Bloody hell, what the actual fuck? And I didn't even get a nightmare" I said burying my face in my palms. I hear Andrea dragging the chair on the floor as it makes a loud screech.  

"Princess" He gave me a pointed look for my colourful vocabulary.

"Get up, we are somewhere"

"I'm tired" I said while dropping my arms to the ground.

"I said, get up" He sighed. Being the ignorant person I am, I decided to ignore him and try to sleep again.  "Leave me alone" I said while closing my eyes.

"Or we could do this the hard way" Andrea said. He picked me up and placed me on his shoulder, not caring what so ever I tried to fall asleep while hanging off his shoulder upside down. 

He starts walking towards the exit of the school, the hallways were quiet so you could hear his footsteps loud and clear. Andrea plops me down in his car and starts the engine, I tuck my knees close to my chest and look out the window. 

"Where are we going" 

"Somewhere"

"Very specific" I said looking over to him, I see him glance my way but kept his eyes on the road. He chuckled but kept quiet the whole time, the ride was not awkward but there was a weird tension around us. 

The ride was around 40 mins before we stopped, I looked to see we were in the middle of nowhere. Andrea gets out the car, signalling me to do so as well. Sighing I opened the door and got out, being greeted by strong wind making my hair fly everywhere. 

Grabbing my hand, Andrea leads the way by walking down a rocky path. The rocks were wet, making the very slippery. "AHHHHH" my foot got tangled in a vine, leading to me falling forwards. Before I face planted onto the floor, Andrea caught me without effort.

We stare into each others eyes before he broke the silence.

"Be careful princess" He said as he placed my hair behind my ear. Mind you we were still in the same position. I blushed burying my face in his chest, trying to hide my tinted cheeks. 

"Let's go" I suddenly said jumping out of his arms and dragging him forward. I hear Andrea chuckle before shouting.

"you are going the wrong way princess" He walked to the other direction, with me following along. We walk for a good 5 minutes before Andrea stopped, confused I looked up to see....
