Star-Crossed

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX.

SKY

After a months of home schooling myself, I decided that it was time to go back to school.

It was June now, there was no way these people were still talking about a video from January, right?

So I got up in the morning, put one of my tracksuits on, grabbed a smoothie my mother made and skateboarded to school.

The only person I was excited to see what Alexander. Obviously.

I still hadn't told him about my acceptance letter. I figured that I'd much rather tell him when school ended and pretend I didn't know.

My plan was going to work.

Once I made it in the school, people stared but not as hard as four months ago.  

I hurried to my English class where I had Alexander and Elena.

In the left wing of the school, the old basketball team that consisted of Eric's friends, were there.

I was too far ahead to turn around so I just picked up my pace and walked ahead.

They were chuckling a little, but that still hurt.

Being in this school overall was hard because it hurt to walk in the hallways and being looked at by eyes that have seen me have sex with Alexander.

I made it to class, where Alexander and Elena looked up at me.

Elena gave me a bright smile and Alexander gave me his inviting smirk.

"I missed you!" Elena squealed before wrapped her arms around me. I felt my throat start to close because I haven't been able to see her that much, but she had been there for me through the whole thing.

"I missed you too." I smiled down at her.

Alexander, who had been telling me how boring school had been without me for five months.

He leaned back against his chair and spread his legs apart, his signature way of telling me to come sit on his lap.

The teacher wasn't there yet so I sat sideways on his lap and let him pepper kisses on my face.

"Ugh." Elena groaned beside us, and I gave her a glare, as her and Justin would do much worse next to us.

"You alright?" Alexander asked me.

"Yes."

"Has anybody messed with you?"

"No, Alexander." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The teacher then came in so it was my cue to sit on my own chair.

Ms. Braxton smiled as soon as she saw me. "Good to have you back, Sky."

I smiled before looking down at my desk. This wasn't like my old school, and I was happy about that.

"Okay, last one. What are the three neurons?" I asked Alexander.

We were in my room, on the carpeted floor and studying for the Nervous system quiz he had the next day for Biology class.
