"We meet again" the guy with black hair who I had bumped into last time I had snuck out said. "Yeah, thank you" I said. "for what?" he asked. "saving my life" I said. "you had a handle on it, I just happened to be here at the same time" he said. "still thanks" I said. "where are you suppose to be?" He asked. "asleep" I said. "You're still shaking" He said. "yeah" I said. "here let me give you some tea, you can't go home like this" he said. "I don't know" I said. "don't worry I won't try anything on you, I promise" he said and we walked into the elevator.

"I never got your name?" He said. "Alexa" I said,"Alexa Marquez" I said and stretched out my hand. "Markus Delaberti" he said and shook my hand. "How old are you?" Markus asked once we got out of the elevator. "guess" I said. "eighteen," Markus said. "sure" I said. "are you really?" Markus asked. "Sure" I said and again. "okay im going to go with that" Markus said,"I'll tell the judge you told me you were eighteen when I get arrested" Markus said. "Anyways what a nice apartment" I said trying to change the subject. "Thanks" Markus said. "Do you live alone or do you have a secret wife and kids" I asked. "A secret wife no, kids? maybe, who knows" Markus said. "Aren't you careful with your work?" I asked. "yes" Markus said,"but you never know" Markus said. "Ha wow" I said and laughed. "do you have a favorite tea?" Markus asked. "green tea, with two of sugar" I said. "got it" Markus said and walked off.

I took a seat on his couch and looked around. The walls were painted white and the furniture was black. "here you go" Markus said and handed me a cup of tea. "thank you" I said and he took a seat next to me. "Did you just move here?" Markus asked. "yes" I said. "where'd you move from" Markus asked. "San Diego" I said. "why would you move from San Diego to here?" Markus asked. "I came to live with my uncle" I said. "why?" Markus asked. "you ask so many questions" I said. "hey I just want to be informed" Markus said. "curiosity killed the cat" I said. "Okay, okay so what kind of music do you like?" Markus asked. "rock, all kinds of rock, metal, alternative, indie and punk," I said. "really?" Markus asked. "yes" I said. "me too" Markus said. "not even" I said. "here I'll show you" Markus said and plugged his phone into the speakers. "I right songs about you all the time, but I bet I don't run through your mind" "ohmygod I love real friends" I said. "what about neck deep?" Markus asked. "yes" I said. "the pretty reckless?" Markus asked. "do you seriously like the pretty reckless?" I asked. "yes" Markus said. "I've never met another person who has liked the pretty reckless!" I said. "Favorite song?" Markus asked. "Hit me like a man and light me up" I said. "me too, those and make me wanna die" Markus said. "me too!" I exclaimed.

We spent the rest of the morning talking.

"crap it's six am" I said as I checked my phone,"I gotta go to school" I said and got up. "wait give me your number so we can continue talking" Markus said. "okay" I said and gave him my number. "see you later?" Markus asked. "yes" I said and headed towards the door. "bye" I said and waved as I walked out. "bye" Markus said.

I walked up the stairs and ducked behind a plant. "shit" I whispered as I saw Antonio walk out of the apartment. Luckily he hadn't seen me. As soon as he was out the door I got up and walked into the apartment.

I looked at the clock, it was seven fifteen. I barley had time to get ready.

I took off my clothes and changed into a black The Vamps t-shirt with a pair of black joggers. I fixed my hair and placed a black beanie on my head. I slipped on a pair of blue socks that went up to my mid calf. I slipped on a pair of grey Bailey Uggs with two grey bows on the back. I grabbed my grey oversized knit cardigan and swung my bag over my shoulder. I locked the door and walked down the stairs.

I arrived to my first hour twenty minutes later than usual. "Welcome" Mr. Gale said very nonchalantly. I quickly sat in my desk and felt a tap on my shoulder. "hey" Aron said. "hey I didn't know you were in my class" I said. "I wasn't here on your first day" Aron said. "oh" I said. "why were you late?" Aron asked. "long story" I said. "lunch?" Aron asked. "yes" I said and turned around.

I looked over and saw Brayden look at me but quickly turn back around. I took in a deep breath and turned the page in the book.

"Okay tell us" Aron said as we took a seat at the lunch room. "what happened?" Zelda asked. "so on the way back to my apartment I almost got jumped, I made a run for it, I ran into my building and I bumped into this guy, his name is Markus and he basically saved my life, we started talking and I was there until six. And so that's why I was late" I explained. "oh is he cute?" Zelda asked. "Yeah, he's really nice but he's like twenty" I said. "shit that's illegal" Michael said. "we're not dating, we just hung out" I said. "For now" Aron winked. "Hey let's hang out after school" Zelda said. "At four" Aron said. "where at?" I asked. "I'll pick you up" Zelda said. "alight see you guys after school" Michael said and we got up and walked off to our next class.

In math class I took my seat and saw Miguel and Lamar whisper to themselves. They gave me a look and then went back to talking among themselves.

I felt a chill run up my spine and I drew in a quick breath, I did not have a good feeling about this.
