Chipping A Nail Is The Least Of My Problems

"So what do you think about this book Rose?" Alex asked with a smug look on his face. I would be that lucky to get stuck with him as a partner in English! Stupid teacher!

"When you go to hell..." I smiled sweetly at him. "Don't forget to take your bad haircut with you!" Alex ran a hand through said haircut that was actually beautiful hair with very precise and neat spiked up.

"I don't like it either. What do you think of the characters?"

"I hate you." Was my simple reply. Who knows, he might actually realise that I don't like him and then leave!

"They are pretty boring, I must admit." He turned to me and looked me in the eyes. His amazing eyes stole my breath away for a second before I realised that he had asked me a question and was now smirking at me.

"I hate you!" Alex now had a knowing look in his eyes, as if he knew what I was thinking. I just glared at him.

He stared at me for the next 10 minutes without looking away once. Not even when the teacher asked him a question then congratulated him when he gave an excellent answer.

I'd had enough. "Stop staring at me will you! It's off putting and I'm trying concentrate. Go hang around with Shelley or someone. They're more your people aren't they?"

He stiffened and he became defensive while his gaze went blank with no readable emotion on it. "What do you mean my people?"

"Brainless barbies and kens who don't have to worry about anything from grades or money because mummy and daddy with give them everything they want, including good grades."

He didn't say anything for a moment and I thought he might actually leave. But no. "Is that why you're not wearing your own clothes? Because you can't afford them?"

That made me nervous. How did he know I wasn't wearing my own clothes? Then the fury came. He thinks I'm not good enough for him again! Not rich enough for him! How dare he!!

"I've not got my own clothes because you took most of them in the cases and I wasn't going home in case you were there!" I needed to calm down.

I started fiddling with the cross on my bracelet and looked to the board at the front of the class, instead of at Alex.

"So you're either nervous or angry and trying to calm down. I'm betting you're trying to calm down." Alex commented, clearly amused.

"What are you..." I didn't get to finish my sentence because of his deep inhale of breath through shock.

"Where did you get that from?" He asked in a strained voice as he eyed my wrist.

I pulled my hoody over the bracelet to hide it completely from his view and refused to answer his question. My bracelet had absolutely nothing to do with him and he could get stuffed if he thought that I was going to answer him.

"How long have you had that?" He asked instead and continued to look at my wrist as if he could see through my jacket's sleeve straight to the bracelet.

"What my wrist? Well I'm 18 now so I would say 18 years now." I replied and tried to blank him.

"You don't realise the significance of that bracelet you are wearing if it is the bracelet that I think it is. So just answer my questions then let me have a look at it and it will all be ok. Ok?" He held out his hand with palm open, ready to accept the bracelet that there was no chance he was going to get.
