Bullworth Academy

Don't Double-Cross Me

                          Cassandra gasped as Johnny cringed, "damn," he said under his breath. Ms. Windsor quickly ran to Alex's side. She took her head in her lap and her wrist in her hands. She felt for a pulse, she was still breathing. She was just unconscious. Cassandra jumped down the bleachers, johnny following behind her. She fell to the ground beside her twin's unconscious body. She leaned her face towards her and rapidly tapped her cheek. "Alex wake up. Wake up, Alex!" She shouted. Alex moaned but didn't budge. Ms. Windsor hoisted Alex over her shoulder and took her to her dorm.

             After a few hours, Alex woke up. "Did I win?" She aimlessly looked around her room as if she had never seen the place before. "Oh, thank goodness you're awake." Cassandra said pulling her twin into a tight hug. "How do you feel?" Cassandra said moving her twin's messy hair out of her face. "I'm fine. I'm fine." Alex nodded in a bothered tone. "Are you sure? You took some pretty hard hits.." Johnny started. "I said I'm fine!" Alex raised her voice. "It was just a simple black out. Nothing I can't handle.." she said standing up and stretching. Alex walked to the bathroom and searched through the through the draws for her medication. "Cassandra? Alex? Can someone let me in?" Ted shouted from the door. Johnny opened the door and let Ted in. As soon as he caught sight of his beloved, he took no hesitation to sweep her off her feet. "Alex are you ok?" He asked looking at her face. "I'm fine. I'm fine." She smirked at his worry. "Wait, you've got a bruise. Hold up," Alex smacked his hand away from her eye. "I'm fine Ted!" She raised her voice. Alex swallowed a couple pills and hopped off the counter. She turned to the mirror and applied concealer around her eye. "I just want to forget about what happened, ok? It's just sorta of embarrassing.." she said. "I'm sorry. You just had me worried.." Ted said. "Why worry? I can take care of myself. Come on. I'm going into to town.." Alex said throwing on a jacket. "I can't. I got practice down at the field. I just wanted to stop by." He said walking down the hall. Alex stopped and sighed, "Well fine. I'll see you tomorrow then will I?" She gave him a tiresome look before kissing him goodbye. She continued out of the dorm anyways. 

She decided since she hasn't seen him in a while, might as well pay him a visit. She entered the boy's dorm and turned right. "Hopkins, open up!" She raised her voice while pounding on the door. The door opened to see Gary. "Coming to seduce Hopkins are we?" "Looks like you've beat me to it pal." Alex raised her eyebrows. "Yet I'm still waiting.." Gary said passing by her. Not without a sly pinch to her rear end making her have a little pep in her step. "Hey, Alex arises from the dead. What's up?" Jimmy says opening his arms for a hug. "I may have taken a beating but I haven't completely changed." She joked. Hopkins put his arms down and slouched in the desk chair. Alex crashed on his bed. "See you're still hanging out with that maniac." "Yeah, he's got plans to sabotage the winter formal next week.." Jimmy said. "Winter formal? That's next week already?" Alex asked. Jimmy nodded. Alex sighs and rolls over. "I hate this school" she shouted into his covers. "That's makes two of us," he smirked. 

Jimmy and Alex left the dorm to walk around. Everyone stared as Alex walked by as if she rose from the dead. It didn't matter to her, it wasn't a big deal. As they walked, Algie practically fell into Alex's arms. He was spatting out something about Bucky, the autoshop. Without Alex's understanding, Jimmy agreed to the deal and asked if she was in. "Wait, what do we get out of it?" She asked. "I don't know.." "how about letting me into your little cult," she asked. "Fine, if you get him back, I guess I can just negotiate with Earnest." He said. He left go of Alex and she ran towards the auto shop. There was a cacophony of sound from behind the door. "It's not gonna open. Give me a boost, Hopkins." She said. She placed her hands on his shoulder as he got down to help her and boosted her up. Alex scales the side of the brick wall lining the gate. "What about me?" He said. "Alex?" He called out a second time. There was no response. There was a loud bang and a ladder dropped by the side of the garage. Jimmy climbed up and over the roof. They ran towards the sounds. "Shh, stay low. I'm going down," Alex jumped off the roof and casually opened the garage. The greasers surrounded Bucky like wild dogs. "Hey!" Alex said but she was ignored. "HEYYY!!" She shouted louder but to no avail. Alex kicked the garage door, leaving a huge dent in it. Everyone turned around. "What the hell is going on?" Alex asked. "We found this dweeb lurking around on our territory." Peanut said. "Yeah, we thought we'd just teach him a lesson not to come around here." Norton pounded his fist into his hand. Bucky quivered while clutching a skateboard to his chest. "You guys, he clearly came for some parts for his board. He's obviously taking after your wisdom on rides. Let the kid be." Alex ran her fingers through her hair and huffed. "What's the harm in letting him fix his board?" She asked but no one answered. "My point is. This was a temporary thing. With as much as you guys scared him shitless. I don't think he's coming back." Alex said while slowly approaching them. "Move," she demanded as she moved Vance and Peanut. She grabbed Bucky by his arm startling him. She dragged him around the corner.
