Chapter 2 : Where it all started .

So today seems to be what you would call a normal day until my dad offered to drop me off at school I know what you thinking  but that's not cute , there's nothing wrong with that but  see the thing is my dad's the Sheriff on San Marta hill so him dropping me off attracts so much attention and people staring at me is the last thing I want right now after what happened last night . Despite my efforts  to stop him from not dropping me off at school  failed my persistent father wouldn't allow his 18 year old daughter whose at the verge of becoming a full grown woman travel with the school bus or public transport , I know such a sucky life as much I say that being dropped off by my dad is embarrassing the rides  are what's fun we will always sing songs together listen to our favorite radio station for that exact moment  everything feels perfect no fights , arguments , problems etc but as soon as that car stops reality sets back in .

Anyway we on my way to school and it's awfully quiet my dad finally breaks the silence "uhm lexa ? I just wanted to say ...."  I already knew what he was about to say so I turned up the radios volume to cut him off knowing my dad he hates being ignored so in irritation he switched off the radio " lexa ,I'm trying to tell something important here and you just ignoring me " because of the whole thing of my parents ranting about a divorce the relationship or connection with my dad is  slowly fading away and every conversation turns it into a major argument so before he could go further, I spotted my friend Sara ( my best friend) on her way to school  she couldn't have came any sooner ,so to avoid a argument I pointed out "there's Sara I think I'm good here dad I'am going to walk with Sara to school " I could tell he was hurt by the facial expression dad could play tough cop to other people but mom and I see right through that and deep down his a sensitive, over protective , understanding bundle of love so I stepped out the car and called  out Sara she immediately could tell it was me she just stood there  and smiled as I got out the car I felt my dads aura shift he wasn't doing good emotionally so paused for a second and said something I hadn't said in a long time " I love you dad " immediately after I said that a smile emerged and he nodded his head and said " Go get em girl" so I closed the car door  and ran to Sara .

So this is the second day of school after the holidays and I couldn't get more fed up with this school with what happened yesterday yeah my high school life is so crappy but that's okay I got my friends , they are the main reason why I tolerate this school otherwise I would've gotten out this hell hole ASAP! . Sara's been my best friend since the 8th grade , we started off at a wrong foot due to the fact that us being the top achieving students in the grade that caused some sort of "beef" between us but what brought us closer was the most weirdest outcome we both didn't study for some test and failed miserably ironic much  I know but after that day we stopped being at each other's throats about whose the best  and become best of friends .

So I managed to catch up with her "ohayōgozaimasu" she greeted  which means good morning in Japanese, Sara Takahashi is a foreign student all the way from Tokyo, Japan her name's short for Sakura which mean "cherry blossoms " which totally suits her long dark black hair with dyed dusty pink edges and her vibrant personality, Sara is huge fan of anime which is expected seeing that it originates from her county which contributed to her loud and anime like character , for a foreign student her English had improved tremendously one would think she grew up here , when the 8th grade was her first time in a English speaking country other than shes really pretty with her beautiful clear skin and long hair followed by her dark edgy eyes which looked like she had mascara on but her eyes was naturally like that don't get me started with her naturally shaded light pink lips i mean Sara is so gorgeous but sleeps on herself I always asked why she hasn't found anyone to her liking or interested any of the boys in school and she would always answer with some deep proverb like once she said "Love is a despot who spares no one" which means "Love is out to get everybody" which is really deep which got me asking myself when am I going to take life by the horns and actually be interested in someone and go out and make some memories and reminisce to them when I'm old and dying those where my moms exact words,  maybe when I finally stop being weird and get my shit together and stop taking creepy drives in the woods speaking of the woods I wanted to tell Sara about what happened to me last night but she'll just brush it off and say it's probably a dream or I was seeing things yeah that's a big negative, oh! there's only one person who would listen to me and that's Scott brown.

Scott brown is my boy best friend . I know this guy from the very first day I set foot into this world we were born in the same hospital and from that day on our mothers met and become friends making us friends , we went to the same kindergarten together  and from that day onwards we become best of friends even in elementary school , Scott always stood up for me and protected me since kindergarten even thou I was the older one by a day he sure got everyone fooled that he was older , we did everything together we even each other's first kiss yeah that's how close Scott and I are .

Scott came  from a very respected family  the Browns who were known for their successful wood business and providing San Marta when the wood needed for furniture and housing , The Browns owned a huge piece of land deep in the forest where one would say is where the business is located and yes his family is really loaded , speaking of Scott I haven't seen him since school reopened for the new year  , which is unlike him usually his always the person picking up for the first day and Now to think of it I haven't seen or heard about him the whole of the holiday I hope his okay I miss his bright green eyes and big smile and his mouth filled with braces and his curls as well as his dark brown tanned Brazilian-like skin.

Sara and I finally get to school and it's filled with shit heads everywhere I just got here and i already wanna do home and the only person the makes school fun isn't here yet or maybe isn't even coming to school this sucks I wanna do home " Yo !!!! Alexis" yes it's them Scott's friends the group of shit heads more like hot ass shit heads Jackson ,Braden ,Damian, Derrick , Max and lastly Scott aka "The Pack "which is a very weird ass name but boys will always be boys "Goodmorning to you too shit heads " I replied he had a smirk on his face Braden replies " you really gotta stop calling us that " he laughed " she would if you guys would stop acting like shit heads "  Sara added  always backing me up that's my girl " yeah whatever so are you guys ready? For tomorrow night ?" my face covered with confusion "what's happening tomorrow night ?" I asked well because they are w bunch of  shit heads they answered " You'll find out"  anyways since they were here I asked " Uhm has one of you guys heard from Scott I haven't heard from him in a while is he okay? " all of sudden the atmosphere changed as if something was up or had happened I could tell by they body language " well he did say something about going to some trip with family I don't know " Max answered  I know something was up but I let slide .

The bell rang and it was the beginning  for yet another crappy day of school I couldn't help but worry about Scott this so not like him maybe he'll be here during or before register class in other words home room before the boys ,Sara and I could enter the school building we spotted  new faces more like a new group of people paled skin people , Sara asked " who are those guys?" These people looked really weird but like a mysterious kinda way " I don't know but they seem like bad news " said Braden judging by his tone of voice he was really serious I turned to his direction and I could see his facial expression changed is almost as if he saw someone he hated for a very long time , actually all of them had the same expression on their faces they all had their jaws clenched  I looked back at those kids coming out of their fancy sport cars like is there a new wealthy family in San Marta other than the browns and I don't know about it ? Sara added " Alexis we have to get to home room " I snapped out of my thoughts and headed for class .

It's home room and Scotts seat is still empty ,he usually sits in front of me in every class we in together so here am I worried like some lady who has a missing kid when some guy walks Into the class , a tall and well structured paled skinned guy with bright blue eyes, long black straight hair which ended by his neck and a facial structure which only models have , dressed in the most decent clothing a long sleeved pure white shirt and black formal pants followed by black socks pitch black Shoes which looked like doctor martins and my home room teacher Mr Clarkson walked towards him " ah , yes morning class this is Mr William Harrison he will be joining us as our new student who will be part of our class from today onwards " like where did he come from ? I've never seen or heard of him in San Marta hills I look around and every girl in the class is staring at this guy followed by the quietness of the class other than that his really is hot so I don't blame the girls at all he is almost close to perfection do people like this actually exist ? as my head was stuffed with questions our eyes met and locked I quickly put my head down and I could hear his foot steps thanks to the class sharp silence I could tell his coming to my direction, his foot steps stopped and I heard Scott's seat being pulled out , don't tell me his doing what I think his doing I slowly raised my head and there he was seated in Scott Brown's seat what do I do ? What do I say ? Judging by the beautiful scent he gave off , his cologne was really expensive it smelt as if I was really close to him the bell rang and the for first period and Mr Clarkson announced that tomorrow night will be the very first camp night for San Marta high  where the whole school goes out camping in the San Marta forest .
