Tomboy Til Death (Or worse)

One word to describe Alex? Tough.

She was the kind of tough where you could throw a baseball at her head and without a stutter she'd invite you over while she got an ice pack. She'd bring you and all your friends snacks then brush off your constant apologies and hit your shoulder. Alex was also the kind of tough where that hit would almost knock you off your feet. And while you were standing there thinking about this tough girl, she'd chase people away.

One word to describe Alexandria? Broken.

She was the kind of broken where she'd smile and pull at her sleeves. She'd hide her cuts, the bruises down her arms, she'd flinch and back away at your slightest step. She'd never eat at lunch or change in the locker rooms. Alexandria also looked terrified in the dress stores her sisters pulled her into. And while her sisters pulled and tugged at her, calling her vicious names, her mother would smile.

Alex was always different.
