“You sure you’re okay?”

“Yes Seth, I’m fine” I sigh giving him an annoyed look “Just like the last 20 times you asked...” I mutter under my breath not caring if he heard or not and slide of the bed slowly...

“Yeah, well you did get hit pretty hard...” He says placing his hand under my elbow to ‘help’ me stand up....even thou I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself...

“Yeah you did Lexi...” I turn my head to narrow my eyes at the boy still in the corner, who hasn’t moved and been sat there all this time...

“Yeah and it would have landed on your sister if I didn’t get in the way..” I snap slightly as I glare at him, shaking Seth’s hand off and hold in place the ice pack on my lower back.... “I wish I never even pushed her out the way....”I grunt to myself scowling......so grateful she is...

Seth frowns at me as I ignore his attempt to help me, cus I don’t need it...and I make my way to the door...

“Yeah and I thanked you for that” Noah says standing up with a small smile/smirk on his face “and I’m sure April will again as soon as she sees you...”

“Great...” I mutter as I walk past rolling my eyes, I couldn’t care less now anyway....

Exiting the nurses office I still wince slightly from the pain in my back, there’s gunna be a massive bruise their tomorrow I tell ya.

“What you got next Lex?” Seth asks coming up beside me and handing me my bag – I’ve already changed back into the uniform..obviously having shoved the two guys out the room...

“Uh...urm...” I mutter thinking on what I have next as I sling my bag on my shoulder

“You’ve got Art” Noah suddenly pipes up and I frown at him “with me....” He grins..

I roll my eyes “Fantastic..” I mutter and turn in the direction I need to go

Noticing the look my brother gives Noah as he comes to my side....makes me remember why....

I frown back at my twin, annoyed that he’s still doing this.

Not just him...but the others too........I mean yes, Noah’s annoying –extremely annoying actually – but that doesn’t give them the right to tell me I can’t ‘hang around’ with him....it’s my freaking life!

“You coming?” Noah asks quirking an eyebrow at me looking amused...

Giving one last glance at my brother, with slightly narrowed eyes...I say “Yes...” A sly smirk coming to my face “See you later Seth..” and I turn to walk beside Noah towards the stairs...to Art...with a sly smirk on my face...

Because.....this is going against what my brothers want....

Well sucks for them then.

As we’re walking down the corridor, I make sure to walk a little bit closer to Noah..which I think he notices because he looks down at me with that cocky smirk...but I ignore it....until we reach around the corner starting up the stairs...and then I put much more space between us...

That’s gunna annoy Seth...

But you know what?.....he’ll have to suck it up.

“So...you gunna tell me why your brother or brother’s for that matter...have been shooting daggers at me everytime they see me?” Noah asks sounding amused as we make our way up the flights stairs...

“No...” Is my response as I’m just a few steps in front of him and shrug “Perhaps they....just don’t like you..”I muse smirking to myself..

I hear him scoff behind me “Please...we both know that’s not true...”

Now it’s my turn to scoff at how big headed he is, actually.....I have a pretty good feeling that at this moment in time...Seth doesn’t like you and pretty soon.....neither will Blake, Chris or Evan...because they are stupid over protected brothers that need to leave me to live my life....

I rant in my head but don’t actually say anything out loud...and just ignore him, making my way up to Art....

~~

“Oh this is rubbish! I can’t even draw....I mean what is that even suppose to look like?” I stare at my work in front of my glaring at it

“That’s good Lexi!” Charlie grins as she leans over checking

I raise an eyebrow at her and snort “No it’s not..” I shake my head with a slight smirk “How is that good? It’s a bunch of lines..” I point to me ‘art’ work that I’ve done..and it is...literally just a load of colourful lines...that I have done randomly, not knowing what to do...and Charlie thinks it’s good?

“It is!” She insist grinning “Kinda......abstract..” She tilts her head “don’t ya think guys?” she asks looking over to Abby and Nathan who both look up...

“Yeah...” Abby smiles...with a small smirk somewhere hidden there “It is...very...” she pauses thinking of the right word “unique?” It comes out more as a question and I laugh...

“It is...” Nathan agrees squinting his eyes at it “It’s different....a good different...”

Laughing I shake my head “Guys you don’t have to be nice...I know...it’s Cr*p...” I roll my eyes but smile lightly at how they are trying to make me feel better....

“No...but seriously..” Charlie says picking up my work and holding it out in front of her and tilting it at angles...” Honestly...it’s not actually that bad...” She says a smile coming to her lips “It’s almost like 3D....” She muses....

I snort smirking “Yeah...yeah...okay..” I roll my eyes slightly and place it back down in front of me “You and I both know it’s a pile of shi-“

“Uh huh!...watch your mouth Princess” I get cut off by his voice “Potty mouth..” He adds smirking as he walks on by my table glancing at me as he does and I glare at him....

“Loser..” I mumble under my breathe ignoring him again...and see Charlie smirking...

“What?”

She shakes her head smirking secretly “Nothing....” She says in a high pitched down before grabbing her paintbrush and doing a long swift of the paint across her paper – no not ruining it, her’s is actually good....

I shrug and lean my arm onto the table, fiddling with the paintbrush.....bored now...as I’ve lost interest....yeah I prefer to do Art than the other subjects...but now?.....I’m starting to not so much from the constant smirks I’m getting from a certain brown haired boy.....who keeps shooting them over to me from the little ‘crowd’ he’s with....

Weirdo....

~

Just as the bell goes...we all squish out the paint smelling classroom...but me being half crippled it takes me longer – okay maybe that’s a little bit exaggerated...I’m not that crippled...not really...just bending down to get my bag take a few more seconds than it should do.....

I grunt as I stand back up, a dull, but painful pain flaring from my back as I stand back up straight....yup...definitely gunna be a bruise there...

Walking behind Charlie, Abby and Nath as we head out the classroom, a little slower walking as well...because yeah.....well you know.......

Pushing my bag up more on my shoulder and not really looking where I’m going, I don’t notice someone stood there...so there’s no surprise when I bump into them...

“Oh...uh...sorry...” I mutter grabbing my books in my arms before they fall to the floor and blink looking to the face of who I bumped into...

A girl...with hideous thin white blonde hair – yes white blonde because it’s not that nice golden one...it’s a pale and diss-coloured kind – but anyway...this girl, who I recognise from the art class we just came out from...but can’t place a name, she stands there, her arms crossed over her chest and eyes start to narrow at me....

I raise an eyebrow at her – what’s her problem? She shouldn’t have been standing right there in the way.....

Before I can speak she does, in a voice that matches her appearance...her tall and thin frame trying to look more stronger...

“Your Alex right?” She nearly spits out the name her dark green eyes still narrowed at me...

I frown at her “No...its Lexi..” I say not liking her already because she doesn’t even know my name

“Whatever Alex, Lexi...same thing..” She waves her hand carelessly before turning her harsh eyes back to me

“And who are you?” I ask smiling a bit sarcastically as I shift the books in my arms

Her eyes narrow more “I’m Melanie.” She says “Melanie Brooks”

I’m really tempted to roll my eyes at that, saying her name like that to somehow make her ‘hard’...

“Right well....nice to meet you Mel...but I really gotta go..” I smile a short sweet fake smile before turning ready to leave...

“Uh...no..” She stops me stepping in my way and her eyes turn to slits “Don’t call me Mel....” She snaps...

Whooa...someone’s feisty...

“And don’t call me Alex...” I retort back sharply returning her glare. No one’s called me Alex...no one since-

“And why not?” Melanie quirks an eyebrow suddenly smirking now “You’re names Alexis right?”

I swear my eyes nearly bulge out of my head as she says that.....how the fudge does she know that?! I never told anyone!

Seeing my reaction she smirks smugly leaning backwards slightly with her arms crossed across her chest

“Ah....I take that as a yes..” She chuckles darkly...and I compose myself and turn my expression into a harsh glare, tightening my grip on my books.

“So Alexis I got wind that you just so-“

“Don’t call me that..” I growl at her cutting her off, if looks could kill...she would flat dead on the floor by now...

Smirking she seems happy with herself that she’s somehow got to me...but she doesn’t even know the full of it...

Shrugging she speaks again “I couldn’t really careless about your name..” She steps a step towards me her eyes become dark and serious again “But...I do care...that you just so happen to be neighbours with Noah Dean...”

Noah?

What?

“And?” I give her a look

Narrowing her eyes more she moves closer to me “Stay. Away from him” She hisses and I get the odd sense of déjà vu...

Furrowing my eyebrows at, I study her more closer....her light, white blonde hair....green eyes, tall frame..

Oh!....now I realise....she’s part of that ‘group’ that are always around Noah during classes.....

Oh...

Throwing her own harsh glare back at her I stand my ground “Says who?” I raise an eyebrow “You can’t tell me what to do.....I don’t even know you” I spat out

A smug smirks comes to her face again and she shifts position, standing in a more confident posture...

“Because Alexis...” She drags out and I clench my jaw and glare at her for calling me that...

“I’m his girlfriend”
