"So I -" I'm cut off as Corey hops out of the car slamming the door. I quickly gather my things and jump out. "Where are you going?" I ask loudly as he starts to walk towards the school.
"Away from you!" Corey yells as he presses the button remote locking his car. He turns without giving me a second glance.
"But I don't know where anything is!" I call back.
"Don't care!" I watch Corey as he retreats glaring at his figure.
"Your first mistake was expecting help from Corey Michaels." A voice says behind me causing me to turn. I look over to see a guy shutting his car door. He smiles at me and his whole face lights up. He would be a little shorter than Corey with shaggy brown hair, he is cute. "I'm Jake." He says as he gets closer, I hear a slight southern accent. "Jake Collins."
"I'm Lexie. Lexie Michaels."
"Michaels?" He raises an eyebrow. "You are related to that idiot?"
"He is my cousin."
"You have an accent." He blurts out.
"So do you." I counter and I see a pink tinge appear on Jake's cheeks.
"I meant you sound like you aren't from here." He says ringing his hands together.
"Denmark. I'm from Denmark. I'm staying with my Uncle and his family. Corey was supposed to help me but-"
"He is a selfish jerk." Jake finishes cutting me off.
"Something like that."
"I'll show you around." Jake says and for the first time I notice the other people around us. Everyone is heading inside, some in groups, some holding hands with a boyfriend or girlfriend. A few girls look at my outfit and I mentally thank Lily for picking out something to help me blend in. Her jeans and sweater combo make sure I don't stand out like a sore thumb. "Lexie?" Jake snaps me out of my thoughts. "Would you like my help?"

"That would be amazing! Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Jake says with a small smile. "Follow me." I do exactly that. Jake leads me to the administration office where I sign in and get my schedule. Lucky for me all of my classes are with Jake so at least I'll have one friend. "So did you move here over the summer?" Jake asks as we sit down in our home class.
"Uh no. My plane arrived yesterday."
"Oh wow are you like jet-lagged?"
"I don't think it has hit me yet." I say with a laugh. The class fills quickly. I notice Corey walk in with his arm around a girl. His eyes briefly flick over me before he turn his attention back to the blonde. I'm staring at the door when in walks the most beautiful guy I have ever seen. I mean beautiful! He is god like. He has dark brown hair and stubble. He looks well read but you can tell that he has muscles with what is most likely an eight pack hiding underneath his Napa High sweatshirt. He looks like the best of both worlds, smart and athletic.
"Lexie did you hear me?" Jake's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I tear me eyes away from the god.
"Sorry what?"
"I asked if you want to sit with me at lunch?"
"Of course. Thank you I'd like that." I smile at Jake who grins back.
"Finn!" I hear Corey's voice from across the room. The god like guy moves to sit with my cousin. The giggling blonde girl sits on the Finn's lap with her hand around Corey's neck and I look away to keep from staring.
The teacher walks in and begins her roll call.

"Oh we have a new student!" She says her eyes darting around the room. "Lexie Michaels can you please stand up?" I do as she asks and she smiles at me. "My name is Miss Roberts. Do you want to tell us a bit about yourself?"
"Alright." I say cautiously. I look down at Jake and he gives me a thumbs up. "My name is Lexie Michaels. I'm seventeen and I just moved here from Denmark."
"Where are you living?" Miss Roberts asks when I am silent for a moment.
"Black Vine Winery. With my cousin." I look over at Corey and his friends but he hasn't heard a word I was saying. The teacher offers me a sympathetic look as I sit down.
"Corey! Finley! Pay attention." Miss Roberts snaps. The pair look up briefly before rolling their eyes and looking away. Miss Roberts sends us off to our first class and I realise just how long my day is going to be.
"Enjoying your first day?"
"Are you going to ask me that after every class? So far I have only been here fifteen minutes."
"Is it like your school in Denmark?"
"I didn't go to school in Denmark." I say softly.
"Serious?"
"I was homeschooled."
"Do you have brothers or sisters?" Jake asks as we walk into our English Lit class. My schedule says the teacher name is Mr Parker.
"Nope."
"Lucky!" Jake says.
"But there is no one to blame when I'm in trouble!" Jake laughs at me. "Do you have any siblings?"
"Yup." Jake says popping the 'p'. "Brother." He says in a bored tone.
"That's nice. How old is he?"
"You saw him this morning. We are twins, but we look nothing alike. My brother is Finn Collins."
The Greek god is Jake's brother?! Well school just got crazy.

8 301~Trust Me ~
"I want a divorce."And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me."Wh..hy?"As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor.And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men.Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes.Disgust and hatred.The only emotions I could see.Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment.Hurt and immense pain.If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too."Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?"It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship."Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb."Was I hurt? NoI was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself.**************************************************Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love?This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust.© All rights reserved
