Chapter 1: The drill that are the Campbell's

The sweat ran down my neck, as I twisted and turned quickly, feeling my body at its peak. The energy I had before I started was drained but that only seemed like motivation to keep going. I was at the point of exaustion but it was so thrilling. 

Probably the most thrilling thing in my life. 

I finished with a perfect backflip, that I had been practicing for months, and looked down.

"Wooooh!" Ken cheered for me when I ended the dance I had been creating for a few weeks.

"Huh, I am exausted!" I said running to hug Ken and wrap my legs around his torso. He hugged me back and laughed with me.

"We are gonna rock that competition!" Nathan screamed in hapiness, making his big statement with his hands up in the hair smiling widely.

"It's a year from now. Relax!" Jacklyn claimed coming in the warehouse.

I slide out of Ken' embrace and walk to get my towel.

"But we gotta practice, you people! No back downs." I yell.

My skin felt incredibly hot, and I longed for a cold shower. I wiped my forehead, passing through my face and then my neck feeling a sense of relief.

"Yeah, yeah! Whatevs! Your cute friend is here!" I heard Stella's voice from behind as I turned to get my water bottle.

I immediately jumped and turned around.

"Alex!" I chirped running to her, hugging her with all my strength.

"Hey, how was your summer?" She asked out of breath as I was almost strangling her from my embrace.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, loosening my grasp on her neck until I was just standing with my arms resting on her shoulders. "I thought you only arrived here tomorrow."

"Well, I came a day early from Barcelona.... I had to see you before school started." She replied smiling widely.

"So wassup?"

Looking at the cafeteria flooded with students stuffing food and chatting unreasonably loud with each other yet again, was certainly something I didn't miss from last year.

"So, which one should I try for this year? Kick-boxing or lacrosse?" Alexa's endless conversation about the sports and clubs she should join this year was starting again, just as a new year of school.

"It's the first day of Sophomore year, try outs aren't until next week! Do we really need to think about that now?" I asked as I slid my tray picking the food I was gonna eat.

"Yes, Indie. I need time to practice." The blonde explained it to me as she played with the apple she was holding. "So which one?"

"Our brothers plays lacrosse. And Kick-boxing sounds too invasive. Why don't you just keep it with the swimming? You were the best of your team." I asked grabbing my tray and walked along Alex to our usual table.

"I wanna try something new. And then, if I keep on swimming and start doing it seriously it will drain my life." She cleared out making her way through the tables.

"Hey Alexa." Kylie, who was sitting along the other cheer leaders, bawled. They always insisted in greeting her. In fact, everyone always made sure they greeted her. "Wow, I love that shirt." Oh, and I forgot to say, they also complimented her every single time, just to get on her sweet spot.

"It's a plain white tank top." I replied with my eyebrows furrowed together. Did they really need her attention so much? There was literally nothing out of the ordinary on that shirt. They were just patting her back so she would talk a bit to them and they could show off to the whole school how 'close' friends they are with Alexa Campbell.

"It's still cute." Kylie smiled innocently to Alex after sparing me a death glare.

"Thanks, Kylie." Alex smiled through her teeth to her then turning to me, she changed her facial expression to 'bored' and spoke. "Let's go Indie."

"Oh wait!" I heard Kylie and immediately swirled my eyes. These girls just got on my nerves with they're fake nails and fake souls.

Alexa turned around and I followed, eyeing her every move.

"I was wondering if you and you brothers wanted to come to my party this Friday night? You are the first to be invited!" Her pitchy voice squeaked excited.

"Is everyone invited?" Alexa asked smiling. But I really just saw through that smile, all the fakeness.

"Well yeah, but you are the first to know it is gonna happen." She chirped smiling proudly. "Will you mention it to your brothers?" Kylie begged hopefully for Alexa's approval.

"Yeah, why not?" She smirked amused.

Kylie nodded back happy with the answer and they say their goodbyes as I was already walking away.

"Why do you even answer them? They are all so desperate. It's ridiculous." I commented as we sat down.

"Cuz they are priceless. They are so desperate." Alex smirked, starting to eat her food.

"Hey, Alexa. Looking good." A blonde guys passed winking at Alex. She answered by smiling back at him until his eyes turn away.

"Who's that?" I asked, with my eyes opened at their maximum but she did not even seem a little bit affected by it.

"Just a friend of my brothers." She sighed, informing me with a ghosted smile on her face that she was clearly trying to keep to herself.

"So are you guys doing the dirty?" I asked as I started to eat.

Quickly after I saw by the corner of my eye Alex face palming her forehead. "Indie, please don't put it like that."

"Fair enough." I said sitting back and biting into a pickle. "So have you told him that you like him?"

"Can you tone it down?" she whispers grabbing my wrist defensively.

"Sorry, I can see it in your eyes..." I was quickly interrupted by the finger of my best friend that she pressed against my mouth making me shush immediately in place.

"Hey, sister." I heard the familiar voice that starled me, making me feel a stirring in my stomach.

Alex swiftly drifted her hands off my mouth facing Shane afterwards.

Shane kissed his sisters head before putting the tray he held down, and leaning on the table pressing his weight on his hands allowing me to see his messy but styled mop of beautiful blonde hair, that contemplated his strong and proeminent cheek bones that looked like they were sculpted by gods.

"Indiana." He acknowledged my presence, holding in his red fleshy lips a smirk. And turning his green shining eyes to me, he briefly spared me a wink. Ass.

I widened my eyes, feeling my pulsation beat louder and faster.

I looked down trying to hide my cheeks that I feared were tinted.

"Father and mother coming tonight. Make sure to be there or else... you know the drill." He said seemingly bored, but probably not at Alexa.

They had a strong bond, that made Shane very protective of her, and Alexa very fond of him, despite all his clear flaws like being a jerk and a fuck boy.

"No prob. I will inform Hunter." She smiled at him.

"He already knows. See you at home." And with that he picked up his tray, making his stay in our table brief.

"Indiana." Finishing this conversation, he leaves, probably to joins his annoying and obnoxious friends at their usual table.

"Anyway," Alex starts. "Do you wanna come to Kylie's party this Friday?"

"You are seriously giving that bitch the satisfaction of going?" I ask.

"Indie, let me lead you in on a lil somethin'. Party's like this, where everyone in the freaking high school is invited are exclusively an opportunity for teenagers to get hammered and have sex with each other. Nobody is gonna care because no one associates the party as being Kylie's. It is just another party. So she won't be gaining a thing for my appearance. Plus I am positive she only said that so Shane would go, she is clearly trying to do him." Alexa's monologue reached an end as she pointed to Shane's table.

I frowned not really understanding where this was coming from until I turned to see Kylie on Shane's lap whispering to his hear. Seriously, her desperation was just too ridiculous to not even feel sorry for her. She perspired need of attention, and it made me wonder how could Alex's brother not smell her stink.

Did Shane, who was in the route to fuck her, choose to ignore her agony for approval, and only see her hot but fake outside? That's stupid. But then again he really was an ass.

"I don't understand this. Why is Kylie waiting till Friday to get in his pants when you're brother is clearly willing to have sex with her now?" I ask though the answer seems quite obvious. "Does that bitch really want the entire high school to know she is gonna have sex with him?"

"Of course, or else she would not be following him around, showing off to everyone how thick their sexual tension is." Alex said with a disgusted look on her angelic face.

"Actually, why don't all girls who chase your brothers get right to the point, why does it take so long to persuade each other when both of 'em clearly know how it is gonna end?" I asked finally taking my eyes off of the scene that made my chest ache in discomfort.

"I would call it long period foreplay." She proposed focusing on her plate as we finally got to eating.

"Whatever it is, it's creepy." I commented, stabbing my fish with my fork.

Twenty minutes went by and cafeteria was starting to quiet down a little.

Alexa was almost finishing her food and so was I.

"What time is it?" She questioned

"Two-thirty." I answer.

"Okay, I need to get going or I will miss my AP French." She explained ever so worried looking at her wrist watch.

"Go." I said and she smiled kissing my cheek and speeding out.

♢♢

I walk at an irregular rate as I was being pushed by the wave of the crowd in the halls. It was always like this at lunch time, and I longed to get to class.

I suddenly hit someone harder than expected and immediately stumbled. Though I still managed to stand the process was complicated and it left my belongings on the floor. "Can you watch wher--? Indie?" A deep voice hoarsed and I recognised it.

I didn't even look up, scared of his reaction, and melted to the floor, to pick up my stuff.

He certainly picked up on my moves, cuz he lowered himself to my level and called. "Have you seen Alexa?" He asked.

I looked up meeting a pair of cold eyes who didn't let any emotion out, and how I found myself sometimes wishing he did.

I watched his angelic features, contemplating.

My eyes immidiatelly diverted to his red plump lips, before skeamming down his sharp jaw line to his strong neck, that was pleasing to look.

Hunter could really say he was blessed. Out of all his brothers he was the only one that ended with black hair, and blue eyes. It suited his pale baby skin so well. I thought it actually weakened my knees.

"So are you gonna answer?" He questioned.

"Hum.. ye-yeah..." I said forcing myself to unlock our gaze I picked my books I jumped up.

"She is in class." I explained as he was already back up.

Hunter looks me in the eyes, allowing me to see his blue orbs for longer than he would let anyone normally.

He nodded and left mixing in with crowd quickly.

"Hey, have you seen Hunter?" Alexa appears out of nowhere with Shane.

I furrow my eyebrows. "Weren't you in class?" I ask.

"Yeah, my parents arrived and they want us there know. Which is stupid since they also want us to never miss school. But whatever." Alexa says.

"Are you alright?" I wonder directed to Alexa.

"I think they are divorcing each other." she rambles.

"Why?" I ask, though they didn't give a damn about their kids, the Campbell parents always looked happy with one another, not that they smiled much, but they did.

"I can't really explain it. I have to go get Hunter." Alexa says and after kissed my cheek and leaves me with Shane.

The discomfort that I felt was clearly not reciprocal, as Shane took the moment to look me right in the eyes. His stare was eletric and left my stomach churning in distress.

"I gotta.. head humm... go." I say feeling my cheeks heat up, as he only showed how amused he was by my reaction. I quickly turned and left.

He was so obnoxious and stuck up.

♢♢♢♢

"I'm home." I yell at the top of my lungs to see if my mother had arrived.

"Indie, finally, your father and I have news. Come sit." The pitched response of my mother echoes throughout the room.

"What's up?" I smile sitting on the sofa in front of them and they smile back at me.

"Do you wanna start, John?" She smiles excitedly. Since his face is looking down and he doesn't even bare one spark of happiness in his expression my mother ignores and starts herself. "You are going to live with the Campbell's!"

WHAT?

♢♢♢♢♢

So let's get this battle started: (comment on which one you ship with Indie)

Team Shane
