Alex POV
I twirled my pen while Mr Strickler went on about the American Revolution ? I had no idea. I was more interested in the human interaction around me.
Jim was staring at Claire,Mary was sharing her latest boy gossip and Steve was harassing Eli. You know,just the average Arcadia Oaks High day.
"Alexandra Lake,"
"Hm?" I looked up at Mr Strickler,uninterested.
"I asked you a question,"
"And I wonder what that was?"
He gave me a blank look while opening and re-capping his pen, something that would usually annoy his students.
"Who was the first Emperor of France?" He continued.
"Napoleon.Possibly named after his love affair with Napoleon pasta instead of treating his wife right" I answered without hesitation.
The class stared at me blankly while Jim and Toby tried to hold back their laughter.
Mr Strickler looked amused. "Correct,however I think you might want to rethink your theory. "
I shrugged then looked down at my textbook,twirling my pen again.
"And you Jim,"
No answer.
"Jim?"
Silence.Rolling my eyes, I tapped my idiotic brother in front of me.
"Holy crap Alex!" The class snickered. I glared at them and then gestured to Mr Strickler so that lovesick Jim Lake would get a hint.
After that Mr Strickler asked him a question and then I think he couldn't answer and then....I don't know.I was still grumpy about not having my breakfast.
The bell rang a few seconds later and I stood up abruptly, not caring about the weird stares I was getting. I'm seriously hungry. I didn't even care about Jim or Toby calling out to me;I seriously needed to eat.
You Fatso...
I glared, scaring Eli as I brushed past him. I dug my food out of my bag and started to devour it inhumanly as I slump against the bench. An already cowering Eli made an easy target for a hormonial raging Steve. I watched as Steve threatened to stuff Eli in his locker and his lackeys pushing him on.
You are meant to be a Guardian,Weapon. Do something...
"SHUT UP!" I yelled to myself.
"What's it to you,Lake!"
I turned around to see Steve glaring at me. Psht, as if things like that would scare me.
"Huh,I thought I said that to myself. Oh well." I turned back around, crumpling my lunch bag and taking the shot to a trash can across from me.
"So you're that much of a coward, Lake. I always knew you only acted tough." Steve taunted. Swish, in goes the ball.
"Say what you wanna say. It's not as if I care, or anybody else for that matter. You don't deserve my time. You claim that I 'act' tough, but at least that's better than being an attention seeking magnet, desperate for love 'cause no one at home will give you it. Is that it? You just want some love. Tsk,tsk, poor baby Stevie." At this point I stood up, turning around, as I looked up from under his chin. Ugh, his breath stinks.
"Whaddya say Lake!" Steve grabbed my collar and lifted me up. Dumbass forgot our previous position, and my head knocked his chin. "Argh!" He dropped me and held his jaw.
I got up and brushed myself off then proceeded to walk around the bench.
"I'll get you for that Lake!"
"I didn't do anything, it was your stupidity." I shrugged.
"Why you-!"
"That's enough Steve, Alex!" A firm hand grasped my shoulder. I pushed it off, already knowing who it belonged too.
"Hah! You're so pathetic Lake! Having your big brother help you up!"
I rolled my eyes, grabbed my longboard that my brother had so kindly brought and walked away.
He then yelled out to me, "Alex, where you going?"
"I could've handled myself just fine! You stuck your head into my business, deal with it on your own!" I called back.
With that, I threw down the longboard, jumped on an skated away. Taking the earphone that hung around my neck and plugging it in, the calming melody of the music soothed my heart.
Why can't my life be normal...
'Because you are the Guardian, Weapon'

'To be hurt, to be lost, to be left out in the dark.
To be hit, when you're down, feel like you've been pushed around,
To be on the edge of breaking down and no one understands you.
No you don't know what it's like...what it's like,
.....Welcome to my life'
