"So where had you disappeared too?" Q questioned her, dropping down beside her.

"I would have ran for my life too if I were him." Nate helped in, "But sadly I have been stuck with you idiots for a lifetime journey. From crib to grave." He motioned glumly.

Alex smiled at him before answering Quentin, "Your friends intimidate me. We got off to a bad start and I don't think they like me."

"Nah! That's not it." Jason announced his presence before plopping down in the seat before Alex, "I started respecting you the moment you didn't rat us out to Mr Harrison."

"But you..."

"The prank was not my fault," he raised his hand in mock surrender, "It was all his idea." Waving his head in the direction of Seth, who had quietly taken his seat during the conversation.

Seth glared at him, "I clearly remember telling you to leave the kid alone. He was not worth it."

Why that asshole.

When he noticed Alex shooting daggers at him, he amended, "What I meant to say was that you seemed like a genuinely nice person. Not like that other goody-to-show that I had the in fortune to meet." His tips curved up, to represent a shadow of a smile.

"I can't forget that guy. Remember how he would fold all your clothes while you were away and neatly place them back? Ha! I always thought he had a thing for you."

"I'm glad he left then. One Q is plentiful to handle anyway."

"Now you are just being plain mean about my feelings." Q faked a sob, "I dont judge the enhanced breasts you bring to bed."

Alex shifted awkardly in her seat, wishing this conversation would end.

"No way." Jason grinned excitedly, "I like them small."

"Like the girl this summer I caught you with?"

"Well occasionally I would like a reprieve."

"What about you Alex? How do you prefer them?"

She looked up to find four pair of eyes staring down at her intently. "W-well anything works for me I-I guess."

"Nohing specific?" Seth asked, scrutinising her.

Blushing under his gaze, she muttered, "Someone who is smart, funny and real?"

The staring lasted for a few seconds.

"Boringg!"

"So not a boner."

Nate just tapped sympathetically on Alex's shoulder, before looking over to Jason and Quen bickering.

But Seth wouldn't lower his gaze. He didn't get what, but there was just something not right. He just couldn't pinpoint it as he followed his gaze all over his new friend. The guy had his eyes lowered, and his hands fidgeted.

What was he hiding?

"Where is Hans?" Alex questioned, noticing him missing from class.

"I don't think he needs this class." Jason smirked, "Unless he's the one teaching and not Coach Smith." Motioning to the bulky, bald guy upfront, in a blue and red sweat suit with lots and lots of chest hair sticking out.

Alex grimaced internally, "And why is that?" She looked at Jason.

"Because Health class actually translates to '101 ways to have sex and not get your girl pregnant'."

"And although we can claim to have our fair share of conquests, Hans here is our classic manwhore." He announced smirking.

Nate chuckled, "I remember once, when we were all vacationing in Miami, this guy bet him that he couldn't get a girl at the beach to lay down for him."

"And he took it as an-an insult to his ego." Seth tried to finish, holding back his laughter, "He took the girl right there on the sand and came back with a blistered, sun burned-ed ass-ss!"

That finally cracked the boys for good, and their laughter echoed so hard that the Coach blew his whistle angrily, signalling the start of the class and the cue for the boys to shut up. Only Quentin didn't join in. He looked just as uncomfortable as Alex and only passed on a brief smile to his friends. However he quickly brightened up, and leaned in towards her.

"I'm just glad that his tastes are on the feminine side. I'd hate to fight him for you." Quentin whispered next to Alex, flashing him a charming smile.

Fight over me? Oh god. Please don't tell me he figured me out. I'm just so screwed.

Seeing Alex in dilemma, Nate tried to settle the confusion, "Quentin is openly gay."

Alex's brows unknitted themselves.
Ahhh.. That explains. Well that's good and... Wait!

"WHAT?!" She screeched.

Just then a very elaborate picture of a guy and girl in an BDSM position appeared on the screen and the Gym was engulfed in chaos.

Then Alex fainted.
______________________________________

Alex was floating.

Yup that's right. She had these amazing pair of enchanting wings. To think of it, she was actually flying. She felt giddy inside. She always wanted to fly. It was her dream to become a pilot and fly around the world.

She stopped. She thought she heard something. She looked around but could see noone. She was surronded by long stalks of gigantic flowers, and really tall bushes of grass. Maybe she imagined it.

"Maybe we dumped a bit too much on him too soon." She heard a worried voice.

What the hell?

That's when she noticed a flower bending towards her. It looked awfully familiar. She backed away from it in fright.

"Alex are you okay?" It asked. She detected panic in its voice.

Nate? Why do I recognise that name?

"Q! Keep your hands off him!" Another flower bellowed from behind her.

"I was just trying to shake him awake! Why are you getting so possessive?!"

"Guys you need to calm down! Maybe he needs some air."

Yeah he was right. Alex was starting to feel suffocated. Maybe she should just fly away and let the flowers argue. Although she wanted to know who this guy was that they kept fighting about. No guy ever fought over her. She pouted.

And right then she opened her eyes. The sight above her had her blinking a few times.

Seth had Q by the collar, while Jason has one hand wrestled around Seth's free arm which was fisted up and the other around his waist, unsuccessfully trying to pull him away. And Nate was at her side, his left hand on her shoulder, glaring at the scene, and cursing everyone to grow up.

"What's going on?" Everyone turned to face Alex, at the sound of her voice. Even she did a double take at her involuntary action.

It took a few seconds for everyone to react. Nate grinned and helped her back up while Seth let go of Q and looked around sheepishly. Until he noticed Jason too close to him and glared at him, causing him to scramble away.

When she was sitting upright, she shot a questioning glance on all of them but no one would meet her gaze.

Just then she heard a door open, and seconds later Hans's head popped beside Q with an awfully large smile.

"Heard you fainted seeing a picture of some BDSM activity?" She sensed the tease in his voice.

Everything that happened today came crashing down and suddenly she was the one who couldn't face the guys anymore. As she let her eyes fall on anything but the boys, she noticed she was not in the gym anymore. The room was smaller than a classroom, the walls were painted white and blue and there was a desk near the only window in the room, which let in ample of light. She was on a small hospital type bed, covered with white sheets and a pillow with curtains pulled back on one side.

"You don't need to look so embarrassed. I knew you weren't the one to fool around the first time I saw you. But don't worry. I'll show you how much fun we can have screwing around over the coming spring break." He winked suggestively.

"You're not teaching him anything." Quentin voiced and expression reflected hurt.

"Seems like Quentin marked his new toy." Jason smirked.

"What?" Seth bellowed.

"Shut up boys!" A womanly authority redeemed them. "This is the nurse's office. Not the gym." She appeared alongside Nate and looked at me, "Hello dear. How so you feel?" She asked smiling warmly.

She was a round women with brown eyes that crinkled at the sides when she smiled, and a short grey bob.

"F-fine." She managed to stutter out.

"Are these boys harassing you?"

"No-no why would they?" She looked over at the boys, "They are my friends."

The kind lady sighed, "This is not one of your ploys to scare away the new kid right?" She glared at the boys.

"No ma'am!" Jason voiced, "We actually like this one."

"Uh-huh?" She voiced disbelief, raising an eyebrow.

"I can vouch for them this time Mrs Dalton. They'll behave." Nate nodded to the woman.

"Well if you say so Nathaniel." She smiled fondly.

"Wait... Mrs Dalton?" Alex questioned.

"Yes, your principal's wife."

A/N:

Hey guys. Here is chapter 5! I hope you enjoy it. Please dont forget to vote/comment and support the story you love.

I'm really sorry the chapter is up so late than intended. I had an accident this Sunday and was hospitalised for my head injury. The next chapter will hopefully be up sooner.

What do you think of Alexandra Daddarioas as Alexis? I'm still open to ideas for the rest of the cast.

And thank you to the wonderful @cluttering for the amazing cover!
