Once the bell rang, I see all the kids walk towards the door, and lose Alex. I stand up and tap Dylan's shoulder, which makes him face me.
"May you please help me?" I ask him a bit nervous that he'll say no because he might not want to be seen with a girl like me.
"With?" he asked.
"With showing me where science with Mr. Derson is at. " I ask looking at the floor bitting my bottom lip, which I tend to do a LOT  . No really along with twisting my hair I bit my lip, it's just a habit nothing flirtish.
  I look up at him and see him, to find him smirking at me. " I have that class too, but I don't think I want to show you." he says leaving me there.
  My mouth feels like dropping open, but I keep it shut to show that I don't care. I grab my backpack and swing it over my shoulder, and walk out the door. I walk down the hallway looking for a class when I bump into someone, and quickly apologize. I look up and find Justin's girlfriend, Kayla, standing there. I think to myself, great here comes, but I'm shocked by what she does next.
" It's okay Mia, do you want me to help you find your class cause you look a little lost there. " she says offering me a smile.
"Yes please that would be helpful." I say returning the smile. Wow that's the first,  no girl as popular as her has ever been nice to me,  and yes I'm considering this act of hers nice.
   I tell her my class, and she takes me there,  then goes to her class a couple of doors down. I walk to the teacher and he tells me what I need to have out, and where I sit. In this class we have black topped desk and stools, also in groups of four. I walk up to my seat and sit in front of ... you'll never my luck ... Dylan. Next to me the chair is empty, and next to Dylan is a pretty blonde giving him googly eyes. I groan to myself as I sit in front of the two flirting students.
I take out the stuff the teacher instructed me to do, and put my backpack on my floor next to me.
"Isn't this a little awkward" Dylan says smirking at me. I roll my eyes at him, then freeze when I feel a hand on me. Alex smiles at me and takes the seat next to me. I smile back at him.Yes my hero, I say to myself in relief.
"Hey Mia" Alex say taking out his stuff.
"Hey Alex,  why were you late? " I ask curiously.
" Oh sorry that I left you, it's cuz I needed to go to the office." he says putting down his backpack.
"Oh why? " I ask another question.
"Because he's a druggie, so they gotta make sure he's not high or anything like that." Dylan says smirking at Alex.
I gasp, " Shout up Dylan leave him alone." I could feel Alex tense up, and see his jaw clutch.
"Why?  It's true isn't that right Alex?" he says with a smirk plastered on his face which I wish I could slap off.
"I already know, but you don't have to tell me again." I say to Dylan. This catches him off guard.
" You already know?" he asked
"Yes. "
"Then what are you doing being that druggie's friend? Oh wait maybe you want to do drugs too" He states smugly.
I gasp, and glare at him.
"Shut up." Alex says glaring at Dylan.
" Make me." He challenges.
With that Alex and Dylan both stand up and glare at each with clutched jaws. I look at the blonde sitting right and she looks as scared as I feel right now. Quickly I grab Alex's arm and try to sit him down, but he won't back down. I grab his wisted up hand and unfold it the hold it. This makes him look at me with anger gone.
"Alex please." I say looking at his blue eyes. He holds my gaze for a moment then looks at our hands. He sighs and sit down on his chair. " Sit. " I say looking at Dylan, and surprisingly he listens.
" Alright students today, we will be working in our groups of two on a work sheet I'll hand out in a  moment." our teacher says grabbing our attention.
  Mr. Derson walks around the class passing out the work sheet. Then he stops at our desk. "Alex will you be kind and help our new student here with the work sheet?"
"Of course" Alex says.
"Thank you." Mr Derson says before walking away.
  I bit my lip nervously because for some reason I don't want to seem dumb in front of him. What if I can't understand what he's explaining.
   Dylan leans over the table and whispers in my ear. "I think we should be partners in stead.". His voice in my ear sends chills down my arms, but I kept still to show he has no effect on me.
I turn to face him. " Really?... " I ask and he nods his head. " Well I think we shouldn't" I say smugly then turn me attention to Alex dismissing him. I could feel his eyes on me, but I ignore it.
" Ready?" Alex ask scooting close to me, so we can work together.
"Yeah, and sorry if I'm a struggle." I say with my pencil in my hand.

...

Alex explains to me step by step of the steps, and surprisingly I've made some progress, but I'm still unsure about the last two steps.
  "Alright kidos pack up the bells going to ring for break any minute now." Mr Derson announces.
  With that everyone packs up and lines up by the door. Then the bell rings dismissing us for break. Everyone stampedes out of the classroom to the hallway. I follow Alex to out of the hallways into the school yard and walk towards the bleachers.
" So? " Alex says trying to start a conversation. " I'm sorry."
" For what? " I ask him
"For screwing up your first day."
"No you made my day by being my friend." I say  looking at him.
He turns his head to look at me and gives me a ghost smile.
" But you being my friend isn't good for you." he says looking at the ground.
"Why not? " I ask still looking at him.
"Because I'm a screw up and I use to have bad issues with drugs."
We walk up the vacant bleachers and sit at the very top.
"Alex I don't care about that, so just get that trough your head already. We are friends and I don't care what people think about that or you okay?" I say hugging him. I feel him stiff at my action, but then hugs me back.
"Okay." Is all he says. We sit like that for a moment, when someone clears their throat getting our attention, Justin. I groan at the sight of my brother at the bottom of the bleachers with his arms folded over his chest glaring at us.
"Mia come here right now...  please." Justin says strictly adding in the 'please ' at the end.
  He lucky he added the please, or else I would have not moved. Alex let's go of his grip around me as I stand up. Slowly with taking my sweet time,  I walk down the bleachers.
" What?" I ask with annoyance in my voice, when I'm on the bottom step.
" What do you think your doing with that kid?" he ask
" That kid has a name, and he's my friend."
"No he's a druggie and I don't want you hanging out with him anymore."
"No." I say challenging him.
"What did you just say?" ask accepting my challenge.
" I said No. Your not the boss of me." I said folding my arms too.
" Look Mia I don't care who you think you are, but here your just a little lost girl with no friends. Cause you'll always be a little dork. " he says towering over me.
  I fight back the tears that threaten to fill my eyes, and the eager to step back because I trying to show him that he has no effect on me.
"What the fuck Justin?!" Alex says bringing me into a hug.
"Don't what the fuck me Alex, I want to stay away from my sister." Justin says walking off the field.
"I'm sorry." Alex and I say at the same time. We look at each other and say, " jinx" once again at the same time. We laugh lighting the mood we were just in. I like Alex as my friend, he may have a bad reputation, but he still makes me happy.
   The bell rings and we walk to class. Right now we both have English, but we have different teachers. We walk into the school, and he shows me where the English section is at. We walk and talk about how people can be such asshole. Then we stop.
"Okay this is your class, and mine is right across. " he says pointing to his class.
"Okay thanks." I say before walking into my class.

...

In English all we did was take notes as our teacher explained what our next essay will be about. I sit next to a girl who has short black hair with purple highlights, and is wearing basically all black, and you can't forget her carefully winged eyeliner. So she seems very chill and isn't annoying, and I'm grateful for that. But what I'm not grateful for is that cross the class Dylan and Justin are most likely talking crap about me because they are looking over at me with smirks. At the end of class, I meet up with Alex and we go to our elective together, Photography. Photography class is a class that teams up and shares some of our pictures with the yearbook class and the school news paper group. We walk up to the class a Alex turns to face me.
    "Okay to be honest with you this class is lit, our teacher is really chill and cool. " he says with a smile on his face.
"lit? " I ask him not knowing that term.
"You don't know what lit means?"   he ask me with a raised brow. I shake my head. " Oh it means like you know  ... Never mind I'm not sure how to explain it." he says walking into class.
I follow him and go to the teacher. She gives me rules and do's and don't 's of the camera. Then she hands me the camera.
"Okay you seem to already know how this class works. I'm guessing you were in photography in your old school right? " she asks me, and I nod my head. "Okay that's good, so here's your camera and note pad. The notepad is for when you take a picture for the news paper group and you'll need to add a description on it. " she says with a smile.
" okay and where do I sit? " I ask.
"Oh we don't necessarily have a seating chat, so where ever you like. Also today is Wednesday, so it's an outside day." she says grabbing a clipboard off her desk.

...

After Photography, it feels like the rest of the day just flies passed me. At lunch Alex and I go eat on the bleachers. Then we just go to our classes.
   "Okay kids pack up, the bells going to ring any second now." My last period teacher says.
  Everyone quickly packs up, and lines up by the door. The bell rings dismissing us. Alex and I go to the front of the school to the parking lot. 
"So where's your ride? " Alex ask .
"I don't have a clue where Justin is at." I say looking around doing a full circle.
"If you want I can take you home." Alex offers.
  For some reason this makes my face heat up, what the heck I'm blushing?! I quickly recover and nod my head. "Yes please." I say as we walk to his nice looking black car.
  We get in his car and pulls out of the parking spot. As we pull out of the lot, I catch a glimpse of Dylan watching us leave. His facial expression was priceless. His jaw dropped, and eyes wide. I tell Alex where I live, and we drive off.
