"Alaska, darling!" Zane yelled over his daughters yells of anger, Gina encouraged her to swing the sword around. He walked into the room with a nod. "Darling!"

"Dad, i'm in my angry bubble!" she yelled back, spinning on her heels and swinging the sword.

"Yes, and i'm living for it." Zane nodded in return. "But Beth is in the car and is ready to bring you to school."

"It's already time?" she asked out of breath, turning his way. "How long have I been up here?"

"Two hours." Gina came from behind her husband, rubbing his back. "What's got you so angry this morning?"

Alaska only groaned in response, putting the sword up as Gina walked into her study, grabbing the list of things she was planning for the vow renewal. "Is that all? Just a groan?"

"Karate interferes." Alaska answered, taking the drink from her dads hands and downing it.

"Wasn't drinking that at all." he shook his head.

"Is Johnny pushing you too hard? Do you need me to go over there again?" Gina looked over with a knowing look. "I will."

"Not Johnny." Alaska sighed, missing the curious look her dad was giving her mom. "Cobra freaking Kai."

"Ugh, Cobra freaking Kai." Gina groaned in return. "Can't wait for the All Valley."

"Shhh, G." Zane put a finger to his lips. "Don't forget about Robby."

That took another groan from Alaska, grabbing her bag forcefully. "Oh, is that where this angry has spiraled from?"

"It's nothing." the teen said in return. "Do I need to pick up anything after school?"

"Just bring your red triangle, the skinny one, and the new one." Zane nodded his head in her direction. "I've got Miguel and Sam."

"You know their names are Eli, Demetri, and Wenier." Gina rolled her eyes.

"Wyatt!" Alaska corrected her with wide eyes.

"Wyatt, yes." she snapped her fingers. "Do they know how to dress?"

"They do. Well, Wyatt does. I can handle the other two." Alaska nodded her head. "Isn't it bad luck for you guys to see each other?"

"Only on the actual wedding day." Zane said, slapping his hand over his eyes. "But, just in case."

"I hate both of you." Gina grinned with a shake of her head. "Allie, don't leave Beth waiting too long. That psycho might show up."

"What psycho?" she looked in confusion.

"Her baby daddy." Zane rose his eyebrows. "Been harassing her. I kicked his ass, but let's just hope it's enough to keep him away."

"Psycho." Alaska agreed. "I'm gonna shower then i'll hurry."

"Don't forget your boys and the cake!" Gina called as her daughter headed down the hallway. "I love you, Missy!"

"Love you, Missy!" Zane agreed.

"Text me when you leave the doctor?" Alaska asked as her and Beth pulled up infront of the school. Alaska had changed into a burnt orange sweater, her hair curled up just below her shoulders after drying from the shower.

"Sure will, and i'll see you tonight." Beth kissed her forehead, looking at the school. "I'll be the one all big and pregnant."

"Glowing and pregnant." Alaska corrected her, getting out of the car and pulling the bag on her shoulder. "Love you."

Beth gave a small smile. "Love you too."

Alaska shut the door, giving her a final wave as she headed toward the school. One of her teachers smiled at her, Alaska giving a wave back. She was greeted by a few of her debate friends, pulling the school doors open. He caught her eye immediately, her heart hitting her stomach, flipping at an uncomfortable rate. Whatever it was, whatever you weren't suppose to feel in the middle of school, she was. She couldn't even focus on the fact that Yasmine and Demetri were all over each other, too focused on Eli.

With his purple mohawk.

Purple. Purple was too emotionally attached to her, the color she thought of when she thought of him. Their first kiss, in Moons closet, until purple LED lights. The A she marked onto his neck under those lights, under that color. The purple shade it turned a few days later, the purple that came to her mind late at night when she couldn't sleep. Alaska started to wonder if his mind thought the same way she had, or if he just liked the color and thought it had nothing to do with her.

"Oh, there she is." Wyatt nudged Hawk harshly. His eyes snapped in her direction, flashing a cheeky grin. Her eyes casted down, flicking up again as she remained herself that it was not the time to look weak, no matter how weak the new look was making her feel. Yasmines face fell when she saw Alaska walking over, clearly still freaking out from when she attacked her at the school fight. With a quick word, she was hurrying away with Moon by her side.

"Oh, hey, Al." Wyatt said casually as she approached. "You look nice today."

"Like a princess." Demetri added with a half smirk, Wyatt's swinging an arm around him. "Oh, look at the time, Wy. We're late for history."

"See you two kids later." Wyatt gave a teasing grin, him and Demetri giggling as they headed down the hallway.

"They're so weird." Eli forced a laugh, just as nervous as she was seconds before. He wasn't until her eyes casted on him, looking over every single aspect of his body.

"I really like it." she nodded toward his hair, biting back a smile. "I didn't know you liked purple."

"I didn't until last summer." he said back with a cheeky grin, his mind clearly thinking of their purple lights kiss just as much as she had. Truth was, he hoped his hair would remind her of their first kiss every time she would look at him now. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Alaska held out her hand. "Walk with me to chemistry."

He wanted a better reaction, he wanted her to say something more. He liked holding her hand, but they'd held hands in a platonic way so many times before. Maybe he over thought the entire thing, maybe he was just embarrassing himself by doing this, maybe she just wasn't as into him as she use to be. Eli followed her into chemistry, a class they shared together, having the luxury of seeing each other first thing in the morning. Their usual spot in the front was the last thing on her mind, dragging him toward the seat farthest in the back.

Hawk hadn't questioned it, dropping his bag by his side as they sat together. "The weddings tonight."

"They decided to spend the week in Oregan for their tiny honeymoon." Alaska said back, pulling her pin from her bag. "You need a pin?"

He hated this. Why was it so casual? So normal? Why wasn't she trying to eat his face off by now?

"I've got one." he gave a grin, getting one back. "So, am I riding with you after school?"

She found his face with a crazy look. Completely mishearing him. Just as he was, her mind was messing with her. "Sorry, what?"

"After school. For the vow renewal. Am I riding home with you?" he asked, laughing at her expression in the slightest.

"Oh, yeah." she found her books again, looking at the board to write down what she needed to. "You might wanna get a head start since we'll be pretty busy after school."

Hawk sighed, scooting closer into their double desk, writing his name at the top of his paper and starting to write what was on the board. He was about to complain about why she chose the seat all the way in the back, his mind running blank as the blood rushed all the way to his face. Eli looked down at Alaskas hand placed on his inner thigh, keeping her grip there. Glancing to the side, she continued writing her notes, though she couldn't focus even in the slightest.

He was so much worse, not even writing, just staring at his paper. Eli's eyes flickered toward their teacher, who hadn't started class yet, having the prompted up on the board for their daily note writing. He took a bold move by grabbing his chair, pulling it a little closer to her. Her head fell when he moved, a sad look across his eyes before she brought her palm up higher. This time, her head turned to him. "Stop moving."

He blinked with a nod, holding his pin, attempting to write but it came out like a squiggly line. He dropped the pen again, exhaling and rubbing his face. Alaska cracked a grin, rubbing his thigh with her hand. It earned a non-humorous laugh from him, picking his pen up again. Eli scooted his foot over in her direction, bumping her foot with his. Wrapping his ankle under hers, he tried to pull her leg closer to him. The bell rung above them.

Alaska removed her hand.

The next class that Eli and Alaska had together was after lunch, haven't seen each other since first period, a few hours ago. By the time Eli made it toward the cafeteria, he looked around for her immediately. It was usually ease to find her, always sitting at the same table, but only Demetri, Miguel, Sam, and Wyatt had been there today. He yanked his phone from his pocket, going back into the silent hallway, starting a text.

"Hey." it was her voice, his eyes looking down the hallway to lock with hers. Alaska stood infront of the doors, a grin in his direction. Hawk sighed in relief, leaning off the wall as he faced her. "Wanna have lunch together?"

"You wanna leave?" he asked, walking her way.

"No." she said back, nodding him over. "Just together without anyone else?"

He tried not to think like a perv, because she'd asked him to have lunch in her car a number of time, not wanting to deal with anyone else. Eli grinned, taking her out reached hand again as they walked outside. "Where's your car?"

"Beth dropped me off, you've got yours, don't you?" she asked him with a nod. The car. The same car they hooked up in the night of their first kiss. He really didn't want to over think it then, because it's not like they haven't ate a number of burgers in that car.

"Yeah, i've got it." he nodded, pulling his keys from his pocket and unlocking the doors. With a minor pull, he lead them toward the Mercedes, that was once hers, near the left side of the high school. He pulled the passengers seat open for her. "What'd you bring for lunch?"

"I left it in my locker." she said, sitting in the seat. His face ran red again, eyes extending in size. Shutting the door, Eli tried to cool himself off as he circled the car, thinking of any other possible reason they were here. Maybe this was the talk, were she'd say they had a good time together but it wasn't gonna work out again. No, because what was that in class then?

"Okay." he spoke out loud, opening the door and sitting in the drivers seat. His blue eyes found her darker ones, staring over with a shy smile. He seemed so nervous, so like how he always was when it was just the two of them. She loved it, always loved it, liking the feeling of knowing she kicked that arrogant, tough guy act, in the gut.

"You shouldn't look so nervous." Alaska gave a teasing look in his direction. Her eyes were back on his hair, finding his eyes once again. "Why are you?"

Eli shook his head at her. "I don't know."

She waited for him to touch her hand before leaning over the seats. Eli grasped her waist, helping her crawl over in his lap. He moved the seat back so she had room between the steering wheel and him. His hands settled onto her hips, looking up as she sat completely, with a minor roll of her hips, down onto him. A smile went across his lips. Alaska smiled in return. "Still nervous?"

"No." he lied to her.

She leaned over, grasping his face and planting her lips onto his. Their first kiss since before they broke up, finally, as if it hadn't been in both their minds since the fight at Sams house. Eli's hand pulled her in more, Alaskas lips pushing firmly, and a little harsh, into his. When she pulled back, her teeth latched onto his lower lip, letting it go after a minor pull. "Liar."

Leaning in again, they were connected at the mouth again. Hawk sat up better, being closer to her as his arms wrapped firmly around her body, one of his hands pressing flat against the skin under her sweater. Alaska let his face go, keeping their lips connected. She pulled back just a second to get the sweater over her head, doing it for him, not in a mood to wait on his low actions. Eli smiled onto their kiss, feeling the soft fabric of the wireless bra she had. His lips were off hers to look at it. "Is this the new one you were telling me about?"

"No, that one was purple." she said back with a teasing grin. He laughed, pulling her back in for a kiss. She managed to slip her hands under his purple shirt, her hands on his skin being so missed that it made him gasp into her mouth. It made her grin when he did it, feeling it on her lips. Her hand rubbed across his abdomen, giving gentle, but tender, rubs across his heated skin. Eli whimpered into her mouth, thinking he'd be okay, but after so long, he was far from keeping the tough guy act up.

They pulled back to pull the two shirts over his head. Alaska grinned, helping get it gently over his head to not mess up his hair. "Hang on, I think I got it."

He leaned forward, face pressing into her neck while she carefully got the shirts over the purple spikes. The second he felt it off, he kissed her neck. Unlike he was, she was a lot more ticklish on her neck. Her hands moved his head gently to find a spot that didn't have her wanting to giggle, finally settling on one as a satisfying sigh left her lips, eyes falling shut, hand pressing into the hawk tattoo onto his back.
