Chapter 8
I didn't know what it was but something felt different. I got to my Math class and took my usual seat at the front. Yes, I wear spectacles and sit at the front of all my classes, that doesn't mean anything. It just simply means that I prefer being in front so I can actually see what's happening.
Mr. Finn was sitted at his desk going over some papers. "Good morning Alexis!" he said as he looked up from his papers. I smiled in return and took out my notebook and textbook.
The other pupils began filing in and the last one to walk in was Nick. What, Nick?
Mr. Finn clasped his hands together, "ah yes the new student I was talking about last week is here, care to introduce yourself young man?"
All the girls were already beginning to swoon over him and I wouldn't blame them. He was dressed in black wash jeans, a g

THE WIND WAS blowing my hair in every direction and the adrenaline that was pumping through my blood was amazing. I don't remember the last time that James took me riding because it almost feels like a life time ago. But now, as I sat behind Jake tightly clutching onto his torso-I felt like the whole world was moving too fast, like nanobots and before I knew it, we were pulling up into the very familiar driveway.I hopped off and took the helmet off, making sure to give it back to Jake as I slung my rucksack over my left shoulder.Kai and Nick pulled up beside us and took off their helmets before placing them on their motorcycles and finally walking up to Jake and I."Come on let's go," I said before turning around and walking to the front door. I pulled my keys out of my jean pocket and unlocked it."Dad are you home?" I shouted as I passed over the threshold."In the kitchen pumpkin," dad shouted back.I looked back at the three guys stand

I COULDN'T SLEEP the whole night. I kept tossing and turning as beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I knew I should have taken my medication but I didn't. In fact, I had poured it all down the toilet earlier with the hopes of my mum not finding out that I decided to stop taking my medication all together.I wasn't quite sure if it was the lack of medication, the lack of sleep or the fact that I was feeling queasy over Nick's new reaction towards me. Should I be happy that he at least is starting to be nice to me? I didn't know.When I did finally manage to fall asleep, it was past three in the morning and I didn't get any sleep as the stupid alarm clock decided it was the right time to blur it's annoying tune.I groaned and pulled the duvet over my head once more and went back to sleep.Minutes later, the duvet was being yanked away by someone. "You better wake up now or so help me I will drag your arse out of bed," the sweet voice of my mum spoke.

I SPENT THE night in hospital and when morning came I couldn't be happier to get out of there. Hospitals remind me of death and all the loss and heartbreak that people go through in them.When Dr. Dave came to release me, I was already dressed in the clean fresh clothes that we left out for me."I can see you're in a hurry to leave," he joked."Honestly, I'd rather be at school than in here," I said pointing around the room for emphasis. "It's so depressing, though the pastel gives it a bit of life."Dr. Dave chuckled. "You wouldn't be here in the first place if only you had followed the rules," he said and I rolled my eyes at him. "Your mum is waiting for you outside," he said."Thanks."We walked out of the room together heading towards the main entrance in silence but I knew he wanted to say something. Though I didn't know what it would be."I'll see you for your monthly check up," he said. "And please do try to take care of yourself beca

I WOKE UP early and got dressed in some comfy and presentable clothes. Then I grabbed my phone and bag and headed out the door.It was still pretty early and since I didn't want to wake any of my parents, I quietly tip-toed downstairs and made myself a toast with a cup of black, sugar-free coffee-just the way I liked it. I quickly ate the toast and downed the coffee which burned my mouth in the process and then I proceeded to leave the house.It was still pretty dark outside as I sat on the front porch waiting for Asher's white SUV to pull up any minute. And sure enough, he pulled up at exactly 6:30am.I stood up and dusted imaginary dirt from my jeans as I got into his car. "Morning.""Morning," Ash responded with a small smile on his face. "Are you ready for an incredible morning looking for the best puppy ever?" he beamed as he began driving."Of course. Steph will totally be all over you today," I mused.Asher took a quick glance at me as he s

OVER THE NEXT week, my relationship with the guys was beginning to evolve into something more than just mere acquaintanceship. I was spending so much time with them working on the assignment and getting to know them better.Nick was slowly opening up to me and in all honesty, he wasn't a bad guy-just reserved. But once you got to know him, then you wish you'd known him earlier."Hey!" Jake said as he took a seat next to me on the bleachers."Hey!" I responded with a smile. "What brings you here?""I don't know. I just saw you and decided to come here," he admitted. "And what are you doing here exactly?" he asked raising a perfect eyebrow."Waiting for Asher," I replied. "But he's still practicing so I decided to get some studying down." I said as I looked down at the field where Asher and his team were trying to get the football past their goal keeper, Dwayn

I CAN'T BELIEVE my mum managed to get me to go shopping with her. But what I couldn't believe the most was the fact that I actually willingly agreed to her proposal.I stood there staring at my reflection in the mirror, the girl that stared back at me wasn't me, she looked absolutely different. She had on a cream pastel dress that hugged her too tightly on her torso, which was a little too revealing and reached mid-thigh."Come out Alexis, you've been in there for so long," Asher groaned from the other side of the cubicle."No way am I coming out looking like this," I replied."Why not?" Asher questioned."Because I look like a desperate prostitute or hooker or whatever."I heard Asher chuckling from the other side. "We'll be the judge of that. Now come out.""Come out honey, we just want to see how you look," my mum spoke in her soft delicate voice. "Won't you do that for me?"I hated how she could get me to do anything with those

I SAT ON my bed revisiting all the events that took place over the weekend. My life was beginning to feel like those clichéd movies they always show on TV.I didn't know how my life turned into a movie, but what I did know was it was all my mum's doing and I did not like it one bit. I did not appreciate her trying to set me up with one of my new friends. It didn't work like that. They were the first actual friends I made aside from Asher.I grabbed my phone and dialled the one person I knew would always give me good advice. He picked up on the second ring."Alexis!" he said. "To what do I owe this call at such an ungodly hour?" he asked but I could hear the amusement in his words."Why are you being so formal all of a sudden?" I said laughing. "Can't I just call because I want to?" I asked. "Plus, it's noon not past midnight.""No! No, you can't. You always want something so what is it?" he questioned."It's always straight to business with you,"

WHEN I WOKE up the next morning, the first thing I knew I was definitely going to do was avoid Nick at all costs. I couldn't be around him knowing full well what my mum did and how she had embarrassed me in front of him and his little sister.So here I am, standing by my locker with Asher as I constantly kept looking over my shoulder so I could spot him and then make a mad dash for it."Why do you keep looking over your shoulder as if you're expecting someone?" Ash asked as he leaned on the locker next to mine."That's because I am trying to spot someone and make sure he doesn't see me," I replied as I continued to arrange my books according to my class schedule."Who? and why?""Nick," I said. I didn't want to retell the story over again but knowing Asher, he was not going to have it so I told him the shorter version. "When you ditched me on Saturday which by the way I have not forgotten, mum had a few plans up her sleeve and thought it would be fun to
