EXARHOU

September

Classes were unproductive as expected for the first day of school at Remsenburg, the fancy and exclusive preparatory boarding school for the rich and (truthfully) unwanted spoiled teenagers from the Westhampton area.

The newest, most popular place to go to after the first day of school is the newly opened ice cream parlor, Sally's Ice Cream. Exactly where Alexandria and Megan were heading to.

"Megan! Watch the road!" Alexandria screeched as she grabbed the steering wheel of Megan's BMW from swerving into head on traffic. As usual, she was looking at her own reflection in the mirror.

She flipped her blonde hair and shrugged, "It's okay." She said.

Alexandria stared at her friend with a blank look. Her green eyes narrowed at Megan's oblivious expression.

She made a mental note to drive next time. she read the nearest street sign ahead of her. They were just passing Old Mill Road and would be at the ice cream shop in a matter of minutes. The two girls were meeting their friend Mike.

In exactly five minutes- just as Alexandria had predicted- the two girls pulled into the parking lot of Sally's.

"Aleeex." Mike drawled just as Alexandria then Megan entered. Mike sat rather comfortably with his feet propped up onto one of the white table with a large cup of ice cream in his hand. All three of them matched with the same white, green, and black uniform.

"Miiike." Alex replied just as flirtatiously.

Their flirtation was never something to be taken completely serious- that was just how Mike was. The ladies loved him and he loved them right back. However, he wasn't a player, of course he had a few hookups here and there, but Mike was a good guy, good intentions at least. He was Megan's and Alexandria's best guy friend.

The three of them sat comfortably while eating their ice cream. Megan was talking about the new teachers and of course added some gossip.

"Alex, please tell me you saw the new kid." Megan began, her tone serious yet pleading. Alex paused mid-bite and slowly shook her head no.

"No, why? I didn't even know we had a new kid."

"He's cool. I have bio with him. He's straight." Mike added.

Mike's comment meant the new kid cool-someone they all would get along with at least.

It wasn't as though Mike, Megan, and Alexandria were stuck up to the point that they didn't let anyone who didn't 'fit' with them hang out with them. In fact, it was more of the opposite, they were open to anyone. But now as seniors and most of their friends having graduated already in the previous years, it was left to them three with the addition of about fifteen or so others in their group. Keep in mind Remsenburg School isn't large at all, their class only being about a hundred.

"He's so fucking hot, Alex." Megan stated. Her body language emphasizing her claim. "Like, holy shit. He's one of the hottest guys I've ever seen."

Alexandria laughed. She rolled her eyes at Megan and ran a hand through her dark hair.

"What classes do you have with him?"

"Economics of all things, but tomorrow, you need to meet him. I forget his name though-" Megan trailed off, her eyes roaming to Mike. She looked at him expectantly.

"Bobby. Bobby Drake." He said, not at all surprised by Megan's lack of knowledge.

"Oh, yeah. Bobby, he's a total babe. He's blonde and tall. And you know he's packin' that body." Megan nodded convincingly. Mike roared in laughter.

"Jesus, Megan. And you're packin' on the hormones. Chill." He said rather loudly. Alexandria couldn't help but giggle. Megan rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, you'll just have to wait and see Alex." She replied.

Alex just smiled and took another lick of ice cream from her spoon. Her green eyes bright with humor at how serious Megan was being.

The second day of school was just as productive as the last, . All they did in class was read the same class and school rules. Alexandria sat next to Megan in their fifth period, English.

"Okay, at lunch we have to find him, and he can sit with us." Megan confirmed.

Alexandria scrolled through twitter. She peered up at Megan with a ridiculous look.

"Okay." She shrugged. She was used to Megan getting excited over boys, but not this obsessive. With only a few minutes till the bell rang for lunch, Megan packed up her notebook and other belongings.

"You know, I was looking forward to getting lunch off campus... Mike's going to the deli." Alexandria began.

"But today we're staying on campus, and everyday after we can eat somewhere else." She strongly stated, she then gave a pleading look to Alex who in turn just rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Fine, but I'm not waiting in line long. The food here is shit anyways."

Alexandria peered over the food counter, brushing a lock of dark straight hair behind her ear, she made a face at the food quality. It was supposed to be some type of Parmesan crusted chicken, looked more like shredded meat with balls of cheese scattered around. She refused to eat that and only shook her head and carried on to the fruit salad further down the line.

She picked up a bowl of the salad and proceeded to pay. Megan was already seated at a table and was on the lookout for Bobby- if she hadn't already found the poor boy.

Alexandria fastened her backpack tighter against her shoulder as she left the line and went back to Megan's table.

Now she wasn't at all surprised by what she saw just a few feet in front of her. Megan and a well built blonde man was sitting across her. This must be Bobby Drake.

"Alex!" Megan announced as Alex was just a few short steps away. Alexandria watched Megan with her brow highly raised. "Bobby, this is Alex. Alex, Bobby."

The blonde man turned in his seat.

Bright blue eyes narrowed as he smiled. Alexandria moved to take the seat on either side of Megan and Bobby.

"Hi, Bobby. Nice to meet you, I'm Alexandria." Alexandria smiled with her hand outstretched. She observed Bobby's features, his strong cheekbones, bright eyes, and dashing smile. She could see how Megan was already obsessed with the boy.

"Bobby Drake, pleasure is mine."

"So, you're new to Remsenburg?" Alex asked as she popped off the lid to the salad container.

"Yup, came from Manchester. How long have you been going here?"

Alexandria glanced up at him then down to her food. She wasn't used to that question.

"All my life. This is the only school I've ever been to." She admitted with a small smile.

Megan looked on between the two. She was on edge with how the conversation would go and what Bobby would ask next. Everyone knew that Alex had been at Remsenburg all her life. Everyone knew she didn't have a family to go home to. That's why nobody asked.

Bobby looked at her carefully, his expression unchanged and still maintained his pleasant character.

"That's not too bad. I've been to so many schools I've lost count, actually." He said, his tone sympathetic.

Alexandria looked up, somewhat in a surprise at his choice of response. She smiled and glanced at Megan.

Megan smirked at Alex before getting Bobby's attention.

"So, Bobby, what class do you have next?" She asked while propping her elbows on the table.

"European history, what about you?"

"Chem! Euro is across the hall from me!" She said, rather too happily.

"What do you have Alexandria?"

"Astronomy in the planetarium." Alex added in between bites.

For the rest of lunch, Alexandria wasn't involved much in the conversation. Not that she wish she wasn't even present or that she didn't want to talk, Megan was the leader of conversation and whatever it was that the two were discussing Alexandria didn't have anything else to add. She didn't mind not talking either, she would often laugh at something Bobby would say or even Megan.

The bell signaling the end of lunch rang and the three of them stood and began to head for the double doors to the courtyard.

Megan and Bobby were engaged in some discussion concerning their teacher in econ and were walking towards their classrooms, which were in the opposite direction as Alexandria's.

"Alright, guys, I'm heading this way." Alexandria began, stopping in her place. "Bobby, it was great meeting you. I'll see you both around!" She finished as she began walking backwards to her own class.

Bobby looked at her curiously with his brow furrowed but nonetheless still waved and said a goodbye. Megan nodded and shouted, "I'll text you!"

The rest of the day finished with a breeze and Alexandria waited at her car for Megan.

"Alex! You wanna grab some food?" Mike shouted from across the parking lot. Alex turned around and walked over to where Mike was parked.

"Where you wanna go?"

"El Adobe, I'm in the mood for some Mexican food." Mike said after some thought.

"It is Taco Tuesday." Alex confirmed. She rested against the car and watched the students leaving campus. "I met the new kid by the way, Bobby."

"What'd you think."

"I like him, Megan loves him." Alexandria spotted Megan leaving with Bobby next to her.

Mike scoffed.

"Of course she does." He rolled his eyes then reached over to lay his arm over Alexandria's shoulder, she flinched at his touch but paid no mind to the odd soreness in her shoulders. The two walked back over to Alexandria's car and met Bobby and Megan.

"Hey man." Mike greeted. Him and Bobby exchanged hello's.

"We getting food somewhere?" Megan asked. The four of us were leaning against our cars.

"El Adobe." Mike said bluntly. Alex ran a hand through her hair and leaned forward. She was so sore, her muscles suddenly ached and she had no idea why.

"I think I'm gonna head home. I'm tired as fuck." Alexandria added. She looked to each of her friends. Megan looked at her oddly, she knew Alexandria never opted out at food after school, especially Taco Tuesday.

"I'll come over later." Megan demanded. Alex looked at her and nodded.

"Alright, bye, guys." Alex said and climbed into her own Jaguar. Mike and Bobby nodded to her as she pulled out of the lot.

"Is she alright?" Mike asked looking to Megan. Bobby stood patiently looking to both. Meg threw her backpack into the backseat and gestured for the two to get in.

"I'm sure she's fine."
