Char.1

"Alex, wake up. You'll be late for your first day of school" Mrs. Pleasure said shaking me. I was still a little shaken by what was happening like I was in slow motion while the rest of the world was in regular. I got up and took a look in the mirror. I was still paler the usually and thinner. But now I was in San Francisco with Sabrina and her parents.

My legal guardians.

Jack was dead. It hit me with full in the face all over again.

I moved to the bathroom and took a shower, throw on some clothes and went down stairs. "Good morning , Alex" Sabrina leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Sabrina. My awesome girlfriend. When I thought of her I thought of everything beautiful and sweet.

"BEEP!"

"school bus is here. Let's go!" Sabrina said rushing out the door. I follow behind her not wanting to be late.

"Come on, I'll show you the office." Sabrina said grabbing my wrist. When we walk into the office all the heads turned to them and the noise abruptly stopped." Sorry we'll come back later..."Sabrina said as she started backing out the door.

" Are you Alex Rider" the person at the head of the table asked.

"Yes" I said stepping forward.

" I'd like to talk with you"

"ok"

"why don't you sit down"

He sat down in a old leather chair." look here, I know who you are and I know what you've done. So don't expect any special treatment." then more gently " if you need someone talk to my door is always open and so is your teacher's. Now off with you" he finished pointing at the door.

I walked down the hall with my hood up. Sabrina showed me my locker and now we're going to the bio lab.

As we walked in they saw the teacher, Mr. McMahon with a hand pistol. "Now as you see class this pistol may seem small but it is deadly. Ah you must be the new student Alex . Welcome to room 618." Now the gun was pointed a Alex."Today is gun and drugs..."

He didn't get to finish that sentence because I dropped to my knees with my hands over his ears." Go away, go away" I started to mutter. I was sweating and my face was drained of all color. "Alex are you ok?..." Mr. McMahon started to ask when Sabrina interrupted

"he's afraid of guns. His uncle was shot and died. He also got shot and almost died. Please put it away. He thinks that you will shoot him." she said in a hurry as she walked over to me and tried to calm me down. All the heads were turning from Me to Sabrina to seeing what would happen.

Just then the window bursted open. The glass shattered every where."Alex Rider" said a metallic voice. Suddenly something hard and cold grabbed my arm. It pulled at my arm so hard it felt like it would pop out.

" Noooo..." Sabrina shouted as my arm was pulled from grasp. "Alex I love you!" Sabrina shouted as I was dragged throw the smash window.

A sickly - sweet smell reach my nose. I fought for consciousness. She loves me! She loves me. I kept thinking as I went into a blissful darkness.
