Alec
I was sick of it, sick of the expectations and all of the rules. I was sick of it a long time ago but now, after keeping all of my feelings bottled up for so long, they're starting to explode at the most inconvenient times. I feel confused all the time and I have no idea how to fix it.
This morning was no different. My alarm went off twice before I swung my legs off the side of the bed and walked into the bathroom attached to my bedroom. Hissing in surprise as my bare feet made contact with the cold tile. My shower only took five minutes, and then I got dressed in my usual holey jeans. Grabbing a maroon t-shirt from my top drawer I put it on and sighed at the monotonous cycle that is my life. Slipping on some Vans I grabbed my backpack and made my way downstairs. I ran my fingers through my black hair while walking into the kitchen. The rest of my family was already there, sitting on the bar stools and eating cereal. I touched my front pocket briefly, confirming my cell phone and my pack of cigarettes where indeed in their rightful spot.
My mother looked up upon my arrival and grimaced, "Alec dear, why do you insist on wearing those worn out jeans. If you need new ones I'm sure Izzy would be more than happy to accompany you." Glancing over at my sister she appeared ecstatic at the very mention of buying new things. I didn't look back at my mother instead opting for a quick escape. Grabbing my cars keys off of their hook and peered back over my shoulder, "I don't need new jeans mom," then quickly changing the subject, "Izzy, Jace if you want a ride to school I'm leaving."
I could hear my mother sigh exasperatingly, and saw Jace hurriedly shove the rest of his Lucky Charms into his mouth. Resting my forehead against the steering wheel I waited for my younger siblings to get into the car. "Well little Miss Alec isn't in a very good mood this morning." I could feel Jace smirking at me from his spot in the back seat. "I need a cigarette." That's all I said the whole way to school. I didn't feel like talking. When pulling into the school parking lot I sat back and zoned out, dreading the walk of shame up the stairs and through the front doors. Izzy rubbed my shoulder gently and Jace got out and slammed the car door. I glanced over at her but quickly look away when I see the pity in her eyes. It's the only emotion people seem to feel towards me. I hated it almost as much as I hated why that look was given.
Glaring at my reflection in the rearview mirror the first thing I noticed were the dark color beneath my blue eyes. I haven't been getting much sleep, adding insomniac to my list of problems I brushed off Isabelle's dainty hand and got out of the car. After waiting for my sister to get out I hurried up the steps, trying to get to my locker unnoticed. Of course it seems that when you're trying to go unnoticed people notice you the most. I tripped over someone's leg, falling hard on my hands and knees, sliding across the linoleum floor. I could hear to roar of laughter from my peers. Looking up I see none other than Sebastian Verlac. His pale blonde hair sitting atop his head like a halo, but the expression on his face off set his angelic features. His smirk grew into a full out grin as I touched my bleeding lip tenderly. I looked past Sebastian and stared right into Jace's golden orbs. Along with insomniac, stab wound in the back was added to my list of problems. A list that seemed a mile long and didn't stop growing no matter what I do.
I stumbled to my feet and rushed down the hall bypassing my locker completely. Instead going right to my first hour, being the first one there I took a seat in the very back. Looking back up the front of the class I realized I wasn't the only one here. Standing next to the teacher's desk was a boy. His back was turned to me but I assumed he was new considering his quiet conversation with the teacher. His black hair was fashioned into a bed head style. He looked to be a couple inches taller than me, which was quite the accomplishment, considering my six foot three inch frame. The mysterious boy was wearing a patterned button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His designer jeans were tight and hugging all the right places and folded at the ankles. I may have taken some extra time admiring his butt. Finally his feet were clad in red TOMS.
After a while I forced my self to look away convincing myself that admiring him would do nothing. Just as I was about to lay my head down on my desk my phone started going off. Realizing I hadn't turned the volume off since my alarm went off this morning. I fished it out of my pocket and rushed to turn it off. Then my teacher's voice sounded from the front of the room. "Alec try not to let that happen when school starts, okay?" I looked up and started to apologize, "I'm sorry." The word trailing off and getting lost in the awkward silence as I looked up into the most beautiful green eyes that I had ever seen.
My first story on , so exciting! Anyways I don't really plan on continuing this story unless people read it so think of this as a pilot of sorts. If you like it and want to read more let me know. If you don't like it then also let me know. Even if you just have a few suggestions I would love to hear them. I think my writing needs some improvement so if you have any advice, lay it on me :D anyways, I hope you enjoyed it.
