I fell into a really deep plot hole. It wouldn't let me out.
Anyways, here's my first Alex Rider oneshot! Tell me what you think!
Disclaimer: Nope. Sorry.
Matt Roswell and his gang were snooping around after hearing that Alex Rider was back in school.
During Alex's "away-time," as everyone called it, the ring of boys had ganged up on smaller kids. New bullies, that hadn't got a chance to beat the famous "Alex Rider" up yet.
Overtime, the gang grew to a number of seven strong. True, it wasn't that big, really, but most bullies came in trios and duos.
Back to the present. Matt and his right-hand man, Damon, had found Alex's desk, his bag abandoned. Snickering, they eagerly opened it. Shuffling through, they found what most people had. A book, some papers, homework, pencils, and a cell phone.
A cell phone… Nah. They already had enough of those.
Sighing in frustration, Matt dug his hand in deeper, and exclaimed in surprise when his fingers curled around something cold and hard. Fumbling, he pulled it out.
It was an orange bottle, with a flexible white cap. It had a sticker on the side, like prescription drug medicine. Shocked, they stared at it as they stood up. They were about to take it for further examination – and as a good tool for blackmailing) – when the school bell rang.
Well, shit!
Too late. Before they could scurry back to their desks, the class filled in, Alex and Tom lagging behind in the back. In their stupidity, they forgot to hide the bottle of white pills they snuck out.
A handful of people noticed the bottle and the fact that Alex's bag was open on the floor. Startled, they stopped in their tracks, along with Alex and Tom.
Suddenly Alex felt a wave of seething anger wash over him as he saw the two boys staring dumbfounded at him. Gritting his teeth, he ground out, "What do you think you're doing?"
Matt jerked the bottle so he could see it clearly, and retorted, "Doing drugs, Rider?"
Unfortunately, the teacher had walked in at that point.
"What is going on here?" asked an angry Mr. Brown. He had seen the exchange between the three students. Before any side could answer, he walked up to Matt and Damon and plucked the bottle from between their fingers. Turning it so he could read the tag, he held it up so he could see better.
The class waited as Alex turned his face away, ashamed. A couple people smirked triumphantly at his expression.
"Alex, why are you taking antidepressants?"
That was unexpected.
"Why do you wear glasses?" retorted Alex, walking up to him to get his pills back.
"I'm sorry Alex." Yeah, right. If he really was sorry, he would've at least talked to him in private. "I have to tell the headmaster that you have drugs in your possession. – "
"The bloody headmaster already knows!" growled Alex, snatching the pills from the startled teacher's hand. He scooped up his bag from the floor and, grimacing as he popped a pill into his mouth, and left the stunned classroom.
What an interesting day.
Do you get the glasses thing?
Don't forget to review! i love to hear from you guys!
