Hello everyone! This is my first AR fanfic, so wish me luck. I've read a one-shot very similar to the beginning of this story that I just wrote, but I don't recall what the story is called or who wrote it. All I know is that I liked it so much that I wanted to write my own, but instead of it being a one-shot it would be a whole story. So if whoever wrote that one-shot that I'm talking about, thank you. And if you don't want me to have written this, just write it in a review and I'll take my story off immediately. I'm really sorry that I can't find this person to ask permission.
A few other things you should know:
1. I'm not British, I'm American. So I'm trying my best here. (It's really awkward to write about the whole football thing, since in the U.S. football is only a guys sport and I've written "girl's football game" here. So that was a bit weird). Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.
2. I haven't read the Alex Rider books in a while, so correct me if you see anything wrong.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider
Please R & R.
Brianna was walking home after the boy's football game. Another loss, she thought sighing. This season was supposed to be great. Brianna herself couldn't play football, she'd fractured her wrist a week ago and wasn't cleared to play. But she was determined to show her support and attended every girl's football game. Sometimes she showed up to the boy's games as well, which was the case today.
She came to a cross walk and checked the road to see if any cars were driving by. Across the street, something caught her eye. No, someone caught her eye: Alex Rider. He just came out of the Royal and General Bank and was staring at his feet as he began walking toward the street.
Brianna hadn't seen Alex since a few weeks back. What did he have again? Pnemonia? The flu? She couldn't remember. All she knew was that Alex wasn't at school and he wasn't at the game. Which, she thought, he should have been because he's on the team. He's the starting forward. Or he was the starting forward. Ever since he began disappearing Nate's been starting. But he's not half as good as Alex.
Alex looked up and took a step forward, about to cross the street.
Suddenly, he froze, and stumbled forward, falling.
"Alex?" Brianna called, a hitch in her voice, as she began sprinting across the street. "Alex!"
The world seemed to stop as she reached him and knelt down. There was a growing red stain on the front of his green shirt, right near his heart. Realization dawned on her... he'd been shot. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at his face. His eyes already half closed, his expression one she couldn't decipher.
Why in the world would someone shoot Alex?
Suddenly she was surrounded by people. Grownups with high tech radios, speaking quickly into them.
"Search the block, he's gotta be around here somewhere."
"St. Dominics? Of course, but I don't think he's going to make it."
"Watch out. Get away from here."
The last instructions were directed to her, but Brianna didn't realize. She was too focused on the boy she barely knew.
"Girl! Move." Someone grabbed her under her arms and pulled her away from Alex's lifeless form. The women who pulled her was wearing a grey suit and smelled faintly of peppermint.
"Go home child," she said, her face full of sadness.
Brianna just nodded and began walking away. There was something mysterious about Alex, the whole school knew that. And she knew she'd just seen a glimpse into his life... even if it was over so quickly. Alex's secret was safe with her.
Review... please?
And remember, if this seems a bit like your one-shot that you wrote oh so long ago, let me know what you want me to do with it. But I really want to continue writing this and make it a story. Thank you.
