Stevie/Alex WoWP

I don't know what caused it, nor do I care. All I know is my normally unbearable daughter is now more bearable. She is getting up for school on time and not whining as much, she even joind Harpers sewing club as an after school activity,well an after detention. Hey, you take what you can get. It's a good thing, Jerry on the other hand thinks something is up.

"It's drugs." he says after the kids leave for school.

"Jerry, if it was drugs she would be asleep still."

"Not all drugs make you drousy."

I just roll my eyes at him and continue wipping down tables.

"I'm gonna test her."

"What!"

"Don't worry Teresa, it's a spell and harmless. I'll test all of them, just to be sure."

"Jerry come on."

"No I'm going to do it tonight." With that he walked off to get the ready for our first costumer.

..

"About time." I mumble as I pushing to snooze button on my alarm. I had been staring at it for the past fifteen minutes. I pull the covers off and get up. with a quick flick of my wrist I'm dressed and ready for school.

'Who am I kidding.' i think as i check myself in the mirror. perfect.

I make my way down stairs and grab a glass of juice. Mom smiles at me and dad just watches me. Justin comes down next followed by Max.

"You two ready yet?" I ask a bit to eager.

They all just look at me and cork an eyebrow.

"What?" I feign innocentce.

They just continue on their morning routine.

Justin and Max finish their breakfast and grab their bags, I'm already out the door.

Harper is waiting at the corner per usual and we walk to school together.

I start talking about a new spell we learned the other day. Well one i learned while flipping through our text books while dad talked about something or another.

"Bye Alex." Harper interrupts me.

"What?" I ask confused. She smirks at me then I'm pulled into an alley way with a yelp.

"Calm down princess." I hear from behind me as strong arms wrap themselves around me.

"You scared me." I say with a slight pout.

"I thought Harper warned you."

"No she just said bye."

"Alex!" I hear Justin yell as i hear footstep running towards the alley.

"See you in school." Stevie whispers into my ear. God she knows how much that turns me on. Then she flashes out of the alley way.

"Alex!" Justin rounds the corner, face flush and fist ready.

I know he's trying to protect me but I can't help but laugh. Stevie could totally kick his ass.

I walk past him and pat his shoulder. Max gives me a knowing smile and I roll my eyes at him.

"I'm going to find out who this guy is if it kills me." Justin mumbles.

"Maybe one day you will, I mean today you almost made it if you hadn't stopped to catch your breath." Max quipped.

"Shut up." With that the two brothers continued their walk to school, Justin keeping a close eye on his sister a few feet in front of them.

He got a small grin on his face as he noticed who was walking by her. Harper.

'She has to know.' He thought to himself.

School went as usual. Alex slept in class, only waking to talk with Harper. At lunch she, Harper, and Stevie sat together. slight flirting going on, but nothing to noticable to those not in the know.

In fact only a handful of trusted confidants knew. And Max.

4:00 p.m. rolls around and I'm off to detention as usual.

"Dang it Alex, I asked you to at least use shaving cream. Whipped cream gets the desk and ceiling sticky and ants start coming in." Joe the janitor whined as she walked by Mr. Laritate's office. the reason for her next week of detention.

"Sorry, I forgot. Next time though." She said with a wink and a wave. Joe just shook his head and started scrubbing again.

Alex made her down the familiar path to the detention room. Ms. Brook was a young substitute that also handled detention while the usual teacher was out on medical leave. The kids in detention loved her. You walk in, sign in, and walk out after Laritate does his check before leaving home.

Alex walked in and said hi the Eddy and them as she made her way to the back of the room. She sat down, placed her book bag on the desk and stared at the door.

'Come on, I know you got detention, I saw you getting a slip from Coach Connor.' Alex thought as she focused her gaze on the door.

"Don't worry Russo, she'll be here." Eddy said. She turned to him and them and smiled a little. They were the first to know. Even before Harper knew they did. In fact it was eddy and them who set the two of them up. They have been supportive from the beginning.

Alex snapped back to the door hearing keys jiggling down the hall. She knew it was Stevie. Sure as can be it was her. Alex glanced back at Eddy and them who looked at her with an I told ya so smirk on their faces. She turned back to Stevie, who had her hood from her jacket on, as she signed in.

'Huh, thats weird. She never pulls the hood, not even in rain.'

Ms. Brook took the list and looked up at Stevie to make sure the name matched the face. A look of shock and concern crossed her face. Stevie immediately turn and walked over to her seat before Ms. Brook could say anything. Not making eye contact with anyone, even Alex. She sat down and put her head down.

Now Alex was concerned as well as Eddy and them. Stevie never acted like this before, and by the look on Ms. Brooks face something was wrong. Before Alex could lean over and ask what was wrong Laritate walked in the room and scooped up the list from Ms. Brook.

"Well looks like we have a full corral today." Laritate spoke with his fake southern accent. Looking over the list he did a quick head count and saw Stevie with her head down.

"Miss Nicols, if you don't want Saturday school I suggest you pick your head up and take that hood off." After a second a defeted sigh fell from her lips and she sat up and removed her hood.

Alex gasped slightly at the sight. Eddy and them hissed as if they too felt the sting she was surly feeling right now. Laritate didn't seem to noticed anything since he had chosen that moment to clean his glasses. He was the blury figure at the back of the class sit up and remove her hood and he nodded his approval.

"See you kids Monday." He said as he slipped his glasses on picked up the sign-in sheet and walked off.

"What the hell?" Alex jumped out of her seat and rushed over to Stevie. Carefully putting her hands on either side of her face, paying careful attention not to get near the black eye forming on left side.

"Dang son what happened?" One of them asked.

"Stevie, you okay?" Ms. Brook asked making her way to the back.

"I'm fine , nurse said it was okay. I got hit in P.E." She explained to the sub.

"Okay, put ice when you get home alright." Ms. Brook said making her way back to the front, spotting Mr. Laritate pulling onto the street and heading home.

"Okay kids time to get gone." She said grabbing her purse and waiting at the door for them to exit the room before locking it.

The kids wasted no time gathering their things and walking out the door and school.

Once outside Alex turned and stopped Stevie to further examine her eye.

"Alex really, it's not that bad."

"Yes it is now hold still." She demanded. "Who did this?"

"I told you, i got hit in P.E."

"Your lieing. You didn't dress out thats why you got detention today."

Stevie stood there and said nothing. Alex stood and stared her down.

"Okay it was one of the meat heads. Didn't see which one."

"Thats okay, we'll kick all their asses." Eddy said, getting a resounding 'Yeah' from them.

"Woah, calm down everyone." Stevie tried but was cut off by Alex.

"Calm Down! Look at your face!" Alex yelled causing Stevie to flinch a little. "Who ever did this is going to get their ass kicked by me, Eddy, and them."

A nearly unified 'hell yeah' came from Eddy and them.

"Hey guys do you mind. Not that i don't appreciate it but I need to talk with my girl for a second, okay."

"Okay, but if you need us you call." Eddy said before they turned and started home.

Stevie turned her attention back to a very pissed Alex.

"What the hell?" Alex asked again.

"I don't know, one second I'm walkin' to detention and next thing I get decked out of no where."

"How do you know it was a jock if you didn't see who did it?"

"I saw him turn the corner down science hall he had on his practice uniform."

"Practice uniforms have numbers on them, what number was it?"

"I don't know Alex."

"Stevie what number was..."

"I Don't Know okay! Jeez, can we just go to my place please and for get this." Stevie asked pulling alex against her.

"Okay. Besides Ms. Brook is right, you need to put ice on that."

Stevie smiled at Alex and leaned down to kiss her. It was short and sweet. A girlie kiss that Alex hated and loved at the same time.
