Disclaimer: Jeff owns himself but I own any original characters, including Alexis who is one of main people involved.
Summary: Jeff is bored with his life and thrives for a change. When Alexis enters his life, that wish for a difference comes true. But will things change his life for the better? Will fate test their futures? And what is Alexis hiding?
Jeff Hardy sat in his Art class, bored out of his mind. The teacher had been rambling on for the past ten minutes about Van Gogh and one of his paintings. Normally, he enjoyed Art but today was definitely an exception. Worse still, it was only quarter of an hour into the lesson. Life had been boring though lately. The only one thing that had kept his interest was wrestling. Fair enough, he had lots going for him like good grades, good friends and a girlfriend; he was still uninterested in everything.
All of sudden, an unfamiliar girl walked into the room after knocking on the door. Jeff was instantly mesmerised by her. She had medium length jet- black hair, pale skin and a stunning figure. Clad in bootleg jeans and a white tank top with a small red heart on, teamed with a red belt, she looked simple yet stunning, unlike the other girls who wore barely-there outfits. She wore little makeup but it let her real beauty shine through. Shyly, she quietly talked to the teacher. Jeff could barely make out her voice.
"Okay class, this is Alexis. Please make her feel welcome. Umm, you can sit next to Jeff seeing as Nathan isn't present today," Mrs Knight informed. Alexis looked uncomfortable with everyone's eyes on her as she walked to her seat. "Now that I've finished talking, everyone can continue with their projects. Jeff can you explain to Alexis what we've been doing?"
"Sure," he agreed, politely. "Hi, I'm Jeff Hardy," he introduced himself as, offering his hand and a warm smile.
"Hi, I'm Alexis Turner," she answered, shaking his hand. "So, what am I supposed to be doing?"
"Basically just finding a famous painting and adapt it as your own using your imagination," he explained as she nodded in understanding. "So, care to tell me a little about yourself?"
"What do you want to know?" she questioned but held some apprehension to her voice which confused Jeff slightly. Before they could continue their conversation though, a pretty blonde petite crawled behind Jeff and wrapped her arms around his neck. He twisted his head and kissed the girl quickly on the lips. Alexis felt somewhat relieved that she didn't have to talk to Jeff. It wasn't that she didn't like him; hell, she hardly knew him, she just didn't want to have to explain certain things about herself. Things that differentiated her from the mostly the rest of the school.
Soon enough, morning lessons had finished and she went for lunch. Alexis soon found herself in the cafeteria. Nothing seemed appetising. She was still starving though. Finally decided to just have a bottle of water, she made her way to a quiet little table to write. Over the past year or so, she found that writing helped clear mind, get her feelings out without having to confide in anyone. True, she was close with her mother, they were practically best friends, but she had been busy lately with her new boyfriend and all. Pulling out her decorated notebook, she wrote:
Nothing seems to matter now,
Summer's over, I'm left with winter.
The cold nights,
And frosty days.
No longer any sun or shine,
Just rain and snow,
Draughts and storms.
I'll wait till next summer,
When the sun breaks through,
I'll then know,
If things can be all right again
It was only a quick poem she wrote. Fact was, she did feel like she was miserable now that winter was here. It wouldn't be until Spring or Summer when she knew what was going to happen to her life. She often wished her life was back to normal, the way it was two years ago. Then, her parents were still happily in love, she had amazing friends, lived near to her family, and had a fantastic boyfriend. But all that had changed and now she felt more alone than ever.
"Hey," a recognizable voice came from behind. "Can I sit here?"
"Yeah I guess. Jeff, right?" Alexis asked, closing her book. He nodded and sat opposite her across the table. "So, how come you aren't sitting with your friends?"
"They're off for a smoke. I'm not into all that. They tend to give me grief about it so I just leave them," he responded, taking a bite from his apple. "Can I ask you something?" After she nodded, he carried on, "I know you're in a new school and that but why do you seem so…almost cautious of people?"
"Umm…I just don't like getting too close to people except my mum."
Just before he was going to say anything more, Jeff spotted his older brother Matt and best friends, Shannon and Shane walking towards them. He slapped their hands and joined them to sit down. Jeff introduced everyone to Alexis but she just simply smiled then remained silent, feigning interest on the edge of her folder. She hardly noticed when the four guys tried talking to her. Instead, she thought about what was going on in her life. A single tear slipped down her cheek before she grabbed her belongings and charged from the room, leaving the others, especially Jeff, bewildered.
Ok, well I know it's not much of a start but I haven't had time to make it longer. I have a hospital appointment! I hate hospitals but I have to go seeing as I'm pregnant with twins!! Anyways, you can cheer me up by reviewing my story and I promise, it'll get interesting. I have the big storyline of the fic but any suggestions are welcome and I'll try to work them in somewhere. :) Anyways, more soon!! And remember, review!
