Beginning Notes

So, I randomly got inspired in the middle of the night. Hope y'all like this fierrochase fic. And all characters belong to Rick Riordan.

Oh, just to make matters a little less confusing, I made Alex live with Sam.

Alex's POV

'Would Alex Fierro please report at the principals office?' As I stand up, Sam asks: 'Hey sis, what did you do?' 'I don't know,' I answered and made my way to the principals office.

'Mr. Fierro, please come in,' the principal said when I knocked on the door. 'Miss,' I corrected him. 'Sorry. Sit down, I have something to discuss with you.'

'I've heard my colleagues say that you don't really have any friends. Is this true?' 'Why would it matter if I have any friends?' I ask. See, this might be a bit creepy, that teacher know whether you have friends or not, but this is a very small school. So the teachers decided that it would be a good idea to look out for the students. Sometimes, it can be great, if you have a problem you can talk with them, and they'll help you. Sometimes, they can be stalking jerks. Like when they want to know if you have friends or not. It's called privacy assholes.

'Anyway, to answer your question, you don't need to be lonely. Friends can support you at any time, even when you least expect it.' 'Sam can support me.' 'Miss Fierro, you can't expect your sister to always be by your side. We just want you to be happy. You just always seem to be a bit lost. Like you're in a different world.' 'I'm sorry to burst your bubble sir, but I am happy,' I said. 'Alex.' he said, looking me dead in the eye. Shit. If they call you by your first name, it's serious.

'Do you know about the school party?' he asks. 'This Friday evening right?' I ask. 'Yes, we want you to go there and make some friends,' he said as if it was the most normal thing in the world. 'I'm not paying to go to some stupid party,' I say. 'That's what I thought you'd say. That's why you get to go for free, but you must go.' 'Fine. But I'm not doing it by free will,' I say. I get up and leave the office before he can say another word.

No friends. Ha! I don't need bloody friends. And what the hell did he mean by 'like you're in a different world'? I usually just stare. Stare into the distance, stare into space, stare out the window, stare at Magnus, stare- wait a minute... Did I just say stare at Magnus? I don't stare at Magnus. Do I?

When I sit down next to Sam, she asks: 'What did he want?' 'Forced me to go to the dumb party.' 'Why?' 'I need to make friends.' Sam laughs. 'What?' I ask. 'Well, you do need friends, but it's just so sad that the school thinks that too.' 'Gee thanks sis.' I say sarcastically.

Samirah's POV

Alex needed friends. It was too sad for words. I decided to buy a ticket to the party. I wasn't planning on going, but I can't let Alex go alone. That would just be cruel.

The next hour was French. Alex and I sit together in the back. 'I bought a ticket,' I say. 'Really? You don't have to go, you know,' she says. 'I can't let you go alone, besides, I need to make sure you don't make any friends with the wrong kind,' I teased.

French starts and everyone starts taking notes. Except Alex. She's staring again. I follow her gaze to see her staring at Magnus. 'Why are you staring at him?' 'I'm not staring at Magnus,' she answers immediately. 'I never said it was Magnus,' I say. 'Well, it doesn't matter, because I'm staring out the window.' 'You sure you're not staring at the boy in front of the window?' 'Yes I'm sure, now please shut up.'

Well, that's new. Alex has a crush on Magnus. I have to admit, I didn't see that coming. Guess I'll have to make sure they befriend each other at the party. Unless Magnus isn't going.

After French I walk up to Magnus. 'Hey, Magnus, are you going to the party this Friday?' I ask. 'Yeah, Hearth almost forced me into getting a ticket. Why do you want to know?' 'Just wondering if I'd see you there,' I said casually. 'I thought you weren't going.' 'Well, I wasn't. But then Alex had to go, and I couldn't let her go alone.' 'Why does Alex have to go?' he asks. 'If she wants you to know, she'll tell you herself.'

'Well, since we're both going to the party, I guess we'll need to go shopping,' I say as Alex and I walk home. 'Why? Can't I just wear whatever I want?' she asks. 'Sure, but you need to look good,' I say. 'Ha! I always look good.' 'Alex, I meant we need to look nice for the party.' 'Fine, but how will I know what to buy? I don't know whether I'll be a boy or a girl on Friday,' she says. 'Okay, I know you have a pretty dress somewhere in that messy closet of yours, so we'll just get you something special to wear if you're a boy,' I say. 'Okay.'

So Wednesday after school we go to the shops to get something nice for both of us. I don't really ever wear a dress, that's why I need to buy one too. 'Lets go to Blitzens Best,' Alex decides. 'Sure, I bet Blitz can help us,' I say. So we make our way to Blitzens shop.

It takes a while for Alex to find what she wants, but eventually she gets a pair of green pants and a pink blouse. I found a nice red dress with matching hijab. 'Thanks Blitz,' I say as we leave the shop. 'No problem, I'll see you guys tomorrow,' he says.

We go home and relax the rest of the afternoon. When I get into bed in the evening, I wonder how the party will go. Will Alex make any friends, or will she just hang around in a corner? Whichever one, I will be there for her.

End Notes
