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?
That night, Jeff lay on his bed thinking about Alexis. She'd been etched in his mind all day and he was still confused about the way she just ran off during lunch. He'd tried running after her but she'd disappeared. Jeff wanted to call her, make sure she was okay but he didn't have her number. It was getting late and he was growing tired so he figured he would just talk to her in school the next day. As tiredness overtook him, he gradually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Alex was sat on the sofa, watching the TV. She was home alone again as her mum was working night shifts. She had no brothers or sisters and her neighbours who she had recently become friends with were usually in bed at this time. After all, it was just after midnight. But she was nowhere near tired. Getting up from the sofa, she made her way to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate. She's had a stressful day. It'd been her first day at a new school, she had the chance to make friends with Jeff but something seemed to be holding her back, she just didn't know what. Sighing, Alex grabbed her drink and went to her room.
Pulling an over-sized T-shirt on, she climbed into bed with a book. Hopefully, she would get so bored, she'd fall asleep. Sleeping in a new house was still weird to her. They'd had to move though, as her mother had found a job in Cameron. It was a huge contrast to when she'd lived in New York. All her family and friends were there, and she missed them like crazy. An hour into reading, she did eventually fall asleep.
The next day, her mother walked into the bedroom and ripped the curtains open, causing the sun to drain through the window and awaken her. Alex groaned and pulled the covers over her head while turning over, against the sun.
"Come on, honey. It's time for school. Get ready and I'll have breakfast waiting for you," her mom, Kathy, said, walking back out of the room.
"Can't I stay home?" Alex questioned from beneath the duvet.
"It's only your second day! I'll take you in. Just hurry up and get dressed," her mother replied. Reluctantly, she climbed from the bed and made her way to the bathroom for a shower. The lukewarm water revitalised her tired body and she was now more awake. Getting out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her damp body then made her way to her dresser in her room. Alex applied some light make-up to her face then quickly changed into a pair of patchwork jeans and a light blue T-shirt. Quickly brushing her hair through, she grabbed her bag then ran down the stairs into the kitchen where her mum had prepared some pancakes. After eating them, she and her mother drove to school.
"Bye Mom," Alex said as they hugged.
"Have a nice day, Sweetheart," she responded, pulling back from the embrace. As Alex retreated from the car, her eyes rested about Jeff. She waved her mom off then began walking up the steps, only to get stopped by Jeff.
"Hey, what happened yesterday? Why did you run off?" he questioned as they entered the school building.
"Oh hi Jeff. Yesterday? Umm, just something that came up," she lied. He eyed her suspiciously, debating on whether to believe her or not but decided not to push the matter any further.
"Ok. So, do you want to do something after school?"
"Sure, depending on what it is."
"Well, you can come over my place and we can just hang out. I have to see Mel first though…she's my girlfriend."
"Sounds cool. Give me your address later; I have English with Mrs. Taylor now."
"Me too!" Jeff smiled. "And we're right here." He held the door open for her then followed right after as they entered the room. Unfortunately, Mel and her friends were watching them. Needless to say, she was jealous that Jeff was as so much talking to another girl. As they entered the classroom, they witnessed as he sat next to Alex, still talking intently to her. Mel walked passed and scoffed at Alex, then sat in Jeff's lap, whispering something in his ear.
The teacher walked into the class, indicating for everyone to stop talking and sat down. After she was done explaining the day's tasks to everyone, she left them to get on with the work. Jeff couldn't work though. He just stared at Alex the entire time. She looked so beautiful; he couldn't take his eyes off her. He couldn't wait to spend more time with her and get to know her better.
~Later That Evening~
Jeff was resting on his bed, reading the latest WWF magazine, Pearl Jam playing in this background. He still had some homework to do but figured he'd do it later, seeing as he wasn't in the mood. Back downstairs, his brother Matt was in the living room when a knock sounded at the front door. He got up to answer it and found Alex at on the doorstep.
"Hi, is Jeff in?" she asked, shyly.
"Yeah, hang on. Jeff," Matt called up. "Alex is here." Jeff came halfway down the stairs, taking in the beautiful sight off her appearance. In the rare time he'd known her, she seemed to amaze him with how stunning she was, so much that his breath caught every time his eyes set upon her. He couldn't stop staring her when they were in class. But he didn't know how she felt. Jeff had made it his goal to get to know her.
He led her to his room then collapsed on his bed. They talked lightly for a few minutes before agreeing to get some homework out of the way. Because she'd only been at her new school for two days, Alex needed some help to catch up with work, which Jeff had offered to do. After an hour of working, Jeff's dad, Gilbert knocked on the door and popped his head into the room.
"Hey dad, this is Alex. She's new at school, I was just helping her with some work," he explained.
"Ok son, well I just wanted to tell you that dinner will ready in about twenty minutes. Alex, do you want to join us?" Gil offered.
"Sure, that would be great."
Jeff had been secretly hoping she would stay and his smile broadened when she had agreed. His dad left the room, leaving them alone again. Alex promptly continued with her work. She was trying to avoid making eye contact with Jeff because she knew that the moment she looked into his soft, green eyes she'd melt. Truth was, she clandestinely felt something for him but couldn't tell him, afraid that if they got romantically involved, she'd have to reveal something that might rip them apart, something she never wanted to experience again.
