I don't understand why no one likes Alexandra. She was tall, about 5foot 3. She was very thin but still healthy. She had beautiful red hair but along with her emotions she dyed it black. Alexandra's eyes were like crystals. They were big and bright clear blue. All the so called "populars" looked down on Alexandra and made fun of her. I think they were just jealous. More than half the rumors that fly around the school are about her. Some of them were like, she stuffs her bra, she doesn't shower, and she's a cutter. But NONE, not one of them was true. Alexandra would get nasty notes in her locker teller her to die and that no one liked her. She had felt as though she was stabbed in the heart when she saw her own sister put a note in her locker.
She had only one friend, if you could even call her that. She was really nice and listened to Alexandra's problems when they were alone. But in front of other people, Sam acted like she didn't know Alexandra and made fun of her. Alexandra wanted to drop out of school. Then she found out that you can't drop out until you are sixteen. She couldn't wait for three years to pass. But then again, could she wait?
There was one thing that kept her wanting to go to school. It was him. The one. Her love at first sight. It was Cody! But she knew she would never have him. He probably didn't even know who she was. Even if he did know who Alexandra was because of the rumors, he'd think she was too young. Cody was in 10th grade and Alexandra was only in 7th grade. Cody was the guy that every girl dreams of. He was tall and thin with shortish blonde hair. He had the cutest big brown eyes. Every girl tried to flirt with him. Well, every girl except Alexandra. He didn't seem to flirt back with other girls.
From what Alexandra could tell, Cody was nice caring, intelligent, artistic, musical, athletic and much more. And to make him even sweeter, he volunteered at the ASPCA. She could only see Cody at school. This is the only reason she enjoyed school. Well, she could go to the ASPCA and see him but A) she didn't have a way to get there B) it wouldn't seen right if she just went there and didn't get an animal, which she didn't have any money for and C) she was too nervous and would be embarrassed if he did notice her there.
She didn't dare tell a soul that she liked Cody. If she told someone they would tell everyone. That's just what she would need: everyone knowing her secret crush. NOT! Well that's just what happened, everyone found out. During a really boring Social Studies class about Egypt- which Alexandra was already an expert on- she drew a heart with Cody's name in it in her note book. Right as she was turning to turn to a clean page- "Alexandra?" Uh Oh! "Um yes Mr. Bristlestone?" in a very curious voice Mr. Bristlestone asked what the sketch was on the previous page in her note book. Alexandra replied that it was nothing important. Everyone knew Mr. Bristlestone was a very strict teacher. He grabbed her notebook and said "Oh what do we have here? Are you trying to hide that you like Cody?" The whole class burst out in laughs and giggles. Alexandra's face turned bright red. Great. Now everyone in her class knew. It wouldn't be long before the whole grade knew. And then the whole school would know, the whole school, including Cody.
