Eli
Finally orientation day was over... I couldn't wait to get out of this place; well at least for today. The only thing stopping me is Alyxx, who Clare, Adam, and I were going to be hanging out with for a while, had a meeting she was hosting for the dance team. To be honest, I don't even see why we would have such a thing, but I guess that is why I'm not on the team, "Come on Eli, it could be fun," Clare chided, pulling me into the gym, "That's what you said about first year orientation... Yeah, it wasn't all that fun. The best part was someone trying to pick a fight with Alyxx, and that didn't even happen," I whined, dragging my feet, "How would that be fun, Alyxx would have probably won," Adam laughed, following us, "That is probably true, but it might have been fun to see a fight," I explained. Adam and I took a seat, while Clare joined the growing group that surrounded my cousin.
Alyxx
Once a sizable group entered the gym, I began the meeting, "Um, hi everyone, it is nice to see a good sized group excited to join the dance team, for those who don't know me, I am Alyxx, the co- captain of the team, my other captain-," "Question, well two actually" someone blurted, "Yes?" I asked, a blonde stepped up from the middle of the group, "One, is the other captain any taller and are you sure you're tall enough to be a dancer?" she asked snidely, "No, and I have been dancing since I was two, no one has ever told me that I am too short, here's a question for you, is there more than a bitchy side to you, because if not, we might have a small problem."
Ashleigh
"Bring it," I said prepared to fight the shorter girl, she shook her head, "Sorry, but let's save the fighting for the second day," she smirked, "What, afraid that I will smear you across the gym floor," "No, if we get everything out today, we won't have anything interesting left for the rest of the season," she smiled sweetly, "-As I was saying, I am one of two captains, the other one is in Paris-" "To get away from you," I muttered, "Hun, you're right next to me, if you want to say something that isn't meant for me to hear, you might want to say it a touch quieter," everyone looked at me, "Maybe I wanted you to hear, you got a problem with that?" I challenged, "I hope to God that your dancing is better than your attitude, because if it isn't you might have just wasted your time coming here," she crossed her arms, "Throw anything my way," I mirrored her, "Easy tiger, today is just to find out whose interested, we don't start any evaluations until next week, but you may go, so I can actually get through everything, I just need your name," she held up a clipboard and pen, "Ashleigh Mitchell, don't choke on it, bitch," I said, hoisting my bag onto my shoulder and walking back through the crowd.
Alyxx
After kicking Ashleigh out, I was finally able to get through my meeting and soon enough Eli, Clare, Adam, and I were walking out to the parking lot, "Wow Alyxx, it isn't even the first day of school, and you've already made two new friends," Eli smirked, I pulled my phone out, he was right, it was only September 13th, school didn't start for two more days, and then two weeks from now is the anniversary of the day that ruined my life, "Alyxx!" Eli called, "What?" I asked turning to him, "Are you alright, this is the second time you've spaced out today," he looked concerned, I snorted, "Don't worry about it, I'm fine," I said, more trying to convince myself than him, but he seemed to buy it.
We went to my house and just hung out, "I can't believe you guys will be leaving after this year," Clare commented after a silence broke over my living room, "Yeah, then I will be off to U of T, and Alyxx will be going... Where did you say you'd be going?" Eli asked, "I didn't, I still don't know where I'm going," I stated laying back on the couch, "Alyxx, there is only nine months until we graduate, you have to have thought of somewhere," Eli stated, "I just haven't," I shrugged, "There has to be somewhere," Clare soothed, "Maybe there isn't," it was silent again, this one more awkward, the hall clock chimed, signaling the start of a new hour, "It's nine already, I have to go," Clare said, "Yeah, I should probably get going too," Adam agreed, "I'll drive you, go ahead, I will be right there," the other two nodded, heading out the door, "You gonna be alright alone?" he asked, I nodded, "If I have any issues, I'll stop by," I assured him, he left.

It was rather quiet heading to Adam's house, and I knew that we were all thinking the same thing. We weren't blind, Alyxx was acting strange, but she was okay, she was strong, wasn't she? "Bye dude," I said as he hopped out of Morty, "Bye Adam, see you tomorrow," Clare said, he waved. I headed toward Clare's house, "So is Alyxx okay?" she asked, concerned as always, "Honestly I am not sure, I don't know what's wrong, it's almost as if she doesn't want anyone to know that she is struggling with something," I stated, "Are you surprised, it's Alyxx. The type of girl that wouldn't tell you that she broke her wrist falling down some stairs until you found out when she screamed in pain every time she tried to write a paper," she smiled fondly, I snorted, remembering that time, "I don't think it's that physical this time," I said, "So you think its her thoughts?" she guessed, "It may be," I agreed. I pulled up to her house, and she got out after a quick kiss goodbye, and I drove home.
