Alexis' second Monday at her new school was like her first. Well that's what she thought when she drove into the parking lot and into the same place, walking through the door with the same people and going to the exact same classes as last week. Well minus these facts: she knew some people now; that she didn't need to see Principal Figgins before class; and that she had brought an extra pair of clothes to put in her locker.
She got to her seat in European History and began taking notes. Some of the other students stared back as she sat down but most of them didn't. Their eyes returned to the front of the class as the teacher began quizzing the ones who didn't pay attention about what she had been saying. When first class finished she walked out into the corridor to Calculus she felt an arm on her right upper arm and turned to see Mercedes and Kurt.
"Hi Mercedes, Hi Kurt, what's up?" she asked as they looped their arms through her arms either side of her so they took up a great deal of the walking space.
"We just want to talk to you and warn you about a few things," Kurt informed her on her right.
"Is this about the slushies because Sam already told me about them-?"
"Sam told you?" asked Mercedes quietly before Kurt could shout it out louder so that the whole school could hear it.
"Yeah. What about it?" she asked as she checked her watch and hoping that she wouldn't be late for class because her teacher was very strict on timing.
"Well since Sam has warned you about the slushies," said Kurt emphasising the other boy's name, "We can move on to the more dangerous matters…" he said arriving at the Calculus threshold.
"There are more dangerous things than getting slushied in the face?" she asked shocked as other students filed through into the classroom.
"We'll see you at the lunch table. What lesson do you have?" asked Mercedes linking arms with Kurt again.
"I have Biology," she answered. They nodded at each other and left the bewildered seventeen year old in their wake. She entered the class and sat at the back wondering if she really focused in relearning the Cosine rule that she could actually figure out how anything could be worse than a slushie to the face for doing something she absolutely loved.
The bell rang and she went to her art class and then it rang again for her biology class. Half listening with some of the other class members towards a talk and notes on cell division of gametes and other cell types she thought of what the two best buddies needed to talk to her about.
As promised the duo where at the door of her biology class and they walked through the corridors towards the cafeteria and Alexis remembered that she had to buy this time so she brought her lunch and sat down at their table.
"What did you want to talk about?" asked the girl to the two friends on either side of her like bodyguards.
"You and Sam," Kurt replied.
"What are you talking abo-"
"Just let us finish," answered the girl diva on her right.
"Look whatever your relationship with Sam if you keep on spending time with him and others think it's more than friends even if it isn't," he emphasised the last bit to keep the other girl quiet after seeing her denying face. "You'd better look after your back."
"From Quinn- I thought she liked Finn?" she replied in a conspiring tone of voice. Quinn to her knowledge had been out with Finn, had a baby with Puck Finn's best friend and gone out with Sam but then got back together with Finn before splitting up with him. A lot in a few years: Not that all her boyfriends were faithful back, she heard. Gossip travelled fast she evaluated when she learned this. Also the blog by their resident nerd and "news" breaker and informed helped even if it wasn't completely true.
"Yes but she might want him back you never know," interjected Mercedes. "But she's not the worst."
"Wow who's worse than the ex-head cheerleader to handle?" asked Alexis nervously tucking her hair behind her right ear.
"The cheerleader's ex-best friend," the boy in fashionable clothing sitting next to her stated.
"Santana," explained the other glee girl.
She finished her lunch and stood up. The second weeks welcome wasn't as good the first and she was still waiting for the slushie drink to crawl icily down her face with a taken aback expression on.
