Chapter 4
"Rise and shining Alex!"
Alex groaned as she turned in her small bed. Julie was cheerfully humming as she opened the curtains.
"Today you start school at the local high school, Cape High. Sorry but you are going to have to wear the same clothes which you have on at the moment….we are on a tight budget, but I will try and knock up something different for you to wear tomorrow.
"Oh, its not a problem," replied Alex as she got up, looking at her short shorts and her small top. She put on her black thongs, grabbed her backpack, went downstairs and rushed out the door, calling out,
"I'll see you after school Julie!" She dreaded every moment where she had to be in the same room as Julie, let alone James. They seemed like such an odd couple. She jogged to the school, which came in view after about 10 minutes, just when the bell sounded. She rushed up the steps and found her way to the office, where her timetable was handed to her. As she sat in the office chairs, waiting for them to find out what her roll call room was, she saw a boy come up to the staff table.
"Hi its Trey, I was here last year before I moved interstate. Does the office still have my record?" she heard him say to the office lady.
"Yes of course, please take a seat and you will be given your timetable in a few minutes." She replied. Treyturned and went and sat at a nearby chair. He was facing Alex, who was trying to keep her heart rate down as she checked him out. He had spiky brown hair and seemed to be built.
"Are you new here?" he asked her, as he came to sit in the chair next to her.
"Oh, yeah, I moved here just yesterday." She replied, smiling, keeping her cool. Trey nodded,
"Yeah same. I got a great job down at the Inn. I moved in with my brother, which you probably wouldn't know, considering your new?" he continued. Alexa shook her head.
"Nope, and I haven't heard of the Inn either, but congratulations on the job."
"Thanks," he smiled gratefully.
"Trey?" asked the office lady, "Your timetable is ready, now please hurry off to class."
"That's my call." said Trey, as he got up from his seat. "Maybe I'll see you around." After grabbing the paper from the lady which contained his classroom details, he exited the room, leaving Alex following him out with her eyes.
