Chapter 5
(Student Services. 7:50am)
"Here you go, there's your timetable, booklist, student diary and sports calendar." The lady said as she handed them three dark blue folders with a school logo on it.
"Oh umm we didn't receive our bags, so where can we get them?" asked Max, she didn't feel too comfortable or maybe she was just nervous.
"Can I have your names then"
"Ashley-Jade Lovell"
"Michael Davidson"
"Podesta Silvia Santos"
The woman was typed the names into the computer.
"Oh yes, they are still here, and I belive your parents have already paid for them and the booklist, so you can pick it you in the front office. It's just down the hall." The lady said with a smile.
"Ok thank you" Cindy said with a smile.
The three of them walked down the hall, as the siren went off.
"Great, we'll be late, that's exactly what we need, on our first day."
"Don't stress Maxie"
"I'm not, it's just that, I dono. This is so weird. I mean, we weren't trained for that. God I don't know" Max said with a frown.
(8 minutes after the bell.)
There was a soft knock on the classroom door. As the teacher walked to the door and opened it. Max, Alec and Cindy entered the classroom.
"Sorry we're late." Said Cindy.
"That's ok. You must be the new students, right?" The teacher asked.
"Yeah, we are. We got kinda lost" Cindy did all the talking, while Max and Alec looked at the classroom full of students. There were three rows of double desks. All girls were looking at Alec, he could feel them staring at him. And the guys were checking Max out.
"That's fine. Just take a sit, and we shall continue with our work" The teacher replied.
All three of them went down the back of the classroom. Max sat down with Cindy and Alec was sitting two desks behind them, alone, but it wasn't until a drop dead gorgeous girl got up from her sit and asked Alec if she could sit there. For some reason Max felt really jealous. She just couldn't figure out why.
Just because some skanky bitch, sat down with Alec, doesn't mean that he likes her right?, I don't even know why I feel this way, I love Logan, and this is why we are here, for a chance for me and him to be together, Right???
"Hey I'm Dana" said the girl.
"I'm Michael, this is Ashley and Podesta" Alec introduced them to the girl.
The girl really was pretty. She had shoulder-length light brown hair. Her skin was lighter than Max's, and her eyes were like two deep blue oceans, Alec almost drowned in them. She was just perfect for a human. She was skinny and tall. The girl was wearing the same uniform top as Max and Cindy, but somehow it looked better on her. Her short skirt showed off her beautiful, long legs. She didn't wear much make-up, because her cheeks were rosy and she had long and thick eyelashes. She only had eyeliner, which drew attention to her icy blue eyes and some shiny lip-gloss on her firm lips.
The girl mesmerized both Alec and Cindy. But Max didn't feel anything but jealousy towards her. Although she did admit that the girl was beautiful, but refused to think that she was prettier than her.
That's crazy. She can't be prettier than me, coz Manticore made us to be perfect in both strength and looks. Hopefully she'll be in my basketball or self defense class, so I can kick her ass to China Max had almost laughed at her thoughts. But a second later her face split into a grin.
No one was looking at Max, her 'friends' were busy talking to Dana.
"Dana what do you have after English?" Max asked innocently.
"I think I have cheerleading, but I'm not sure" Dana replies with a smile.
"So Dana do you live here with your parents?" Cindy asked not taking her eyes of her.
"No, I'm living with my brother, he's not here today, couldn't be bothered going to school on the first day. He'll propably be here tomorrow or on Wednesday, so you'll meet him, he's nice, but he's trouble." Dana was a chatterbox, just like Alec.
"How bout you guys?" She asked.
"Well me and Ash, were friends since kinder garden and our families are friends, so they decided to send us all the way across the country away from home, my folks are too busy with their work, so are Ashley's. And we met Podesta on the plane. So yeah..." Alec finished and took a deep breath.
"So you are an only child in your family" Dana asked Max.
As soon as Dana said, Max had couple of flashbacks of her and Ben's body in her arms in the woods. And another one of her electrocuting Zack in the underground parking lot. She closed her eyes for a split second, she knew that Dana was still waiting for an answer. Max's breath stuck in her throat. And a flutter of mixed emotions course through her. She opened her mouth about to answer the hard and painful question, but Alec cut her off.
"Yeah she has a twin sister, but she moved away and started a family, after that she never wrote or called Ashley. Ash misses her, and it's kind of painful subject for her to talk about"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" Dana said. There was something in her eyes, in was like she knew the pain and really felt sorry for bringing it up. Max really appreciated that Alec lied for her, because she just had no idea what to say.
The time went by so fast and before they knew it, the bell went off.
"Basketball" Max said under her breath.
"It was nice meeting you" Dana said with a smile.
"So where do you guys sit on recess?"
"I dono yet" Alec said.
"Well, your welcome to come and sit with our group, it's near the science area, on the verandah, so maybe I'll see you there." She said with a smile and walked off.
"Let's get ready to kick Alec's ass in basketball" Max said cheerfully to OC.
(Gym)
There were about twenty-five students, standing in two rows about two meters apart, and the teacher was walking back and forth between the two rows. This reminded Alec about Manticore and their early morning drills.
While the girls were giggling and guys dribbling the ball, the teacher tried to explain their lesson.
"So let me divide you into two teams and we'll get on with the game." The teacher said.
The row on my left will be the red team, and the row on my right will be the blue team.
"Alright, looks like we're gonna be on the same team" Max said to Alec with a smirk.
"Yeah" was all he said.
The teacher blew a whistle and the game started. Both Max and Alec were the stars of the team.
Alec passed the ball to Max, and Max was about to shoot, as her hand started shaking, she clenched it in a fist, and so no one would see.
"Shoot" Alec yelled.
Before Max knew it she was on the floor, her body was shaking violently. The students were standing in a circle around Max, who felt and was absolutely helpless. Cindy ran to her friend and supported her neck. And the other guy who was on the same team as Max, was holding her legs and arms.
"Al..ec" Max whispered so quietly, only someone with a transgenic hearing would've heard.
"My pills... front pocket." She whispered again.
Alec got on his feet, and ran to Max's bag. As soon as he got the pills out he ran back to Max lying on the floor as the seizures got even worse as the time went by.
"Shh, take it easy" Alec said as he pulled Max closer, and put her head on his forearm. He popped three pills in Max's mouth and after couple of minutes she fell asleep. Alec lifted her in his arms.
"What's happened to her, is she alright?" The panicked teacher asked.
"Yeah, she'll be fine. She has epilepsy, so she gets these nasty seizures from time to time." Alec lied.
"Take her to the nurse" The teacher advised.
Alec walked out of gym with Max in his arms. He looked down at her she looked so innocent and peaceful. Max tossed in Alec's arms, so now her head was leaning against Alec's chest, her left arm was around his neck, and her right arm was around his waist.
Logan would kill to be me right now Alec thought with a smirk, and started walking towards the nurse's office, when Max moved again, but this time she woke up.
"Alec, what happened?" She asked with her eyes half closed.
"You had seizures, and after you took the pills you passed out" Alec answered with a small smile.
"Do you want me to put you down?" He asked after a long pause, because he really didn't want Max to bitch at him.
"No" was all that Max said.
Alec was surprised, that Max didn't punch or hit him. She didn't even move her hands off of him, instead she put her head on his left shoulder, and her lips almost touching his neck.
When they got to the nurse's office, they saw Dana, the girl from their English class.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Max asked and laughed nervously, because of how close her and Alec were.
"Well I didn't feel too well, so the teacher sent me here, she propably didn't want me to pass out on the floor or something like that. Soo what are you two doing here?" Dana asked with a small smile.
"Well Ash didn't feel too well either, and the teacher asked me to bring her here, because she actually did pass out on the floor." Alec said with a smirk. And Max playfully punched him in his chest. And then she was about to say something, but was interrupted by a nurse.
"Your pills are here Miss Ross, take one every 3 hours, and you'll be fine, but I would advise you to stay here and get some rest until recess" The nurse said as she gave Dana an orange plastic bottle with the pills.
"Yeah, I'll propably take a short nap" Dana said, and walked to the rest room, which had 5 beds, bed side tables next to every bed and a bathroom.
"How can I help you?" The nurse asked Max in a cheerful voice.
"Well, I umm" Max started and didn't get to finish.
"She has epilepsy, and she just had a seizure in class, and she passed out on the floor. The teacher asked me to bring her here." Alec explained the situation.
"Oh, My. I don't have any pills left, but you can ask Miss Ross, the girl who's in the rest room, she too had an epilepsy attack." The nurse said as she looked at Max's pale face.
"No problem" Alec said and started walking into the rest room, as her heard the nurse's voice behind him say:
"You know, you can put her down, you're not a Superman."
"You'll never know" Alec said under his breath only Max heard him, which made her giggle.
Alec carried Max to the bed, and gently put her down, and covered her fragile body with a blanket. When he turned around he saw Dana who was throwing the pills into the bin, which was about ten meters away. But she never missed.
"Why are you chucking 'em in the bin? I thought you needed them?" Alec asked with a confused look.
"Not really, they don't help me, I need different pills, but for those I need a prescription, and no one would give it, coz it's a drug." The girl replied in an emotionless voice, as she was till concentrating on the bin.
"So why's your girlfriend here?" Dana asked.
"I'm not his girlfriend!" Max said with an offended look.
"Oh I know you wished you were" Alec said, a slight smirk crossing his face
"Oh shut up, Alec" Max said and punched him in his shoulder. Just now she realized that she called him Alec.
Dana's eyes narrowed "I thought his name was Michael..."
"It is, Alec's my nickname. As umm smart aleck, and Ashley's is Max short for maximum" Alec explained.
"Ohh, ok... Alec and Max..." Dana said and laughed.
