Episode 6:

Her parents were still arguing with Bart when she left her house. She was making her way to the hospital to see Alex; Avril was waiting there with this new guy she recently met. She wished she had told her his name.

Alex was waiting in the waiting room when she arrived to the hospital. She walked with them to the second floor and walked into an equipped room. There was Alex, lying in bed, reading a fashion magazine while a woman sitting by her left showed her a booklet.

-Girls, I thought you weren't coming-

-Hi Alex-the two girls said as they sat in one of the room's couches.

-I don't bear this place anymore, just look at me-

-It's not that bad-Lisa said trying to comfort her friend.

- The worst thing that could happen to me is that someone from school sees me-

Avril and Lisa stared at each other. Alex watched them, and realized that something was going on.

-Did you two…there's...there's someone else coming with you two?-

Sadly, for Alex, a red haired guy entered the room. Colin. Avril smiled and told Lisa.-Hey Lisa this is Colin, the guy I told you about- Avril stopped to observe the expressions in Lisa and Colin's faces.

–It just me or you guys already know each other? - Avril asked

-hum… you see…-Colin began

-Avril do you remember that I told you that some years ago, my father was about to destroy Springfield?-

-Yeah-

-Well, before that, Colin and I met each other…and we became good friends- Lisa took a time to breathe and then continue-but then, he and his father went back to Ireland…and I hadn't seen him since then-

-Yeah, until we meet again in the library the other day-Colin finished.

-Uhh…guys...can you please leave for a minute? I need to fix myself-asked Alex, hiding under her bed covers.

She returned home confused. Things had happened very fast. If she began to remember everything that had happened since they pushed her up a grade until then… she had her head full of "her things". She shouldn't have so many problems, she defined herself as a very confident person, she knew how to take decisions and she knew what she was doing. That was the reason why she had accepted the option of skipping two grades…

It had been a while since she had seen Colin, about six years. And suddenly, he appears again, that didn't mean she was uncomfortable with his presence, but this time there was something more, was there? Maybe it was only her.

She wished it was.

She didn't like that feeling, she liked to feel confident. Because she knew that bad decisions can mean BIG mistakes. And she didn't want to repeat what it felt to have committed them again.

Next Day

In school

It was a boring history class; she already knew the dates and events of that event. Indeed, she was repeating a class that she already had last year.

In a minute she was daydreaming, staring at the roof. The teacher was writing some boring stuff in the blackboard. Her eyes began searching something more interesting to observe…or something more attractive.

He was two sits away to her left…staring at Keltie Clamsey.

She didn't hate her, but she didn't admire her either. She was rather annoying, every time that she turned to see him or found him; she was close snapping out of her daydream.

A polar magnet, she thought.

She felt a small poking in her back and ignored it. She didn't feel like playing Bart's game. She heard a laugh behind her. He poked her again. And again, and again, and again…and again.

Lisa was beginning to get annoyed by his laugh and the poking with his pen. She tried looking at something else, like the clock, while Bart kept his childish game; she just had to bear with it a few more minutes. She heard the laugh again; her patience was reaching the limit. He poked her, again.

And she exploded.

Without self-control power, she stood from her seat, turned to face her brother, took the pen from his hand and shouted her lungs out.

-Bart, you do that again and I'll stick this pen into your brain!-

Everyone went dead silence, before she realized that everyone was watching her, that she had fallen into her brother's game and lost.

-Lisa Simpson, detention after class-

Lisa slumped into her seat, forcing herself to don't shout:

-Stupid Bart-

She entered detention and sat at the end of the room, there was no one yet. Every time she went to that room, was because of Bart. He was an idiot, always causing her troubles, which of course, he wasn't going to go through.

And now she had her own problems to think about.

The room began to fill up. She saw the typical troublemakers enter the room. Jessica Lovejoy, her stupid brother, who ignored her completely and sat to the left of the reverend's daughter. Then there was Jimbo Jones, Dolph Starbeam, two of Keltie's friends and…Nelson Muntz.

They all had things in common. Under that circumstance, it seemed that she was the only "outsider" in the room.

-Hi- she felt a voice behind her.

-Hi, Nelson- she answered. It was a while before a guy noticed there was something different in the room. He rubbed his eyes with his hands and stared at her.

-Lisa Simpson? - He asked surprised.

Others who were in the room turned shocked, looking as if something supernatural had just happened. Did they really see her as a saint? Oh no, maybe she really was.

The boy waited until everyone turned to speak between them again.

-What are you doing here?-

-I got detention for what happened in history class, remember?-

-Yes, but I didn't believe that it was serious; I mean…you're not like this- he said pointing backward him. He was right, she wasn't like them.

-I know, I think I went to far this time-

He smiled

-It's not that bad, it's just a way to change the routine- he sighed before continue- rules were made to be broken-

Lisa didn't agree with the concept that troublemakers had adopted, but he made it sound good. And maybe, after all, and even when it doesn't seem to, it could have a meaning.

-And Keltie? - She asked surprised that she wasn't around. The boy remained silent before answering.

-Well, honestly…I don't know, I heard she got detention too, but…- He turned around for a second. Jimbo was not around, and Dolph was distracted playing with a knife while staring at one of Keltie's friends-Actually…-he said almost whispering-…we're not spending as much time together as before-"What? "Lisa thought "Does that mean they used to spend MORE time together?"

-Oh…have you talked to her about this?-

-No, I mean, she must have her space, but…- His gaze slowly downed to the floor. Lisa stared carefully at his eyes, they're really deep…impossible to read. Perhaps it was affecting him more than she thought. Why were things so complicated?

-Maybe she feels the same- Lisa said trying to comfort Nelson.

-Yes…maybe-

-It's important for to you talk to her…just tell her what you think- He smiled, she loved seen him smile, it wasn't normal seen him sad, and it had became one of her worse nightmares. She wasn't doing this for Keltie, no, she was doing this for him, and for no one else.

-Thanks- he said smiling

-No problem- she answered, smiling too.

The bell rang, and everyone run out, happy to escape the arrest.

-Smell ya' later, Lisa-he said, before leaving he turned around and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Lisa immediately noted her face turning red. She was lucky that he didn't turn around again.
