Chapter Three

"This is crazy Tracy! I did not complain when you made me wear this hair band, I let you make me wear this STUPID lipstick and now you want me to wear that…thing?" Alex shouted.

"Zena dear, it's your first day of school! It's a big day for you, I understand that. But you've never rejected pink! And you loved that silver hair band, and it has that purple ribbon on it, so I'm fine. And that lipstick, it looks so nice on you! Its shiny pale pink, isn't that sweet? And this dress is absolutely lovely! Don't you think?" The blonde woman explained, then added, "And I told you to call me 'Mother', not 'Mum', 'Mom', 'Mummy', 'Mommy' and NEVER Tracy. I am your mother; you do NOT call me by name."

"It's NOT "lovely"! And I never liked girlish pink! Hot pink is fine! I told you I'm wearing this violet long-sleeved shirt with this black sleeveless vest and this black skirt with the silver chain hanging from it then matching them with my black high tops which I bought yesterday!" Alex retorted.

During the last three days, life in the Lancolt family was torture for Alex. They believed in light pink for girls, light blue for boys and very lacy, very feminine dresses or skirts and nice pleated sweaters for girls. This disgusted Alex a lot. What century were they living in? Alex had quarreled a lot with Tracy, her so-called 'mother', and suddenly she missed her real mum, Theresa, a lot. Her so-called 'father', Albert, was a real pain, being a straight masochist and she missed her real dad, Jerry, and his funny habits so much. She hated the way the voice never came back, the way they tried to force their ways on her and seemed to hate everything she liked, from music to clothes, even places to hangout! And seeing that her wardrobe was filled with what Alex described as 'Clothes bought from the Drags-From-Hell Shop', Alex had gone out yesterday, (much to her so-called mother's protests)bought a whole new wardrobe and threw out all the other clothes. She'd thought that it'll be the last she'd see of them again. Apparently, her mum had taken them back and washed them clean.

"Fine, suit yourself young lady. But when you're marked down as 'rebel' by your principal based on first impression, you better not come crying to me for the dress. This is your first day of school, you know." Tracy huffed and marched down the stairs, muttering 'Jesus Christo'.

Alex laughed a little and said to herself, "I won't."

XxXx

At school…

"What a fat principal!" Alex groaned after her meeting with the principal, "Naggy too."

"Hahahahaha! That is so funny! Hi, I'm Harper. You must be new here." A plump girl in a green watermelon design shirt and a bright yellow pair of pants topped with a bright red hair band with a watermelon on top said with much friendliness as she stretched out her hand.

"Harper! I Mis – I mean, hi. I'm Ale – Erm, Zena Lancolt. But call me Alex." Alex replied with glee. It was Harper! Her Best Friend! And it looked like they were gonna be best friends again!

"Why? Zena sounds nothing like Alex. In fact, one starts with the first letter of the alphabet and the other starts with the last. It's like, totally opposite!" Harper asked, her cheery aura glowing around her, "Oh, I get it. You're the type that doesn't like your name and is going against it right? Cool!"

Alex eyed Harper weirdly, "Yyyyeah. Alright, I'll take that."

Suddenly, Harper's eyes widened when she looked over Alex's shoulder.

"Z-Alex! Tell me, how do I look?!" She asked frantically.

Alex looked at her and said cautiously, "Honestly? Or…"

"I knew it! I should've worn the Muffin themed suit! Ugh! Zenex, I mean, Alna, or whatever, I gotta go! I can't stay here! I'll see ya later!" Harper interrupted hurriedly and sped off.

"Wh – Harper!" Alex called, but Harper was already gone. So Alex turned around sighing, and crashed straight into a strong, hard chest.

"Sorry!" She apologized as she looked up and suddenly was filled with awkwardness.

It was Justin.

Well, at least the reason why Harper ran away in a hurry was clear already.

"Nah, it's okay. Hey, I saw you walk out of the principal's office and I don't recognize you. And hardly anyone ever talks to Harper anyway, so you must be new." Justin said with a friendly tone as if they'd been friends for years.

It was kinda like that anyway, though he shouldn't be able to remember.

"Hey, Harper's really nice. And yes, I'm new. And I know you, you're the nerd in this school, the one with all the medals hung up on the wall and the one vying for every single high position in the student council in this school." Alex said. Ha. That'll leave a good impression.

Justin eyed her curiously and went, "What are you talking about? I'm the school's Prom King, the leader of the Baseball team, a straight A student though but I DON'T vie for every single high position in the student council. I'm not Riley over there."

Alex didn't believe a word he said but turned to where he pointed to anyway, and saw a curly haired guy with a tucked in checkered shirt and pleated pants, hanging out with a lot more people that looked like him. He looked familiar. He looked like… like… Riley!

Alex turned back and had the very first look at Justin's clothes, which shocked her a lot, given that he was wearing a stylish black hoodie and a grey shirt inside, with black denim pants, two silver chains and…this shocked Alex the most…BROWN HIGH TOPS!!!

"Oh my god! High tops! My Fav!" Alex squealed in surprise.

Justin was taken aback awhile and looked down at his shoes den smiled and said, "Really? I thought I was the only one who liked high tops. My friends all say its gay."

Justin blushed, which made Alex giggle uncontrollably.

"No, it's not. I love it. And I love hoodies too." Alex smiled, then suddenly realized that she was enjoying talking to her actual brother and it wasn't because of a prank!

Hastily, she said, "Oh my god, Justin. You're so cool, it's…weird."

Justin looked confused. "Really? It's weird, What's so weird about me?"

Before Alex could reply, the school bell rang.

"Oh, I gotta go. Hey, what's your number? I'll call you." Justin said hurriedly.

"I'll write it down. Erm, wait… okay, here." Alex said and quickly gave him her number.

Justin smiled, lifted up the paper in a silent promise and ran off to his next class.

Alex was confused. She, Justin's smart and cunning younger sister who always tricked him, had actually enjoyed talking to him!

What was going on?
