Chapter Eight
The very next day…
"Hey Alex! Alex!" Justin shouted, trying to catch up with Alex.
Alex turned around, dressed in a long sleeved grey turtleneck and a long white vest matched with black skinny jeans and high tops.
"What." She muttered in reply.
She was still mad at Justin, she just could not help it. He ditched her for Felicia (at least that was what it was like to her.) and she was not too pleased with that. That seemed to be the only reason why she was angry at him, it was probably the only reason there was too, but somehow Alex was angry at Justin even more than what he deserved. Somehow, she was blaming him for everything that had happened. Even those he wasn't even responsible for.
"Look, Alex, I said I'm sorry. Felicia was hurt, you were fine. It was the best option at that time!" Justin explained.
"Yeah, but she could've just used her Ma- I mean, her mummy to do first aid for her! She's such a baby!" Alex retorted. Childishly, she knew that, but she was angry. And this whole "change of life" thing was too much for a 16 year old to handle!
"Alex, you're being unreasonable. I barely even know you for a week and you're expecting me to put you before my family?" Justin replied, in between calm intakes of breath.
Alex felt like crying. She almost forgot. How could she forget? MY family. Justin's family. Not hers. Barely even know you for a week. Right. Because only she remembered the real past 16 years of her life. Why? She didn't ask for this. She never wanted this.
So why was it like this?
"Justin, you won't understand. You'll never understand." Alex muttered, then walked away.
Justin, who had been bracing himself for a tongue lashing from Alex, just stood there dumbfounded.
XxX
"Hey Zena!" A cheery voice called.
"Alex." Alex corrected instinctively.
Then she recognized the voice. She almost shrieked with joy. It was Harper. The only person she was willing to see now.
"Harper!" Alex cried, before putting her hands around Harper and pulling her in for a bear hug.
An awkward Harper pulled away and asked with concern, "Alex? You okay? Because, you know, if you're not, I have a -"
"A bag of medicine? Smelling salts? Oh, Harper! At least you didn't change!" Alex cried again, hugging Harper once more in a tighter embrace.
"Umm….Alex? I only know you for one day. How can I change overnight? Unless of course, we were best friends in our past life, then maybe I could've changed drastically, like I could have been a man or a cat, or oh! A fruit! I'll like a watermelon! But then again, how can that be possi- "
"Oh, Harper!" Alex burst out laughing while tears welled up in her eyes.
Harper looked at her awkwardly, then smiled her trademark smile and shrugged. "Oh well, I guess I always make the weirdest friends. Oh, you HAVE to know this, Alex, there this one time, in grade school, I had this most silly friend! Her name was -"
As Harper rattled on into one of her grade school stories, Alex smiled. At least Harper hasn't changed. She was glad for that. She didn't know what she'll do if she didn't even have Harper.
Suddenly, a little boy on a skateboard wheeled to a stop right in front of her.
"You. Zena Lancolt? Codename Alex?" The boy said in a hushed tone, as though he was passing on some top secret file to Alex.
Wait a minute. Alex recognized that voice…
Max!
"Max?" Alex asked incredulously.
"How did you know? Did the 'others' tell you? Damn, they're onto me!" Max shouted in reply. He tossed a letter to Alex and said in his hushed tone again, "Agent 1, the big boss, asked me to give this to you. He gave me five bucks and I get a chance to test out my spy skills, so I took it. He said a lot more buncha stuff he wanted me to say, but I spaced out and forgot. Now, I need to run from the enemies. G'day Ladies, catcha later. "
Alex laughed. Typical of Max. At least another person didn't change. Tears welled up in her eyes for the third time that day. Things weren't THAT different. At least Harper and Max could pull her through the day.
"What is it?" Harper's shrill voice broke her thoughts.
"I don't know. Who the hell's 'Agent 1 the big boss' anyway?" Alex replied, using a mocking tone on the words "Agent 1 the big boss".
"Justin." Harper replied casually.
"And how do you know?" Alex eyed Harper.
"I haven't been stalking Justin!" Harper cried, her eyes wide open in feign innocence.
Alex laughed, "Whatever."
She open the letter and unfolded it.
"So… since when were you and Justin so close anyway?" Harper asked. Although Harper had asked this casually, Alex knew it meant a lot to her.
Alex grinned. "Oh, he showed me around the school, his house…"
"HIS HOUSE?" Harper shrieked, "You broke the girl code!"
Alex laughed, "Don't worry Harper! I don't like him that way! In fact, I'll put in a few good words for you!"
Harper looked hopeful, "Really? Oh, Alex, you're the best!"
Alex nodded happily. Harper was really still Harper.
At least not all things changed.
Yet.
