Really 18
Authors Note: Thank you very much to everybody who has reviewed and to Marie Elaine Cullen for Betaing! I am sorry that I have not updated in forever! I was on vacation and actually got back three days early because my coach said I had to come home and play if I wanted to keep my spot on varsity:(
Disclaimer: I don't own Alex Rider and probably never will:(
A couple minutes later, Alex found himself wandering down the long narrow hallways, trying to prepare himself for what was going to be the longest class of his life.
In the mean time, Mr. Bray was about to call Jake's parents whenhe found another number at the bottom of Alex' s records. He sat there for a couple of minutes debating whether he should call it or not.

Isabella was sitting in maths class. She was trying really hard to concentrate, but it wasn't working. The whole class was very tense. Why wouldn't it be? More drama had gone down today than the little school had seen in years. All the kids were itching to drown Isabella with questions, but their maths teacher wanted no part of that and would not hesitate to send them to the office. So all the kids sat there pretending to pay attention and failing horribly at it, right when the teacher was about to give up teaching the rest of class, the door opened.
Alex slowly walked in. All eyes were now on him. He could feel nervousness and awkwardness building in his stomach, but on the outside he kept his composure and all you could see was confidence. He made his way to his desk, doing his best to ignore the eyes following him.
The majority of the class tried to stay silent, wanting to avoid getting in trouble. That lasted for all of thirty seconds before all the kids sitting around his table started whispering questions to him. The kids sitting farther away wrote notes, crumbled them into little balls or folded them into airplanes and threw them at him.
Alex just stayed silent and kept his face in the emotionless mask that always seemed to be glued to his face. He occasionally rolled his eyes or told them to shut up. This lasted for about five minutes before the teacher finally gave up...
"Class, if Alex comes up here and explains everything that is going on will you guys finish your in class assignment at home and study for you quiz next block?" The teacher said sternly, with annoyance dripping from her voice.
There were nods of agreement across the classroom.
Alex was mad. Were teachers even allowed to do that? He decided that he would tell his stupid class the truth. He did not want to make things more complicated then they already were. He didn't care what Isabella thought either. Why did nothing absolutely nothing ever work out the way he planned?
On his way up to the front of the class he could here excited whispers and new rumors flying around. He was hoping that his little talk would solve that.
"Hey" Alex began awkwardly. "I just got back from being 'sick' again." There were sounds of denial spreading across the room, but he continued anyways. "I got these injuries from falling down the stairs," he could see Isabella staring at him and corrected himself, "wooden stairs." His eyes became cold as he said the next part. "I recently found out that my guardian disappeared and Isabella's family is my new foster home. Jake came over last night thinking that I broke into Isabella's house and tried to start a fight; it only lasted until Isabella's parents walked in the house though. Soon after, Jake found out about my new living situation and got mad. He then decided to break up with Isabella. So, this morning Jake wanted to fight for revenge. I had no choice, but to defend myself so I punched him. I truly didn't mean to hit him that hard, I usually hit way harder... So now I am here and my punishment is to be decided..."

Mr. Bray slowly dialed the number. He waited until he heard an answer.
"Hello."
"Is this Alex Rider's guardian?"
"Yes."
"Do you work at a bank?"Mr. Bray asked, crossing his fingers for the answer he wanted.
"No…" The question was obvious in the voice.
"Can you meet me at the school Monday around twelve forty. To talk about you ward?"
"Sure?"
"Great see you then." Mr. Bray quickly ended and hung up the phone. This was perfect; they were going to arrive ten minutes after Alex's other supposed guardian. He was finally going to find out a little more about the mysterious Alex Rider.
Authors Note: Hope you liked! So, should Alex's real identity be revealed to Isabella's parents and Mr. Bray or should there just be mass confusion? Maybe the police could get involved and Isabella's parents could get in trouble for 'kidnapping' Alex? I don't know... Anyways, REVIEW LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER REVIEWED BEFORE:)
