Aurein: Thank you for your amazing review! You gave me some great ideas and a lot of things to think about, but this is an Alek/OC story, but I hope that doesn't stop you from reading :) I really liked your idea of Chloe and Aurelia having some sibling rivalry, and including Mimi (And yes I do watch the Fosters, a great show) and yes I want to bring Zane back, just not sure yet how.

Chapter Ten

"Aurelia, wake up. Wake up." The gruff voice of her brother Chase, awakened her from slumber.

She groaned as he continued to shake her, "I'm up. I'm up."

"Didn't you hear your alarm going off? You need to hurry if you want to make it to school on time. You have ten minutes or I'm leaving without you." Chase said leaving her room. Aurelia rolled her eyes and threw off her covers heading over to her closet. She dressed in a black t-shirt, slipped into black jeans with a tan belt and stepped into tan knee high boots. She finished off her outfit with a black blazer. After she was dressed she ran a brush through her hair, not bothering to put on any makeup on and grabbed her backpack.

"Okay I'm ready." She called, as she descended the stairs, her brother waiting at the bottom. Though they were not related by blood they looked physically similar. They both had the same blue eyes and facial structure, the only difference was his hair was a few shades lighter than hers.

"With three minutes to spare." Chase smirked.

"Your driving?"

"Yep." He slid his arms into his leather jacket. It was his signature, he never went anywhere without it. Though she couldn't judge she has her fair share of leather jackets. One in every color almost. "So are you coming home with me or catching a ride with Bianca?"

"I'm gonna catch a ride. So you don't have to wait for me."

"Alright," Chase nodded, "Time to head to the salt mines."

Aurelia laughed, "Lead the way brother dearest."

~x~

Smiling she watched Alexa bounce up and down in uncontained excitement as they waited for Bianca to come back with the cheerleading results. Alexa was a sight to see with her dark hair and complexion, chocolate eyes and button nose. Though her looks were dark, her personality was anything but. She was a big ball of energy, exuberant, always living life to the fullest. Often Aurelia found herself wishing she could be more like that. As she watched Alexa she caught sight of the guy she accidentally attacked yesterday at his locker. She knew deep down she should go over and apologize, but she opted to just watching him letting her eyes casually take in his features. From his strong jawline to his broad muscular shoulders, to his lean legs and his firm ass.

"Alek Petrov."

"What?" She asked turning her attention to her best friend who was looking at her with a knowing smiling.

"The guy you were undressing with your eyes. His name is Alek."

Aurelia scoffed, "I was not undressing him." Alexa put her hand on her hip, clearly not buying it.

"I was not!" She denied.

"Hhm."

She sighed and bite her lip, it was obvious Alexa's was not going to let it go. And she was curious, this Alek and his friends knew a lot about her and she knew nothing about them. "So what's the DL?"

"But I thought you weren't-" Alexa teased playfully, smirking.

She shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm just curious."

"Curiosity killed the cat." Came Bianca's husky voice joining the conversation.

"But satisfaction brought it back." Alexa countered with a smile, "He's a junior. Captain of the basketball team." She nudged Aurelia in the side, "Single."

"Damaged goods." Bianca interrupted her.

"He's not damaged goods, don't listen to her."

Aurelia shifted her weight and crossed her arms, "What do you mean damaged goods?" Damn this new curious streak.

"He got his heart broken by Chloe King and hasn't been the same since."

"Well maybe he just needs to meet the right girl."

She rolled her eyes playfully at Alexa's suggestion before asking, "Chloe King wouldn't happen to be a tiny strawberry blonde would she?"

"Yeah," Bianca narrowed her eyes, "why?"

"No reason." She smiled brushing it off, "So did we make the team?"

~x~

"And we will be invited to all the best parties." Alexa happily listed all the perks of being a cheerleader as the three of them sat at their usual lunch table.

"Is that all?" Aurelia teased, which caused a fry to be thrown at her.

"Children please, behave." Bianca sipped her bottled water. Aurelia and Alexa shared a look before Aurelia threw the fry at the blonde haired beauty hitting her square in the face. Bianca's eyes were wide with astonishment causing her friends to erupt into a fit of giggles. Bianca picked up the fry and for a moment Aurelia thought she was going to through it at one of them and was greatly surprised when she shrugged and popped it into her mouth. Her and Alexa's giggles increased in volume and were joined by Bianca's laughter.

"What's so funny?" A familiar voice cut into their moment. He just had to have the same lunch period,Aurelia thought internally before locking eyes with Alek in a stare down. He smirked at her. What the hell is he up to?

"Oh, I just threw a fry at Lia, than she threw one at B, and it hit it right in the face, and now that I say it out loud it really wasn't that funny." Alexa babbled, oblivious to the tension surrounding the two Mai.

"I'm sure it was funny in a 'you had to be there' way." Alek said, not moving his gaze away from Aurelia.

"Yeah," Alexa smiled. "Please sit," she invited, gesturing to the empty seat beside Aurelia. Please say no, please say no.

Alek's smirk widen, "I don't mind if I do." He strode over pulling out the chair and dropped down. He was even arrogant enough to throw a shoulder around the back of her chair. Well at least she won the staring contest.

"Why are you sitting with us?" Bianca asked, her pretty blue eyes narrowed.

"Bianca!" Alexa scowled, but Alek waved it off.

"Do I need a reason to eat lunch with the prettiest girls in Marina High?" Alexa blushed and giggled, Bianca continued to glare and she just sat in her chair wishing for lunch to be over. "So I heard you three made the cheerleading squad, congrats. If you didn't know I'm the captain of the basketball team-"

"Your tone implies we should care?" she heard Bianca mutter, causing her to smirk as she picked at her salad absent-mindedly.

"Yeah, I know I was just telling Lia that when she asked me about you." She stiffened in her seat as the words came out of her best friends mouth.

Alek turned to look at her smugly, "You asked about me?"

"No." She replied not looking up, but stabbed harder at her salad.

"Yes." Her head snapped up and she glared at Alexa, who only smirked in response. "She did."

"Well I'm flattered Re."

She grimaced at the nickname. "I'm sure you are." She could feel her claws come out. Literally. She dug them into her palms to keep from lashing out. The last thing she need was a repeat of yesterday, in front of the whole cafeteria.

"You know there's a party next Friday, after the basketball game. Would you be my date?"

She opened her mouth to responded but her friends beat her to it.

"Yes." "No." Alexa and Bianca glanced at each and had their own little stare down before Alexa answered. "She'll be there."

"Then it's a date." Alek's arm squeezed her shoulders and she digged her nails deeper into her palms. "Are you gonna eat that?"

AN: A few questions. Do you want me to bring Mimi back? Do you want Chloe to still have nine lives and her empathy? And do you want Alek to act cocky like in this chapter or like Derek in teen wolf guarded and stuff? There's also a poll on my profile, please vote.
