Sorry it's not too long, but it works. I meant to post the next chapter earlier today, but I was busy. Let me know if you want to keep it a two shot or should I continue it? Either way REVIEW!


Mitchie's POV

The last bell rang signaling the end of school. I packed up all my stuff and headed to my locker where I exchanged my books for ones I would need to do my homework.

"Ugh, there's that freak that always smiles." I heard a voice say from behind me. I turned around and saw a group of girls walking towards the exit.

"I heard from Drake that she's always smiling because she gets laid every night, what a slut" The blonde in the middle of the group said causing the other five girls to burst out in laughter. I felt tears stinging in the back of my eyes. Wow Mitch, you wimp. Suck it up! I told myself slamming my locker door shut. I intended to walk home, but I found myself sitting on a bench on school grounds.

Do people really think I sleep around? Are there rumors going around that I don't know about? I got caught up in my thoughts when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see a pretty girl with raven-black wavy hair and dark brown eyes. I remembered that her name was Alex and that she didn't talk.

I've always felt bad for her. The teacher told us that she had seen her parents die when she was ten and hasn't spoken since. She has two brothers, an older one (who's a jerk) and a sweet younger brother that I help tutor down at the elementary.

She smiled shyly and I could see a blush on her cheeks making her look adorable. I only noticed that she had her hand behind her back when she brought it out to my view. She was holding a red rose with a small folded paper stuck on a single thorn. Aw, how'd she know that's my favorite flower? Or was it just a coincident Most likely the ladder. I took the rose and unfolded the peice of paper. I found myself smiling at the note then looked back up to thank her but she wasn't there. I looked up and down the walkway and looked over the surrounding area but she was nowhere to be found.

A bit saddened, I looked back down to the rose and smelled it smiling. That's when I heard some rustling and saw Alex run in the other direction with a spring in her step. I giggled. She was just too adorable.
