Monday
"Mitchie, come on we need to leave now!" My mom called to me from downstairs. I looked at the time on my phone and saw that it was only seven forty-five. I quickly finished applying my usual amount of mascara and puffed my hair up a little to make it look messier than it actually was. "Mitchie, I'm not kidding, let's go!" She yelled again as I left my bedroom and locked the door behind me.
The new school uniform my mom had purchased for me over the weekend was exactly the same as Alex's; a dark and light blue plaid skirt, a black blazer, a black tie and a white shirt. I'd topped it off with my lucky long-chained gold crucifix necklace and a pair of plain patent black stiletto heels which made me look around five foot six rather than just five foot. My ankle had completely healed after a couple of days so I could walk in heels again, which I believed to be a godsend, and all my visible bruises had faded enough to be completely covered with makeup. The only injury that hadn't completely disappeared was the angry purple bruise on my right hip but it had faded immensely. I was no longer in any pain and as I walked down the stairs my mom fake wolf-whistled at me to show her appreciation.
"You look beautiful, my darling. But if you're late for your meeting with the principal you'll regret it, honestly. Come on, I promise you won't have to leave at this stupid time again, they tend to save this time to be in for the teachers." My mom joked as she led us to her car. I smiled weakly at her; she knew I was nervous about starting a new school despite the fact that this time I knew someone there. "I wish you wouldn't plaster yourself in makeup so much… you're so beautiful." She told me as we stopped at the traffic lights. She was just looking at me, taking in what I looked like as if I was going to disappear sometime soon.
"You know how I feel about myself, mom…" I mumbled, looking down to prevent her from seeing my face. I felt especially ugly today, I tried not to, but honestly I just needed Alex to tell me I was beautiful. I was so nervous about meeting loads of new people and my mom telling me I was beautiful previously boosted my confidence a little but she had to say that because she was my mom.
"I know sweetie, but you are naturally beautiful and I'm not just saying that because I'm your mom…" She trailed off, watching the way I was picking at my long manicured nails. "You nervous?" She asked me knowingly. I nodded silently and looked out of the window, willing the lights to change to green so we could move and get to the school quicker. "You can smoke… if you want…" She trailed off. This would be the second time I'd smoked in front of her; I guessed that she just knew it would help me to relax a little.
"Thanks." I murmured, pulling a fresh packet of menthol cigarettes from my purse and quickly grabbing one, lighting it with the lighter that Alex had bought for me during a date when I didn't have one to hand.
"Just put the window all the way down, I don't want the smell to linger." She instructed, pressing the main control pad to bring her window and the two in the back as far down as they would possibly go.
We soon arrived at the school and just before we pulled in to the gates I tossed my cigarette out of the window, earning a disapproving look from my mom. The parking lot we went to was specifically there for teachers and it was half-full. My mom pulled into a space with her name on it and we both got out, my mom leading the way to the principal's office.
We were greeted by a thirty-something year old man with grey hair and a stomach which protruded over his pants slightly. He wore plain black pants with a plain white button up shirt much like my own and a red tie, all together making him look smart.
"Good morning, Ms. Munroe, Mitchie, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said as he nodded politely to my mom and shook my hand firmly, leading us inside his office to sit opposite a cluttered desk. "Now, Mitchie, I have your file here and everything seems to be looking good. Your mom explained to me the severity of your situation in your previous school and when she did I just couldn't bring myself to say no to your transfer. You seem to be an excellent and exceedingly bright pupil and I'm sure you'll be a much appreciated addition to our school." He told me kindly with a soft smile. My mom grinned at me proudly, she'd always prided herself in making sure I got far in life with my good grades, she got pregnant with me when she was just twenty years old in college and everyone told her that I would amount to nothing with such a young mother. She went out of her way to prove them wrong. "Now, let's discuss your day, shall we?"
After handing me my schedule he explained to me that I would be in my mom's English class (meaning I would be in Alex's too) and that after recent request from my mom, Alex and I had been put in as many classes together as possible since she was the only person I knew. I doubted highly that he would have complied with the request had he have known that Alex was my girlfriend but I wasn't complaining.
I had five of my eight periods with Alex, excluding tuition where I would be in my mom's group for her own peace of mind, and the only lessons that I wasn't with her were Biology, Spanish and Math.
At eight fifteen I was released from the principal's office and my mom showed me to my first lesson which was Spanish so that meant no Alex.
My first three lessons of the day were Spanish, Math then Biology which wasn't really a bad thing because it meant that once they were over I would get to spend the whole day with Alex. Whilst I was sitting in Biology, listening to the teacher go over things that I'd already covered in my previous school, I felt my phone vibrate in my bra.
Lexi: I'll meet you by your locker at the start of break? You can come meet my friends if you'd like.
I smiled at the text and quickly tapped in a reply under the table before slipping my phone into my bra, earning a knowing look from the teacher who brushed it off upon seeing that I had put my phone away again.
Break rolled around quickly and sure enough, Alex was at my locker waiting for me to meet her there. I didn't really know where I was going but I knew that my locker was in the English block near my tuition room so I knew that all I had to do was find my way out of the main school building and into the only other building on the school grounds.
"Hey beautiful, it's nice to see you here." She greeted me, wrapping her arms around my waist and pecking my lips softly, catching me off guard because I knew she wasn't out in school so I wasn't expecting her to be so forward. I looked at her quizzically and she answered my silent question. "I'm not out because I never had a reason to be, I refuse to hide my relationship with you because it's a good reason to be out. I want to hold my girlfriends hand and kiss her without hiding, is that allowed?" She asked me with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. I giggled shyly and ducked my head as she took my hand in hers and interlaced our fingers, leading me away from my locker and outside. "Come on, let's go smoke. You can meet my friends." She told me as she held the door open for me to leave the English block.
"How are we going to smoke at school?" I asked her obliviously. At the girls' school we were only allowed to go off-site at lunch and until then we couldn't smoke because there was literally a teacher on duty wherever you went. Alex laughed at me quietly and began to lead us to the far end of the school playing field where I could vaguely make out a group of around fifty people huddled together around a tree in the cold winter air.
"Teachers don't come up here for ten minutes so it gives us chance to smoke before they come up, we do it every day. On Fridays your mom is the one that has to come and break us up so you have even less to worry about then." She explained to me as we neared the group. A few people were keeping watch for teachers so they were alternating between themselves who got to smoke and when.
"Hey guys!" Alex exclaimed happily to a group of around seven people that were to the left of the group huddle. They all said hello in some way to her then looked at me expectantly, taking notice of the fact that Alex and I were holding hands. "This is Mitchie, my girlfriend." She told them casually, causing one of the girls in the group to choke on her smoke and grimace at the taste and a guy with dark hair to hand ten bucks to a girl who sported short blonde hair with a smirk in Alex's direction.
"Alex, you're gay?" asked the girl that was previously choking. Alex nodded with a small shrug as she handed me her cigarette after smoking half of it. "I didn't know that."
"No one did, I never hid it but you never asked." She told them, moving behind me to wrap her arms around my waist from behind to keep us warm.
"Uh, I did, James and I had a bet and I just won." said the girl with short hair, showing her newly-earned ten dollar bill to Alex to prove her point and then pocketing it in her slightly faded blazer. "I knew all along." She said. Alex shrugged, she didn't seem to care about whether her friends accepted it or not, she was just open.
After a few minutes of comfortable chatter the group of us began walking away from the field; just in time apparently because an old balding man who was obviously a teacher was walking toward the quickly-dispersing group.
"So, Mitchie, how long have you and Alex been together?" A girl whose name I'd learnt to be Bethan asked me kindly, trying to bring me properly into the group conversation. The question caught me off-guard; I wasn't really expecting anyone to pay any attention to me as we all sat down at a table in an empty classroom with another five pupils who joined the conversation casually. I assumed they were the non-smokers of the group.
"Uhm… we've been dating since like, early September but she asked me to be her girlfriend just over a week ago… so we've been together for like two and a half months." I answered finally, realising that it was nearing the middle of November… meaning that it was nearly my eighteenth birthday.
"That's so adorable, someone finally tamed her." A boy whose name I didn't know commented, earning a few quiet chuckles from other members of the group and a punch in the arm from Alex.
"You say that like I'm some slut who can't keep her pants up but realistically, you guys don't know anything about my dating life, you just know that no guys have managed to get me and now you know why." She told him firmly, making it evident that she wasn't impressed by his comment. "And for the record guys, I'm not a player of any sort, I've had one girlfriend in the past and it ended badly. I intend to be one hundred percent faithful to Mitchie and I know that she'll be faithful back." She told them all proudly before she kissed my cheek softly, causing a few of the girls to say 'aw' at how adorable she was being.
I smiled adoringly at her before the warning bell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. "What lesson do we have now babe?" I asked Alex, knowing that for the rest of the day we had lessons together.
"You're going to hate this but we have gym, do you have gym clothes?" She asked me quietly, obviously not expecting me to have them.
"I do actually; I brought literally everything I could possibly have needed to avoid a situation where I might have to embarrassingly borrow clothes from the school." I told her, proud of my smart idea. "They're in my purse so we don't have to go to my locker." I added as we stood up and Alex pulled my chair out for me like a real gentle-girl. "You're so polite." I commented as she wrapped her arm around my waist and pulled me close to her so we could walk together.
"Shh, I don't want the word to get round." She whispered, giggling quietly at her own attempt at a joke. We stopped outside the girls changing rooms and waited with the rest of the group.
"Hey everybody, Alex Russo is poli…" I began to shout to wind her up, earning the attention of every girl around us. Alex laughed and cut me off by pressing her finger to my lips, pushing me up against the hard wall. She quickly replaced her index finger with her lips and in that moment I didn't care about who was looking or my surroundings. I heard a few gasps as our lips connected but there were no snide comments or people pushing us which was a nice change from where I'd come from.
I completely lost track of time and groaned loudly when Alex was forced to pull away from me. "If Alex would like to get her tongue out of the new girl's throat then we can go in," I heard a cheery, mature voice before Alex disconnected her lips from mine with a loud laugh.
"Oh, please, like us using tongues is for show, that doesn't happen unless we're alone." She quipped with an eyebrow wiggle, earning herself a quick reflex smack in the arm from me and an eye-roll from the teacher.
The voice belonged to a short and cheery looking PE teacher dressed in a dark pink jacket and matching pink pants, both carrying the school logo. "Alex, new girl, a word please." She told us as she unlocked the door to let the other girls in. Once they'd all entered the changing rooms the kind-looking teacher turned to the two of us as we held hands shamelessly in front of her.
"First of all, I'm Ms. Sutton, welcome to the school," She began, putting her hand out to shake my free one.
"Mitchie." I mumbled quietly to her, embarrassed at what she had just witnessed.
"Pleasure to meet you and welcome to the group Mitchie, it's clear that you know Alex which is great but I do have to speak with the two of you seriously now." She told us firmly, gesturing for the two of us to go into the PE office which was situated next door to the changing rooms. "Now girls, after what I've just witnessed I need your word that you'll be mature and platonic when you're in the changing rooms. The school rules are that boys and girls can't change together because of inappropriate behaviour, if I allow you two to change together I need you to promise me that you will be appropriate in there, which means no eye-sex or anything along those lines." She told us bluntly, looking between the two of us and smiling to show us that she didn't mind and she really was just following the rules.
"We swear, miss. Aside from Ms. Munroe you're the only other teacher that I respect. It used to be equal but since I found out that she's my girlfriend's mom I kind of respect her more, no offence or anything but…"
"Alex, shut it, you're rambling." I told her with a laugh. She tended to do that when she was uncomfortable or she thought she was on the verge of offending someone.
"Ah, so you must be Sonny's daughter, unless Alex is the player that I've heard about." The teacher commented with a smile directed at the both of us.
"What the hell? Why does everyone think that I'm a player?! I've had one girlfriend aside from Mitch and aside from those two I've not been with anyone else." Alex defended herself immediately, I could tell by the look on her face that she was genuinely shocked at what everyone had heard but she didn't seem to be taking it to heart.
"I'm kidding, Alex. Go and show your girlfriend to the changing rooms and get ready." Ms. Sutton instructed Alex with the same smile that was yet to disappear.
After changing and trying oh-so-hard not to watch Alex whilst she did we were all ordered into the gymnasium where the group of around thirty girls were split into three teams to play dodgeball.
By our sixth period lunch break I was finally adjusting to seeing boys walking around the school as well as girls. Alex's friends seemed to accept me into their group which I was thankful for and throughout the day I'd had no negative comments about my relationship with Alex. The news had of course spread like wildfire but that was to be expected in a high school where we weren't exactly hiding it. It wasn't until seventh period when someone actually said something to us about it but even then Alex gave the guy a threatening look when he asked if he could watch and he backed off.
"Are you like the school hard ass or something?" I asked Alex as we strolled casually down to our English lesson, the final lesson of the day with my mom. Alex's head snapped up and she looked at me with a devilish smirk.
"Watch this and then decide for yourself," She told me, her eyes landing on a girl who I noticed was in our gym class. "Hey, bitch, what the hell have you been saying about me?!" she growled angrily at the girl who got a terrified look in her eyes.
"W-What?! I… N-nothing, I swear, Alex!" she defended herself nervously, turning away from the water fountain which she was using to refill her drinks bottle.
"Good. Do one," she told her threateningly. The girl quickly scarpered until she was out of our sight and Alex turned to me, all evidence of any kind of anger completely wiped from her. "That answer your question?" she asked with a smirk.
"Okay, you are… has she really been saying anything about you?" I asked her curiously, unsure of whether or not that was all an act to prove to me how 'hard' she was.
"Nah, I just like to scare people occasionally. I don't want people to think I'm going soft so every once in a while I will assert my authority." She informed me as if it was nothing. The idea of Alex being rough and scary turned me on so much, I literally just wanted to slam her against the lockers we were walking past and take her right then and there.
"I like that… you're so hot." I told her nervously. We'd only ever said 'beautiful' or something like that and whilst it was amazing how she could make me feel like I was, neither of us ever crossed the line into 'hot'.
"I like it when you call me that." She whispered into my ear, her hot breath hitting me and only turning me on more. I was in dire need of relief and if this lesson didn't pass quickly so I could go home and 'fix myself' I'd probably explode, no exaggeration.
"I like it when you touch me, like I seriously need you to touch me right now." I told her as we approached the bathroom situated inside the English block.
It took only those words for Alex to drag me inside and pull me into a tiny cubicle. The last time I was in school toilets I was getting the shit kicked out of me but being with Alex made me feel safe from everything and everyone.
It took only seconds for her to start running her hands up and down my bare thighs, teasing me over my underwear. She knew how turned on I was and she was totally using it against me. "Alex for fuck sake, I warned you about starting something you can't finish." I growled at her as the pad of her thumb brushed gently over my fabric-covered clit. She smirked at me and captured my lips between hers, biting roughly at my bottom lip. I only pulled away from her when I felt my phone vibrate in my bra.
Mom: Get to class now, the both of you. Don't make me mark you late on your first day x
"Ugh, we need to go." I told Alex reluctantly. She scratched down my thighs roughly and I moaned loudly before exiting the stall with her behind me.
This lesson was going to be interesting, to say the least.
