Alec was getting a little pissed off, no wait, that would be an understatement. He was pissed off, and only getting more at each passing wide eyed stare. The students here acted like they had never seen a new student before. The worse case had been when some black girl, very attractive, stopped dead in her tracks and stared at him. After a few moments she turned and ran the way she came, completely ignoring anyone around her. 'Maybe I can get her number after I properly introduce myself to her.' He thought as he made his way out to the court yard. People were even worse out here, but before he could dwell on it he saw a movement out of the corner of his eye. Turning slightly he saw a petit girl around his age walking towards him, with a very dazed look in her eyes. The girl from before and a guy followed her.
Deciding it was time to introduce himself, he didn't quite get the chance. "Ben?"
"Who?" He asked confused, that seemed to snap her out of her trance.
"You look like someone I use to know." She almost whispered, breathing in a heavy breath.
"I'm Alec." He offered, holding his hand out to her. She didn't take her eyes off his face, and looked as if she was about to cry. Seeing that she wasn't going to reciprocate the gesture, he retracted his hand awkwardly.
"I'm Sketchy, this is Original Cindy," the guy offered pointing to himself and the girl from before. "Welcome to Seattle Public." Alec nodded and smiled at Sketchy, he was going to like Sketchy. Looking at Original Cindy he smiled a smile that always made the girls swoon. Instead she just raised an eyebrow as if saying 'That won't work, pretty boy.'
"Nice to meet you both, and you are?" He enquired looking at Max.
"Max, I'm Max," she replied in the whispered voice. Looking at her closer, he felt as if he had met her before. Something about her felt familiar, familiar in a sense that they knew each other.
Manticore. That's where he knew her from, he was sure of it. Deciding to test his theory, he whispered, "The fields." Her eyes told him everything as they grew wide and mouth opened slightly.
