Chapter 7
I couldn't sleep that night. I felt really bad about what happened today at lunchtime. I accidentally kept calling him Alex, only because there is like three other boys their called either Alex or are called Alexander but prefer Alex. It gets confusing sometimes. I hoped that my friend's information would be helpful, but I had a bad feeling it wouldn't.
I looked at my alarm clock, quarter to three, yay; I had another four hours till I could leave my dark lonely bedroom. I went to my laptop sitting closed on the edge of my desk. I opened it and saw I had two e-mails. One from Connie and one from Emily, I can't believe I missed them.
I opened Emily's,
Hey Scarlet,
Here's what I found on Alexander. I got it all from the pupil files in the head teacher's office; he falls asleep all the time luckily.
He was born on the 13th May, and he was born in London, so he is from around here, but he and his family moved to California, Miami, New York, Las Vegas in 3 years, wow, then his father, Peter Hale, died in a car accident, then they moved back to London, then Alaska and while in Alaska their mother, Elizabeth Hale, died from some cancer, so Alexander and his brother, Henry, moved down here to get away from it all. Kind of sad really, Henry is 24 now and Alex will be 16 soon. Henry doesn't have a job because they had a lot of money left from their parents. They also live in the old fire station, apparently people could live their now.
Hope I was helpful, Connie has information on him, I got stuff about his history, who knew the files could be so helpful.
See you tomorrow!
Emily!
Her email was really helpful actually. I then opened Connie's,
Hi Scarlet,
Here's stuff on Alexander!
He doesn't have a favourite colour, song, film, programme or book, weird. And the stuff he's listening to on his iPod is his parents, apparently before they had Alex and Henry, they were singers, they were called Black 'n' White, they were one of the most popular bands in the world, well until they had Henry, then the quit the business and everybody completely forgot about them. Kind of sad really.
Hope that's helpful!
Connie!
