A/N: Hey guys I bring you another chapter! This is the only one I've been able to make during the holidays unfortunately. I know I said at least 2-3 but I am really stressed as my father and I lost our jobs (we worked for the same company but it closed down) and there is no income. I have a large number of assessments due in week 2 of the term 4, and I am getting really sick. I hope you guys understand. Anyways please enjoy, the characters may be a bit more OOC than usual.

"Duncan I can't believe that you kicked Trent off our table!" Gwen said as she gave him a 'why the hell did you do that' face.

"Well he just wasn't fitting in with us," Duncan said as crossed his arms and looked over his shoulder.

"What, because he was gay?" Bridgette said looking disgusted as she could see that she was right. Everyone but Duncan supported gay people. He didn't really give anyone a reason as to why, he just said that they were what was wrong with the Earth.

"Ugh I can't believe you!" Gwen said as everyone walked off, leaving Duncan and Courtney at the table.

"Courtney, we are dating. I thought you would've defended me since you always have so much to say." Duncan said as though Courtney had betrayed him.

"What was I supposed to say? You are the only person who doesn't like gay people. And besides, when have you gotten so.. uh, soft?" Courtney said as she leaned over and wrapped her arm around Duncan.

"Soft! You think I have gone soft!?" Duncan yelled. In his mind his was thinking if anyone else saw him as soft. He thought that this would then be the end of his bad reputation.

"Oh Courtney! I thought you would have defended me!" Courtney said mocking Duncan. Maybe being with Courtney had made him become 'soft' or at least a bit soft.

"I did NOT say it like that," Duncan said firmly looking over at Courtney.

"Well you should have because that was how it sounded to me."

THE NEXT DAY

Alejandro had turned up at school looking like crap. He went to the school toilets to fix up his appearance.

"Hey man, whats up? I noticed you weren't at school yesterday." Geoff said whilst also fixing his appearance.

"I've been busy," Alejandro said as he didn't want to discuss anything with Geoff.

"Doing what?" Geoff asked with curiosity.

"Look Geoff, I've had a rough day yesterday so can you just quit with the questions." Alejandro said. He could feel his muscles tensing as his hands were forming into the shape of a fist. As soon as this happened he released his anger and relaxed by running his hands through the water that the tap released.

"Alright, I guess I'll just go now…" Geoff said walking out of the toilets with a worried expression on his face.

Alejandro looked up and stared at himself in the mirror. He focused on his eyes and saw the past events that had made him feel this way. He cupped water into his hands and splashed his face to relax. He had to tell someone about this who he could trust to get his secret off his chest.

Bridgette was at her locker just about to head to her next class. She finished collecting the books that she needed and closed her locker. Before she could walk off Alejandro had pulled her aside.

"Bridgette may I talk to you?" he asked in a gentle voice.

"Uh..I..sure," Bridgette said as she thought that she might try and see the person Alejandro really is.

...

"You have to tell Gwen!" Bridgette yelled. Leshawna was right.

"Uh..I don't know if she wants to talk to me." Alejandro said honestly looking down at the floor.

"I'll convince her to," Bridgette said confidently, she actually felt a bit happy but his secret was the total opposite. So her feelings were juxtaposed against each other.

Bridgette had lucky timing to convince Gwen as the bell rang to move to the next class. (I'm not American so I don't know how the bell system works but I mean the bell where students go to their lockers and then to their next class). Bridgette ran down the hall to Gwen's locker. Just as she got there Gwen just opened her locker.

"Gwen! I'm so glad I found you." Bridgette said a bit breathless.

"Hey Bridgette, what's up?" Gwen said looking for her books for her next class.

"Gwen I need you to come with me right now."

"What for?" Gwen asked.

"I know the truth about Alejandro, and he wants to tell you.." Bridgette said seriously.

"Look Bridgette I don't really care anymore about…" Bridgette cut Gwen off by saying "Gwen, listen to me. With the secret that Alejandro had he was right to follow Heather's commands. Can you just trust me with this please. You will regret it if you don't go and listen to what he has to say."

Gwen looked down and sighed. She thought it be better to not see him, but she didn't want to feel regret again either.

"Alright I'll go.." and as Gwen said that Bridgette lead the way to where Alejandro and his secret were waiting.

"Ah thankyou chica," Alejandro said to Bridgette before she closed the door.

"Gwen, thankyou for…" Alejandro started to say before he was interrupted by Gwen.

"Look I didn't come here for an apology, I came to hear why you did the things you did." Gwen said looking at Alejandro.

"Alright, I guess I'll get right to it then…

It was about 2 years ago now. My family and I were down at our holiday house down by a very beautiful lake. I was the favourite child, yet my brother was always the good, well behaved one. To me this didn't make much sense. Anyways my parents stayed at the house while my brother and I walked down to set on the pier next to the lake. We would usually take rocks and see who could throw the furthest. That time he just stared through the water and said that he just needed to go and get something and that he would be back soon. I was waiting there for half an hour. I knew something wasn't right so I ran back to the house. As soon as I opened the door I saw my parents tied up on the ground and my brother with a knife. I knew what he was going to do so I ran and tackled him to the ground. I was lucky I wasn't stabbed. I rolled him on his back and pressed my thumb into his wrist so he would let go of the knife. Once he let go I grabbed it and pressed the tip against his chest near his heart. He kept saying I'm sorry, I lost control of my anger, please Alejandro don't, I'm your brother. As soon as he said brother I..I pushed the knife through his chest and I just stared into his eyes. I saw his pain, his guilt and I saw death run through him. After I got up off him I untied my parents and we called the police. Later when the police came they didn't believe my story. I was taken to the station where they questioned me and I told them exactly what happened. After they interviewed my dad and he lied. He lied for me. He said that he was the one who killed my brother and the police believed him. Ever since I have had this guilt built up inside of me and I don't know why I even stabbed my brother."

"Oh.. Alejandro, but wouldn't the knife have your fingerprints on it?" Gwen asked feeling a bit shocked.

"It should have, but my father must have cleaned it and replaced it with his fingerprints." Alejandro said whilst looking down at his hands.

"Uh..I.. I need to go to go and think about some things," Gwen said as she decided to leave the room.

Alejandro just sat in the room for a few more minutes thinking about everything in his life. He placed his hands on his face and then got up and left the room.
