Alex had another bad day at school, honestly if she could quit she would. She never admitted to anyone at Trancy Manor, not even her close friend Alois,that she got picked on at school. Claude sensed sadness each evening and tried to talked to her but she wouldn't break to confess. Today upset Alex the most, the day had barely started and Byron was already onto Alex. Byron deliberately tripped Alex in the central locker hallway, he then crouched down beside her and pushed her thick black hair behind her ear and whispered loud enough ,so people watching heard, "demon scum". People watching giggled, Alex had had enough of this - she knew the day would only get worse.
The bell rang for the end of class, collecting her bag Alex made a dash for the bus. Stepping onto the bus, Alex looked ahead seeing Byron making full eye contact at her. His negativity was clouding Alex, she felt threatened even by his presence but Alex made a promise to her father, stay strong and no more 'habits'. Alex put some music on to ease the journey *15 minutes later* the bus was pulling up to the Manor so Alex began to put her music device away. "Bye bye demon S-C-U-M" wow, Byron got the cheerleaders involved, how original. Alex was in a daze of thinking about comebacks she could say to him tomorrow, not really paying attention that she was walking up steps - Alex stacked on the stairs which caused her leg to bleed and bruise. First on the scene were the triplets.
*Alex P.O.V*
'Wheres dad, Alois, Hannah? cant move- must stay- ... here-' . The triplets must have moved me, it appears that i had woken up in my room, sitting beside me is Alois and at the end of my bed is my father. Anyone would think he would rather do jobs than watch me trying to wake up from being passed out *end P.O.V*
"How did i get here?" Alex asked as her head started to spin. Pushing his glasses further up his nose, Claude answered by simply saying he saw Alex walking so he went to approach her but saw her trip, so he shouted out to the triplets for assistance. "You were there?! Sorry, that was not meant to sound rude, i just- ... thank you for calling the triplets in for help". Everyone left the room so Alex could relax, it was unfortunate that she couldn't fall back to sleep. All she thought about was the memory that was stuck in her head left by Byron. Alex kept tossing and turning thinking about it until Claude walked in to remind his daughter of the Phantomhive garden party. Well, Alex nearly flew out of bed "I will get to see Finnian, right, right, right!?". "Yes, hopefully" Claude smiled "you are very excited, aren't you? Come on, we should be getting ready"
