End of the school day...

Shane's first day was pretty eventful overall. He made a friend, in Dean Ambrose, and an enemy, in Alexa Bliss. Although, he planned on changing enemy to friend before the school year was over. He also found out about the school's athletics, specifically its football team. Shane had always been fond of that particular sport, and felt a burning desire to participate in it. By tracking down and speaking to the head coach, he found out that tryouts were being held this Saturday, which gave him 5 days to prepare. Now, when you look at tbe boy, you don't really see a football player. He's lean, doesn't have a lot of muscle, and a little on the shorter side. 5'9 to be exact. However, what Shane lacked in size, he more than made up for it with speed, stamina, and a really good work ethic. In all his life he's never been one to back down from a challenge. He's a persistent guy to say the least. Hence the reason he's so determined to make Alexa his friend. Combined with the want to prove that Alexa wasn't a bad person, he sees it as a challenge. Even if it kills him, he will get everyone to see that she's not a witch and she's not as bad as people say she is. Anyway, day 1 was complete, and Dean and Shane walked out of the school together.

"So, Price. Where do you live at?" Dean asked.

"Oh, I live down on Powell Street. My house is just a small, modest two bedroom, 1 bathroom set up. Funny thing is, across the street is for lack of a better term, a giant ass mansion. It's not really a mansion, but it might as well be. The shit is huge! Me and my dad just moved here from Arizona, and we've never seen a house like that in person. Hell, we don't even know who lives in it. Whoever it is must be loaded." Shane answered.

"Wait, so you're not from New York ? Why'd you move from Arizona ?"

"I think my dad said something about getting a promotion from his job. To be honest, I don't really care why. I'm just glad that I got the hell out of Phoenix. There's nothing to do over there."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Alright man. I've gotta bounce, my parents are expecting me home early today. See you tomorrow." Dean said.

The two boys fist bumped, and Dean went home.

"I should be getting home soon too." Shane thought to himself.

He headed down to the train station and after a few minutes, he was there. He walked in, swiped his card, and caught a train right before it departed. He sat down and prepared to take a quick nap because he was tired. But before he drifted off to sleep, he saw a familiar person out of the corner of his eye.

"Alexa?" He said aloud to himself.

Upon hearing someone call her name, she turned in his direction, only to grimace on annoyance. Shane threw a smile back at her and made his way over to where she was sitting.

Alexa sighed.

"What do you want, Price?"

"I just wanted to say hi." He answered innocently.

"Okay, hi. Now go away."

"I can't. I don't get off a for a few stops."

"Then, move away from me. Go back to your seat."

He turned and saw that his seat had been taken by an old man.

"Sorry, no can do."

She glared at the boy.

"You are so fucking annoying. Look, you can sit down next to me, but do not say anything to me. Can you do that, Price?"

Shane nodded and sat next to the angry girl. For the next 10 minutes the two teens sat in silence. The train stopped at Powell Street, and Shane got up.

"Where are you going?" Alexa asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

"This is my stop." He answered confused.

"No, because this is my stop."

"Oh, then we just live close to each other. Cool."

And he walked out of the train while Alexa followed disgruntled.

As they were walking, Alexa noticed he was walking toward her house. She grabbed him by the arm and forced him to stop.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" She said, on the verge of yelling.

"I'm going home, short stuff. What's the problem?"

"Don't call me that! Where do you live?"

He pointed across the street and she internally screamed.

"No, no, no. This can't be happening."

"What, what's the matter? Wait, are we... Are we neighbors?"

She just glared at him.

"Oh my God. We are. You're the one who lives in this big ass house! Holy shit!"

Shane had a big smile on his face, while Alexa was seething. She gave him one angry look, and then stormed into her house.

Even after that, this boy kept smiling.

"What a girl." He said aloud.

Then he walked into his own house.


In Alexa's House 3 hours later...

Alexa was having dinner with her parents, and they were interested in what happened to her today. Well, when I say they, I mean mostly her dad.

"So, honey. How was your first day back in school?" Tyler, her dad asked.

"It was cool I guess." She said emotionless.

"Anything happen?"

"No, not really."

"Come on sweetie. Something of note had to happen today. Did you meet any new people?"

Alexa sighed annoyed.

"I met an annoying ass kid that wouldn't leave me alone."

Her dad perked up.

"Oh, so you think he's cute?"

"Hell no! He's an annoying spaz! And what's worse, is he's one of our neighbors."

Her mom, Allie, spoke up.

"Oh really? Which house?"

"The smallest one on the block. It's across the street." Alexa answered.

"Isn't that the new family that just moved here last month?" Mom asked her daughter.

"I don't know. I don't care either. I wish he would've moved somewhere else."

"What did this boy do to you anyway that you dislike him so much?" Dad asked.

"He's trying to be my friend."

"That doesn't seem so bad."

"I don't want him as a friend. He's a loser."

Now his mom was confused.

"How do you know? You've only known him for a day."

"He just is, okay?! Shut up, guys!"

Her parents were stunned in silence.

Alexa got up from the dinner table.

"I'm going to sleep. See you two in the morning." She said, then she stormed upstairs to her room.

Tyler looked at Allie, and she only had one thing to say.

"I told you not to ask too many questions."
