Chapter One: The Beginning

Alexis was at her deskwriting an essay. For some reason Mrs. Kimbel was obsessed withgiving innocent children essays to write this midterm. Alexis sighed as she wrote her second paragraph. “Come on hand don’t cramp on me now!”

“Alright students put your pencils down,” Said Mrs. Kimbel while she started collecting other students papers. Alexis started to panic. “What do you mean by put your pencils down! I’m not even finished yet!” Before Alexis knew it Mrs. Kimbel was at her desk.

“Alright Alexis, time to put your pencil down and hand in your paper,”

“No, it-it’s not finished yet!” Alexis said in a panicky voice as she tried to finish her paper in a frenzy.

“Alexis put your pencil down,” Said the teacher warningly. She kept on writing. “Alexis!”

Alexis jumped and the teacher quickly grabbed her paper.

“No, it’s not finished yet! Just-just let me finish that one sentence-”

“No Alexis. I gave you thirty minutes to write, you just have to deal with it like the other students,” Some of the students snickered at Mrs. Kimbel’s comment knowing about her obsession to write. Alexis shrunk in her seat feeling her cheeks grow warm with embarrassment.

Mrs. Kimbel sighed, “Alright students now that that’s over with,” She said eyeing Alexis. Alexis heard the Girly girl group giggling at her and immediately she felt ashamed and angry at the same time. Why did she have to like writing so much, and what was wrong with writing any way?

“Now,” continued the teacher, “I know that we have been working on writing and I know how much you hate it so I decided to jazz it up for you,” Instantly the class groaned and started complaining.

“Now, now! I know that your going to think that this project is going to be boring and all but I promise you you’ll thank me later,”

“Ah Mrs. Kimbel!” Groaned one of the guys “This is so idiotic!” Mrs. Kimbel raised her eyebrow.

“Really?” She said

“Yeah,” chirped one of the girly girls, “how is this going to help us in our future any way?”

“You’ll be surprised,” She said. “Alright now I’m going to hand out to each of you a book of my choosing and your going to write me an essay about the book and what your thoughts are about it,”

“What!” Squeaked one of the girly girls “You can’t make us read a book, I mean books are for nerds!” The teacher frowned

“Oh really? So you assume that anyone who reads is considered a nerd?”

“Well yeah,”

Mrs. Kimbel scoffed “Maddy just cause people read doesn’t make them a nerd. Look at Alexis she likes to read, does that make her a nerd?” The class smirked trying not to laugh or giggle.

Alexis sank even further into her seat. “God please kill me!”

“I see then,” Said the teacher now noticing the classes smirks and giggles. “Well your going to write whether you like it or not-”

“Why?” interrupted a boy from the back of the room(which was the class clown by the way)

The teacher sighed now getting annoyed with the whole interrupting thing.

“Because this counts for a grade, and if you don’t do the project you fail,” She said lamely.

“Now I’m going to hand out your books and don’t come complaining to me that you hate the book I already had enough of that from this class,” The teacher then walked around peoples desks and started handing out books.

“I got ‘The Notebook’!” Cried Maddy joyfully as if she one an academy award.

Soon Mrs. Kimbel got to Alexis’s desk and put the book on her desk. “Alice in wonderland?”

Suddenly the bell rang and kids streamed out of the room like rushing water while Mrs. Kimbel shouted to them when the project was due. Alexis just stared at the book in disbelief. “Of all the books in the world she had to pick this one,”

“You got ‘Alice in wonderland’?” Alexis jumped and saw a boy standing by her desk. He had bleached like hair that almost looked white and bluish greenish eyes that reminded her of the sea. It was very strange cause she hadn’t seen this boy in her class before. Was he knew or something? She shrugged it off.

“Yeah,” She sighed “I was kind of hoping for a better book but I guess It’ll do,”

The boy smiled “Well you never know a good book until you try it,”

“I guess,” She said. “Who the heck is this kid, and why is he talking to me?”

“So…” she said now starting to feel a bit uncomfortable “What book did you get?” The boy suddenly looked down at the floor looking a bit uncomfortable.

“ Oh, I-I don’t really remember what it’s called,” He said

“Oh, ok,” She said “well… I gotta go, see you!” She said quickly, walking towards the front door of the class room and out to the hallway. As she quickly walked down the hallway towards her locker she heard a someone call out her name.

“Alexis! Alexis wait!” She turned around and saw the same boy in her classroom running down the hallway after her. “Oh great, what does he want now!” She stopped and waited for him.

“Alexis hi, sorry to bother you and everything, but I was wondering if you wanted to work on our project together after school?” Alexis blinked not believing what he just asked her. “Why does he want to hang out with me! I don’t even know him!”

“I’m not sure I-”

“Please?” Begged the boy “We can meet at the park plus it’s such a nice day outside,”

“I don’t know,” Alexis said not sure if this whole ‘let’s be project buddies’ was such a good idea.

“Please?” He begged again

“I don’t think thi-”

“Alright meet me at six and will work on our projects. See you there!” And just like that he was down the hallway running. Alexis was speechless. “Who was that crazy dude?” she thought. She didn’t even know him and yet he wanted to hang out with her? He must have been on crack or something. Alexis shook her head.

“Well,” She sighed “I guess I’m meeting him at the park. I mean the world won’t turn up side down if I hang out with him or anything. Besides it’s just a stupid project,”
