The girl with the fading bruises and bright blue eyes walked in through the wide double doors. She was new. And had no clue what she was suppose to do or where she was suppose to go. Sighing she figured the office would be her next step. She walked forward and looked at what appeared to be a lounge. She threw off her heavy jacket and almost collapsed on a couch back in the corner. Her black tank top hugged her skin a little too close for comfort. It was freezing outside, well, kind of. She had just gotten back from two hours of running and was quite sweaty and hot. She took the rubber band holding her hair up out and let her dark hair fall in curls around her shoulders.
She leaned back and closed her eyes. She loved running, it always refreshed her mind and body. Made her feel peaceful, made her forget about...no, she would not think about that. Not now. Not after everything...it would not do well to dwell on the past. She shook off the memories and reached for her MP3 player. Music always helped her. She glanced around and noticed no one near enough to notice her. That was good. That was what she wanted. She put the ear phones in and turned the volume up to a song. She softly sang along as she closed her eyes once more.
Her name was Alexandria Elizabeth Johnson. But she preferred Alex, or Alexis. She had a history not worth repeating and was not in this school by choice. She only hopped she would make it.

Steve hopped over the back of the couch landing,sitting next to her, as he opened up his small bag of cheese nips, he raised his brows and tilted the small bag towards her in offering. He caught site of the wires that led up to her ears and he smirked a bit, as he started to do hand motions as if he was trying to communicate but really he wasnt he was just being goofy, trying to get her to smile or...something. He raised his brows at her and mouthed a hello.

When the boy plopped down next to Alexis she jumped a little in a startled motion. She hadn't expected anyone to come near...in fact she hadn't even seen anyone, well, anywhere moments before. She wasn't really in a smiley mood at the moment, with everything on her mind, but he was doing a great job at making her want to smile. Instead she took the earphones out and looked his way. Her bright blues eyes studied him carefully.
"Hi." She said, somewhat at a loss for words.

Alexis gave a small smile towards him. She couldn't help it. He was just one of those people that made her want to smile, even if she was just meeting him. She grabbed her jacket and went to put it on, one remembering she was wearing very little, and two to cover up her bruises that were still fresh.
"No thanks. And yeah, I'm new here. My names Alexandria...or you know, Alexis or Alex. Whatever."

"Yeah, its kinda of chilly in here."
When he told her his name she smiled. Steven. She liked that name. When he kissed her hand she even blushed slightly...before jumping that was. When people touched her, no correction, when guys touched her, she tended to get jumpy. After what she had been through it was expected. She felt as if she might have hurt his feelings and gave a remorseful smile.
"Im sorry, Im not big on the touching with strangers. Nothing personal...just, past experiences and such. And no, you are not freaking me out at all. Its nice actually."

'well.. whatever, so..'He grinned easily at her. "You a ...'He loked her over for a second.. "um...junior or... senior?"heasked her.

Alexis kept on smiling as he went on rambling a little bit. She hadn't smiled this much in a long time. It was nice and refreshing to hear someone talk besides yelling for one.
"Im a senior. I was suppose to be a junior but it was this whole big skipping kindergarten or something. I don't really complain about it. What about you? Im guessing...senior? You look like a senior to me."

Alexis shook her head at his compliment. Its not that she didn't think she was pretty...she just didnt think it overly so. As in guys flocking to her? Ha yeah right. Like that would ever happen. In her view she wasn't anything out of the ordinary. She smiled none the less.
"I doubt any guys will be flocking near me. Unless there happens to be another girl near me, then in that case flocking might happen. Or there will be flocking...just away from me."
She paused a second. "Where are you from, if you dont mind me asking? I can't seem to place it..."

Alexis nodded a bit. "Thats why I couldn't place your accent. Its a little bit of everything. It must be nice to see the world like that. Me? I am just from Florida. Then after...after some stuff happened I moved in with my Aunt. She decided she was going to send me off to the first school she could that would keep me away from her for as long as possible and...here I am. In the flesh."
She wasn't exactly sure why but she felt the need to tell him about herself. She thought that he wouldnt judge...but she had been wrong before. After all she had thought her ex had been a great person, and she was sure once upon a time she had thought the same of her father. She must have. Without realizing it she rubbed her arms where her bruises and cuts lay from the last time she had seen her father, and the last time she had seen her ex.

She smiled and forgot about her past for the moment. "Yeah, sure. Sounds like a plan to me. Traveling the world...Ive always been a fan of Australia so we would naturally have to go there first." She was starting to warm up to him and it felt nice to have someone she could talk to. But, she reminded herself, she had been wrong about people before. One thing was for sure, she would not let him hurt her.
