Lisa snuck into Alex and Jackson’s dorm and was standing by their bed. “WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!” Perfect revenge. || “Jeez Lisa...” Jackson mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.
Alex sat up and glared at Lisa. “What the hêll Lisa? I was actually sleeping for once....”
“He was actually sleeping. That’s rare.” Jackson grumbled. || “W- what were you t- two doing?” Lisa’s face drained of all color.
“Well I was sleeping.” Alex said. “But not anymore thanks to you.”
“Could you please leave now?” Jackson asked. || “Gladly.” Lisa said, bolting out the door.
“Ugh...all I want to do right now is go back to sleep. Or drink coffee. Or both.” Alex groaned.
“I don’t know where to get coffee, so you could just go back to sleep.” Jackson said.
“Unfortunately I can’t.” Alex sighed. “I’m way too scared.”
“Then you’re gonna be awake and coffee-less.” Jackson shrugged
“I know.” Alex said. “But...I guess I’ll live.”
“You will live, Alex.” Jackson smiled.
Lisa say huddled in a corner somewhere, absolutely horrified of her brother and Alex.
“Yeah...and if I’m lucky I’ll find some coffee.” Alex laughed || Eliza was walking through the hall, and stopped when she passed Aurora. “Hey new girl.”
“In the meantime, what do you want to do?” Jackson asked.
“I dunno...” Alex shrugged. || “Well, obviously your New here.” Eliza smiled. “So who are you?”
Jackson slumped back, thinking of something they could do. “Me neither...” (ye?)
“Well...we could stop laying around like lazy turtles.” Alex suggested
“That’d Be nice.” Jackson laughed. (Lizzie. I said no powers.)
“As much as I’d love too, we probably should get up.” Alex sighed || “I’m Elizabeth Schuyler. Also known as the girl with the dead brother.” Eliza said
Jackson got out of bed, stretched, then offered a hand to help Alex up.
(I said no.)
“Ugh...fine.” Alex said, getting up on his own. || Eliza laughed. “Well Anyway, Welcome Aurora!”
“Why didn’t you take my ‘kind gesture’ to help you up?” Jackson laughed
(nope)
“I’ve never been one to accept help.” Alex shrugged.
“Well you should.” Jackson said. “Make your life a two-player game, find a player two to always be by your side.”
(I know. But I’m not changing my mind.)
“But I’m fine on my own. I’ve survived twenty years of my life of my own.” Alex said
“Your welcome!” Eliza smiled
“Alex, you suck.” Jackson said. That’s what she said.
(Well then maybe you should’ve thought this through.)
“I’m well aware of that.” Alex said. || “I’ll introduce you to everyone if you want.” Eliza said.
“Try not to do that.” Jackson said.
“Do What?” Alex asked. || “Great! I’m sure we’re bound to find someone.” Eliza explained
“Try nit to be a loner who sucks.” Jackson said.
“It’s a little too late for that...” Alex sighed. “I wasn’t always a loner though.” || “Hey humans! There’s a new kid you might want to meet!” Eliza shouted
“Oh yeah, you had that boyfriend who died... wasn’t it John or something?” Jackson said. || Chloe came bolting towards Eliza. “Whom is it?”
Alex flinched at the sound of John’s name. “Yeah...although I suppose I should be used to it by now.” || “Mimmi, this is Chloe. She’s kinda creepy at first, but she’s amazing once you get to know her.” Eliza explained
(Okay
“It’s way worse to loose someone you love rather than a dad...” Jackson sighed. || “Hi. I’m Chloe. I like to write and draw. And I’m a doctor. And I think I had too much hot cocoa. Agh!” Chloe spoke way to fast and her smile wouldn’t fade away.
“Oh I lost my dad too. And my mom. And my cousin. And my best friend.” Alex said. “And frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if I lost anyone else.” || Eliza laughed. “Calm down Chloe!”
“That must be awful...” Jackson looked down. || “I’m sorry. Nice to meet you. I think I had too much sugar.” Chloe was practically jumping up and down now.
“I moved past it all years ago. Let everyone think I didn’t care.” Alex said. “But really I’m just scared. And lonely.” || “Um...Chloe, what did you eat that had so much sugar in it?” Eliza asked
“I’m... so... so sorry.” Jackson said. || “A pound of cotton candy, ten gallons of slushies and about a gram of just plain sugar.” Chloe said.
“Don’t be sorry. It’s my fault I’m like this.” Alex sighed. “I’m to scared to let anyone become close to me.” || “CHLOE!” Eliza screamed. “How is that even possible?!”
“I’m close to you.” Jackson said. “And it’s not your fault.” || “I have no idea, but that sugar was really weird.” Chloe twitched a little. “Sorry if this is a weird first impression, Mimmi.”
“Your close to me because I care about you too much to push you away.” Alex said. “I already tried once.” || “My first impression was pretty bad.” Eliza laughed
“And I care about you too much as well.” Jackson smiled a little, trying to brighten the mood. || “Eliza...” Chloe scratched the back of her neck.
“You do realize your going to get hurt because of me...right?” Alex asked.
“How? I’m not hurt.” Jackson said, confused.
“Not yet.” Alex said. “But I tend to break hearts.”
no, stop asking
“I have chocolates, stuffed bears, and a sister who says “I told you so,” so I’m prepared.” Jackson laughed.
“Yeah, well hopefully you won’t need all that.” Alex smiled
goodnight iris
“Hopefully.” Jackson said.
“Hey...Jackson?” Alex said. “Can we make a promise...that no matter what happens, we will always be best friends?”
ZOEY. I NEED TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING FUNNY.
WHAT
“Definitely.” Jackson nodded.
“Great.” Alex smiled. “Because I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“Alex?” Jackson asked.
“Yeah?” Alex looked up up at Jackson. “Whats up?”
“Can I give you a nickname?” Jackson smirked
“Sure. I don’t really have one anymore, come to think of it.” Alex said
“Lexi.” Jackson said. “Is Lexi okay with you?”
“I guess.” Alex laughed. “But it does make me sound like a girl.”
“That’s What makes it cute though.” Jackson laughed.
“I suppose it would be what I deserve.” Alex sighed. “I used to have a thing for giving people strange nicknames.”
“Hey... you never gave me a nickname.” Jackson said.
“I stopped a while ago.” Alex shrugged. “Back when John died.”
“If you don’t mind me asking, what was his nickname?” Jackson asked
“I called him turtle.” Alex laughed. “Cause he had a turtle obsession.”
“That is probably the weirdest obsession I’ve ever heard of.” Jackson laughed.
“It really was. But it was kind of cute too.” Alex said. “The turtles are probably perishing without him.”
“Poor turtles.” Jackson said.
“Eh. I personally never liked turtles.” Alex shrugged.
“I think the bigger the turtle is, the more epic it’s is.” Jackson said.
“Nope. Not at all.” Alex shook his head. “I actually hate turtles.” || At that moment Eliza walked in. “Oh really Alex?” She said. “I have proof that your lying.”
Jackson turned to Eliza and smiled. “Hi Eliza!” || There was a loud thud, probably caused by Chloe running head-first into a wall far away.
“Hey. I’ve come here with proof that Alex is lying to you.” Eliza smirked. || “Oh golly...Eliza please don’t.” Alex groaned
“I would like to see this proof.” Jackson laughed.
Eliza took out her phone and showed Jackson a picture of Alex and John holding a bunch of baby turtles. And both of them actually look happy. “There. Proof.” || Alex rolled his eyes. “Of course, you have to take pictures of everything, don’t you Eliza?”
“That is absolutely adorable.” Jackson laughed.
“Yeah, it is. It’s a shame you never got to meet Alex when he was like this.” Eliza laughed.
“I wish I had.” Jackson said.
“Oh please. I wasn’t that much different.” Alex said
“You look much happier.” Jackson said. || Chloe made another loud noise. It sounded she broke something made from glass. “FRICK!”
“I wasn’t any happier. I was just better at hiding it.” Alex said
“Oh...” Jackson looked down.
“I’ve had a very traumatic childhood Jackson. I’m never going to be happy.” Alex said
“Lexi, you are the living embodiment of tragic backstories.” Jackson said.
Alex smiled. “So I am. But I have to say, it’s probably just gonna be a tragic life in general.”
“Alex, I’m gonna go to sleep. If you want, you can join me.” Jackson said.
“Yes please. Sleep sounds great right about now.” Alex said. || “What the heck just happened?!” Eliza screamed. “Alex?! Sleep?!”
“I’m also shocked. Goodnight to you both.” Jackson said calmly. || “ELIZA!” Chloe screeched.
“Well...Goodnight guys...” Alex laid down and was asleep in an instant. || “I guess I’ll go deal with Chloe.” Eliza said as she left
Jackson laughed at how quickly Alex fell asleep, then fell asleep himself. || “I THINK I SCREWED UP!” Chloe shouted.
“Oh be quiet Chloe! I’m going to try to sleep!” Eliza shouted
“I think swallowed a nail....” Chloe looked at her hands skeptically
“Ugh...can’t you just shut up?” Eliza asked
“Fine. I’ll die in my sleep.” Chloe said dramatically
“Perfect.” Eliza said, running off
“I hate you!” Chloe shouted.
“I hate you too!” Eliza shouted back
Chloe groaned and decided to sleep in a corner... somewhere... for the night.
