Alice Jones

"See you tomorrow then?" Kyle asks me as we're leaving the school building. I nod and smile.

I've learned some things about Kyle today. He's a great student and if you don't know him he kinda looks like a nerd. It was my first thought when he turned around to face me earlier this morning.

He gives off these good boy vibes every mother would fall for when you introduce your boyfriend to your parents.

I really like him, he helped me when I struggled in class earlier, introduced me to some of our classmates and made sure I'm alright.

He seems like he's a really good friend and he told me he's the captain of the soccer team where he's probably doing a great job as well.

I haven't really told him anything about me except for the fact that my favorite color is blue, I prefer summer over winter and that my favorite food is tacos and burgers.

I don't want to tell him about my life before I moved to Boston. I have to start my perfect life here.

I'll continue having good grades and work hard to graduate well.

Boston is really pretty. I like the city and the nature here and of course the people. They all seem really nice.

"Oh, by the way. Do you want to meet my friends some time?" Kyle asks me, fixing his glasses on his small nose. "Sure, I'd love to." I smile and he seems excited as he hears my answer.

"Great." He smiles, his smile is addicting and I start smiling too. "I'll introduce you to them as soon as the opportunity comes. See you tomorrow!" He waves and leaves.

I see my cousin's car from afar and walk towards it but then I see that blonde girl from earlier leaning against the car, chatting with Brian.

She's laughing and playing with her hair, definitely checking him out.

I clear my throat and they both turn their attention to me.

"There you are. You took long. Hop in." Brian says, chewing on his gum to look cool in front of her even though he actually looks like a cow chewing on grass.

"Bye,Brian." She grins, walking away. "She's gorgeous." I look at him. "She's a bitch." Brian looks at me like I cursed him out.

"Kyle said she is and to be honest she looks like one." He scoffs. "You definitely have no taste."

He clenches his jaw, definitely thinking about the fact that I just called Madeline a bitch. I actually have no right to do so because I don't know her yet. I'm calling someone a bitch even though I haven't even talked to her properly.

"I'll not pick you up from school anymore. You can walk." He starts the engine of the car and drives off.

"Don't cry like a baby when she dumps you." He keeps his eyes on the road. "She won't. One date won't hurt." I laugh. "Keep me updated."

As we arrive home and enter the house I can smell the delicious smell of food. Susen makes the most delicious food. At family events she always brought the best food and I loved when she invited us over to eat at her place.

"I hope you guys are hungry." She says with a smile on her lips, coming towards us.

She really reminds me of my mom. I mean she's her sister but even the way she acts is almost the same. Always happy and lovingly.

I miss my mom and I'm sad my dad doesn't care about me.

I mean I can take care of myself even if I didn't move in with my aunt. I would've handled living on my own since I probably have to do it one day anyway but I'm glad she wants to take care of me.

"How was your first day, Alice?" She says, taking my hand and leading me to the table where the delicious smelling food is already set on the table. I sit down at the table.

"It was good. I meet a nice boy who showed me around in school and helped me out a little." I smiled. Brian raises his eyebrow. "A boy? What's his name?" His mom rolls her eyes at him.

"Kyle. He's a nice guy." I smile, sitting down at the table with the others.

"It's great you already found some friends." Aunt Susen smiles but Brian looks like he's still thinking about something.

"What's his full name?" He asks, licking his lip.

"Kyle Adams. Why?" He slams his hand on the table. "He's the son of your principal." I don't really know what to say but it's kinda obvious, they have the same last name.

"She ones brought him with her when she teached our class. Green eyes, blonde hair, right?" I nod. "He's such a nerd." Bria snorts, leaning back into his chair.

"He kinda is." I shrug. "But I am too." I add.

"His mom was flexing with how he skipped a class because he's better than the others for his age. She did even teach us something in that lesson. She just talked about her son." So maybe Kyle skipped more than one class...

He looks younger than the other guys in my class and that's something I noticed but didn't really pay attention to. But after mentioning it, it all fits together.

And I thought I could be better than him.

"Me and the boys always made jokes about him. I even remember seeing him in the hallway once." Brian smiles to himself, remembering the old times.

"He's really nice. He showed me around today. Don't be to mean." I cross my arms.

"Maybe he changed. You don't know him that well yet. Do you?" I scoff, starting to eat the food which isn't that warm anymore because we talked for too long.

After we ate my cousin went out with his friends.

"Are the boys in your class good looking? Anyone you think is really attractive?" Susen asks curiously, sipping her coffee.

"Not yet. Kyle is really good looking but he's not really my type." She chuckles.

"I still remember when I met your uncle. I actually hated him but we kinda feel in love."

My uncle passed away shortly before I was born. My mother loved him and told me a lot about him and so does aunt Susen.

My mom said Susen was sad for years when he passed away she even needed therapy.

I can understand how she felt. My life felt more than empty after I lost my mom.

"You get used to the pain, right?" I ask her, not looking at her, my head down and eyes on my empty plate.

"Oh honey. I miss her too. The pain will go away and you'll only remember the beautiful moments you had with her." She says, pulling me into a warm embrace.

"You're mother was the most pure soul I've ever known. She'd be so proud of you. I just know." She kisses my hair, sighing.

"I know how you feel and I'm trying everything to make you feel happy."

Shouldn't my dad be the one who's taking me into his arms, comforting me?

I don't even know where my dad is right now. After I moved in here I never heard from him again. I actually don't even want to know where he is right now.

"I think I'll get used to it." I sigh. "I really like it here and I'm feeling comfortable. Thank you for helping me." I add and pull her into a hug.

She chuckles, she's so close to me I can smell her rose perfume.

"You're tough Alice, and you'll learn how to deal with it."

When I hug Susen I'm imagining my mom. It feels like I'm close to her.

I break the hug after a while and look at her.

"I'll go into my room." She studies my features, searching if I'm uncomfortable and then nods.

"Hey loser." Brian comes in, sitting on my bed.

"You're lucky I was done changing." He snorts.

"I've seen you naked so many times when you were a baby." His eyes travel down my body.

He then slumps backwards onto my bed

"I'm not a baby anymore, I have boobs now." I sit next to him.

"You're attitude hasn't changed a bit though."

"What do you want." I ask him. He looks at the ceiling and sighs.

"When should I meet up with Madeline? She asked me a few minutes ago." I look at him a little confused.

"When did you exchange numbers?" He lifts his head and leans on his elbow. "Before you came and ruined everything." I scoff. "Hey, I didn't ruin anything. I rescued you."

He looks at me his dark eyes piercing mine. "What do you know about her?" He sits up, his eyes never leaving mine.

My cheeks start to burn, I look down in embarrassment. "Nothing..."

He gets up. "That's what I thought. Stop judging, Jones. Night." He seems upset as he leaves my room. I sigh, running my hand through my hair.

I think it's time for me to go to bed. This was a first day with many expressions.

"Can I sit here?" A girl my age smiled at me. She has beautiful blonde curly hair, green eyes and some freckles on her rosie cheeks. She's a natural beauty, no makeup on but she still manages to look stunning.

"Yeah, I'm alone anyway." I smile.

Kyle decided to leave me alone at lunch break.

He said he wants to sit with his friends. I have no problem with it at all, sitting alone is a bit awkward tho...

"Are you new here? I've never seen you here before."

"Yeah, I am. I'm Alice Jones. I moved here recently." I smile at her.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Cassandra Stevens but my friends call me Cassie." She smiles at me, her beautiful eyes sparkling in the sunlight.

"It's nice to meet you, Cassie. I hope we'll become good friends." She laughs. "Of course we will." I like her personality.

She seems very extroverted and confident in herself which I really admire.

She would be the perfect girlfriend for the shy and innocent boys who usually ain't even that innocent in private.

As I'm talking to Cassie my heart fills with joy. I didn't imagine it to be this fun. I think we'll be really good friends. I like her.

"What brought you hear if I may ask?" I hesitate for a second but then decided not to tell her yet.

"My parents decided to move to a different city and that's why I'm here now."

"Did you get used to Boston?" I shake my head.

"I think I need some more time."

"That's fine. I'll show you around if you want. There are so many beautiful spots here." She suggest, tucking a strand of her curly hair behind her ear.

"That would be great. Maybe after school?"

"Today isn't the best timing. Maybe tomorrow?" I nod. "Great!! You won't regret it." She stands up.

"Thanks for letting me sit with you, Alice. I hope to see you again!" She waves and leaves. I eat up and leave as well.

I walk out of the building. Another school day over.

Kyle told me to wait for him and we'll go home together.

I have my first math test next week. I have to start studying for it soon. I want to keep improving my grades and I want to be a good student.

I'll only achieve these things if I study enough.

My mother always was proud of me because of my good grades and I want to keep on making her proud even though she's not with me.

It makes me want to show my dad how strong I am without him. I can do so much without him. I don't need him.

I'm doing all of this for my mother. I love her with my whole heart.

"HEY!" I scream as a motorcycle suddenly wizzed past me but when he heard me complaining, he stopped.

At first he just stared at me. I couldn't see his face as it was covered by a motorcycle helmet.

"I could've died." I say crossing my arms in front of my chest. "That's a lie and we both know." He chuckles, voice muffled by his helmet.

He then finally takes off his helmet.

He has fluffy hair drop gorgeous brown hair.

His facial features are slightly sharp, pink beautiful lips and green eyes any girl would get lost in.

He's giving off a calm vibe as he's staring at me, a tiny grin on his lips.

"Holy shit." I curse to myself. I didn't expect him to be this handsome.

"Oh,Tyler, there you are." Kyle smiles at him as he approaches me. Where has he been?

"You know him?" I ask and Kyle nods. "He's one of my friends. Tyler, this is Alice. My new classmate." He introduces me to him.

Tyler nods while eyeing me, his green eyes traveling up and down my body. "Never seen you here before. Not even in school."

"I moved here recently." I say.

"I haven't had the chance to introduce you guys to her yet." Kyle adds, shrugging.

"You definitely should introduce her to the boys. They'll like her, I'm sure." He chuckles.

"Sorry for almost killing you, Alice. I hope to see you more often soon." He smirks and puts his helmet back on, hiding his pretty face.

His motor starts to howl and he drives off.

How the fuck can a human being be this handsome...
