Alexandra placed Standall's bag down on the table with a small smile and then she took the seat two seats away from him so that Zach could help him into his chair and then sit down in between them.
"Thank you" Alex Standall says to them both. Alexandra smiles and Zach nods his head
"yeah, no problem man," Zach says, clearly happy to help. He pulls out his sandwich from his pocket and begins to open it up before Jess storms into the room with a jumpy attitude
"what are you guys doing right now, do you want to ditch with me?" she asks, talking to her ex boyfriend
"Definitely, is everything okay?" Alex says, more than happy to get out of this shit hole. He stands up, throwing his bag over his shoulder with a semi-excited look on his face
"yeah totally, I just really need to get out of here," Jessica tells him and then looks between Alex and Zach while she waits for them to see if they want to tag along too.
"Guys, I cannot skip this class" Zach says and Alexandra couldn't help but feel proud of him. After their little chat about his grades earlier she could see that Zach had finally woken back up again and realised how much he had been falling behind lately and how that was going to affect him greatly in the future
"Me neither, sorry guys" Alex says and gives them a sympathetic look. Jess lets out a
sigh, rolling her eyes slightly, clearly looking forward to the four of them ditching schools.
"Seriously? Zach, Lex, we need you!" Jess whines frustratedly
"You need my car," Zach says. Lexi snorts in laughter, knowing that he was more than likely right.
"Both!" Jessica says and tries to defend it though the look on her face said it all. All of them new she just really needed his car "Look, if we can't have you, can we maybe..."
"okay but only if Jess drives" Zach mumbles and pulls his keys out of his pocket before he leans over and hands them to Jessica
"Its an automatic, my right foot works" Alex whines, wanting nothing more in this moment than to just drive Zachs car. Alex just smirks while Zach glares at him and Jessica takes the keys with a grin
"Jess drives" Zach says sternly
"Thanks Zachy" Jess grins and Alexandra raises her eyebrows at the nickname, she had never heard Jess call him that in her whole lifetime, only Alex had called him that. Clearly, she wasn't the only one to have thought it was weird. Zach looked confused to but he didn't say anything and just nodded his head softly.
They said their goodbyes and then the two of them make their way out of the classroom while Zach and Alex stay back to do their work
"So what's going on there Dempsey?" Alex says with raised eyebrows. Zach looks at her in confusion, though he was pretty sure that he knew what she was talking about.
"what do you mean?" He asks and furrowed his eyebrows
"between you and Davis" Alex grins but he shakes his head, he definitely didn't see Jess in any other way than a friend.
"Nothing, I couldn't do that to Justin and I don't like her like that anyway, besides I still have my eye on someone else," He mumbles the last part and looks away from her. She instantly felt guilt flow through her body and she wanted to apologise immediately, but she was worried that she would only make it worse or mess up on what she was going to say, and she didn't even know what to say
Zach finally speaks up to break the uncomfortable silence "I put another Polaroid in Clays locker this morning, I don't think he has seen it yet"
Alex nods her head and looks down at her desk before she begins to fiddle with her fingers
"We need to do this Zachy, we have to get justice for Hannah and Jessica and all of the other girls that he has hurt, we need to make Chloe realise what kind of guy he really is"
"I know, Clays is good at making a scene, so hopefully this shouldn't take too long" he mumbles back at her and gives her a small smile which she returns, nodding her head softly
----------------
Alex and Scott walk down the corridor side by side as they make their way to Montgomery's locker. Scott was looking down at his Biology textbook, trying to get in some last minutes study for the test while Alex was trying her best to explain the differences between phenotypes and genotypes and multiple other different things but it was like all of the things she was saying to him was going in one ear and out the other.
However, this didn't stop her as she kept trying to help him anyway, she had helped Jeff with his studying as well as the rest of her friends but for some reason, Scott reminded her a lot of Jeff than anyone else, she didn't know what it was, maybe it was his fair, kind and excepting nature or just his presence, maybe it was even just the absolute love for baseball.
"okay so th-" Scott starts to restate what she had told him but then suddenly someone turns around the corner and bumps into them and the text book along with the other books in the two Jocks hands fell and hit the floor
"shit shit I'm sorry I'm so sorry" Clay said in a panicky voice as he bent down to the ground and quickly rushed to pick up all of the stuff. Scott and Alex leant down too and began to pick up the books as well
"hey man its cool" Scott says
"It's fine Clay, don't worry about it," Alex says at the same time quickly nodding her head in agreeance as she looks over at clay and says "hey clay, it isn't a problem don't even worry about it, it was an accident, no big deal"
"sorry" Clay apologises again and hands the books over to scott who kindly accepts them. The two jocks look at the boy in worry as they notice how skittish and apologetic he was being
"are you okay?" Scott asks Clay, making Clay stop dead in his tracks. Clay gives him a confused yet dirty and judgemental look as Scotts words ring through his ears and the three of them slowly begin to stand back up again. Scott begins to feel uncomfortable under clays glare, which Alex immediately picked up on.
"I'm fine, why?" Clay asks accusingly as he looks over at Scott
Scott stutters for a moment, not knowing what to say but then finally he points up to his eyebrow, signally that he was talking about the small cut on his eyebrow along with the other bruises on his face and body and then he says "You don't look so good"
"What do you know about it" Clay asks again, clearly accusing the boy of having something to do with what had happened to him
"come on Clay, seriously, he was just checking to make sure that you were okay, he is just worried about you," Alex says softly to the boy and goes to place her hand on the side of his arm reassuringly but clay shrugged it off and glared over at Scott
"no. I want to know what he knows about it" Clay grumbles out and continues to glare over at Scott
Scott exhales loudly in awkwardness before saying "Just that you don't look so good. Just look out for yourself." Alex could tell that Scott really meant it, though Clay, clearly didn't believe a word of it.
Out of all of the baseball boys, Scott was definitely the nicest though she wouldn't admit that in front of her boyfriend or Zach but she knew that the other two boys definitely had their reasons for being like that and Scott was just able to deal with it a little bit better.
Scott and Alex go to walk off but Alex stays back for a moment to whisper something to Clay and she makes sure that nobody could hear her. "Scott is one of the good ones Clay, there is a lot going on that you think you know about but you don't, a lot of the boys have done a lot of fucked up things and you know exactly what I am talking about but listen to me when I tell you this... Scott Reed is one of the most decent guys at our School, Jeff trusted him, and so do I"
