It had been a long day. Lex pulled his school bag higher onto his muscular shoulders and strolled along the eroded footpaths to the entrance hall. It was tough, having O.W.L.S, adults trying to cram careers down your throats when you know exactly 'Where you're going to be in 10 years time'. With his free hand, the one not holding onto his school bag, Lex swept his fringe out of his eyes as it, as always, landed upon his left eye.
Frustrated, Lex just stopped. He needed to have time to think and just let time catch up with him for a moment. Instead of the pathways leading to the school, Lex found a tree growing close to the front of the building: perfect. He made his way to it, dropping his bag at the foot of the tree and was rolling up his sleeves, getting ready to jump up when:
"Alex! Alex!" came a voice from far away, down by the gates. Lex closed his eyes, his muscles tense. That had not just been...please, someone tell him that that voice had not been the voice of... Lex turned round and groaned, of course it had to be. How could his life not be getting any worse for, her to come and turn up.
"Alex! How did you know I was coming? You came to meet me! You're so sweet! It was meant to be a surprise, but you're just too clever sometimes." She said in a high, excited voice. It had been ages since she had seen Alex. He still looked as amazing as ever with his tall, strong, muscular figure and his sweeping fringe that covered his grey-green eyes. He was frowning though, maybe he hadn't known about her visit. So then it had been a surprise, brilliant.
Lydia jumped up and hugged his steel frame, even though she was long, tall and thin herself her height didn't compare to Alex's. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, acting like a real girlfriend would. She modelled a light green cardigan and tight, skinny jeans along with matching green dolly shoes. Her blonde hair shimmered in the light and her blue eyes sparkled with happiness at seeing Alex once again.
"Wh-What are you doing here?" He asked directly but with a soft tone, not brittle as he would have done if it were anyone else. He wanted to groan again when he saw her suitcase, so she intended on staying, and for quite a while to with the size of that thing.
"I came to meet you silly! We haven't seen each other in so long and you woudn't answer by letter so my parents arranged it that I stay here with you for a week. Isn't this great?" She said merrily, linking her arms with Alex as they made their way to the shade of the tree. Her long hair bounced with her as she walked.
"A week?" Lex croaked, astonished yet not at the same time that her parents would allow her to miss a week of school like that. "You didn't have to come all the way from France just to see me..." He muttered, clear signs radiating that he didn't really want her here, but she wasn't seeing any of them. It was only once he had realised that she had come from France that her next words showed a hint of a French accent.
"Don't worry, it's all been taken care of! Now we have the whole week to spend together!" She replied, ignoring his muttering tone. Her smile was wide, flashing all her white teeth as she practically pushed Alex to sit on the floor and sat down right next to him after placing her suitcase with his school bag.
