12 years old
Alyx walked down the long dirt road, she came to a bus stop and sat on the metal bench. After a few moments of waiting for her bus a tall boy came from the tree line. He walked over to Alyx and sat beside her.
"Hey there girlie! waiting for the bus?" he asked. He was about 18 years old, had dark blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He had a strong southern drawl and a crazy smirk.
Alyx didn't answer. Before her mom died, she always told her to ignore strangers. Since then she always did what she used to tell her.
"Common girlie! Answer your pal, names Merle" He lifted his hand and stuck it out to her. She nodded her head and ignored the hand.
"Girlie you better answer me before I have to kick your teeth in." He growled.
She sighed heavily and lifted her hand to interlock with his. With one shake she twisted his wrist and pushed it back.
"Ow! bitch! why'd ya do that?" He shouted.
"Alyx" she replied
"What did you say?" he confusedly asked.
"Alyx is the girl that broke your fucking wrist!" she spat. Merle laughed before taking a seat next to her. He rested his arm across her shoulder, which she gladly shook off.
"Your a feisty one. You're a little young for me though. How old are ya? 8? 9?" He asked. Alyx scoffed. she always did look younger that she was. It was probably from never getting fed or taken care of right.
"I'm 12 asshole" she replied nudging him with her elbow.
"Ooo! I got a baby brother a little older then you, why don't ya meet him?" he asked. If this boy was anything like Merle she wouldn't be interested. But having at least one friend would be nice.
"No thanks " Alyx calmly said. Merle chuckled and nodded his head.
"Okay girlie, he's a pussy anyway, why you out here all by yourself, ain't ya gotta a mom or dad?"
Alyx had to think before answering this question. The thought of her parents made tears form in her eyes but she held them back, she was good at that, she had practice. Letting out a huge breath she replied, "Don't got a mom no more, Dads at the shop" she slightly lied. The first part was true but her dad didn't leave for his job until 12, it was currently 8.
Merle pushed out his bottom lip and nodded, he understood what she really meant. Hell, he's been through the same thing.
"I get it girlie, my old mans a dick too". Hearing that from some one else, that they go through the same problems as her, Alyx slightly smiled. The conversation ended after that, and neither of them minded.
A few minutes passed and the bus pulled up to the stop. Merle helped Alyx onto the bus before climbing on afterword. She sat right behind the bus driver, Merle sat all the way in the back with his older friends.
"AYYEE!!! MERLE!!" they shouted and slapped his back. They all laughed and engaged in conversation.
Alyx wondered what it was like to have friends. She got lost in thought, thinking of all the possibilities. She was brought out of the phase when one of the older boys, Merle's friend, sat next to her. He had shaggy black hair and emerald eyes. There were small metal rings in his lip and eyebrow.
When he sat down he looked her up and down and said
"Hey there, names drake." he had a British accent and he look troublesome. He looked I at her dark eyes and smiled.
"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he asked. Wow cliche much? Alyx scoffed and answered how her sarcastic self would.
"No, but it did hurt when I clawed through the earths crust escaping from hell". A bunch of the other kids in the bus, burst with laughter. Alyx gave them a proud look. Drake looked at her again, but this time it wasn't with pity, it was with hatred. He leaned in really close to her, she could smell the sickly sweet scent of his cologne.
"You listen here, you may be a little girl but that won't stop me from ruining your life he growled. He spat on her shoes and smirked. Alyx wasn't fazed by his behavior, she's dealt with much worse.
"You listen here, you may be older then me but that won't stop me from ruining your life" she growled back. Drake looked astonished, but that look was soon replaced with a look of wanted revenge.
Drake shooed the other kids away and Alyx took note in that. The bus was spilt in half, drake and Alyx in one side and the rest of the kids in the other, including Merle. Alyx hoped that if things got to out of hand, he would back her up.
Drake placed a hand on her upper thigh and squeezed. It wasn't a sexual or friendly squeeze, it was one that could make your muscles sore. She bit back her whimper and gave him a stern look. He smiled and brought his hand up her thigh, up her waist, up her sides and to her neck. Once it was at her neck he started to attempt to choke her. She acted to fast for him to comprehend. She stomped on his toe, kneed him in the groin and elbowed him in the face. He bent over in pain and screeched as she punched him off the seat and tumbling down the bus isle. A couple of the older girls started clapping and cheering things like "yeah new girl!" and "you go girl!". She smirked proudly.
Merle howled with laughter while he joined her in her seat.
"Didn't know ye had it in yah" he blurted out. Her smirk almost turned to a smile, almost.
"If someone botha's yah again I wou' tell yah to tell me but it looks like ya can handl' it." he said, looking deep into my eyes. "See yah lata" girlie" he said when the bus slowed to a halt.
Alyx was the first off the bus but the last to find her class. she finally made it to her 9th grade class when the bell rang. she was very young for her grade, she skipped a few. Her dad said she wasn't worthy, but she proved him wrong. She didn't know where to sit so she awkwardly stood in the corner. She was nervous the other kids would see her scars or bruises. She pulled down her selves and readjusted her jacket.
"Hello! you must be the new student! What's your name, sweetie?" The teacher asked. She was tall and thin. She had strawberry blonde hair and yellow glasses. The glasses made her ocean blue eyes gargantuan.
"A-Alyx... J-Jo-Johns" she stuttered.
"Well Alyx, welcome to West Brook High School! The only available seat is over there" she pointed to a seat in the way back corner. she slowly walked over to her seat and sat down.
In front of her was a pretty girl. She had brown hair and hazel eyes. Her skin was clear and she was wearing all baby blue. The boy next to her had light brown hair that stuck up in all directions. He was turned away from her at the moment so she couldn't see his face. He had a plaid, sleeveless shirt and dark jeans on. she wondered why he didn't have sleeves.
Probably a redneck
After hours not paying attention it was finally of not time for lunch. The bell rung and all the kids swarmed out of the classroom. She was last out. Before she made it to the cafeteria a familiar face stopped her from entering the large room.
"I told you I would ruin your life" He growled. It was Drake. Alyx wasn't afraid. She didn't feel scared, she felt the adrenaline course through her veins. She's dealt with douche bags like him, what's one more? She was going to fight back, and win.
She stole a phrase she read out of a book. "If your gonna ruin it, I'm going out with a bang, not a whimper" she snarled.
(Authors note) I got that from 'double crossbow' by songbirdie
His green eyes filled with anger and disgust. He threw a punch and it hit Alyx in the jaw. It didn't faze her though, she simply turned her head to the side and cracked her neck. When she turned back to face him his features filled with surprise and mostly. fear.
Good
she jumped off her right leg and used her left leg to nail him in the gut. He bent over in pain and groaned. She then used her elbow to hit him on the back and he face planted in the ground. While he was on the ground she kicked him in the side. He groaned again and reached to clutch his side.
"I told you, I would return the favor." she growled in his eyes before strutting towards the cafeteria.
When she first walked in all eyes turned to her. She avoided there stares and sat at the nearest table, it was empty, thank god. Right after she sat down the boy who sits next to her in class walked over.
"You're in my seat" he hissed.
"I don't see your name on it" Alyx hissed back. The boy sighed and sat across from her. Alyx was stubborn, so was the boy, but Alyx won.
"I don't wanna sit with you" he said with his head in his hands.
Being Alyx she replied Ias sarcastic and sassy as she
"Oh no, should I get you a blanket? Rub your feet? You wanna cookie? is that what you want?" she asked sarcastically. The boy looked into her light blue eyes and sighed again.
"Whatever" he mumbled. Alyx looked back up at him and caught his features. He had the prettiest blue eyes she's ever seen. He had squinted eyes, like he was always glaring.
"Alyx" she said sticking out her hand. The boy looked at her hand, then her face, then her hand.
"Daryl"
