A story filled with secrets, fighting and romance. A take on a classic story of 'girl meets boy' with added twists, turns and dysfunctional friendships which all fall into place from the very beginning. Will she run from all the chaos or will she st...
My name is Alyssa West. I'm 17 years old and I go to school at a place called Lakewood High. It's the vain of my life. Me and my best friend Ivy have known each other since we were 3 years old when our familes started to become friends and since that day we've been inseperable ever since.
I start my day like any other:
Wake up. Shower. Get dressed for school and left at exactly 8:35am. I decided to wear a simple casual outfit

It takes around 25 minutes to get to 'Lakewood High' and the same coming back if I didn't stop off anywhere or have to stay behind after class. Well today, today was different. I had just left 4th period and my next class was study hall with Miss Weber. I got there it was empty, Miss Weber had left early for personal reasons but I'm still allowed to be in the classroom as long as I don't do anything stupid to get myself in trouble.
Around 20 minutes had passed and Jade noticed someone who was walking around the corridor, more specifically repeatedly past the window of the classroom she was in. At first I thought it was some other teacher or a student going somewhere but when I looked up I found my eyes being drawn to the mysterious boy who stood peering at me through the window. The glare from the natural sunlight that shone brightly through the windows was making it very difficult for me to see exactly who it was. The figure began to move towards the door and eventually it dawned on me, who the mysterious person was. It was no other than Axe Cortez.

Axe Cortez just so happened to be part of the biggest Gang in the US. But how did he get into Lakewood High and what the hell was he doing standing looking at me. There are not many people who are brave enough to actually lock eyes with him without being severely intimidated or in the worst case if they look at him funny. They end up dead. It also doesn't help that he has an extremely fierce and bitter personality and his multiple tattoos making him look just that much more scary. The ink upon his arms had been intricately drawn with so much detail showing that each held a different meaning. But I just couldn't help but be intrigued by him. I don't know what drew me in more his countless tattos that lay effortlessly upon his flawless skin or his eyes. WOW his eyes. That was enough to make my stomach do flips and heart beat fast. After a short moment of essentially checking him out, I decided to smile at him warmly to show that I was friendly and wasn't looking for trouble.
Axe on the other hand clearly had other plans. It wasn't long before he started to walk slowly towards me each stride filled with confidence but to my own surprise I almost sensed that he did this to reassure himself that if he kept this tough bad boy act up it might make him feel more confident in himself. Despite the fact that I had no doubt been over-analysing the situation, I was soon snapped out of my thoughts when a deep voice echoed in the room."Hey, I couldn't help but notice you were sat in here all on your own, and I couldn't leave a beautiful girl like you alone own now could I. So what do you say you scoot over and I can keep ya company?" His voice had a slight hint of hope to it at the same time. Whilst Axe stood in front of me his eyes fixed being solely on me, patiently waiting for my response.
Before I knew it I found myself replying almost instantly "Hey, ok but I must warn you I am in the middle of studying for a bio test i've got next period with Mr Benson so sorry if i'm not much fun right now, he said he'll know off we've not studied enough for this." His eyes did the all talking, he didn't have to say anything for me to know what he was thinking. But at the same time as wanting to be friendly, I just couldn't shake off that feeling in the pit of my stomach. Why was he here and why is he talking to me. Plucking up all the courage I have in me I thought I would ask him "Hey, erm Axe. Can I ask you a question, what are you doing here. Just seems strange that someone like you is here talking to someone like me". What he said to me next will forerver make my heart skip a beat. "Well you see baby girl, I've been watching you for a while now and decided now would be the right time to tell you you're mine. Mine only."
