jekyll and hyde » ella & alex
For a lot of people, high school was the worst time of their life. But for Alex, it was his prime. Sure, he didn’t have the best grades, and his behaviour had earned his grandparents a few angry calls from the principal. But he was generally well-liked, he excelled at sport, and he’d even managed to charm his way out of a good proportion of the detentions he should have had.
Walking down the hallway with his classic varsity jacket, he gave out a selective few nods to those that he’d consider friends. Then, he spotted a familiar girl stood by her locker. With a quick glance over his shoulder (the football team would never let him live down talking to a girl who wasn’t a cheerleader), he made a beeline for her.
The two had met when they’d both moved to the islands at around the same time. She was his first friend on Leuda, and they’d been through (what they had left of) elementary school as best friends. Since starting high school, though, they’d started to drift. The two didn’t really have the same interests; Alex was into sport, Ella was more into music. But he couldn’t just walk past her as if he didn’t know her when his friends weren’t there to stop him!
