"Lex." Nathan aknowledged me as we stood infront of my door.

He had walked me home after we spent the day at the fun fair that was open, officially this time.

"What is it Nat?" I asked.

He looked a tad uncomfortable, but I wouldn't have know if I hadn't known him so long.

It was dark out, and stars had already started to become visible in the saturday night sky.

He just stared at me: his brownish black eyes in a daze.

It was starting to creep me out.

"Nat? Helloooo?" I waved my hand infront of his face to pull him out of his daze.

He didn't even blink.

"Oi! Quit staring at me like a friggin paedophile!" I hit him hard on the chest.

"How would you know what a paedophile would stare at you like?!" He responded, finally coming out of his daze.

"I know that they would look creepy! And that's what you looked like!" I retorted.

He sighed and began to talk in a calmer voice. "Lex... I've know you for a long time..."

"Yeah... I know. I do have my memories back you know." I chuckled nervously.

I didn't know where this conversation was going.

He chuckled with me and then his eyes lit up with an idea. He went into is bag and pulled out a small box.

"So, there's no way I'm gonna give you back your ring. It's really nasty looking now so I couldn't bring myself to give it to you... so take this instead." He pulled out a small box and opened it.

Inside was a silver ring. It was plain, with one single small white crystal in the middle.

As he took it out of the box I noticed it was attached to a chain, and he put the ring necklace around my neck.

"Now we both have one." He smiled as he pulled out a similar ring necklace. His ring had a black crystal in the middle instead of my white one.

"When did you get that necklace?" I asked him.

However as soon as I asked a sharp pain shot through my head again.

I didn't have all of my memories back at once, but now they started to trickle in one after the other.

The ring... was my grandfather's.

My grandfather had given Nat the ring as a wedding present, however Nat and I were too busy making a fuss of our candy rings to see the significance.

I looked back down towards the ring Nat had just given me.

"You... gave me your Grandma's ring..." I whispered.

"Lex. I love you." He smiled, bringing me into a kiss...

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

I turned over to turn off my alarm clock. I'd been awake for hours already, but now I had to get out of bed.

I dragged myself out of my bed and began to get ready for school.

It was 6:50 when I snuck downstairs to make some toast for breakfast. Five minutes later I was walking... no, stealthily creeping down my read with roast in my mouth and an Apple in my hand.

It's never too early to go to school...

It was 7:05 as I walked into the building, I went to the bathroom and looked at my state. I literally got dressed in the dark this morning so that I wouldn't wake anybody up.

I looked pretty normal, a few buttons in my white school shirt were done up the wrong way, but apart from that I looked fine.

As I fixed my buttons, my eyes landed on my chest and stared at the ring dangling from it, in a chain, in the mirror.

I was so focused on it that my heart nearly shot out of my chest when my phone rang.

I smoothed down my grey skirt, pulled my phone out of my black backpack and looked at the caller ID.

Nathan....
Ignore.

I looked at myself one more time in the mirror and then left the bathroom.

I walked back into the classroom and took my seat. I read my book untill my phone went off again at 8am.

Kendra. We called her Kenz for short now.

"..."
"Hello? Lexi... are you there?" She asked.

"Kenz, Who's with you right now?" I whispered.

"It's just me, Jae, Emy and Alex." She replied.

Jake was dubbed Jae over his time with us.

"Where's Nathan?" I asked, suspicious of her answer.

Nathan was always at my house, especially at 8am on a school day.

"He just left your house. He said he was going to find you. Where are you?" She asked.

"I'm at school." I replied.

"Oh... Lexi left without us" she notified everybody around her. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had some extra things to do so I came in early." I replied.

"Okay then... I'll see you at school." She replied.

We said out goodbyes but I could tell that she didn't believe me when I said I was okay.

The school day began.

Ever since we came back to school in January, Nathan and I still had most lessons together, but now we didn't have maths or P.E.

And lukily for me, that was the lesson before lunch and the last lesson we had, every day.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

It was the end of the school day and I was stood by my locker in fear.

There was a direct line between Nathan and I.

Eveybody knew he was coming to me so they moved to the side.

Any other day I would have been fine with that, I mean, we were best friends now...

But after yesterday...

I just couldn't face him anymore.

It's not just because he force kissed me...
It's because a small part of me liked it.

I didn't want to be anywhere near him after that.

But here he was, walking towards me, an apologetic look on his face.

"Lex-"

"Don't come anywhere near me!" I interrupted him.

He continued to walk towards me; closing the gap between us.

"I said stop! Don't make me use that on you!" I threatned.

He knew I meant mind controll.

"Lex... you can't use that because you've been using it all day to keep me away from you. Not even you can keep at it. You can barely stand up strait as it is." He replied in a worried tone.

He was right. I couldn't muster enough power to keep him away anymore.

He was almost able to touch me now.

"Stay away!" I screamed.

He touched my arm...

Slap!

The sound echoed throughout the now silent hallway as spectators stated at us.

My hand even stung a bit as the force of my slap caused Nathan to take a step back.

"Don't touch me." I growled.

I fled from school and attempted to run home, stumbling every so often due to fatigue, shutting myself in my room when I got there.

I couldn't face him right now...
I was too embarrassed...
