Alexis's pov
Oh, Rochester High. Yup, that's my school. This school means a lot to me. I have a big role in this school.
I'm a part of the student council even if I'm just a Sophomore. Though, I'm not just a nobody, no I managed to obtain control of this school. Yeah, I'm the school's president. Everyone fears me and with the right cause.
I always arrive at school well-dressed. I always make sure I have the best image and that I look good. I always come to school with the best outfits. I look perfect despite my ginger hair.
Though, I can't arrive at school with an ounce of bad hair or whatever. I can't even wear basic clothes like all the other teenagers see me. I have to be the best all the time.
Everyone fears me as soon as they see me. I own this school. I'm fashionable and I look good. I look like a strict woman even if I have yet to have 16 but I'm not that bad. I just like dominating and having control. I like being the boss of everything. I rule. Through this, I own this scary dominant energy.
Being apart of the student council makes me not well-liked because I am bossy and too strict but it's actually the opposite.
I don't have lots of friends but I know everyone and I can talk to everyone too. I'm the one that organizes and plans the big events in this school.
There's only one person that holds this power in this school and that's me, Alexis Jones.
No seriously what makes me so ambitious? Well, when I was 5 my parents moved here from Ireland. I was bullied for my accent and my ginger hair but I didn't let that get me.
Unfortunately, it made me self-cautious about my body, too even though I only wanted only perfection. Though, it didn't affect my confidence if only it made me more confident.
I knew from them on that I wanted to prove those haters wrong. So, I did everything possible to get here and I'm glad I'm here.
Beginning Freshman year, I was already well-liked. It's a surprise I managed to take the role of school's president just in my sophomore year but I did. I got elected into it. Now I'm proving those haters wrong. No one is making fun of me. Especially not when I hope to be the best.
Other than being the school's president, I surprisingly have a life, though not much.
I never date but I tend to find some other sophomores admirable. The Alexis Jones can be in love? Yes, though I tend to like the shy type. I find it cute surprisingly.
Obviously, those people don't know as I have no such reason to ask them out. Though, it doesn't stop me from admiring them from afar.
I love my role as the school's president as it's perfection, that's true but I still have a life even if I am too busy getting perfection and ruling the student council.
Gosh, people think nothing is wrong with me. Maybe they are right but if they knew the difficulties of their school president they'll shut up about it.
Yeah, I'm not perfect even if I want to be. It's just not possible and sometimes it takes a toll on me.
One of which is regulating my weight. I know I'm thin but I can't have any abnormalities. I can't be like a certain someone I know. That's horrible.
I always try to make sure I have a diet and that I don't eat such bad foods as other teenagers eat.
I indeed try too hard but I can't start gaining weight. The idea of becoming fat is just horrible. How can people possibly be ok being fat? There's no good in that. Like I can't believe half of my family is fat...What a joke.
So I make sure I maintain my weight so that doesn't happen and make sure it doesn't move in itch but that's because I want to make myself happy. I even eat less than others but that's fine, why eat more when it gets you fat?
Oh well, after a long day, I have to go back home. Before I do so, I notice someone.
Ok, I don't really care but this student is called Kilian, I think they look good looking and I'm sure they don't think so but they seem so cool.
They are with their best friend Charlie and Maverick...? Why is Maverick with them? Why is he with those two who aren't popular? It's really suspicious the way they are together. They are laughing too except Kilian, strange...
Anyways, why do I use the pronouns they and them for Kilian? It's random but last year there was this little pride event at a park that I went to because I was curious about it. Kilian was there with their friend Charlie. I was surprised to see them there but I went to say hi.
That's when I learned Kilian is non-binary. I didn't know what it was at first but I've done a lot of research over the summer. Now I know.
It's not Kilian that told me. I asked because I was curious to know why they were there. They were like the only student at our school. It's not Kilian that told me. Nope, it's Charlie. Kilian was staring at me coldly and wouldn't utter a word.
Ever since then, I can't help but look at Kilian. I already what gay and trans meant but in a way Kilian was my weakening of being aware of other gender identities.
Yeah, I seem homophobic but I'm not. In fact, I accept everyone. Last year I wanted to do something for pride month but the last school president wanted to do it.
This year though I intend to do an event for Pride Month which is in less than 3 months.
I know Rochester isn't the most LGBTQ+-friendly place but I want to change it. Even more since this Monday.
I know I'm not supposed to know this but the transfer student, Camilla is in fact trans. She didn't tell me but I was told by a teacher. It's not nice of them to disclose that but I intend to use it in a bad way.
I had the chance to give her a tour yesterday. She was nice and shy. She's cute too I'll admit but I already have my eyes on Kilian. It went well and I made sure she felt welcomed in this school.
Regardless, I'm way more LGBTQ+ aware compared to last year. I know several genders identified and multiple different sexualities. There's non-binary, trans of course, gender-fluid, agender, demi-girl, demi-boy and so much more!
It's crazy but since then I've been in awe of those individuals. I'm dying to meet those individuals who aren't cis. I know it feels like I have a crush on those people. Maybe that might be the case too.
I haven't been interested in guys and girls all that much lately. It's as if the aspect of being different and unique even draws me in.
Omg! Now I really want to find out what's my sexuality! Yes, I repeat Alexis Jones can have a love life and can have a sexuality.
Oh well, I have to come back to my usual duties.
I take my things from my locker and I walk to go outside in my fabulous heels. As soon as I head outside, I notice a figure and go to them even if I don't like them all that much.
"Took you long enough." Said person says annoyed.
"You know, you don't have to wait for me."
"I kinda have to you know? Dad can't pick us up two times." Ugh, I hate it when she says that.
"Stop saying that as if he's my dad. He'll never be my dad. He's only yours and that brother of yours."
"Not my fault my dad fell in love with your mother." She says annoyed.
"Why do you have to have music assemble after school all the time?"
"Why does that bother you? Wasn't it your goal to have everyone in school clubs?"
"Yeah, but I didn't say you had to."
"Oh come on Alexis, no matter what I do I always bother you, don't I?" She says annoyed.
"That's true cause' seeing how fat you are it's
annoying, oh and it's also annoying that your music club meeting finishes at the same time as my school duties." She rolls her eyes.
"Why does my weight bother you so much? Not everyone can be perfect like you." Ugh...why do I have to wait for her dad to come pick us up alongside her?
"Well, no one wants to see a fat girl like you perform."
"And I don't care. I can tell you don't care about my passion for music and singing."
"I would if you weren't the daughter of your fat dad of yours."
Ugh, I'm already sick of talking to her.
Yeah, the one thing I hate in my life. My family. My mom divorced my dad a year ago because she fell in love with the dad of the girl that's standing next to me.
It didn't take long before her new lover moved into our home with his two kids...
I hate my mom for it. She's bringing shame to this family. She's in love with this poor fat man. I can't understand her. Our lives were way better before she has to settle for mediocrity. My dad is so much better.
I don't get along with that man and neither do I with his kids. They are ruining my life! My mom wants me to treat them as if they are family. I'll never do that!
It's no surprise that both his kids turned out to be fat like him. Normal, they eat junk food all the time and it's disgusting. I can't believe I have to share a room with his daughter.
His daughter has the age as me, actually, she just turned 16 last month so maybe with the fact she started driving lessons I can hope for her to not bother anymore. In two weeks, I'll be turning 16 too so I'll get my driving lessons too. That's even better!
Oh gosh, just thinking about my sweet sixteen makes me think about the huge party I'll throw at my dad's, next weekend!
Anyways, I can't get too excited over that. Back on the topic of my so-called step-sister. She's a sophomore like me and is in most of my classes, unfortunately.
Oh, Grace. Yeah, her name is Grace Evans. What a joke. She has very short hair with the ends dyed magenta red. Seriously, her hair is like a guy's haircut, I wonder if she identifies as one of the other gender identities. Oh well, it's not like she'll ever tell me.
She's biracial and she has dark brown eyes. What standouts the most is the fact she's fat. She's overweight and that doesn't look good on her. Seriously instead of singing, she should consider training to lose that weight. It's bad for her health and it's disgusting how she looks.
When I first met her, I thought she would be a minimum pretty but she isn't. What a joke. She wears hoodies as well as baggy pants. She's really masculine.
Her younger brother is Nicholas Evans, he's still in middle school but that doesn't matter. He's at least better in my opinion but he's none of my concern.
The dad of hers finally arrives and I get in front, her in the back.
As soon as I notice the junk food in the car, I can't help but look in disgust. Of course, he bought food. They only eat that for their life.
"Hey, look what I bought!" He says happily.
"Good old AFK. Thanks, Dad."
"Here Alexis. I bought some for you. I know you don't like it but..."
"Exactly, I'm not hungry."
"Did you at least eat at Lunch?" He says worried.
"No, but that's none of your concern."
"Alexis! You need to eat! You can't go without food for that many hours! It's bad for you." He says really worried.
"No, I'll be fine. I'll eat yogurt once I get back home."
"I hope you're not lying. You need a bit of meat in your body! We don't want you to starve to death!" I might as well do that. No, I have my presidency to maintain.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
Ugh...that's my daily life at home.
——————-
I arrive at school and instantly head to the room where the student council holds their meetings.
"Good morning Alexis." That's Lance, my assistant. He's in his senior year.
"Morning, what is the news this morning?" I sit down in my designed chair.
"Have you heard?" One of the girls of the council says.
"Heard what? I know everything."
"Did you know one of our students won first place yesterday in figure skating?" Figure skating? We have that where we live? It's not very winter here.
"No, I wasn't aware who's that person?"
"I believe his name is Parker Watkins. He's in some of his classes. He's this Asian guy." Wow, how did I not know that?
"How come we didn't know we had such a good figure skater in this school?"
"Well, I know him a bit but he never talks about it."
"If I were him, I would boast about it," I say.
"Alexis, not everyone likes to showcase how good they are." One of the girls in our council says.
"How dare you say that?" I say coldly.
"You don't scare me Alexis by the way." That normally would piss me off but right now I'm more interested in this figure skater.
"Do we have a video of the performance of Parker?"
"Yeah, it's all over the net."
"How come no one knows about it?" I say confused.
"Others from this school don't check the news."
"How nice, anyways show me."
One of the girls show me his performance but gosh, he's so good! How can he be that good?! How can no one know the talent this guy has!? His moves are literally perfection! I have to go talk to him. He needs to be congratulated for such a performance.
"I want the entire school to know about this."
"Why? Alexis, what if he doesn't want it to be known?" One of the girls says.
"People don't care about figure skating," Lance says.
"He has Olympics potential! Everyone has to know that!"
"Fine, you want to put a message on the school's website?" Lance asks.
"Yeah and while you are on it, make sure they say it on the radio too!"
"I'll make that happen and I'll ask the principal for his permission too."
"I'll do it!"
"Ok, ok, I get it." He says annoyed.
"I'll go congratulate him myself too."
"Well, do that."
Why are they so uninterested?! They're the school's council damnit!
I leave the office and try to look around the school to try and find that Parker guy. Unfortunately, I don't find him. Ugh, of course not.
I go back to the office quickly.
"Can I know Parker Watkins's locker number?"
"Yeah, sure."
Lance searches in a document for a few instances, then stood abruptly.
"Number 31."
"Ok"
I leave the office going in the direction of locker 31 hoping to find him there. I head there and lucky me he's there with a few friends.
"Good morning, may I borrow Parker?" I smile and they turn towards me. His two friends look at me suspiciously and confused, Parker looks at me scared.
"I didn't do anything bad did I?"
"Relax, it's quite the contrary." He relaxes.
"That's a relief."
"I'll borrow him for a bit. I just have something to tell him."
"Sure please do. I'm sure he'll like that." One of his friends, I believe her make is Torrey says smirking.
"Hey!" Parker says fairly offended. I laugh.
Well, that is fun.
"See, even Alexis thinks it's funny," Torrey says.
"Not cool." Parker pouts.
Now that I think about it, he seems even more good-looking in person. He seemed handsome in that clip but now he just seems really cute and shy. Well, that's interesting.
Parker comes closer to me and I push him to move a bit farther.
"Hey, I heard about the medal you won last night. You are really phenomenal." He looks at me surprised and blushes.
"Oh, I'm flattered, I didn't think you knew." He chuckles nervously.
"Well, congrats. I saw your performance and you're really good. You have Olympics potential."
"Don't lie that much."
"I'm not lying! You have potential. Seriously, you earned that medal. Do the others know?"
"No..."
"Then, I intend for everyone to know your amazing talent."
"You don't have to do that." He says nervously.
"Yeah, I will. You need to be recognized for what you do." I smile.
Starting today, I, Alexis Jones have set my eyes on Parker Watkins, the cute Asian figure skater.
