Dalex Highschool AU (Denis X Alex)

Chapter 1

"Hey NERD." the bully said, pushing Alex into the locker. He ignored the bully, and attempted to put his stuff into his locker and get ready for class. "Don't ignore me. I need your lunch money." the bully said, grabbing him by his shirt collar. "I don't have any." Alex responded calmly, adjusting his glasses. He had been through years of bullying; he was used to jerks telling him to give them his money. He eventually resorted to bringing his lunch from home.

The bully gave him a dirty look and told Alex, "Meet me out back at the end of the day." before starting to walk away. He turned back around and said, "Or else." then walked away. Alex scoffed and walked to math class. He didn't have any intention of looking for a fight with someone twice as tall as him, but that still didn't mean that he felt threatened by him. He was desensitized by the bullying.

He caught up to Denis and Corl, and walked the rest of the way to class with them, talking with his friends and having fun. He felt safe when with them, especially with Denis. He waved goodbye to Corl as he and Denis headed to their first class. "I heard some jerk pushed you into the lockers this morning, you alright?" Denis asked him, sitting next to him as they waited for the teacher to show up. "Yeah, I'm fine. He didn't push that hard. Just a few battle scars, also known as a bruise or two." Alex joked, smiling at his friend. Denis chuckled, and stated, "Well, as long as you aren't too hurt. Otherwise, I could have kicked his butt for you, and I still can, just tell me." Alex laughed, "Alright, I will." They stopped talking when the teacher walked into the room.

It was the end of the day, and Alex waved goodbye to his friends as he started walking home. The same bully from that morning walked up to him and shoved him onto the ground. "You didn't meet me at the back, Nerd." he spat. Alex got up and brushed the dirt off of him. "Leave me alone," he said, starting to walk away, "I have to go home." The bully grabbed him by the shirt, stopping Alex from leaving. "I'm not done with you, dork." He spun Alex around and raised his fist, ready for impact before his friends called him. "We'll finish this tomorrow." he said angrily. Alex was relieved that he didn't get punched, but he was scared of what was to come. He sighed and made his way home, he'd think about this later.

(A.N: Sorry for the sentence fragments, that's just how I write. It'll look way too formal and dorky if I fix the fragments.)
