October 12th, 1925

Alexander sat in the back of the classroom as he played with his pencil and disregarded what was happening around him. He started over at a piece of paper that fell onto the floor as his thoughts started to take over.

it was the year 1918, it was a hot sunny day in california. alexander walked into the small school as he held onto his new Buzz Lightyear backpack. he walked into the very small classroom that only held up to about 30 little kids, he said hello to his teacher before making his way to the back of the classroom and sat down at his small desk.

Alexander pulled out his notebook just as the teacher started talking, he took notes as he continued to glance up at the teacher once in awhile. he doodled on a spare piece of paper he found on the floor, he puffed out his small lips and glanced over at a girl who seemed to be at least a year younger than him. the girl looked back at alexander with her eyebrows knitted together causing alexander to look away as his cheeks started to heat up.

Alexander felt on his shoulder which caused him turn around, he immediately regretted it once he saw who it was. "what do you want, Beast?"

"just wanted to see how my favorite nerd was doing?" Beast shoved Alexander's shoulder gently and smiled innocently as he shrugged his shoulders. Alexander rolled his eyes and closed his notebook, "tais-toi, je ne suis pas un nerd." Beast stared at Alexander blankly and gulped thickly, "Ms. Potter, Alexander just spoke another language. i think he's an alien."

alexander let out a frustrated sigh as he shook his head, "je ne suis pas un étranger, imbécile."

Beast stared at Alexander and frowned deeply, "stop! stop it! speak English! you are in America!" Alexander rolled his eyes as he kept rambling in french.

"Alexander Black! that is enough! apologize to Beast right now." Ms. Potter stated with her arms crossed over her chest as she narrowed her eyebrows down at the small boy.

Alexander looked up at her suddenly feeling quite smaller than he did a few minutes ago, he stayed quiet and slowly turned back towards Beast as mutters a soft 'sorry.'

after a while, the class sat in silence as they all did their own little thing as they did their own little thing.

"recess! grab your jackets, it's quite chilling right now." Ms. Potter stated as she stood outside of the classroom and counted all the kids one by one as they ran out of the door.

Alexander was the last one out of the door as he dragged his feet against the pavement and let out a soft sigh. he sat on the floor and looked at the students playing around, his eyes scanning over everyone one. his eyes stopped on a certain girl, a younger girl. a smaller girl with long brown hair that stopped right at her shoulders and her skin was pretty tan but not extremely dark.

Alexander kept his attention on the girl as he saw Beast and his best friend, Thorn went up to her. they laughed coldly as they kept moving in closer and making side comments. Alexander frowned at the scene as he saw how scared the poor girl looked and it frustrated him how nobody was doing anything to help her. not even ms. potter, teachers were suppose to protect right?

Alexander's eyes widened once he saw Thorn pushed the girl down to the ground and he ran over to them, he shoved Thorn and glared at the two boys. "what is your problem?! go pick on someone your own size." he stood in front of the girl and narrowed his eyebrows at the two boys.

Thorn rolled his eyes and gently pulled Beast away by his hand, "lets go, B. we can't get in trouble again." he glanced at Ms. Potter and noticed she wasn't looking in their direction. Beast huffed angrily and glared at the boy, "watch yourself, Black."

Alexander watched as the two boys went off to some other part of the park before turning around and slowly sat down next to her, "hey.. does something hurt?"

the girl slowly nodded and pointed over to elbow and frowned deeply, "my elbow.. i-i think i got some little pebbles stuck in it."

alexander nods slowly and gently grabs the girl's arm looking over her elbow, "i see it. this might hurt." he whispers softly and takes a deep breath, "my name is Alexander, what's yours?" he asked as he starts to pull out the pebbles that found their way inside of her elbow.

the girl winced softly as she looked up at him, "m-my name is juliet."

Alexander was shaken out of his thoughts when he felt a pair of hands grab his shoulder gently. he turned around and met a pair of brown eyes, "lola.. you uh, you scared me." he shakes his head softly and stood up throwing his backpack over his shoulder as he walked out of the classroom with lola.

they walked around the campus heading towards the next class which they had together. Lola walked closer to Alexander and brushed her small hands against his, "look, i'm sorry. for i dunno, being touchy, i guess." Alexander stopped walking as he turned around to face Lola and furrowed his eyebrows, "your sorry? am i hearing you right?"

lola rolled her eyes with a soft smile on her lips, "yeah, yeah. don't get used to it, Black." she let out a soft laugh and looked up at him, "but seriously, i'm sorry. i should've respected the fact that your dating Juliet and i do." she smiled small and placed her hands on his chest, "but what's the harm in one little kiss. one last kiss."

alexander sighed softly and grabs her waist as he moves closer, "one last kiss." Lola smiled up at him as she stood up on her tippy toes as she gently placed her lips on top of his. Alexander slowly kisses her back and places his hand on her cheek gently.

they thought this was one little harmless kiss but what they didn't know was that Juliet was watching them right behind a bush with her jaw clenched and her blood beginning to boil at the scene that was playing right in front of her.
