Alezander enjoyed coffee more than ever ever since he got sober. It helped him mover away from the alcohol and all in all made him more lively. It was like his secret weapon against the riots of anxiety and depression he often suffered. Coffee and Achilles kept him going strong, and that's all he really needed. At least that's what he thought.

Alezander had just had his usual cigarette and was already feeling the nicotine buzz coming on, it was mixing strangely with the caffeine. He still had to go take care of Achilles and feed him dinner. Not that he minded, he just was wondering how he was going to pay for the boarding when his ass of a father stopped paying for it. He didn't wanna give up Achilles, but he feared that unless he got a job he was screwed.

Alezander lifted his head as heard giggling to his left. A couple of girls were sitting at the table next to him, giggling and looking at him. He found it quite annoying. He didn't find himself attractive, and I'm sure that if they really knew him, they wouldn't either. He glared at them through the corner of his eye, before continuing on with his coffee.

Ever thrummed her fingers against the soft leather steering wheel, her oddly-colored eyes scanning the road for a parking spot. Ah, the cafe, she felt welcome there. She flicked her turn signal on and turned into the parking lot, seeing a space right up front. She smoothly parked the car and opened the door, stepping out onto the pavement. She closed the car door with a click and brushed the blonde hair out of her face. A light wind played at her hair, and blew the bottom of her tee around. She quickly stepped inside and her nose scrunched up, the smell of smoke lingering in the air. She had heard giggling, yet it had stopped, and all the girls stared at her like she was a freak. Ever cringed and turned away, her eyes darting to another senior like her, the only other open table was next to his, and she walked over, placing her jacket over a chair.

Ever walked up to the counter, examining the menu, the smells of baked goods reaching her nose and she smiled.'May I hep you?' the lady behind the counter asked. Ever scanned the menu one more time, "Can I get a medium coffee with cream and sugar please?" Another staff member walked out and placed fresh scones for sell, "Oh, and one of your scones too, please," the clerk rang up her order and handed her a scone before busying herself with the coffee. Ever leaned against the counter, her eyes darting to the girls who turned away and started whispering. Ever sighed and turned back to the clerk, grabbing her coffee. She walked back to her table and sat down, ripping a piece of scone off and popping it into her mouth. Delicious buttery flakes consumed her and she took a sip of coffee, leaning back in her chair. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out of her pocket. Hey, hows it goin? Her friend, Haven. Ever rolled her eyes and typed back: Good. What about you? Ever placed the phone on the table and took another bite of scone, her eyes glancing at the boy again, she vaguely recognized him, seeing him once at the stables. Her eyes fell upon her coffee as she took another sip.

Alezander tapped his lighter against the wood table as he searched the job section of the newspaper. He lifted his head when he heard the sound of the door to the cafe’ open. A pretty blonde girl entered the shop, he looked at her for a moment before returning to his job search, taking a sip from his coffee. There were so many girl in this city. And nine times out of ten they were up to no good. All the girls he went to highschool with were all whores and filled with bad attitudes. They were always trying to get with Alezander, he never understood why. He was such an ass to them, he figured that they’d want to leave him alone. But they always wanted to be with the bad boy.

Speaking of high school whores, they were sitting at that table giggling and laughing at the new girl. Alezander rolled his eyes, that sound was so obnoxious he couldn’t even stand it. He lifted his head as he watched one of the girls approach the new girl. It was Lizzie, a girl who though of herself as the queen bee, she was all fake everything about her. Lizzie sat across from the new girl, smiling as fake as every.

“Hey you must be new here, so I’ll tell you something. Unless you get the proper close and learn how to put your make-up on, you shouldn’t be looking at guys that are out of your league, kay sweet heart?” Lizzie said, with all her friends laughing and giggling behind her.

Alezander frowned and rolled his eyes. He knew Lizzie had this bizarre notion that she owned him, or was in charge of his matchmaking. They weren’t even friends. They had hooked up once at party when he was drunk. He used to be so popular when he drank, now that he was sober he fell through the cracks. He looked sadly at new girl, Lizzie was such a jerk, it wasn’t even fair.

Ever took another sip of her coffee and raised her head as she heard footsteps approaching her. A girl with caked on make-up, shirt that hung wayyyyyyyy to low and the shortest mini-skirt ever was walked toward her, flashing her too-white of teeth. She pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. 'Hey you must be new here, so I’ll tell you something. Unless you get the proper close and learn how to put your make-up on, you shouldn’t be looking at guys that are out of your league, kay sweet heart?' Ever narrowed her oddly-colored eyes, annoyed. All she wore was mascara and a small amount of eyeliner on the bottom, her cheeks naturally pink and freckles running across her nose and tops of her cheeks. "Learn how to put my make-up on? You should really take a look in the mirror. You must be as ugly as hell without your 10-pounds of makeup. I'm not interested in a relationship with you, thankyou, go find yourself a different girl to mack on." A smirk played across Ever's lips, she was being a total bitch to the girl, yet she didn't care. Calling her Homo? Yep. The girl narrowed her eyes, and the other girls across the room fell quiet, dumbfounded.

The girl stared at her, her eyes stones, and suddenly struck her, making Ever sprawl backwards. She stood up, and vicious smirk upon her damned face. She pushed her chair in and walked back to her friends. Ever cradled her face, stinging. She heard the girls high-pitched laugh, and the others following in pursuit. They walked forward, pulling there phones out and snapping photos taunting her. 'Aw, the poor baby can't even stand up.' 'Better call her momma, oh, and even her daddy! I bet she just loooovveessss her dad!' 'Someone better watch out, her words hurtttt worse then this.' Ever clutched her torso, mention of her parents bringing her over the edge. She couldn't stop the hot tears that ran down her face and the others laughed harder, taking more pictures and teasing her. Ever curled up against the wall. No. Not here. Not now. Mention of her parents almost always brought tears, and breakdowns. Ever covered her face and pulled herself up. The other girls stared at her, smirking. Her hands shook, she wanted to strike them. Strike them all out. One hit each would do.

Alezander watched in shock as fight broke out between the two girls. He knew Lizzie was an ass but he didn't think she would get into an all out fight. Girl fights were always way more fierce than guy fights. Always way more personal too. He couldn't believe what had just went down.

He stood from his chair, as the new girl stood their shaking at the the other girls taunts. God he hated the girls in this town sometimes. They were unusally cruel, and jealous today, something he couldn't stand anymore. Alezander stepped between the girls and said, "Look you guys, Back the f*** off alright? Who do you think you are? Grow up and get a life. There's too many asses in his world for you guys to be sticking around. Now. Get. Out."

Alezander watched as the girls left, scared of the wrath of Alezander. They had seen him fight before, and frankly, they were such whores that if a guy told them to jump of a bridge they would. Alezander turned too the new girl and looked at her sadly.

"Hey, you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" he asked her seriously, walking to her side.

Ever was about to strike when the guy jumped up, coming between them. 'Look you guys, Back the f*** off alright? Who do you think you are? Grow up and get a life. There's too many asses in his world for you guys to be sticking around. Now. Get. Out.' His harsh words were directed at the other girls, and Ever cringed slightly, his words ringing in her ears. The other girls glared at Ever and backed out of the cafe, flicking their hair and prancing out. Ever sagged against the wall, exhausted.

'Hey, you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?' His words. Ever flinched, afraid he was going to flip out on her, but hearing the calm in his voice, she relaxed and watched him as he walked over and he put his arm around her torso, supporting her. Surprise flashed through her face, and she shifted, unsure what to do. "Yeah, I'll be good. Just a powerful slap that was," she said, glancing at him, "Oh, no, I'm good. My aunt would freak if she learned I took a trip to the clinic." As much as Ever loved Sabine, with her teen books she could be a little protective.

Ever stood there awkwardly, his arm still around her, and she could smell his musky scent, mixed with smoke. She cringed, a smoker. She couldn't stand them, smoke grossed her out, yet she acted like she didn't care.

"Alright, if your sure," Alezander said looking at the girl for moment, to make sure she was alright for himself. Usually he wouldn't really give a crap about a situation like this, but she seemed really bothered by what the other girls had been taunting her. Of course that wasn't any of his business, everyone had their demons even him. Especially him.

ALezander noticed the ever so subtle nose cringe of her's, other people always had the same reaction when they smelt the smoke on him, he rollled his eyes. It wasn't like he was the only smoker in the world, and it wasn't his fault he couldn't quite. He was tired of being judged for a habit, but no one ever seemed to look past it.

He let go of the girl and offered his hand to shake, "I'm Alezander Ashburn, your new here, huh? Well if you need anything...here."

He reached into his jean pockets and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. He bent down on the table and quickly scribbled his phone number, [phone], on it. He handed it to her and said, "I"m sorry you had to run into those girls. Apparently, I've been owned for quite sometime and I just haven't realized it."

'Alright, if your sure., he said glancing at her, and Ever nodded. He watched her, glancing at her nose as she cringed, and rolled his eyes. She suddenly felt bad, he had seen that. She felt as if she could melt and be there no more. 'I'm Alezander Ashburn, your new here, huh? Well if you need anything...here.' He said, pulling away and offering his hand, which she grasped awkwardly and shook before he pulled out writing materials. He handed her the small slip of paper. (788)-539-7854. She quickly pulled out her phone and tapped the numbers into it. She stuffed it back into her pocket and smiled. "Ever, Evermore Bloom." She said, writing her number, (788)-693-4940, on the back of his, and handing it back.

'I'm sorry you had to run into those girls. Apparently, I've been owned for quite sometime and I just haven't realized it.' What was he saying? That he liked her? That she liked him? That she had been 'checking him out'? She took a small step back and looked up into his green eyes. "Oh, no, I-" she didn't know what to say, it's not that she didn't like him, it was just... "Thank you, for sticking up for me. I shouldn't of said that to her anyways." Ever said instead, smiling. Her phone buzzed and she silently cursed, drawing her eyes away from his to look at the message. It was her friend again, asking why she hadn't respond. She would have the explain it aallllll later. She stuffed the phone in her back pocket. She walked over and picked her chair up, pushing it in and grabbing her coffee. He sat down at his table and she awkwardly sat down too, giving him a small smile. She sipped her coffee and pulled her legs to her chest, hugging them. She sat like this often, and and watched him curiously, taking in his slender form, dark hair and tanned skin. She smiled again, and sipped her coffee, running her fingers around the lid, unsure of what to say/

"I wasn't saying you were checking me out," Alezander said slowly with a chuckle, "But they thought you did. Like I said, I'm apparently owned."

He didn't want to make Ever feel awkward but it must of just happened. He wasn't usually this nice to people. Maybe he just felt bad that she had gotten harassed for no apparent reason. He hated when things like that happened to people. He got beat on by his dad for no reason so maybe it was branching from that feeling of helplessness and lack of control.

Alezander took the piece of paper back and smiled slightly. He had sold his cellphone to put down money on Achilles board. He figured he didn't need at anymore. Now that he wasnt the big party guy, no one ever called him. Who was he gonna talk to? Whores like Lizzie? Not likely. Maybe he'd talk to this girl. She seemed normal enough to him.

"Don't thank me, any decent person would've done the same thing they're just shitty people," Alezander said with a smile, "No one deserves to be treated like that."

He took a sip of his coffee and asked her, "so where are you from?"

[paddeh]

I wasn't saying you were checking me out, but they thought you did. Like I said, I'm apparently owned.' He said, laughing slightly. Ever grinned, nodding, "Ahh, well, they seem very... nice," Ever said, sarcasm following the 'nice'. She leaned back against her chair, watching him curiously, her oddly colored eyes darting from his face to her coffee and back again.

He took the slip of paper, looking slightly hesitant. He gave her a small smile and sat down, tapping his fingers on the hard wood table. 'Don't thank me, any decent person would've done the same thing they're just shitty people... no one deserves to be treated like that,' He said, giving her another smile. She flushed slightly and grinned back, thought her blush was covered up by her already-pink cheeks. "I have to agree, they are pretty mean." Ever said, shrugging her shoulders slightly.

'So, where are you from?' His words. Casual, relaxed, small talk. Ever's heart picked up, memories flashing before her eyes she busied herself by taking a long sip from her coffee. Oh, why did he have to ask that question? Her throat constricted and she glanced to the side, tears prickling at the back of her eyes, and she forced them away. "Oh, uh.. Eugene. Eugene, Oregon." She said, forcing herself to not stutter. She tried to smile, and it was not like her other grin, just a quick flash. "What about you?" She asked, brushing the hair out of her eyes. Her phone buzzed again and she pulled it out, annoyed. Hey, seriously. Text me back! What's going on?! Her friend again. Ever glanced at the message and responded as fast as she could, trying to not be rude, I'll tell you later. She glanced back up at Alez, giving him a quick smile and waiting for his response.

"Oregon? I heard it's pretty up there," Alezander said smiling at her. He could tell that something had bothered her about where she was from, but that was none of his business. "I was born and raised here pretty much. Not really all that exciting."

Yet again, Alezander was shocked by his own kind nature right now. He hadn't been this nice for ages. Usually he was a bit of an ass to people, but withe Ever because she was hiding something, she wouldn't bother to prod him if he was hiding something. That was the nice thing about running into secretive people, they new the value of a secret better than anyone else ever could.

"Besides the unusual welcome, do you like it here?" he asked her smiling. She was pretty that's for sure, but she wouldn't like him. The real him. That he was sure of.

"It's pretty interesting town if you like horses," he said with a laugh, "Other than that your kinda on your own for entertainment."

Alezander sighed as he started feeling his usual after coffee craving starting again. He didn't want to ditch ever for a stupid cigarette, he hoped he could just ignore it but his hand was already becoming jittery. Served him right for starting to smoke at 12.

'Oregon? I heard it's pretty up there,' he said, smiling at her. Ever nodded, "It's very green in Eugene, Oregon is really cool, I mean, there was all the rainy green citys, and then like the desert, hot and dry type citys." she said, giving him a small smile. 'I was born and raised here pretty much. Not really all that exciting,' he said, gazing at her. Ever nodded, "This is a neat little town though." She noticed how he held back something also, she could tell, as she had done. So he had a secret too? It was nice to know she wasn't the only. Well, she already knew that, but to witness it was nice.

'Besides the unusual welcome, do you like it here?' He asked, smiling again. "Yeah, like I said, it's a nice little town, this will be interesting to get used to," Ever said, a small laugh bubbling from her lips. 'It's pretty interesting town if you like horses, other than that your kinda on your own for entertainment,' he said, and Ever's face lit up, "I love horses! I've always had one, but, I've never really seen in for sale that were a reasonable price." She said, money was not tight, but she wasn't going to pay thousands for one horse. He sighed, making Ever look up curiously. "Is something wrong?" She asked, hoping she wasn't annoying him. She took in his muscular form, his dark full hair and tanned skin, and grinned slightly, he wasn't a bad person, and defiantly cute. Handsome, even.. Though, Ever was an outcast to everyone, no one seemed to really like her. She missed having a ton of friends she could go out and have fun with. Alez was really nice though, and she noticed how his hand jittered ever-so-slightly. Ever could notice such small things, and she tried to pretend like she didn't notice, just hoping she wasn't boring him or anything of the sort.

Alezander couldn't help but smile as Ever said she loved horses. He did too and so did just about everyone else in Oaks Down. His mind went to Achilles, the horse that was so much like him that it wasn;t even funny but he knew that if it wasn't for that horse he didn;t know where he would be.

"I adopted my horse from the humane society for about a hundred dollars," he said smiling, "There are always horse looking for a good home there. What's expensive is paying for boarding...which something I just seem to have trouble affording."

Alezander wished he had all the money he need to take care of Achilles, but that never seemed to be an option and it killed him that he couldn't. He looked at Ever, she was really pretty. Very bright blonde hair and blue eyes, she seemed incredibly nice too. Which is something that he had trouble being himself. But yet again his mind was clouded by that desire to smoke. He really needed to quite.

"Yeah Everythings fine, I'm going to have to run though, I have to go feed Achilles for the night," he said smiling, "But give me a call and we can go riding together sometimes?"

'I adopted my horse from the humane society for about a hundred dollars,' Alezander said, smiling. 'There are always horse looking for a good home there. What's expensive is paying for boarding...which something I just seem to have trouble affording.' He said, sighing slightly. Ever nodded, understanding how expensive they could be to care for. "Yeah, I'll probably go stop by and do that soon. I understand, when I was in Eugene-" Ever paused slightly, realizing what she was saying, "-When I was in Eugene I went to a riding barn, and I mainly cared for this one horse Anniston, including fees, and it was quite hard." She finished, her voice twinged slightly with sadness.

Ever noticed him pause and look at her, and she flushed, looking away shyly. 'Yeah Everythings fine, I'm going to have to run though, I have to go feed Achilles for the night. Give me a call and we can go riding together sometimes?' Ever glanced out the windows, seeing the sun almost done setting. "Oh wow, didn't realize how late it was." She looked into his eyes, grinning, "Yeah, defiantly! Sounds fun!" She said, smiling, twidling with the hem of her tee. She stood up, pushing her chair in as he did. She walked out the door with Alez. "Well, I hope to see ya around soon! It was nice to meet someone new." Ever said, smiling. She walked to her car, climbing in and glancing in the rear-view mirror before driving off. She looked at her phone, knowing she could just tell her friend tomorrow at school, what was one day anyways...?
