Orientation [T L L]
Lexi Greene 09.03.10
 
I walked toward the gathering. There were girls every where. Some were in packs, some standing alone. I looked to my right as Rosie took in the sight too. We had decided to get coffee before school started just to take some of the nerves away. She and I had grown up together and I was happy that I had someone to do this with.
I remembered that I had a form about the honors program that I needed to turn in quick before school began. I told Rosie to wait there and I'd be back quick.
I walked into the office and handed the lady my paper and smiled. I turned around and... "Oomph." I fell to the floor with a thud.
"Oi, I'm sorry" I said quickly.
"I'm sorry!" another voice said at the same time. And a hand shot down in front of me.
I grabbed it and stood up.
"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't of stood so close. I'm Erik by the way." He held out his hand again.
I raised an eyebrow and took it. "Lexi. Lexi Greene."
"Again. Sorry." He added.
"It's fine, don't worry, no blood no foul." I stepped around him and toward the door.
I heard something as I was leaving but I thought it was probably just the crowd outside.
I walked towards where I was standing. But no Rosie.
I looked around and I finally caught a glimpse. She was talking to Ashley. Who I had also known mostly my whole life through our mothers.
I decided to walk over and begin the year. "Just jump right in" as my mom had said this morning. So. Here goes nothing.

Hello Again [T L L]
Lexi Faris 8.30.10
 
-Name: Alexa "Lexi" Greene Faris
-Age: 16
-Style: Whatever looks good in her closet in the morning (I don't really have a style I just find something I think is cute!!)
-Relationship status: Single and ready to mingle
-Sports you are in: Volleyball, gymnastics, dance
-Character Bio:
Lexi is the reincarnation of her mother. Her dad's a rehab physician which mean she won't touch drugs or alcohol. She's smart with the highest grades in the class. But she's also extremely nice and gets along with pretty much anyone. She's athletic and very active in the community, which charity and volunteerism. There's one more thing that makes her so like her mother, don't get in her bad side, because Lexi Faris's grudges are like hell on Earth.
-Look-alike: Lucy Hale (if she's too disney I'll change her.)
 
I stepped out of the car and Tyler slid out after me. I looked up at the school and sighed. Another school year was to begin. I still had some registering today and so did Tyler so we stopped by. Dad stepped out of the passenger seat and told the driver to wait in the parking lot.
I walked up the steps to the registration building for THSFG and THSFB. My dad went ahead to take care of things. I looked over and saw the wall of the Class Of... pictures and I walked over. There were everything from black and white pictures to shiny new ones from the previous year.
I scanned the pictures until I found the one I wanted. I looked at the row of girls standing there. It was hard to believe that everyone in my class this year is most likely related to someone in this picture. I saw my mom standing next to my godmother Anna. I also saw a few people that I had seen here and there. There was Arizona, she was a close friend of my mothers as well. And April, close to my mother but my mom was closer to her husband and Dad was also practically brothers with him.
"Lexi. Let's go." Tyler whined from the door.
I hadn't realized how much time had passed. I looked up at the picture and smirked. I wonder what this year had in store. Would it be anything like what my mom went through? No it definitely would be much better. I was determined to see it through.
 
(sorry for the craptastic set. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Ditto to the story. I'm so excited for this! I really hope we can keep it up. And my stories should get a bit better once I know more about the characters. Yay!)
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions [N O P E I]

I put my pencil down and let out a sigh of relief. The test turned out to be harder than I thought but I think I got it all. I looked around at my fellow Nightingales. Some were sweating and some were already finished.
I stood up with my paper and handed it to the teacher at the front of the room and sat back down. I pulled out my current read: a Jodi Picoult book and slouched down with it. And went into another world.
The bell finally rung and I stood up.
"Ughhhh" Bri came up and put her head on my shoulder jokingly.
We all walked toward the place and met up with the guys along the way. I intertwined hands with Felix and talked to him about his test.
Yesterday after my meeting with Ms. Masterson I decided to tell him about the school in NYC. And he totally supported me 100%. But of course we didn't talk about the most important thing. Him and I, what would happen?
I just didn't want to think about it and as the thought approached my mind I pulled myself closer to Felix.
I had so many decisions to make and I didn't know what to think about anymore. My head was starting to hurt. And then I felt it, those damn tears.
My hand shot up to my mouth to hold in a sob. Felix looked at me.
"What's wr....." but I turned around quickly and walked into the alley to our right. Luckily we were toward the back of the crowd.
"I'm sorry." I said to him through the tears.
"What's wrong babe?" He put his hands on both of cheeks.
"It's just overwhelming. All of it." I said as I sobbed harder. I put my face into his chest.
He hugged me tight.
"I'm so sorry." It was all I could say.

I sat on the couch with Felix. He was helping me study for my English exam tomorrow. I knew I had it all down but knowing me I had to over study for everything. Just triple check to make sure I got it down.
He read from the book as I answered but I was really concentrated on his palm which lay in my hands. I was tracing the lines. Trying to figure out what psychics see, I mean I didn't believe in that stuff. If it couldn't be proven then I didn't believe it. But lately I've been thinking about things a little bit more than usual. With Jaymee's announcement, everything was changing.
And there was something I wasn't telling anyone. My academics were extremely important to me, well they still are but friends have become my number one priority here. But I was just offered a full ride scholarship to this elite private school back home in New York, plus an internship.
It was a provocative offer, which I was planning on turning down.
But while I was back home I was able to visit before I left. It really had everything I could ever want. But it lacked two things.
1. The Nightingales
2. Felix
So much was running through my mind and Felix knew something was up. As I looked up at him to answer the next question Ms. Masterson stuck her head in the rooom.
"Elisha could I speak with you quick?" She popped back out and I heard her head into her office.
My stomach dropped. Was I in trouble? What did she know?
"Lishe you okay? You just went pale white?" He put his hand up to my cheek.
"Yeah, I just wonder what she wants?" I said calmly.
I kissed him on the cheek quick and walked out towards her office.
Did she know about the school in New York?
What was going on?
I walked in.
"Please close the door, Elisha."

Heather's Try-Outs [N O P E I]

I walked in to the auditorium holding Felix's hand. I wanted to support Jaymee so I decided I would audition for the Heathers play. Although I had never heard of the movie, I caught up with the synopsis online and decided to try out for Heather Chandler.
I knew I would probably not get the part because my voice still wasn't completely back, although I think it would be back by the opening of the show. But I was going to give it my all. I had done a few plays back in middle school, but that was it.
Felix sat halfway back in the theater and kissed me on the cheek. "Good luck." He whispered.
"Thanks" I croaked back.
I walked up to the judges table and handed them my audition form. I took the script we were given a couple of days early out of my bag and walked up to the stage.
"Hi my name is Elisha Kelley." I tried to clear my voice, but no such luck.
"I'm sorry about my voice, I just got over a something. But its getting better. I'm here to audition for the part of Heather Chandler." I told them.
They nodded and the guy in the middle held up a hand for me to know to begin.
So I read through my part, concentrating on keeping my voice clear. I felt I had done pretty good, but I didn't really know.
When I was done they thanked me and said I would hear back soon.
I walked down the stairs at the side of the stage and Felix stood up and waited for me.
"You were great babe." He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the theater.

I had always wanted to dress like this for a "secret mission." And it definitely caused some giggles among Bri and Jay.
We had determined that we had every right to know what was going on with the Knights and Craig. Felix had hinted about this meeting and I let Jaymee know, she found out that it was true and we wanted in. But it was a "closed door" meeting among the Knights.
So we're going to do what we do best.
Sneak.

I sat on my bed facing Carr on her own bed. We had been talking about everything. I had felt awful that she had postponed the wedding because I knew it was partially because of me.
I was going to do everything that I could to help her with the event now that I was back. I missed her so much, and I wanted to be there for her now.
 
I also got caught up with the happenings of the Nightingales. The pictures Craig revealed. There was a picture of Matthew and I. It was from when I first started here. I would hope it wouldn't get out. We're still not sure who it was taken by, but it was slipped under both of our doors the day after. Matthew and I are good friends, nothing more. But I hadn't been able to find Jordana to talk to her about this.
I explained everything to Felix and he believed me. Thank god for that because I would hate if he were ever angry with me.
I feel like I've been thrown into a pool of drama, unexpectedly. But when you're a Nightingale you should expect nothing less.

(Hey Guys! So I've been extremely busy with work and college visits and such. So I have barely been on Polyvore. But I should be back, hopefully, so here's Elisha's cover story)
 
I stepped through the front door of the house. A couple things here and there had changed. I set my suitcase down on the floor as Briony walked into the foyer.
"Lishe!" She came over and gave me hug.
"Hey Bri!" I said, my voice was still hoarse. I had been gone for about a couple weeks after being sick just to find out I had Scarlet Fever.
I went home to New York to get better. It was mostly doctor visit after doctor visit, but it also felt good just to get away.
But I saw it on Bri's face when I looked at her. Something was going down. Something big. And I needed to be filled in, but not right now.
I headed back up to my room. No Carr. But I knew I would catch up with her soon.
I put my stuff away and grabbed my phone. I hadn't told anyone I was on my way back. Not even the one person it actually hurt to think about: Felix.
 
I headed down the back stairwell, I was trying to avoid as many people as I could, I didn't want to make a big deal out of this, especially with something going on. I needed to be filled in, I needed to know what was going on.
 
I walked up the front of the Knight's house. I texted Parker, asking him to tell Felix to head down to the front porch, but not to tell him why.
Parker agreed and I sat down on the porch swing. My throat still ached slightly, and my voice was definitely not fulling back. But the doctor okayed me to come back to school. And i needed school, I thrived off this place. I was the Brain after all.
 
I heard the door open and I looked over to see the person I missed the most. More than missing school itself.
"Lishe!" He ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me, lifting me up.
"Hey" I croaked.
"Oh man, are you still sick?" He looked concerned.
"Nope, just still don't have my voice back." I said.
He put his hands on my cheeks and then pulled me up into a long kiss.
"I missed you. So much" I said to him.
"You have no idea" He said.
 
It was nice to be back. But I was lost. Something big happened while I was gone. I had gotten a couple texts here and there, but nothing revealing. I had to find Jaymee I knew she would fill me in.
