You think I'm Dope? [Raleigh]

[Alexis Jane Hamilton]

Man, School sure did drag, especially for this pink haired wild child. She had many other important things she could be doing with her time, but if she didn't go to her classes her grandma would cut her off, which meant no more money, and Lexi wasn't about to go back to her parents, and she wasn't really wanting to get a job just yet. So here she was stuck, at school. During the break between classes she decided to go find somewhere where she could light up a cigarette, she was jonesing big time and needed her fix as soon as possible, because if not she would probably rip someone's head off.

She looked around campus and was having a hard time finding somewhere secluded, and it didn't help that she still didn't know her way around just yet. But then she found stair way that led up to some roof tops, perfect. This was just the kind of place she was looking for. She sat down and started to rummage through her back pack for her pack of cigarettes and lighter. She pulled them out and looked down at the lighter with the smile. It was the one that Dexter had given her, she made sure she wouldn't lose this one because he gave it to her. She was always like a little kid when it came to crushes. Not to mention Lexi was prone to infatuation. Dexter would have a hard time if he ever wanted to shake her, though she was really sweet, just clingy, really really clingy.

After a few moments of her day dreaming about her most recent crush she finally came back to reality and pulled out a cigarette with her teeth, then lighted it. She took long drags, loving the burning feeling of the harsh cancer stick. She was feeling much better already. But she turned her head when she heard someone walking up the stairs. She saw a handsome dark haired man come up the stairs, he most likely had the same idea as she did. "Hey." She said with a nod of her head.

A male figure made his way down the hallways towards the staircase that would lead him to the rooftop. He was so ready for a break. The teacher he was working with was an ass, but he didn't mind that too much if it meant that he would get done with his senior year and be able to teach wherever he wanted. Plus, this teacher let him use the dark room whenever he wanted. Luckily, Raleigh got a small break between classes as he touched the pack of smokes in his pants pocket.

Nicotine had become a vice for him when the stress of school had gotten to be too much. He had really liked the way that it felt to have the cancer stick in his fingers though most of the time he didn't even light them. Maybe he liked the control it gave him that he could light it or he couldn't, it was completely up to him. Usually, he was alone up on the roof. When he walked up opening the door, he was surprised to see a bright-colored hair beauty there also partaking in a cigarette.

A smile came to his lips as she said hey. He turned around to make sure that she was talking to him. Raleigh was still dressed in his dress shirt and this time a pair of dark color jeans that still looked nice on him. A part of him couldn't wait to change, but he really did like the way a tie looked on him. "Hey, I didn't think anyone would be up here. I'm usually alone in my smoking habit. Bad for your health and all that."

Taking one out of the pack, he lit one up watching the end light up red as he inhaled feeling it already relax his tense nerves. The young man guessed it was a good thing that he had wandered up to the roof to see the beautiful girl that was up here hiding away from the world.

The skinny colorful haired vixen ran a hand through her bleach damaged hair as she blew the smoke out of her mouth. She slightly looked at the dark haired man that was speaking. He kind of smirked as he said something along of the lines that cigarettes were bad for you and what not. Lexi had done numerous things that could probably kill a person much faster than Cigarette's could. Not to mention the fact that she had put herself in dangerous situations all the way to California. Hoping into cars with strangers, just hoping that you don't happen to get in the car with a serial killer or some other psychopath that might tie you up in his basement. She really got lucky, but living the way she did made her very street smart.

"Nah man, you're not alone." She said as she turned her body towards him and smiled. "Yeahh well I do a lot of things that are bad for my health, what's another nail in the coffin?" She said with a smirk. Then she decided to be polite and introduce herself. "I'm Lexi by the way..." She said as she extended her hand to him. "And you are?" She asked with a small smile.

She figured that she'd try to make friends here at school, after all so far she was a bit of a loner since she really had no idea who to sit with or to talk to. There were a lot of kids who weren't really the crowd she was looking to hang out with, or would even let her into their circle. A lot of nerds who actually cared about school, or random rich kids who were about to be models or artists. This was way different from high school that was for sure, being a rebel wild child didn't get you cool points anymore, it got you being an outcast which she wasn't used to.

Raleigh wondered what had passed through the girl's mind when he had mentioned smoking was bad for her health. He had never really cared what people thought of his smoking habit. It wasn't that big of a deal for him. He was going to die one day anyway why not speed up the process? Taking a drag from his cigarette, he smirked liking how the girl thought before moving closer to her. He leaned on the ledge of the building not really caring how far up it was.

When he heard her name, he knew that she was going to become an obsession. Blonde, even through the dye job, and she was beautiful. The rebellious nature that seemed to be lurking under the surface did nothing but make him want her even more. "I'm Raleigh." Had he seen her before? He was sure that he would have known if they met before. Lexi, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Cheesy lines were above him as he tried to hold on to his composure.

"Have I seen you around the school before? I don't think I have, but who knows? Big school so many faces and names to learn." He chuckled ashing off the side of the roof not caring who could be passing by at that moment. His cigarette hung out the side of his mouth as he tried to figure her out just by watching her movements. That's what he was good at. He enjoyed observing people and their actions. Plus, he could simply observe without having to make contact which was sometimes difficult for him with his past.

She wondered why this guy was so interested in talking to her. Lexi honestly thought that this man looked like a square, most 'normal' kids around campus tried to stay away from her as much as possible. Well this guy wasn't necessarily a kid, he looked a lot older than her. Possibly around Dex's age, maybe a little older. He was handsome, but he didn't have any of the qualities she was looking for, well none that she saw yet anyways.

"Hmm...That's a rather interesting name." She said before she took another drag from her cigarette. "Nice to meet you, Raleigh." She said with a small smile as she looked his way. "Heh. Probably not, I actually just started here, well I have only been in this city for a few weeks actually." She explained to him. "Wait...Actually I take that back, I think I've seen you in my class before. I'm taking freshman photography or whatever it's called, aren't you like a teachers assistant or something?" She asked as she tilted her head. Her cigarette was now out and she flicked it off the building but only to light another one, and light it with her special lighter. The little rainbow girl had been a chain smoker since she was about fourteen years old, there was no doubt that her lungs were black by now.

"Man, collage is so much different than what I thought it would be." She told him with a sigh as she looked out over the campus. She wondered what the hell was she actually doing in California, she really had no plan now. She was only eighteen and very far away from her home and her parents. Now that she was finally free she had never felt so alone in her life. But surely there was something out there for her, somewhere she belonged.

By the way she was looking at him, he could have probably guessed what she was thinking about. Why was this square guy in a tie talking to her? Raleigh enjoyed people. He loved being around them even if he felt awkward and uncomfortable around pretty women. It's what pressed him harder to be social around the college. It just so happened that Lexi was the only one around though he was enjoying her rainbow hair even if he wouldn't have normally gone after her. So many girls in the school that he was interested in. It just didn't make sense not to talk to at least one of them.

"Thanks, it's the name I was born with. Lexi is a pretty name. I imagine it's short for something." When she started talking about the photography class, he suddenly remembered seeing her. He had always been bad with faces when there was always so many to remember. "Yes! Of course, I thought I saw your face before. I'm student teaching for the semester hoping for a good recommendation and all that." Raleigh watched her flick the cigarette off the building with a smirk on his lips. This girl definitely was something else.

He was curious about her, and he wanted to learn everything that he could. "Well, how are you liking California and the campus? Are the kids playing nicely?" He flicked his cigarette away before frowning at her words. "Did you think it would be like high school? You know my freshman year I thought the same thing. Then it was like a bus hit me. Everything was different. I could be whoever I wanted to be and no one could tell me differently. You should try it, Lexi, you might like it." Raleigh started to walk away with a grin on his face wondering if she would call him back or just let him leave. If he did leave, he could always watch her in class and see where she went in her free time. He was growing bored of the girls he saw everyday...he needed new girls to watch and fawn over.
