Follow The Leader

Alex looked at Teddy, he knew that people could find the story far fetched, but nevertheless, it was the truth. He had no reason to lie, he could say it for people to feel bad for him, or to impress people. But Alex didn't really care what people thought, and did NOT need anyone's pity. So none of that was a lie, he didn't even want to tell anyone, not about his brothers death either, that's why he didn't tell anything to anyone, and wore his heart on his sleeve., but after deducing Teddy, he thought maybe she could be one of the people to understand Alex. But he was wrong, good thing he hadn't told her about his brother.

The girl then girl had told Alex that he was full of 'Sh!t', and decided to walk away. Alex lost it inside himself, and he wasn't going to lose this battle. "Those are very strong words, coming from an amateur like you." Alex said, realizing this was way out of character, but felt good to not keep his emotions bottled up, just like it had felt good after he told Rhys that he wanted nothing to do with her anymore, but now felt bad that she was dead. "I mean really, you're a Ravenclaw, you couldn't even make me 'a puny hufflepuff'-" Alex said, and when he said the 'puny hufflepuff' he did a bad imitation of her voice, "look dumb, seriously, aren't you guys the smartest, and you couldn't even make me look dumb?" Alex asked.

"You're supposed to be like me, a detective or something, but at least I try to get my facts straight, before you EVER call me that, talk with someone who knows more about me than you do, I don't like it when people like you judge me, a arrogant poser." Alex said, "So, if you want to know if my story is true or not, I have a sister in Ravenclaw, Candy, go ask her." Alex said, happy that he didn't yell like a lunatic, then he took off toward the wall, using parkour to get up, then jumping off to the other side, and going into Hogwarts.

His persistent self importance might have been amusing to Teddy if it were not irritating, and if it were not she that was under the torrent of it. Where he got off thinking himself so important to deserve her undivided, devoted attention, she had no idea. She knew his words were meant to spur her into a spiral of curiosity, running off to Candy to verify, but all of her interest had been dashed. She did not have the desire to know anything more of the snooty Hufflepuff.

He kept it up, even though she was pretty far. Her mood was elevating, being so far from him, so she turned and with a huge smile said, "Hate to break it to you, babe- but I don't care." She grinned and ducked into the castle, out of his sight and earshot. She had to admit- that zinger made her feel cool.
