* Note story take place doing season four when Alex was in the eleven grades. She Never breaks up with Jay.

Alex has her hands in her jean pockets as she walks up to the front steps of Degrassi community school. She knows that Mr. Simpson is going to be mad at her for being late for first hour home room, but she does not care. Alex slow walks up the steps and into the school build. The way time wishes she had just let her mom call her into school sick, but she was not sick and she did not want her mom to lie for her. She knows that other students and Teacher would ask her why she has bruises on her arms and two black eyes, but being asking question about the bruise was better then have to stay home all day laying in bed listen to Chad (her mom’s boyfriends) sleeping his hangover off. She gets to the M.I. lab and take her hands out of her jean pockets and open up the classroom door and heads into the room. Mr. Simpson looks up at Alex when she walks into the room.

Mr. Simpson: Miss. Nunez you are late, classes started a half hour ago!
Alex: Sorry, I did not get to sleep to really late and I must have forgot to set my alarm clock because it never went off and I over sleep.
Mr. Simpson: That the three times this week and it only Wednesday.
Alex: I know I will be on time the rest of the week.
Mr. Simpson: Take your sunglass off Miss. Nunez and start work on your homework.
Alex: I cannot I have a migraine from not get enough sleep and the light really hurt my eyes.
Mr. Simpson: Fine, but go take your seat next to Jay and start doing any homework you need to finish.

Alex walks to the last line of computers and set down in the seat next to Jay. He looks his girlfriend over and knows from the bruises that are up and down both her arms. That Chad used her as his punch bag last night. Jay put his left arm around Alex and she lays her head on his left shoulder and closes her eyes; which no one can tell because her sunglasses are still on.
