Alexander s'est brouillé à la guitare. L'instrument acoustique était en parfait état. Le corps en bois léger avait une finition sans tache qui reflétait les rayons du soleil. Ses longs doigts couraient vers le haut et le bas du cou de la guitare appuyant sur les cordes au bon endroit. La guitare lâchait un air mélodieux qui était apaisant, mais chaleureux. Les yeux bleu clair d'Alex étaient à moitié lidés et il n'a apparemment commencé à rien. Son regard semblait reposer sur ce qu'il faisait, cependant, il ne faisait pas vraiment attention au monde physique. De temps en temps, il bourdonnait un peu avec les accords qu'il jouait. Le garçon qui s'assombrissait bougeait sa bouche pour former des mots quand il venait à lui. Son pied tapait constamment avec le battement de tout ce qu'il jouait. La chanson a commencé à se répéter, à changer dans certains endroits, et à revenir à l'idée précédente dans d'autres. Il n'y avait pas de pause dans son jeu. Le volume n'a jamais atteint un niveau au-dessus des oiseaux qui semblaient vouloir chanter avec l'étrange air.
Ce n'est qu'après l'arrêt des traces devant Alex, qu'il a arrêté de jouer. Il a levé les yeux un peu surpris, comme un étudiant qui s'est réveillé après s'être endormi au milieu de la classe. Se tenir au-dessus de lui était un homme apparemment intimidant. Cependant, Alexandre a simplement souri et l'a accueilli comme un vieil ami. Bonjour, Marc. Comment allez-vous?
Je vais bien. Tu devrais être plus inquiet pour ta sœur. C'est elle qui travaille avec des objets pointus.Les yeux bruns du garde de sécurité ont regardé d'où il venait.
Je m'inquiète davantage des gens qui la croisent alors qu'elle est encore à la distance de ces objets pointus.Alex a souri, glissant le pic de guitare dans la poche de son jean. Il était encore assez chaud pour ne pas avoir besoin d'une veste, mais la chute n'était pas trop loin. Au moins, il ne faisait pas chaud. Marc a ri, c'était profond et gluant. Son charmant sourire semblait s'éclaircir tôt le matin.
Je suppose que vous avez raison, il a dit, en vérifiant sa montre. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de gens qui sont en train de se lever si tôt que c'est samedi. J'espère que personne ne mourra dans les locaux d'Eden Gardens aujourd'hui. Votre sœur fait un excellent travail avec la flore, mais elle a vraiment besoin d'un peu de travail quand il vient à s'occuper des gens.
Je fais du mieux que je peux, Alex a lâché. Il était dehors parce que sa sœur s'occupait des jardins. Il a décidé de lui donner quelque chose à écouter en travaillant. Ça et il voulait s'entraîner de toute façon. Il n'a pas non plus voulu déranger certains des autres locataires avec son jeu.
"Je t'ai entendu jouer juste avant." Marc a hurlé à la guitare alors qu'il glissa les mains dans ses poches. Je suis surpris que tu ne sois pas encore partie et que tu sois devenue musicienne. Tu travailles si dur. Pourquoi vous embêtez-vous avec un diplôme universitaire qui va juste vous mettre la taille haute dans la dette?
Je vous l'ai déjà expliqué.Alex soupira, regardant sa guitare. Il y a beaucoup de raisons. En plus, tu devrais m'encourager à rester ici pour que tu puisses garder ton travail.
"Hé, je m'occupe juste de toi petit." Marc a étouffé les cheveux blancs argentés d'Alex, avant de partir dans une autre direction. À tout à l'heure, il a rappelé avant d'arrondir un coin.
À tout à l'heure, Alex a agité. Il a ensuite remonté sa guitare, l'inspectant un peu. Je ne suis pas si jeune. Tu n'as pas besoin de me traiter d'enfant. Après s'être un peu amusé, le musicien a recommencé à s'étrangler. Cette fois-ci, cependant, il a constamment bourdonné avec la musique. Ses cordes vocales ont été un peu échauffées en parlant avec Marc. Cette fois, le son était un peu plus fort et plus audacieux. Comme pour réveiller les autres résidents doucement de leur sommeil.

“Then he said, 'Anyways here's Wonderwall,' and it was fucking awful.”


In-Depth Appearance
Alex has very striking light blue eyes, they're usually the first thing people notice. That and his white/silvery hair. He likes having his hair long, but it bobby pins it out of the way when it gets in the way. His skin is fairly pale since he was always inside when he was young. His parents never liked being outdoors more than they had to. He is taller than most at 6'2", and sometimes he teases those who are shorter than him if he gets a good reaction out of them. He's fairly physically active because his sister drags him to the gym every once in a while. However, he does prefer to binge watch Netflix and play music, so no six packs. Sorry ladies. If it makes you feel any better he does have fairly big feet. Alex wears a large variety of clothing, but he has a good sense of fashion from being out in the public quite a bit. He on a casual day, he'll wear fairly classy clothing.

Biggest Fear
Alex's biggest fear is losing his sister. They've spent their entire life together through thick and thin, and he couldn't imagine his live without her. Especially now that they're so reliant on each other.
Personality
Alex is quite a people person, unlike his sister. He is fairly comfortable interacting with all types of people and is persistent in making friends. He's a nice guy who really just wants to get to know people better. However, if you say anything bad about his sister, he become very passive aggressive. It's a very slow transition. Usually, he'll give a warning to the person who did it, but if they continue he gets more and more savage. Many people perceive him as a player type person, but he teases everyone equally and it doesn't necessarily mean he has a crush on someone. He's also unintentionally good at attracting females, but he can be really dense when it comes to actual romance.


"You mess with my sister, you mess with me."


Background
Alex and his sister, Abby, are the twin children of two very prominent politicians. As young children, they'd move a lot and were in the public eye. So, they only really had each other since all their other friends left. Some parents even warned their kids to stay away from the twins because of their parent's political views. Alex is 17 minutes older than his sister and enjoys teasing her about it. He was always the one who dealt with people verbally. Abby was the one who dealt with people physically if it came to it. Once the two got to college, their parents decided to send them to Evergreen Academy. However, one day Abby got a hold of information and documents that their parents tried to hide. Their parents had just hosted a fundraiser for a charity. However, Abby found out that a large majority of the proceeds actually went into the Clarke's own pocket. After a large debate, the twins came to a conclusion that they needed to release this information. Since the charity was very well known, the scandal was devastating to the Clarkes. Alex and Abby were basically disowned by their parents because they were so furious. Since Evergreen received a lot of support financially from the Clarkes, they twins were kicked out. They ended up going to the cheaper college, Skyline University, and living in the best apartment they could afford. Now they both have to work hard for money, something they've never really done before. They are well known around town and in the university because of the scandal, but the two don't regret their decision.

Alex loves his little sister. She may act all tough and mean, but she is actually just brutally honest. Alex knows she has trouble with others which is why he's trying to help her make friends and have a social life of her own. He knows that one day they'll go their own separate ways and he wants her to be prepared for that day. But for now, he'll keep teasing her and making sure she has actually has a future. One day she's gonna learn social graces the hard way.

Cassandra has quite the interesting character. She's a bit spastic, but it only adds to the entertainment that comes with her. Alex thinks it's really cool that someone like Cassandra lives in Eden Gardens. After all she is kinda famous right? He can't wait to tell people that he knew her before she was popular. (That sounds a bit hipster though) She's a bit all over the place, but that's fine. If everyone was put together the world would be a pretty boring place.

What a guy. Jack's basically the go to guy when Alex is having any problems with his stuff breaking. That guy just seems to know how to fix anything and everything. Alex is positive that he and his sister would have been broke a long time ago if Jack hadn't been around. Though the guy should honestly charge people at least a little bit for all the work he puts into fixing things. Since he refuses to take any money, Alex insists that he pays him back in deeds. Sometimes it's something as simple as providing food while he's fixing something. That guy is too nice (which is something coming from Alex). He hopes nothing bad happens to ruin his childlike innocence.

Kimberly is a bit shy, but that's why Alex tries his best to talk to him. That and he feels a bit bad for asking him to tutor Abby. She can get pretty whiny when she doesn't want to do something. He's a smart guy though and can handle Abby surprisingly well. He'd be lying if he didn't say that he hadn't thought about the two getting together. But let's just keep that a secret, yeah? Alex honestly thinks that the dude should spend a little time out and about though. Books are great, but living it is better.

Quinn seems like the person who has everything put together, but Alex knows better. He's been around enough people to know that no one has everything figured out. Not that he knows what's killing her on the inside. He hasn't gotten to speak with her much since both seem to have people who look up to them. It seems as though the two are both social figureheads at Eden Gardens, but in different way. Though, Alex would one day like to actually spend time with her, she seems a bit reckless.

Doris is a work of art. Some would call her crazy, but Alex prefers the word eccentric. He's listened to her on the radio before and some of the words that come out of her mouth are genuinely shocking. But he supposed that's what makes her interesting, every moment is a surprise. The two have talked, but there are times where Alex has a difficult time keeping up with her.

Max is one of Alex's closest friends. The two do a lot together and have even been mistaken as a couple frequently. It become a bit of an inside joke between the two. Alex enjoys the fact the he doesn't have to always be perfect around Max. He also doesn't mind it whenever Max goes on a video game craze. The way he talks about different games makes Alex actually interested in them. The two sometimes play together, but it usually ends up with Alex getting his ass whooped. (Not that he minds) There are times where Alex will win, but that's usually Max just being nice and letting him win.

Alex honestly doesn't know Nathan well. He's a bit ashamed, but it's difficult to naturally slip into a conversation with him. He is certainly a bit childish, but Alex doesn't really mind. To be honest, Alex just really wants to meet and play with all the animals that apparently live in Nathan's apartment room.

Clarence is the kind of person that motivates Alex when he's having a rough day. Not directly of course, but the idea that someone who is that determined exists, gives him hope for humanity at times. Also his little girl, Arianna is very cute. The twins baby sit her every once in awhile and Alex loves playing with her. He loves spoiling her and teasing her (not too much though), but does get a bit worried about her. He knows her family life is not the best since her parents are not together and hopes it doesn't affect her too much when she gets older.

Since Lewis is a bit new, Alex doesn't know a lot about him. He does try to speak with him, boy does he try, but he always seems to try to get away as fast as possible. Alex feels like he makes him uncomfortable, something he'd like to remedy. He usually seems a bit distant from others, but Alex is sure that there's a reason for it. He hopes to figure it out.

Boy, that guy sure is passionate about photography. Alex enjoys looking at whatever images Rucks has managed to capture and will even listen to him rant his heart out about them. Alex thinks the guy's images are at the same level as a professional, but then again, what does he know. Alex thinks that his images are absolutely breathtaking, and maybe one day he could rummage up the money to blow up one of those pictures and have it hanging on the wall of the twins’ apartment.

Alex thinks Vanessa is almost too good to be true. She's really nice and kind, however, she's a bit on the introverted side. She fits her role as a librarian perfectly, but no one can be that perfect, right? As much as Alex prefers to look at people in a positive way, he gets a bit suspicious of people who seem to be too good to be true. Spending his childhood in politics has taught him that everyone has flaws. He's mainly curious as to what Vanessa's are.

Fletcher is a really neat guy. As much as Alex loves kids, he couldn't imagine himself working with such a variety of kids as Fletcher does. Honestly, Alex would have gone crazy if he had to spend a week with such a mob of small children. However, Fletcher some how keeps it all together. Alex finds it interesting how different Fletcher is when he's with kids vs when he's not with kids.
