I know I should not be starting a new story when Outsiders is in the works. But writers block is a bitch and I've been reading a lot of crossovers lately for ideas. I have just read this Alex Rider/Cherub crossover called Interesting, go check it out. Anyway I got this idea and it wouldn't go away. I've started a lot of stories and I want to have at least 5 chapters before I post them. But this story has been nagging me. I have chapter 2 done but I'm not posting it till I get chapter 3 done. If I get positive reviews then maybe I might continue with the story and if I don't, I will probably delete it. I want at least 5 reviews people until I post chapter 2 and Flames are welcome!

Summary: Every legend has a story behind it. And the kids of Brookland Comprehensive School are about to meet the legend known as Alex Rider.

*It's a real school but I don't know if they have a football team or not.

Mr Blueberry; Alex's new maths teacher was officially the most boring teacher in the school. He hated maths, that he admitted but the man took it to a whole new level. Now he despised maths.

"Rider, pay attention!"

"I am...sir" he added as an afterthought. The room went deadly quite. Mr Blueberry though boring was also very strict and at times unfair. I'm in for it now

"Detention Rider! I do not care for drug dealers in this class if you have a problem, deal with it in your own time. This is my class and you will show me respect. Is that clear?" He spat, spit flying as he spoke. A few of his peers wiped their faces; a disgusted look on their face.

"Yes sir" he said, everyone hearing the sarcasm in his voice. Mr Blueberry's eyes twitched and his lips pursed into a thin line, a clear sign of frustration and anger. Alex smirked; mentally of course he did not want another detention. Since tomorrow was the football game between Brookland and their rivalry school King Solomon Academy*. It had taken hard work and determination on his part to get back on the football team. MI6 leaving him alone for a whole month also helped. His peers were slowly trying to befriend him now that they were sure he wasn't going to leave again. But he was still doubtful; he knew deep down that they were never going to accept him fully. They were waiting for him to leave again, waiting for him to come back bruised and beaten just so they could throw him out again. His training with Scorpia had taught him a lot. People were always going to fear what they couldn't understand and the kids of Brookland Comprehensive School couldn't understand Alex Rider therefore they chose to cast him out.

"Hey, al" a voice whispered, breaking him from his reverie. Tom

"Yeah Tom?" he asked his best friend since the sandbox days. Tom was the only one who stuck by him (excluding Jack of course). When the whole school was against him Tom stuck by him like glue. Loud annoying glue but glue none the less.

Tom gestured outside the window were a slick black Mercedes was parked, two people were getting out. One of them the last person he wanted to see right now.

"Isn't that Blunt down there?"
