Eavesdropping and annoying class partnersCHAPTER SEVENAlexaCurse this wretched day.I sighed out loud, realising that I had less than five minutes for school to end. Usually, I was excited but the fact that I had to deal with Devon was like putting out a candle yet you didn't have anything to light it up again.Finishing my business, I rose from the toilet seat, ready to flash. Before I could, I was interrupted by the click off heels and the sound of voices. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but their conversation caught my attention."Can you imagine? He's her boyfriend, but she doesn't know he's been sleeping with her bestfriend. For weeks. I mean, most of us are in the know. How could she be so oblivious? I just don't understand." #1 girl said."It's called being in love. I don't think she has reason to suspect them. I mean, the other girl is her bestfriend and the guy is her boyfriend. How the hell is she gonna know when she's always with them? Besides, the cheaters have been careful
The bad boy and his toy.CHAPTER EIGHTAlexa"I don't know what I'm going to do about him Stacey. He's driving me crazy."I was currently on facetime with my bestfriend, ranting about Devon."Did you try asking Mr. Stephens to assign you another partner or at least do a switch?" She asked."I did that already, and with that bald head of his, he wouldn't budge." I complained, gesturing with my hands. "He said my reason wasn't valid enough and that I had to solve any argument or problem I had with Devon."That's too bad." She said, and that's when I noticed her rubbing her temples and the exhaustion on her face. She must be frustrated, tired and really worried for me.All this time, I had been ranting about Devon I didn't realise I was probably having a toll on her."Oww, Stacey. I'm so sorry I didn't think about you. It must be overwhelming for you to listen to me grumble and grunt over some super annoying male like a stupid goat in heat." I said, slumping my shoulders and look directl
Surprise, surprise: Bad boyCHAPTER NINEDevonAlexa looked like she wanted to murder me. We had only been at our assignment for only thirty minutes, but the fury that shone in her eyes was enough to create laser beams and shot anyone, point of correction, me into a non existent state.She voiced the question once again, but I pretended like I didn't know the answer, despite her explaining to me the same paragraph to me five times ago.I did know what the answer was about, and I had already read that stuff during lunch period, but it was truly entertaining to watch her try to put aside her irritation and not express her true feelings towards me.If anything, her expression worsened, causing me to smirk more inwardly. My battle not to burst into laughter must have shown because her eyes narrowed dangerously on me."Are you trying to make a fool out of me?""No." And that's all it took me to lose my cool and burst into uncontrolled guffaws of laughter. It didn't take a genius to know t
Surprise, surprise: Back at you, princess.CHAPTER TENDevonHarry's sudden chortle of laughter broke me out of my disbelief.Turning my angry glare on him, I asked. "What's so funny? I don't really think any of this is, unless you are a sadistic masochist.""The fact that she sneaked in here and did this." Still wheezing and holding his belly, Harry said between laughs. "You must have really made an enemy of her.""Stop laughing. Nothing is funny about this." I growled. Instead, the bastard only laughed harder.I turned my angry glare back onto my bike. This time, she had painted everything pink. I didn't think there was any shade she had left behind. Walking over it, I took in all the glitter that she had placed all over my handles. I groaned. "She used glue on this. It's going to take a while to get this off.""Or never." Harry said.I turned my irritated glare on him, noticing that he had come to stand next to me and inspect my bike. Noticing my death glance, he only returned an
Let the games beginCHAPTER ELEVENAlexa"Enough of this Alexa. You can't keep doing this. It's going to get one of us in trouble." Stacey whispered urgently, beside me.I ignored my best friend, continuing to mess with Devon's locker. Sneaking into school had been much harder than the movies made it out to be, but Stacey and I had been able to make it inside.For a guy, Devon's locker was surely neat, since all his books had been arranged alphabetically, his textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils all arranged on one side. The other side held a basketball that was probably from gym class. Devon didn't play any games.To my disappointment, nothing personal was in his locker. Could been actually nice to have something over that fool's head. Probably like a diary or perhaps a handwritten letter to a girl he liked.I chuckled inwardly as I thought about how funny it would be to embarrass the school's badboy when his 'romantic' display was pinned on all the school's notice boards and the s
RestlessCHAPTER TWELVEAlexa"Hello, Nick.""Hi babe.""Do not babe me when you're thirty minutes late. Where are you?""Uh. . .about that babe. . ""You better not cancel when we both agreed you would show up today. For God's sake Nick. This is the fourth time. 1,2,3,4 times.""It's just that I'm so busy. . .""Too busy to give me a damn hour of your time? Am I not that important to you?""Of course not." "Then why is it that you keep calling off our dates? Do you want us to break up because if that's it. . .""No, no, no. Don't even think about it. I never want to. I still love you."I sighed with relief, my anger leaving as I heard those words from him. "Then please stop letting me down, will you?""It won't happen again. I promise I'll make it all up to you." "I love you Nick.""Bye babe."I frowned at the phone as Nick hang up. He hadn't said the words back.*****I played around with the food on my plate as I recalled the conversation I had earlier had with Nick. Honestly, I
Mischief overloadCHAPTER THIRTEENDevonIt's been a few silent days between Alexa and I, but that wasn't going to be that way anymore. Not for long anyway.I let her have her fun, but it was my turn now. I had been watching her lately and even though she seemed calm and collected, laughing with her friends and having fun, she never failed to look back over her shoulder.Smart girl.I might have not retaliated at her moves and pranks, but that doesn't mean I wasn't brewing something.Currently, I was sitting in a Spanish class, listening to a Mr. Louis Hoz- something droning on and on about how it was important to differentiate his/her nouns.Alexa wasn't in this class, but she was in the next. Chemistry. The best part is, we are partners.After fifteen minutes of torturous waiting, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of Spanish. Phew. I was smirking with glee and excitement. I just couldn't wait to see the look on Alexa's face. The fact that she didn't know exactly when I was
BetrayalCHAPTER FOURTEENAlexaNumbness.That’s all I felt. Or maybe I just didn’t want to feel anymore.I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t feel or do anything, my mind playing over and over the scene I had witnessed.Voices buzzed around me, but I couldn’t register what was being said. Someone touched me, causing me to look up. I met Devon’s gaze head on. “Alexa, let’s go. I don’t think we need to be here.”I could hear his voice, but none of his words registered in my head. I turned away from him, my gaze on my now ex-boyfriend and of course my ex-best friend. “Why?”I didn’t realize I had asked the question, but then it was already out there. Neither Demi nor Nick met my eyes. I didn’t expect them to say anything, but wasn’t this evening just full of surprises?“It’s not what it looks like.” Nick said, trying to take a step closer to me. I took a step back, warning him to stay back. Nick stayed where he was, taking the hint. “Alexa, please . . . “Nick tried again, but I wasn’t havin
