LEXA.
"Posters are out already! "Alice exclaimed as she pulls out one of them from the notice board. "our final exams are just three months away !"she said flipping her platinum hair over her shoulder with a small pout on her red lips as we walked over to the cafeteria together.
"Already? "i ask.
I'm not prepared, after the hole slacking thing in my last chemistry test, i don't know if I'm ready to jump into finals now. I've been so busy with work and everything else that i barely have time to study now.
"Yeah it's all over the school walls, and I'm not even half way ready "she sighs and i throw her a glance "okay, I'm not ready at all " a defeated look passes her face. "maybe I'll just drop medicine. "
I stop abruptly on my steps and turn to look at her.
Ali has always wanted to be a medical specialist for as long as I've known her, and now suddenly telling me she wants to drop her dreams takes me aback. "what? "
"You know I'm not really that smart,... Actually I'm not smart at all and i strongly doubt I'll be getting the course with my pour grades. Besides, i don't think i ever really wanted that, i just wanted something that would make me look smart you know, but I'm not like you, i don't have the brains ..."
"Ali... "
"I think I'll just stick to what i know and do best "she smiles warmly at me "fashion. I'll probably just start a small fashion line you know. With my blog already trending so big it won't be hard to actually make it a real business. Trust me, I've been giving a lot of thought into this. "
I've got to say, I'm impressed. Not going to lie Ali's brain is as small as a fish, she can barely tell the difference between catabolism and anabolism, but that didn't mean she is completely clueless. She may not be good in physics and science but she knows her own thing and she knows it.
"You will totally rock it "she smirks .
"I know right! Just imagine all the splendid designs i could put up with " she giggles "and then my name would be on the magazines 'A N fashion and beauty line " she slowly drags her hands on the air in front of us for dramatic effect.
"You already have a name? " i lift a brow.
"Do you know me at all? "she throws me a glance as we stop in our usual table with Kyle already sited.
"Well, well... "Ali takes a sit and crosses her arms, "so Mr Lorenzo finally decided to show up."
Kyle grinned at her "hey Ali "
She rolled her eyes picking up her fries and dips them into the small cup of mayonnaise before putting them into her mouth.
Yes you heard that right! Mayonnaise!
You see, my friend has a habit of mixing some weird unhealthy stuff and eating. I've never seen her actually eat her fries with ketchup. It's always either mayonnaise or jam and believe me, this girl is sucker for fries.
Maybe very soon she'll start eating them with butter.
I'm already used to seeing her eat like that so i don't bother saying anything, instead i just take a huge bite out of my own pork sandwich.
If there was anything i love about this school, it's their ability to make amazing sandwich.
"Good to see you're back to eating your regular junkies "Kyle says, referring to me, and i know why he said that.
"Isn't it? "i reply sarcastically.
"Lexa? Look behind you "Ali said.
"What? "
"Behind you "
I turn around and she the last thing i ever want to see again in my entire life. "what about it? "i ask carelessly.
"He's coming this way "she grins and adjusts her crop top properly "do you think i look approachable? "
I frown "you always look more than approachable Ali "
"Good "she grins wider.
"Why? "
"You know "she wiggles her eyebrows.
"No i don't "
"W... "
"Hey "the most formidable voice calls from behind me and my muscles tense.
No, no, not now please, not ever.
I tried not to turn back and see the abominable homo sapien, so i focus my gaze on Ali who is busy chewing on her bottom lip and adjusting her body in strange ways, trying to get his attention. Never felt more disgusted, i transferred my gaze to Kyle who is watching the intruder silently with a bemused expression on his face, but i can still see the muscles in his jaw tenses and his teeth clench.
"Lexa? " he finally comes to a halt in front of me and my eyes are forced to meet his face.
He still looks good as always. His perfect face that had me swooning over a long time ago even more beautiful than ever, his freshly shaven jaw, sprawled fake blonde hair and arrogant smirk plastered on his face. Looking cool and collected as ever he dips his hands into his denim jeans pocket while staring coolly at me.
"What do you want Finn? "i spat, feeling uncomfortable.
"To talk "by now I'd noticed the whole cafeteria was looking at our table. I scoff, why wouldn't they , this is Finn Morton we are talking about, the must popular bad boy of all popular's in Greyson's academy. No surprise here! I just don't feel comfortable with all the sudden attention I'm getting now.
"What could i possibly talk to you about "i scoot farther away in my seat refusing to meet his gaze.
"Us " did i just hear him right?
"There is no us Finn "
"There was "
"Key word being 'was ' "
"There can be again "
I scoff loudly. What the hell is wrong with him? Has he forgotten what he did to me? Has he forgot why we ended? Or is he just trying to humiliate me in front of the whole school now?.... I can't believe i ever dated a joke like him before!
What was i even thinking?
Oh right... I wasn't thinking. I was just so overwhelmed that a person like him would want to date me back then in eleventh grade. Begin the shy, clumsy nerd that i was, always wearing oversized sweaters and leggings and my constantly pulling geek glasses, people never looked at me or spared me a second glance, so when he gave me his attention, i felt like i was in cloud nine.
But I'm not that person anymore, so who does he think he is coming from no where and claiming to want an us. Especially not after what he did to me that night.
"Don't you have some sluts to go flirt and play nibble with or something " i give him a bored look hoping he would kindly shoo off.
"No " he states and takes a seat on our table beside Alice who gladly scoots over for him. Noticing her for the first time since he got here, he greats her with a warm smile "hey beautiful. "
Alice blushes a dark shade of red as she tries to hide it behind her hair. "hi"
He turns his gaze back to me "so --"
"Get out man! "Kyle finally speaks up after a long time of observation, and i silently send him a thanks, because honestly, i don't think i have it in me to sit here and pretend to have a polite conversation with almost the whole school watching anymore.
"What?" Finn addresses Kyle. Both of them staring at each other Like lions ready to pounce on each others heads. Finn never liked Kyle, and Kyle always hated Finn.
"I said fuck off man! "Kyle said coolly.
"I'm sorry but i don't remember when you where added into this conversation "
"From the moment you opened your mouth and addressed Lexa, now fuck off! "
I know what is going to happen next. They are going to keep on going at it, Finn is going to get really pissed because Kyle won't be shooting or throwing punches like the usual high school teens and Finn is going to try something stupid and then...
"Okay that's enough boys! "Alice finally butted in looking really annoyed. Probably because she's been trying so hard to gain someone's attention and instead all she got was being ignored and watched him try to flirt with her best friend and pick a fight with her best friends best friend.
How frustrating.
All flushed look on her face gone replaced by a look of seriousness and annoyance. She stands to her feet with her hands on her hip, standing in a perfect pose for a photo shoot except the grim look on her face.
"How about you come with me playboy? " both boys turn to look at her, one surprised one not so bothered.
"Play boy? " she rolled her eyes at him and pulled him by the arm, dragging him by the arm out of the cafeteria and leaving the rest of us stunned. And even more stunned that play boy was actually going with her wordlessly like he already knew what and where she was taking him.
I'm quite bothered for Alice, but i really appreciate having her as a friend especially in situations like this. And the moment they are at a far distance and the attention was no longer on me anymore, i let out a relieved sigh and snuggle back against my chair, hoping to still be able to enjoy the rest of my lunch before the break is over, but i can't, I've already lost all my appetite.
"You okay? "Kyle asks
"Yeah I'm good "i give him an encouraging smile. At least i think i will be. But the memories flashing down my mind now say otherwise.
"What did you do? " i whisper to Alice referring to the little stunt she pulled back in the cafeteria. After she left with Finn he hasn't showed up to me again... Yet. And I'm starting to wonder what the infamous Alice Neama did to get rid of the all so famous jerk of the century.She simply shrugs and winked at me going back to pretend to listen to what Mr Louis whom i personally prefer to call humpty was saying.You can't blame me for striking up a conversation during class. I mean it's history, even I can say that i never listen during this class, although that has something more to do with the old humpty we have as a teacher, because trust me I'm not the only one.The guy just literally keeps talking to him self none stop, and that is all he does. Sit and talk b
Crap! I'm running late again for the what?... The Fifth time this week?.I'm screwed, yeah. Definitely screwed .and my feet hurt, i can't tell how many times I've had to run on heals anymore and i don't think i can ever get used to it because these things hurt like hell.Damn heals!I should have just gone with the vans but i can't. Because victor is just a regular asshole.Finally getting to the bar, i met it extremely crowded with an extra busy Jim.This is the thing about down side, it has absolutely no age limit and doesn't give two fucks about illegal teenage drinking just as long as it's making good money. Which is why on Bu
"Alexa, we need to talk "Urgh! Not again!I brush past him with a nonchalant expression and head straight to my room. "no we don't.""Yes we do! "he grabs my arm to keep me from walking away.I turn around with a grunt and pull my arms out of his. "what do you want Andrew? "he winced, as if I'd clawed his hands away.He's dark brown eyes stare at me with some sort of expression that i can't decipher. He digs his hand into his messy black curls and ruffles them. "have dinner with me. "My eyes went bulging out of their sockets. The only time we had ever had dinner together was when i was seven. His family came ove
I decided to try something different today. You can only do the same thing for so long and eventually decide to try something new.The moment i step into school hallway with my purple summer dress, above knee length and black ankle boots. A little touch of mascara and lip gloss, shocked me too, Shoulder length hair packed in two curly buns. People begin to stop and stare accessing me and whispering to themselves.I don't know if it's because of my new change in wardrobe or there's something on my face, but it's creeping me out, I've never been one to like attention.But my question is answered when the oh, all too famous, Trevor Turner stops beside my locker while I'm picking out my books, smiling... No smirking at me with an arm
She's just sitting there alone, twirling with her fingers and staring of into space, or someone. I don't need to look to know who it is.A small sigh escapes my lips and i walk down to sit opposite her, wordlessly swapping my tray of fries and ketchup that i exchanged for mayonnaise because of this exact reason for her small plate of salad and bread sticks. I hate salad but right now i don't mind waiting a few more hours till i can get home and eat proper food. Alice on the other hand breaths on fries, which makes me wonder why she's having a plate of salad to begin with.She looks at me but doesn't say anything and just mindlessly starts dipping her fries into the mayonnaise but still i can spot the faintest hint of a smile on her lips."Are you still going to keep avoid
I lay by the window, watching the droplets hit the ground with the ticking sound. I stand to my feet and push the lid open letting my hands stretched out allowing the cold droplets of rain wash me."You really think i should do it? "i ask lying back down and watch the water wash over the green yard. "she said she'll pay, but i don't think i want to be anywhere near him ""Babe you're still going to have to face him one way or the other, if he wants to get to you he will no matter what way it would be, you rather just do it while making something out of it "Ali says that last line in a duh tone over the phone, i can imagine her flipping her platinum hair.I gave a frustrated sigh "i don't know "."Think about it Lex, you need this, besides its worth more than you were earning in that bar to be honest. " that's true, but i know Ali doesn't really
Dinner isn't going well at all. I feel uncomfortable with two burning gazes on me, one a deep shade of mesmerizing blue and the other, the darkest of browns. I force myself to force food in my mouth that are surprisingly really good but don't feel as good because of the intensity of the situation.They'd been trying to get me to say something, pulling small talks here and there but so far nothing is working, i just continue to ignore them completely increasing my pace so i can go back to my room and study a little before retreating for the night."We are getting married "Brittany finally blurted.I freeze.Slowly lifting eyes to look up at the woman who said those words, i find her staring at me intently gagging my reaction and Andrew sending daggers to the side of head with his eyes. "what did you say?"
"What do you want? " i say ripping open a pack of gummy bears and popping it into my mouth."How do you feel? "he takes me by surprise."Do you really want to know? ""Yes " he looks really serious, no falter in his expression what so ever.I sit up, staring him straight in the eye. "like you're a piece of shit "He sighs and his eyes soften into something a little sad. He walks closer to me and takes a sit on my little love seat by the corner. "it bothers you ""Surprise, surprise ""I know i haven't been the father you probably wanted -""Shocking! "i fake surprise with my eyes wide."-But i want to make up for it " he goes on, ignoring my childish comment. "i didn't start off on the right foot, and I've probably hurt you
