ALEXIS' POV "Come on, Alex. Tell me what happened at the party last night." Aurora continues to nudge me as we walked into the hallway and towards our locker. Today, Aurora's father had driven the both of us to school and ever since we were in the car, Aurora wouldn't stop bothering me to give her the details of what happened last night at the party. It isn't that I don't want to share those details with her. Rather, I don't want to as little as revisit the events of what happened that night."Dude. I already told you." I stop by my locker to open it and she does the same to her own locker which is directly next to mine. "It was great." I tell her."Did you kiss him?" She changes her tone to a sultry one and bit her lip too.No, Aurora. I kisses his best friend."No." I simply reply and faced my locker again."Why? I am sure it was pretty intense last night. Did he even try to kiss you? Smooch you?"I sigh and turn my head to reply her again but I freeze to my spot as the tall mascul

ALEXIS' POV I take a deep inhale and exhale before dialing the cell phone number and waiting quite impatiently for the receiver to pick the call while I brace myseld and revise the lines I had practiced to say on the phone."Hi. I am calling to apologize about what happened last night at the party. I misunderstood the whole situation with you and Lori and thought I had seen you having sex with her in Randall's bathroom. Which was why I got jealous and decided to pay you back by kissing your best friend."No. Too detailed. I can do better."Hi. I'm sorry about happened last night. I was too dumb to have fallen for Lori's tricks. I know I shouldn't have kissed Randall..."No. I shouldn't admit my faults this way."Hello. Donovan Alken speaking. How may I help you?"My heart beats wildly both in panic and excitement as this deep, yet calm and composed male voice that I have gotten used to for the past month cuts me off guard. I take a few seconds to brace myself together and try to rea

I have never felt this nervous being in the same environment with someone who is practically ignoring the life out of me. On the pitch, Domican doesn't even space me the littlest glance and our eyes never meet, no matter the number of times I try to lock eye contact with him. I take that he has completely wiped every memories of me from his head and getting him to give me his attention again would be the same as pouring water into an empty basket.When it is time for our sit up excercise, the guys divide themselves into a group of twos and as I make to rush in and use the opportunity to pair myself with Donovan, Lewis closes in on him, overtaking me and then the two boys set to carry out their excercises. Feeling disappointed, I slouch my shoulders and Randall's voice comes behind me."Need help?"I turn to face him, feeling both grateful th at there is someone out there who is willing to stick by me and help but also at the same time, disappointed that it didnt get to be with the same

ALEXIS' POV I hear the cheers from the crowd as the match starts and the ball gets tossed around the field, every player's legs moving expertly towards the ball while my own leg does not feel the ball even for once. It is as if I am in an entirely different planet, completely exposed and vulnerable, my legs feeling as frozen as my brain."Yo, Alex!" Lewis yells at me as he passes a ball smoothly my way but before I can unfreeze my legs and reach for the ball, an opponent comes behind me and gets control of the ball. At the end of the first half, none of the teams scored a goal and it ends in zero to nil. As we take our fifteen minutes half-time break, coach Ryder scold us, visibly angry and disappointed at our performance on the field. I think his anger should be directed at me alone. Everyone else had done their best back there except me. I was completely numb and did nothing like I was a rookey in the game."And Alex?" Coach Ryder finally calls my name before he finishes his prep t

ALEXIS' POV I sit on my desk, trying my best to concentrate and have my assignment done. But as always, my thoughts are all over the place and as a result, I growl lowly in frustration and bury my head under my books on the table. I wish I never had to deal with the dramas going on in my life right now. The sound of stone hitting against my closed windows jerks my brain back to reality and I immediately raise my head and stare at the direction of the window, wondering what could be the source of the noise. Again, another stone hits the window and a small pebble rolls inside my room. As I stare at the pebble lying innocently by my feet, I clench my fist in a tight ball. I am sure it is the neighboring kids that are the culprits. I have warned them a countless number of times to stop stoning my window and for a while, they went silent and I was grateful they had resigned from their evil works. But now again?I pick the pebble and hurry to the window, prepared to send the pebble back to
