"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 because apparently his weight is too much to keep him standing for more than eight minutes.
"Come on Ali, tell me. What did you say to him?"
She turned to me biting her lower lip hesitantly. "you don't have any feelings for him anymore right? "she asks taking me aback.
"What? No."
She let's out a sigh of relief. "and you wouldn't mind if i date him right? "
Date him? Am i missing something here?
"What happened Ali? "
"Well he came unto me saying stuff like he wants you back -"
"What? "
"-And then I'm like i can help him get to you."
"What! Why would you do that?"
"I'm not exactly trying to get to you, I'm trying to get to him "
"I don't understand "
"Listen, i really like him lex, and I've been trying so hard to get his attention but it's like nothing i do works, and i hate it! I've never felt this way with a guy before, I've never had to try so hard to get any one to notice me before and it's frustrating. " figures. "i just thought that this would help me get closer to him you know "she shrugs "and you said you don't have feelings for him anymore didn't you? "
I'm slightly shocked. I knew Alice was trying to get his attention, but i didn't think it was that serious! Finn is an over confident asshole with an ego the size of my almost empty walk in closet. She knows everything that went down between me and him and yet she's trying to get on with him and using me to do it?
I frown. I love my best friend, and the last thing i want is for her to waste her time on a jerk like Finn.
Before i could voice out my thoughts, there was the bell signaling the end of the class and people began to pack up their stuff in hurry to distance themselves from Mr humpy's horrible lessons. Sometimes i think everyone is going to fail this class very miserably even my ex quiz competition partner, Jenna Marbles, the smartest kid i know in this huge school who always saw me as a potential rival.
And with the way people are rushing out of the class room, i can tell that they are eager to get out of here. Who wouldn't! Except you want to hear a retelling of the history of the gulf war about how he so naturally went into battle with all his masculinity and bravery.
Isn't he just a wonderful teacher?
I walked out of the class with my bag hanging on one side of my shoulder and Alice right beside me.
"You can't Ali " i say trying to be as understandable as possible.
"What do you mean i can't? "
"You can't date Finn "
"Why not? I thought you... "
"This is not about me "i state and she stops abruptly. "Finn is no good, he's a jerk and a player, i don't want you getting your heart broken. "
Her expression changes. I can't really grab it, is that annoyance? "you're not talking to a little girl lexa, i know what he is, and besides you and everyone else are way too quick to judge! "
"I'm just trying to help you Ali... "
"Really! "she snaps "are you really! "
"What is that supposed to mean? "my brows crease.
"You never care about who i date lexa! So why fuse now? Is it because you actually care or you still have feelings for him! " what!
I can't believe she just said that. It's true i never really minded who Ali dated before, but that's because i knew it was nothing serious, she was probably going to dump them by the end of the week or two. But this is different. This is the guy that tried to force himself on me. I know him and how he is and i know that with the way my friend is reacting to this jerk, he isn't someone i want her to be with.
"That's not it and you know it! "I've noticed people have started looking our way with the way we are both shouting. I reduce my voice "I'm just trying to look out for you. "
"Well i don't need looking out for! "she doesn't back down "i want something i get it, and I'm not stopping on your account! I was stupid to even think you'll support me with the first guy I've ever really liked " with that she storms away leaving me stunned.
I raise my head to look at all the people still looking for gossip "the hell are you looking at! " i yell and they start running off.
With a frustrated grunt, i walk to the school parking lot and meet Kyle standing coolly with his back leaning on the drivers seat of his car, waiting for me.
"Took you long enough " he says and i just jump in the car.
"let's just go " he gives me a weary look and then breaks into a grin as if sensing that I'm in a bad mood and he knows exactly what would cheer me up.
And damn, he does.
"Peanuts?"
My gaze sharply meats a bag of milky coconut peanuts he's waving in my face. My absolute favorite. I don't even realize when a small smile forms at my lips, i just grab it and begin to munch and i feel so much better already.
I let myself relax on the seat as the wind does wonders to my hair but i don't mind.
Kyle chuckles and starts the ignition as he moves from the lot.
He knows me so well!
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
There are the moments when you feel like something beautiful is right ahead of you, maybe physically, maybe mentally, maybe emotionally or maybe even in your subconscious. Right now for me it was the latter.I don't know why but my lips are stretched into a blissful smile and I'm not even fully awake yet. My eyes are still closed and I'm still in that sleepy haze between wonder land and real life. Maybe it's because of the extremely soft duvet I'm hugging tightly to myself, or it's because of the sweet smell of vanilla and mint surrounding me, or even because of the comfortable heat pressed against my back."I know you are awake lex, you can open your eyes now " his voice husky and low behind my ear.I smile even wider opening my eyes and turn so I'm facing him. "hey ""Morning, " he grins down at me, prompting his head on his palm with his elbow resting
