Tit for tat 2CHAPTER SIXAlexa"I believe I just signed my death sentence." I whined to Stacey as we both walked to our lockers, having met her in the hallway."What do you mean?" She asked, puzzled. A single worry line creased her forehead, and her eyes darted across my face, trying to read the answers from there.I told her about Devon, the video and his ridiculous terms he had forced me to agree to. I watched as her face contorted into various expressions, curiosity, disbelief, horror and then pity."He can't do that. It's not fair." She was furious."It's not like I didn't try." I sounded dejected to my own ears. "It's a good thing he's not black mailing the both of us."I pushed all my books into my locker, watching as she did the same. "To make matters worse, Mr. Stephens paired me with him this morning.""I'm really sorry." Stacey looked guilty, and I knew what she was thinking.Turning my attention to her, I placed my arms on her shoulders, then looked in her deep blue eyes.
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
It's OfficialChapter Thirty OneAlexaSchool resumed, but I could hardly concentrate throughout any of my classes my mind constantly wandering back to that night. He had sounded so genuine, so hopeful and optimistic about his feelings. I wasn't a fool not to realize that he had meant each word, but at the end of it all, I had turned him down. I so badly wanted to say yes and jump in his arms, screaming my lungs out in both excitement and happiness, but that hadn't been the case. All my fears and doubts had come rushing down, forcing me to question everything. It was then that I decided I still very much needed to work on myself. I had to be true to myself before I could be true to anyoneanyone else. Devon especially. It wa three months going on four since I had broken up with my ex and honestly, I wasn't sure if I was really ready to get into another relationship. Until I was able to overcome these insecurities, I wouldn't be able to have a stable and healthy relationship with hi
I caught feelings-pt.2CHAPTER THIRTYAlexaI fought him, the moment my brain recovered it's functionality. Initially, I had frozen, shocked at the unexpected turn of events, but that was no more. I struggled in his arms, using my nails to scratch him wherever I could reach, trying to break free from him. When that didn't work, I bit him, as hard as I could until I tasted the metallic taste of blood, but all through that, Devon didn't let go or stop. He had a gentle but firm grip on my face. His kisses remained gentle, coaxing and soothing. His teeth nibbled on my lips, gently begging as he sucked and licked, using his lips where words weren't spoken.I felt myself begin to go slack in his arms and when I couldn't hold back my own pleasure from his kisses, I decided to kiss him back. Everything began at a slow tempo, light and passionate, with Devon's hand gently caressing my face and following a path to my hair. Suddenly, he pushed his tongue in my mouth, seeking entrance, and I le
I caught feelings. CHAPTER TWENTY NINEAlexaIt was exactly a week from the time Devon and I had our date. At the moment though, he was absent from school and I hadn't seen him for a couple days. It wasn't for long though and I expected him to return this weekend. It was after school hours and Stacey and I were currently hanging out in my bedroom as she filled me in about school's latest gossip. "That's crazy. ""It's crazy what kids these days will do for a grade. Mandy literally did all that for a B. Granted, her dad had promised getting her a Porsche, but if you ask me, going down on our teacher in the Chemistry lab was going a little far. ""Well, now Mr. Terry is facing 15years in prison and as a registered sex offender and pedophile. But if we're being honest here, he'll probably not be making it out alive, especially not with Mandy's father's influence. "We both stayed silent, soaking in the information. "I'm getting chills continuously thinking about it. ""Me too. "The
Hanging out-part2 CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT Devon "Oh my God. You actually brought me to a carnival." I leaned back against my back, crossing my arms with a shit eating grin as I watched Alexa squeal in excitement. I had come up with the idea after much thought, and I was glad it was actually paying off. "Yeah. I remember you told me about it a few months ago and that you hadn't been to one since you were a kid." I explained as we both made our way to where the tickets were being sold. Grabbing my wallet, I paid for our entrance tickets. "You actually remembered?" She sounded like she was touched. "Of course I did. I looked up one online and fortunately found one that wasn't far away from where we lived." "Devon..." Her adorably eyes rounded beautifully as we made eye contact and I couldn't help but smile at her, scratching the back of my head. "I just wanted to make sure you got to have fun." A sweet silence echoed between us, both lost within each other's eyes. The moment ho
Hanging out-part2CHAPTER TWENTY SEVENDevonI was currently perched at the front porch of my girlfriend's house, waiting for the doorbell that I had rang just a couple of seconds ago to be answered. Alexa, though only being my girlfriend in name only and none of it being real, it felt good to address her as such. My initial feelings at the moment were far from those that I felt from when we first met. However, with a few moments and some dramatic events occuring in both our live, I had found myself catching feelings for her.I had caught onto what a kind and brilliant person she was, especially during the library dates we had both shared over the past summer. I was dragged out of my thoughts when the door opened, revealing her mother. She was a beautiful blonde woman in her mid-forties and I could tell that Alexa had got her looks from her. She smiled pleasantly as she greeted me, "Hello.""Hi." I replied, handing over the bouquet of flowers I had in hand. They had originally bee
Hanging outCHAPTER TWENTY SIXAlexa"Mom," I yelled for my mother who was currently in the kitchen. "Could you please help me see the person who's at the door?""Sure, sweetie."Finishing my shower, I wrapped the towel around my body and did the same for my hair. Strolling back into my room, I sat at my dressing table and swiftly began my hair.I quickly applied my body lotion and skincare before I changed into a short pair of denim shorts and a giant sized hoodie. I also tried my hair up in a mess bun.Shortly after I was done, my mom came knocking on my door. "Alexa, it's me sweetie, may I come in?""Of course."She peeked her head inside before coming fully inside. She was smirking at me and I was curious as to why she was doing that."So, who was at the door mom?""Oh." Her grin widened. "It was a young gentleman. He told me he was your boyfriend. He's currently waiting downstairs in the living room."My jaw dropped. There was no doubt she was possibly talking about Devon. I rush
A Supportive BoyfriendCHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEAlexa“Whoa.” “Would you quit saying that? It’s starting to bug me.”“I can’t help it. It’s just that the video is so mesmerizing.”Stacey and I were currently hanging out in the cafeteria. Her lunch was long forgotten, since she was nose deep buried in her phone screen.Unintelligible sounds came from her phone speakers, eliciting a sigh from me. “Would please quit watching that forsaken video.”“I can’t.” She said. Not that I was hoping she would agree to what I was asking. After that show that Devon and I had put on earlier today, it was no surprise that someone had caught us on video.A lot of eyes had been watching us.Four hours later and the video was already going viral on the school community site. While Devon and I had definitely put on a show for everyone in the hallway, I hadn't even expected that it would go this far.Devon had been really attentive to my needs, and he had been really dedicated to convincing everyone that he was
My boyfriend…fake boyfriend?CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURAlexaMy palms were sweaty.Grabbing a napkin, I wiped them, then let it fall it at my feet. Every minute that ticked by only made my anxiety rise. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. Everyone was definitely going to see through this. I shouldn’t have…..“Hey.”Devon whispered beside me, his large hand coming to rest on my knee. I stared at it, shocked at how warm it felt on my skin. Nevertheless, I hadn’t expected him to touch me.“Relax. Your leg has been going a mile per minute, and I can hear the wheels turning in your head all the way from here.”“I just can’t stop thinking. What if…” all this was a bad idea? I didn’t dare complete the sentence. Looking at him, I knew he could tell what I was going to say. A few weeks before school could start, we had spent a lot of time together, enough to know about each other so we could keep our fake relationship going and convincing.This being our first day, we had both agreed he would drive
The Proposal CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Alexa “He wants us to meet and talk.” “He does? Then what are you fucking doing here still face timing me, bitch. Go and see him.” Stacey yelled through her excitement. “Go? I don’t even know what’s he’s going to say?” “Go and find out then. You are acting like a really dumb person.” Stacey laughed. I just rolled my eyes at her. “Fine. Fine. I’m going. What do I wear though? Do I look okay?” I asked, gesturing to my denim black shorts and red tank top and fuzzy slippers. “You look cute, but change into something comfortable, something that won’t make it seem like you are being too forward. Like you didn’t put too much thought into it?” “Like jeans and a tank?” “Exactly. Gosh, you sound like you’ve never done this before. Relax, babe. Don’t think much into it.” Stacey advised. “Ok. I’ve got to get ready. Tell you all about it later.” I promised. “Bye. See you soon.” I said, then hang up. Looks I was going to meet Devon. The air was cool and
