CHAPTER SIX

Alexa

"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

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

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 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

    Studying for FinalsCHAPTER FORTY-TWOAlexa’s POVMy head was starting to ache.Not the kind of ache you get from too much noise or not enough sleep, but the deep, buzzing kind that settled behind your eyes when you stared at too many notes for too long. My fingers were cramped from writing, my highlighters were bleeding dry, and I’d re-read the same sentence in my history book five times without absorbing a thing.“I need a break,” I groaned, tossing my pen onto the notebook and flopping backward onto the rug. “Like... an actual break. Not just scrolling through notes and pretending it counts.”If I couldn't get one, I actually believe I would go batshit crazy any minute from now. Devon didn’t even look up. “We had a break thirty minutes ago.”I inwardly groaned. Although he was my boyfriend, times like this had me wanting to actually beat the shit out of him. Devon was smart, and he barely had trouble studying. But sometimes, he was just too intense, like right now. “That wasn’t a

    DemieCHAPTER FORTY-ONEAlexa’s POVThe party was loud in the way all good high school parties were—music thumping through the floors, lights flashing in sync with bass drops, laughter spilling from every corner. I wasn’t even sure whose house it was anymore. Someone said it was Jayden’s cousin’s friend. Didn't matter. Everyone we knew was here.Since our finals were drawing closer, someone had suggested throwing a party as a way to have fun before anything got serious. After our very successful weekend get away by the way, my boyfriend, my best friend and my boyfriend's best friend as well had each returned and resumed our normal lives. Kai being homeschooled, hang out with us a lot. After all, Stacey and him had resolved their grudge from ages ago and seemed to have a relationship of sorts between them. It was still awkward, but the intensity and tension about them had ceased, which in my case, was a win-win. I’d lost track of Stacey a while ago, probably off grabbing drinks, but

    Making AmendsCHAPTER FORTYStacey's POVSilence completely enveloped the house, and somehow, that only increased my awareness of him. I regretted agreeing to Alexa's plan, but at the same time, I knew that I couldn't avoid him forever. I had to use this chance to face himhim, and bring an end to all this. Deciding that hiding in my room was not helping, I marched down stairs, heading for the kitchen. Maybe if I snacked, my nerves would cool down somewhat. I made myself a plate of cookies with a glass of milk. As soon as I was done eating, the sound of descending footsteps echoed in my ears. He was headed this way. A feeling of nausea came over me. I-I couldn't do it. I thought to myself, chickening out. It was however,too late. He already was standing in the entrance of the kitchen. Our gazes met, and we both froze in place. I recovered faster, making a quick dash to leave, but his voice stopped me in my tracks. "Stacey."The way he said my name, so sincere and vulnerable, I c

    The first Official Date: Falling Fast CHAPTER THIRTY NINE Devon’s POV "Man, you look like a rack of nerves. Are you sure you don't want my help? " I glanced back at Kai, who was lying on his bed, scrolling through his phone. Earlier before I had even started to get ready, he had already asked if I wanted help. Of course I had turned him down, but now I was regretting doing so. I don’t think I’ve ever spent this much time planning anything in my life. Tonight was going to be my first official date with Alexa as my girlfriend this time, and I wanted everything to be perfect. I wasn't really even sure why I was being so nervous—Alexa and I had been hanging out for months. We talked every day, stayed till late texting, sharing secrets, laughing until neither of us could keep our eyes open. I had seen her in just sweatpants and messy buns, and she had seen me in full panic mode the day before a physics or math test. We knew each other. Really understood one other. Tonight thoug

    Our First Official date; Yours for the Evening CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE Alexa’s POV "I can't believe this is what you thought was the best solution. Plan a road trip and then ditch me here within enemy territory as you and the love of your life go do God knows what, and be lovey dovey with each other. " Stacey grumbled for probably the fifth time since I broke the news to her that Devon and I were going on a date. I leaned back as she continuously waved around that pencil, being wary of my eye since she was working on it. "Stacey, if you feel you can't deal with it, Devon and I can always reschedule. I don't want to be the only one that's happy on this road trip. That's why I suggested it so you and Kai could get some time alone and you know...fix things. " She took a deep sigh, and then looked at me with renewed determination. "I can't do that to you. I know how much you and Devon have been looking forward to this. So, enough worrying about me. Let me finish your makeup. "

    The Night TripCHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTAlexa"Please work. Don't say no. Don't say no. "With fingers crossed, I whispered the words as I hoped that the odds would work in my favor. I tiptoed around the house, then took a peek inside of the room where I had a feeling my suspect would be. And of course I was right. There she was, inside the laundry room. "Hi mom. " I greeted, putting on my best smile. I slipped right next to her, and began folding the laundry as well. The fresh, flowery scent of the clean clothes filled my nose as we continued to fold. She looked up, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What is it, sweetie?""Nothing, " I shrugged, putting on a show of nonchalance. "Just thought I should probably help. You know, use this as mother and daughter bonding time. "I shrugged once again, playing it cool. "Awww, that's so sweet of you. " She softly pinched my cheek, before letting go. However, she narrowed my eyes at me. "What do you want sweetie? You hate doing any type of lau

    Stacey's DilemmaCHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN- PT. 2StaceyI could hardly keep with today's class, and while I was well aware of the teacher's rumbling, I couldn't keep up with the things he was saying. My mind was too preoccupied to really pay him any attention. Kai's words were still ringing loud in my head from last night. I had barely gotten any sleep, thinking about what my next course of action would be. Was I still mad? Not really, but I was still hurt. And yes, I had most definitely not yet forgiven him. I still was extremely reluctant to talk to him, but I again, I kept on remembering how sincere he sounded last night. And now, I was deeply conflicted. I kept on wondering if I should listen to him, just for closure. Besides, the look he had in his eyes... Even though I had tried to forget and put it aside and treat it as my own hallucinations, I couldn't ignore the sincerity in that stormy gaze of his. His eyes had always been intense and I knew that whenever I looked into them,

    Stacey's Dilemma CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Stacey The last person I expected to see tonight was Kai. Two years. That’s how long it had been since everything fell apart, since he betrayed me in a way I still couldn’t bring myself to fully think about. Since I had walked away and told myself I would never let him back in. But now, here he was, standing across from me in the dimly lit parking lot outside the racing venue, looking at me like he wasn’t sure if I would run or if I would fight. I wasn’t sure either. He had changed. He was taller now, leaner but stronger, his ink-black hair falling into his eyes the way it always did. His jaw was sharper, his features older, more defined. But his eyes—the same piercing grey ones that used to see right through me—held something I wasn’t ready to face. Regret. “Stacey.” His voice was lower than I remembered, but I hated that it still had the same effect on me. That it still made something inside me waver, just for a second. I crossed my ar

    Kai & Stacey: Where it all Stopped CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX Kai's POV Finally, after a long wait, the race was here. This wasn’t just any race; it was THE RACE. This was the junior championships that most of us had waited for, because this was where all the scouting of all young and promising racers began. The big shots were here, and everyone always brought out their best stunts and all, hoping to land a contract. The locker room was buzzing with pre-race excitement, conversations about what was going on, what bigshot had been spotted and how much everyone looked forward to winning echoed all around me, but my mind was somewhere else. With her. Just days before, she had bubbled up and down, her eyes sparkling with excitement and her joyful smile contagious as she talked about her plans for the race. Since the racing day was here, I had only gotten glimpses of her. I had seen Stacey earlier, stretching by the track, completely in her element. She had her game face on, that razo
