"Oh!" Alex mumbles suddenly. She looked up at him trying to read his expression, ”You are mad because___Yeah, I see now." Alex was now talking to himself. ”This has something to do with Bella, doesn't it?” Alex asked gently. ”No!" Zoe said quickly with her eyes looking at the ground again. He sighed again, ”Zoe, are you upset that I danced with her?” Alex asked. ”Uhm! I think If you two are just going to date just say so," she muttered, avoiding his question. Zoe couldn't just let him discover that she had a thing for him, he stared at her for a long time that she had to ask him what he was thinking about. ”Well, I am thinking about the football game, precisely how you got mad at me, and last night, I guess I flattered myself to think you were a bit jealous of Bella.” Alex plainly explained. "Do you think I'm jealous?" She asked Alex, looking stunned. Apparently, she wasn't as good at hiding her crush on him as she thought. He shrugged, staring at her while keenly watching her reac
Alex jerked away from her the minute he realized himself. "Uhm Zoe! I don't know what got over me but I'm really sorry, it won't happen again. I promise!” Alex said very fast, making the words kind of fog together.They both pointedly looked in different directions. Both blushing, she had never seen Alex blushing before which was new. It made him look less like a supermodel or more. ”I don't know any more werewolves. Down on earth! Do you know what I mean?” she had to take a few deep breaths before responding."It's okay Alex, nothing really happened. I'm not even mad! It's just normal, right?” she said, trying her best to make things less awkward. He nodded slowly, not looking at her though. "Anyway, let's forget about it, we are teenagers anyway." She said with a shaky laugh. She was trying to make it some kind of joke. ”God, I am an idiot," Alex said, trying to return his smile but it seemed forced."Yeah, you are right! Just stupid kids with hormones.” Alex said. ”See you on Mond
Zoe laid back against her pillow trying to calm down. She sighed heavily with a loud puff mixed with a growl. ”Don't get mad,” Alex said. ”Too late!” she replied. ”My friends aren't as bad as you may think right now. Just, a lot of shit has happened between them and the dumbhead team of the basketball groups. Your boyfriend is excluded since we both resumed this year.” Alex said. Zoe sighed again. ”Okay, whatever but I think they are jerks for being mad at you!” she said feeling the anger slowly leave. ”Yeah, I agree.” Alex said. ”Hey Alex,” she called. ”Yes?” He answered.”Would you like to join me and Luke when we watch a movie?” she asked but he seemed to be silent. Zoe guesses he was thinking it over. ”I don't know Zoe, I get the impression that your boyfriend just really wants a date for both of you.” Alex said. ”Is it alright? but I feel bad___” Alex continued but Zoe caught him short. ”Alex? I insist that you come.” Zoe said. ”Zoe? Luke won't want me there” Alex said. ”
Alex wasn't turning to look at them because his back was still turned back. Zoe blushed and slid off from Luke's lap, ”I'm gonna get going, and thank you for letting me join your movie night.” Alex said and Walked to the door. ”Wait, you don't have to go yet.” she said half-heartedly. Alex gave her a small smile. ”Thanks though but I'm tired! Goodnight Zoe.” Alex said before walking out of the door.Zoe sat down close to Luke feeling furious. Alex says he is lonely but leaves as soon as he can! She and Luke kissed in front of him! What's the big deal? She wondered if their kissing upset him or what? Zoe sighed. Luke kept smiling like he had achieved a goal. ”Hmm looks like it's just both of us, again!” Luke says, trying to kiss her again but she moved out of his way. ”What's wrong?" Luke asked, surprised. ”Did you know Alex was coming out from the bathroom when you kissed me?” she asked Luke, getting pissed already. He looked so guilty.”Why did you do that Luke?" She demanded. ”Com
"Jealousy is a bitch," Zoe babbled inside her mind. ”Hey Sandra, sorry I haven't been around in a while but I'm back and I'd like my lips to be Pierced.” Alex said. She surveyed Alex's face, making Zoe more jealous. ”Unfortunately, I have always seen you as an inked guy rather than a metal guy,” She mused. She glanced at Zoe then back at Alex. ”Oh, right? Sandra, this is my good friend Zoe,” Alex said, smiling in Zoe's direction. She smiled and nodded at me. I gave a small smile in return, I wanted her filthy arms off Nathan. ”So, you want your lips done. Huh?” She said and stepped away from Alex to get something, Zoe sighed immediately. ”Yep, can you do it today, or do I have to come back?” Alex asked, following her to the back of the shop. Zoe didn't hesitate but to follow as well. ”Of course, I can do it today, not like I have anything to do.” She laughed and gestured to the almost empty shop. ”Damn holiday, makes everyone leave town or spend time with their family! Nobody want
The week went by quickly, Luke and Zoe do talk on the phone and sometimes even do video calls. Dad had called her mum and to wish them a happy celebration in advance, Zoe had called Alex almost every day to make sure he hadn't changed his mind about coming over for dinner, and football. Zoe had talked Alex into coming to watch the big game with us. Zoe guessed she was pretty persistent! Oh well, there could be a lot of worse things she could do for him to come. On the morning of the celebration. Her mom and her had woken up early to start preparing dinner because for some unknown reason to her! Everyone eats early on this specific holiday.She had thrown on a pair of milky jeans and a pair of crop tops. She had not been much of a cook as she was a baker, her mum was just the only main ingredient in the kitchen. Without her it would be a total disaster, she mostly handled the things that had to do with the oven and while Lilian did the most on the stove. Luckily it was going to be j
Zoe's wish came true, three days after the celebration, and Luke was back. Apparently, he wasn't really liking it at his dad's place even if his dad's place was practically where he grew up, he thinks he liked it more over here. Immediately after Luke got home, he gave her a call since she wasn't at home! Zoe had gone to see Dora's place. Zoe told him she was going to be home very soon. Luckily, she still had another day of vacation before school resumed.She felt surprised by how bad she wanted to see Luke. It felt like a physical need, This made her feel better that Luke was still the one! She decided that from now on she was going to look at Alex as a friend and nothing else. Maybe no more call conversation, just texting? "No, she was too close with Alex." She mumbled to herself. No more holidays together. no matter how she hated Alex being alone she knew having him spend time with her family made him even closer to her life.Of course, she didn't want to shove him away completel
Zoe had just broken into random tears of relief in front of her boyfriend. How much more embarrassing could she be? sigh. ”Better?" he asked when she pulled back. ”Yeah, sorry I cried, that was pretty dumb.” she muttered sheepishly! He shrugged."That's fine but a little warming, next time would be great though,” Luke said smiling one of his most cutest smiles. She wiped the remaining tears and smiled back.He smiled and sat up next to her, Zoe sat on his lap and kissed his lips. "I'm not mad at you but why did you want to wait?" Zoe asked. He pursed his lips before answering."I don't know but I think we should have sex when you are completely ready," Luke muttered. ”I'm ready Luke, truly ready. I don't know how much I can hold it but today wasn't just the day.” she said. He nodded, "yeah, you are much more ready than I have ever seen before! That sexy bra for instance." Luke said and gestured to my chest, she blushed but waited for him to continue.”I have never seen you so... So,
It had been two weeks since Zoe got into such an accident and hadn't opened her eyes. Alex felt bad, sad, miserable, just call it whatever you want to. I'm only Glad that after telling Mr. Zander the entire truth he still didn't resent me. It was snowy today and I sat down at the hospital bed with my hand intertwined with Zoe's. I know how much she cherishes it, "water! Water," I heard the faint voice of Zoe. I thought I had heard wrong as I placed my ear close to her and just as I heard, Zoe needed water. I couldn't console the joy as I rushed to get her some water. I missed her so much and I hope she doesn't resent me, after taking the water she held my hand into her. "What about your son? I wouldn't object if you want to be with him please just don't leave me! I don't know who I would be without you," she finally said. I couldn't believe she still cared about me after what I had done. I must be lucky because the Goddess had blessed me with my true soul mate, I could notice the t
"Where have you been, you got me worried," Zoe said as she hugged him very tight, I mean more than she has ever done but he did something shocking, and he pulled away."We have to talk, Zoe," he said, making Zoe anxious. Zoe wondered if what she feared the most had happened. She marveled at if he had gotten tired of her. "All ears, you can tell me anything and I am willing to listen," she said, trying to hold his hand tightly. "You remember I told you that I was going for the after-party?" he said with a sad grin plastered on his face. Zoe hated the fact that he was moody and she wished she could make him smile."Yes, well?" Zoe asked in much curiosity. "Well, I got drunk and I had a one-night stand with some total stranger! A human girl and I regret it," he said bowing his head in shame. To be honest, Zoe didn't know how to react but she just had to let it go if she truly loved him. She could see how sorry he was and she just couldn't let him feel worse even if it was hurting her b
"Darling? We are going to miss you," Dad said while hauling Zoe closer for a tight hug and perking her on the forehead. When he was done with his pitiful goodbye it was Lillian's turn. "I would miss you so much baby Zoe, I mean college would be a life-changing experience in the human world! You are going to leave far away from home," she said in between hugs as she rubbed Zoe's back.Zoe just couldn't help but let out a drop of tears. "I'm going to miss you guys both, I promise," Zoe said as she used the back of her hands to clean the drop of tears that touched her already done makeup. "Moreover, Alex and Dora are both going to be with me," Zoe said, assuring them that she would be fine.They were still exchanging goodbyes when Dora's driver pulled up in front of their home. "Bitch, you need to hurry your ass or we might miss our plane," she yelled, making Zoe's dad hurriedly help her out with the luggage. Zoe was about to slide into the car when she got a text from Alex. Alex and Z
The school year had come to an end and all that the students talked about was prom. Zoe had seen Alex in school once in a while, he wasn't much into people the way he normally was. Zoe was going to ask Dora but she didn't want her to get the wrong idea. The more she saw him in school. The more he looked sick to her, the prom was always something every teenager tends to be happy about. I mean they get to be asked to prom by their crush, boyfriends, and friends. Most importantly they get to wear some fancy gowns and suits. Luke had asked Zoe to prom and she had agreed, not that she could turn him down! Right? He was her boyfriend after all.Bella had moved on from Alex which Zoe was glad about. She sometimes talks about him casually with her but she tends to brush off anything about him, she had found another guy to obsess about. She always talked about him every time they met up, and Zoe guessed he was their new neighbor.Dora, and Parker we're still the best of crazy couples in schoo
Zoe immediately tried to get to the door of their Bella's but she was quick to throw her a punch in the face causing a nosebleed which Zoe totally deserved. Zoe's things were thrown outside. Zoe tried to open the door but she had locked her outside. "Bella, what about we talk about this! You totally misunderstood whatever you must have seen." Zoe said, hoping she would understand. "I really hate you Zoe and I hope you get into an accident and die, how could you do this to me." She said amidst tears. Zoe understood she was heartbroken and needed some space, I mean Bella had every right to be furious. Zoe turned to notice Alex still standing there, he was about to come closer. "Alex, just go home already! this was enough drama already for me," Zoe said walking past him and entering her car, she just couldn't believe this was happening.Zoe decided to place her key in her steering and zoom off but she just couldn't help herself to drive home because her hands were quite shaky. She co
The day before Bella's birthday she called and asked Zoe to help her babysit her cousins. Apparently, they were giving her tons of trouble, and if Zoe wanted her friend to stay sane. She needed to help her out. Zoe had to get up early and go over to her house, within the first few moments of being there with her cousins, Ricky and Ronnie. Zoe realized that Bella had been totally dramatic, they were fine and had no issue.Zoe thought Bella was probably bored and wanted somebody to talk to. Which kind of pissed her off, Zoe felt like she could be sleeping at home rather than being in her quiet house. Zoe could be sleeping at home while hugging her pillow tightly. Instead, she was stuck with Bella watching some freaking cartoon. Both her cousins are under five years old. It's not like they can watch MTV and keep themselves entertained. Zoe was just reading a cute message from Luke when a notification popped up from Alex. She hesitated before reading it. What was she going to tell him
"Oh my Gosh, will you please stop making faces at that baby and help me before Dora probably shows up?" Bella said, annoyed. It was the third time she had said it and right now was the fourth. Bella's parents had decided she had her birthday party at a fancy hotel, her dad apparently knows the owner, so they got a discount.Zoe and Dora and a few other girls were invited to spend the night at the hotel. Ordering room service and getting a manicure, her birthday was a few more days but she asked Zoe to come early and set up a bunch of decorations in the room they had reserved. Balloons, and streamers! That kind of crap. They were hanging stuff up when a woman with a baby girl walked by.Obviously, Zoe had to go see the little princess. Who can really resist a pup? "Sorry, Bella," Zoe muttered before chuckling. She went back to what she was doing afterward. "We should go swimming when we are done, the pool is awesome here," Bella said. "They have a hot tub right?" Zoe asked. "Mm, hm."
Anyway, it's Tuesday night! January is just about to finish. A very crappy month in Zoe's opinion. Nothing seemed to work out, sigh. Zoe, Bella, and Dora are chilling in Dora's gigantic bed. They were going through her enormous closet trying on a different outfit, Bella was helping her choose what to wear and Zoe just lay on the bed staring at them. Zoe has to admit that she was proud of how quickly Bella dropped Alex out of their conversation. Out of her phone and basically out of her life, maybe she finally realized that there is more of life than boys. This was the reason why soulmates or mates are hard to believe. Some married couples who believe they are soulmates are divorced or having quarrels and killing one another somewhere.That sounds really hypocritical coming from Zoe though. I mean the girl who is torn in between two guys, ahh well! "Oh my gosh, I look fat in this dress," Dora complained in front of the mirror. Zoe was stretched on her bed now playing games on her ph
During a later class, Zoe and Bella were discussing her birthday which was approaching soon! "Well, I did want to spend my birthday with Alex but that is not going to happen anymore," Bella said as her face darkened for a second before she smiled again. "I was thinking you, Dora and a few other girls could have a sleepover at my house or something." She said,"Sounds cool but what gift do you want?" Zoe asked. "Hmm, surprise me!" she said. "Bell, I have been trying to come up with a gift idea-" Zoe tried to say but Bella was quick to cut her off. "Fine, how about I make a list of random things I want and you can choose one for me?" she suggested. "Yes, that much better," Zoe said as the teacher handed out an assignment that kept them busy for the rest of the class. Afterward, they were heading to biology when Zoe spotted Alex down the hallway coming in their direction! "Uh," Zoe mumbled. "What, oh, I'll be in here! Let me know when he is gone," Bella said when she noticed Alex. She
