All Chapters of Alexa and the Badboy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

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.

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
