Chapter 22

"Beep Beep Beep"
"Ohh fuck off" I screamed at my alarm.
I turned it off and dragged my lazy body into the bathroom.
Same old morning Routine nothing new.
I took my clothes and placed them on my bed.
Tbh I was in the mood for breakfast.
So I jogged into the kitchen and searched for something edible.
Nothing I like except the same old granola bars.
I grabbed two of them and sprinted back to my room.
Ughh life is so boring I ate my granola bars and changed into my clothes.
I curled my hair and did my makeup.
Something inside me is changing every day I feel like wearing more makeup I guess I didn't feel confident and happy.
I took my phone and looked at the time.
7:16 let's listen to some music.
An hour and a half I jammed to Shawn Mendes' new song.
I danced in my room and jumbed on my bed singing like some kid.
Chris entered the room laughing.
My face turned red and I paused the music.
"Hey we're leaving ready?" asked Chris.
"Yeah I have to take my bag" I grabbed my bag and we walked to his car.
"So after school we're going to do this project at your place alright?" I asked.
"yes mam even though you're younger than me you're really bossy" he said.
I playfully opened my mouth and smacked his arm.
"How dare you?" I asked sadly.
"Sorry it won't happen again" he said holding my hand.
I smiled and looked out of the window.

--------------------------------------------------------

I was on my way to my locker as I felt hands cover my eyes.
"Who am I ?"asked the high pitched voice.
"Brent take your hands off my face" I said.
He did as I said and looked at me.
"Someone's in a bad mood" he said.
I took my books and close my locker so I could face him.
"Sorry didn't mean to sound angry"
"No problem"he said.
"So where are you heading to?" he asked.
"Umm History thank God " I said.
I actually love history it is very interesting.
"You love history too? Wow it's my favourite subject" said Brent.
" Yeah mine too" I said.
We hugged goodbye and I entered the classroom.
I approached the teachers desk and handed him my homework.
He smiled and I walked to my seat.
"Hey" I heard someone whisper.
I turned around and there she was the jealous girlfriend.
"Hey" I replied smiling a bit I didn't want her to think that I hate her.
"Brent gave me a promise ring it's so beautiful he's the best" she said showing me the ring.
"Really that's nice" I said through my clenched jaw.
"Yeah he called me his princess and the love of his life. " she smiled.
"Did I asked?" I snapped.
"Hey Alexis don't be mad he likes me more than you.
Guys like girls with an perfect shape you know?
Something they can hold and grabb  and obviously you don't have anything to grabb"she said.
Oh it's on if she wants to fight she messed with the wrong person.
"If you knew how close I am to snatch that ring then you would stop.
Second of all you really think he loves you ? ahhh bullshit.
So if you want to keep that 'boyfriend' of yours then you better shut up and look for someone else to fight with because I'm warning you if you don't I'll take my nail and grab your fucking eyeball that looks like shit compared to mine" I said air quoting boyfriend.
"Do you really think you can take Brent away from me.
He doesn't like you don't you get it?" she said.
"He doesn't like me huh if you only knew" I sassed.
"What does that mean" she asked.
"I said leave me alone does stupidity actually hurt.
Go look for another boy you can use"
"What gives you the right to talk to me like that"
"America what gave you the right to look like shit?
Suddenly she stood up and punched me right into my face.
Thank God class hadn't start yet.
Everyone faced me and waited for my reaction.
This is the most embarrassing moment ever.
I felt a warm liquid dripping on my shirt it was blood.
I used my hand to hold my nose and looked at her.
"You know what you are nothing worth to fight with" I spoke calmly.
I took my school bag and exited the class.
She really had the nerve to hit me.
Quickly I walked to the bathroom and grabbed some paper towels.
On my way to my locker I spotted Brent.
"Oh please don't see me please" I prayed in my head.
I turned around and tried to hide.
But I heard someone calling my name oh help.
"What" I screamed.
He looked at me and I saw pain in his eyes I knew he felt sorry for me.
"Alexis you're bleeding" he said
"No shit "I sniffed.
"Tell me who did that to you?" he said
"No let's go to the nurse" I said grabbing his wrist and dragging him to the nursing room.
When we entered the nurse's office the nurse wasn't here.
I sat on a chair and faced Brent who  looked at me with pitty.
"Please tell me who did that" he said.
"No it's not that important"I said.
"Alexis it's not important don't tell me that you're hurt" he screamed.
I couldn't take it anymore longer and stood up so I can scream.
"It was your stupid girlfriend she punched me and now I'm bleeding.
That shit had the nerve to touch me and I don't want to see her again" I screamed plopping into my chair.
Brent was really disappointed and I knew it but it's not my fault right?
The nurse entered the room and looked at me.
"God what happened to you?" she said.
"I-I tripped over my leg?
Yes I tripped over my leg" I said.
"Ok let's start" she said.
She treated my nose and I did my best not to cry.
"So done who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Alexis Morrison" I said.
She smiled and wrote something into her book
"You and your boyfriend can head back to class take this and place it on your nose" she said giving me an ice bag.
We exited the room and I faced Brent.
I smiled dragged him into the janitors closet.
We faced each other and smiled.
"So why are we here?" he asked.
"I don't know maybe I wanted some alone time with you" I said.
"So can you remember as you said 'You know who I like'? " he asked.
My smile slowly faded and I sighted.
"Yeah why?"I asked.
"I think you meant me" he said.
I leaned in and laid a soft kiss on his lips.
"I think you are right" I said laughing.
"Why are you doing this to me?" he asked.
"What am I doing?"I laughed.
"Too much" he said laughing.
He leaned in but the stupid bell rang which made me laugh.
"Shall we?"he asked.
"Yes we shall"I linked our arms and walked out of the janitors closet.
We went to my locker and I grabbed my health notebook.
