The Bad Boy's Hoodie

Chapter Forty-One: Fainted

Confront.

That's what I was going to do. I was going to confront about dating Felix. Why? Because I saw her talking to Felix and Felix kept blushing as he talked to her. And I've never seen Felix blush, then when Felix walked away from Allie's locker Steven walked by her locker and I saw Allie and Steven getting all cozy together

I wasn't having it. I'm not doing this because I like Felix, I'm doing this because I care about him. And I will not stand by Allie leading on one of my friends when she clearly likes someone else. I would do this for any of my friends.

I shut my locker and walked over to Allie's locker who was still talking to Stephen with a blush on her face.

"Hello," I greeted them both with a smile

Stephen turned his attention away from Allie, "Oh hey Mei," Stephen said

Allie looked down avoiding my eyes.

"Can I just borrow Allie for a moment?" I asked as Stephen nodded as I gestured for Allie to follow me

I went to an empty hallway where no one was at so we can talk in private.

"I know that you like Stephen," I bluntly said emotionless

"Marcus told you didn't he?" Allie said still not looking at me with a guilty face

"Yes, he did, and while I know you can't control you have feelings for why are you dating Felix? You do realize you could be leading him on right? If you don't have any feelings for him then you need to break up with right now, I will stand by letting you lead my friend on when you clearly lack no feelings for him, he'll probably be heartbroken if he finds out."

"I did have feelings for him...at first, but not anymore," Allie admitted, "I've always liked Stephen, and when I met Felix I liked him...or at least I thought I did, and I thought that dating him would be a good idea in taking my mind off of Stephen."

"Why would you want to take your mind off of Stephen?" I asked curiously

"Because I know Stephen likes me...but he has feelings for someone too and I don't want to keep giving him my heart if he ends up dating the other girl, so I thought dating Felix would help me get my mind off of Stephen but then while dating Felix I realized that I don't like him like and that I can't get over my feelings for Stephen," Allie explains

"Okay but you shouldn't date someone just because you think you have feelings for them, you have to know 100% before dating them because someone could get heartbroken in the process," I tell her sternly, "So, please I'm begging you be honest with Felix about your feelings for him and break up with him," I begged, "Also, if you don't mind me asking who's the other girl...you know that Stephen likes? I'm sure she can't be as pretty as you," I smiled nudging her arm

"Oh, she is, trust me," Allie scoffs, "Believe it or not, it's D'Arcy."

My jaw drops.

"WHAT?" I exclaimed shocked, "Wait, your joking right?" I asked

Allie shakes her head, "I wish I was, as surprising as it is Stephen and D'Arcy have been friends since they were kids, they were like best friends and they liked each other longer than he liked me."

"Wait then why is D'Arcy dating Adrian?" I asked confused, "Oh please don't tell me she's trying to make Stephen jealous," I sighed rolled my eyes

"It's one of the reasons," Allie says in a low voice

"One of the reasons?" I say lifting an eyebrow, "What's the other reason?" I ask

"I'm not allowed to say, she won't let me," Allie says looking down as the bell rings making her quickly walking away.

Lacrosse Anon's Pov:

It wasn't Miranda.

Miranda wasn't pun anon so the next person that I had on the list was Madeline. Who I had a good feeling was pun pal for sure. When I got home from school the first thing I wanted to do was take a nap, I was extremely exhausted and I just wanted to get some sleep.

But when I started to fall asleep I was woken up, by my dad in the worse possible way you can think of. I quickly stood up from my bed and grabbed my phone and keys to leave the house not wanting to stay in that house with my father.

Mei's Pov:

After I finished taking the last customer who was standing in line's order, I quickly took a big sip of water when suddenly Zach who looked exhausted, walked into the store. Zach walked up to the counter and stood in front of the cash register I was standing behind, "Hey Mei, when do you have your break?" Zach asks

"In an hour why?" I asked him

"Because I uh...need to talk to you about something," Zach says scratching the back his neck

My eyebrows furrow, "What is it? Are you okay?" I asked him concerned

Zach nods, "Yeah I am, don't worry," Zach assures me, "I'll come back later on when you get on your break so we can talk." He tells me before leaving outside

Huh. I wonder what was wrong with him, he said that he was okay but I could clearly tell that something was bothering him.

An hour later, it was finally my break time and Zach had walked in a few minutes after. I walked out and as I made my way to an empty table Zach shook his head and gestured towards his car. When we both got inside his car, I saw Zach take a deep breath.

"Look, Mei, what I wanted to tell you..." Zach starts, "I really don't want you to be upset with me," Zach says in a low voice

"Upset with you? Why would I be upset with you?" I questioned curiously

"Because-" Zach was suddenly cut off by his phone ringing

Zach checks his phone with a confused face, "Felix is calling me," He shows me his screen before answering his call, "Hello?" Zach asks, I couldn't tell what Felix was saying to Zach but I could hear some kind of mumbling, suddenly Zach's eyes widened and he looks at me with a look of panic, "Okay bye."

"What's wrong?" I asked him confused

"Adrian's in the hospital."

From that sentenced alone, I fainted.
