Her suspension passes by surprisingly fast. She wastes time, spends several days at parties, in random places, meets random strangers, and often, does not return home until dawn. She doesn't mind this lifestyle. It is so easy for her to get out of her suffocating thoughts and ignore them when she's surrounded with people. She doesn't have to think. But she is unnerved by the silence from Blair, as she steps into the classroom wordlessly, not even saying a word to Lena, who is besides her.
She had expected something. But so far, she has received nothing but radio silence. None of them have even spoken to her in the past three days. It does not bother her, but something is off. Something is wrong. She cocks her head, asking the teacher politely if she can be dismissed. The teacher visibly raises an eyebrow, but she waves Alexis off, allowing her to go. Alexis ignores the glance Lena is giving her, turning the corner quickly.
She knows exactly where Calliope and Simone are right now, and she also knows they have a tendency to not have any idea how to keep their fucking mouths shut. Adorable. She swings open the locker room door slowly, making sure to make minimal noise as she inches in. She doesn't have time to waste. She has to execute all her plans in the next month or so.
"Oh, he's fine" A voice murmurs, and she recognizes it. Simone, who is clearly fangirling over something. Calliope murmurs something back, but her voice is too low for Alexis to comprehend. She inches closer to them, delicately stepping. She does not have the liberty to get caught. She can't get caught.
She loses out on her leverage if she gets caught. And that is when someone shoves into her, and two people start giggling, staring at her surprised figure. "You have to get better then that at hiding, Alexis," Calliope says, and Alexis hates to say it, but they've got her. For the first time ever, Calliope has gotten the better of her. She smiles, but her smile is full of acid, angry and bitter "We already know you come here to spy on us. We've seen you before"
Simone crosses her arms across her chest defensively, her eyes flashing as she speaks "Oh, and we heard Blair and Parker broke up, thanks to you" She tiredly stares back at them, one with frizzy but pretty hair, and the other with straight controllable hair and honey eyes, both gazing straight at her.
"If you already knew, why the fuck did you ask?" She hotly says, crossing her arms as a bored, glazed expression crosses her features. "I worry about both of you. How are you the brains of the operation, Calliope?"
Calliope doesn't blink "Just confirming. And it's because I keep my mouth shut when I learn things and leverage it for later. You could do that" Calliope slowly says, inching closer to Alexis, who does not blink. Just looking for more gossip to spread on the rumor mill. Alexis thinks, but she does not say it. She does not see the point of picking a fight with these two girls. A fight is what they want, and that is exactly why she cannot give it to them.
"Okay" She responds simply, and Calliope and Simone exchange wary glances. Simone's gaze is filled with apprehension as she stares Simone down again.
