Chapter 3: Alexis


I'm laying on my bed, hours afer school, and I still can't stop thinking about Justin. Ever since today at school, when he was flirting, in the hallway...

Stop it, Alexis, just stop it. Don't let him get in your head.

I get out my algebra book and start to work on my homework. Alright, so, if x=13.97 + 0.78, then what is y in..... ugh, there is no way I can concentrate on algebra right now. I close my book, open my phone, and call Alyssa.

She answers on the third ring. "Hello?"

"Hey Aly."

"Hey Alex!" I can hear her t.v. in the background. "What's up?"

"Well, I can't stop -"

"Thinking of Justin?"

"How'd you know?" I didn't think it was THAT obvious.

"Alex, I'm your best friend. You're good at hiding things, just not from me."

I sigh. She's right. "So how do I get him out of my head?"

Now she sighs. "Honestly, I don't know. You gotta admit, he is pretty hot."

"Yeah, I guess. But whatever. You know, he's just -"

I hear in the background, "ALYSSA! GET OFF THE PHONE! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" and Aly says, "I gotta go. I'll text you later," the hangs up.

I set my phone down mext to me. Still thinking of Justin, I close my eyes, and fall asleep.



I wake up at 4:00 in the morning. Wow, I must've been exhausted. I sit up, and notice there's a blanket on me. Good ol' Kate, always taking care of me.

I close my eyes again, trying to go back to sleep, and then realize that I'm not tired anymore, and there's no way I'm going back to sleep. I climb out of bed and go take a shower.

After my shower, I head back to my room. I pull out my favorite pair of acid wash shorts and my purple MTV t-shirt and get dressed. Then I lay down on my bed and think. For about two seconds. Then I get bored and pull out the book I'm reading, Dear John. I read for three hours.

By the time I'm done reading, it's about 7:00 and I'm still wide awake. I head downstairs for breakfast, and take my time eating, to stall. Then I go upstairs and flat iron my hair so it's sleek and shiny, and put on my makeup. By the time I'm all ready, it's 7:30.

I walk downstairs, and Kate looks at me. "Shouldn't you be at on your way to school?"

I nod. "Yeah, I'm about to leave." I slip on some purple flip flops and grap my school bag. "Okay, I'll see you later."

She nods. "Alright."

I walk out the door, and head to school.



Ten minutes later, I'm at my locker, and I feel like someone is staring at me. Sure enough, when I look down the hall, Justin is staring at me. When he sees me looking at him, he smiles sexily and winks. I roll my eyes and turn back to my locker. I'm about to go to homeroom, but Alyssa walks up.

"Justin's staring at you."

I sigh. "I know."

She studies me for a second. "Well, its no wonder he's staring at you, your eyshadow really makes the green in your eyes pop!"

I roll my eyes. "Whatever, Aly." The bell rings, and we wave goodbye and hurry to class.

I sit down in homeroom, and Justin smiles at me. "Hey," he says.

I don't reply. I take out my book and read for the rest of homeroom.
