The New Girl

The New Girl: Chapter 10

The next morning, Becky and her friends decided to meet up at the Rollins' cafe before school for the grand opening. The four of them were sitting outside while customers filed inside to get in line. 

"Looks like they're not going to have a problem getting business." Alexa said. 

"It's not that big of a surprise, parents may not know how to manage their marriage but they've sure as hell always done well at managing business together." Dean commented. 

Becky thought over what Dean said about Seth's parents marriage. 

"I'm going to go next door to grab a few things for class." Alexa told everyone as she got up from the table. 

Dean, Becky and Kota enjoyed their coffee while Alexa walked to the supplies store next door. She made her way inside and grabbed a pack of pencils before making her way over to find a new binder. It was then that the store door opened, causing the a few bells to ring. Finn Balor walked in wearing a baseball cap. He was on his way to the cleaning section when he saw a small blonde trying to reach for a binder on a rather high shelf. Finn took a few steps towards the girl before recognizing who she was. It would have been smart for him to steer clear of her but something about her drew him in. 

"Need some help?" Finn asked curiously. 

Alexa looked over and let out an embarrassing laugh.

"Oh um, sure." She said as she stepped back shyly. 

"Which one?" Finn asked. 

"Pink." Alexa said a little quietly. 

Finn reached up and grabbed the pink binder. He gave a charming smile as he handed it to her. 

"Thank you." Alexa said as she began to blush. 

Finn held the smile on his face as she began to walk away.

"Do you go to school near here?" Finn blurted out, not knowing how else to start a conversation. 

Alexa looked back with a nervous laugh.

"Um, yeah. Fitzgerald Prep." Alexa told him. 

"Oh, fancy." Finn joked. 

"You?" Alexa asked with a little more confidence. 

"Eastside high." Finn lied.

"Oh, Eastside. That's-." Alexa began to say.

"Unfortunate?" Finn interupted her. 

Alexa let out an adorable laugh. 

"I'm Finn." He introduced himself as he offered out his hand. 

"Alexa." She told him as they shook hands. 

At the cafe, Becky and Dean noticed that Kota seemed to be a little occupied with something on this phone. He kept shaking his head and making disapproving faces. 

"What's up with you this morning?" Dean asked. 

"Hmm?" Kota said. 

"You haven't taken your eyes off your phone since we've been here." Becky told him. 

Kota took a deep breath and put his phone down. 

"Sorry, I was just reading something." Kota said unfortunately. 

"Deano?! A man asked as he approached the table.

Dean looked back in surprie to find Seth's father standing there.
