7: Too Close For Comfort

Chapter Seven: Too Close For Comfort

I drive home thinking how my day needs to start winding down. That Asher Mitchell is becoming a problem and I don't like difficult problems. He just refuses to back down and I am getting tired of his crap. I will have to figure out what the heck I am going to do with this boy if he keeps this up. I can't do this with him every day. Who does he think he is calling me a slut like that? What I do in my free time is none of his damn business. I sigh as I arrive to an empty home. I walk inside and set my things down.

"ALEXA GISELLE FROST!" I stop in mid-stride at the sound of my mother's voice. This can't be good. I walk up to her office to find her and my brother waiting for me. Definitely not good.

"Yes, ma'am?" I ask politely.

"Don't you--. Oh, continue, mom," my brother says. I roll my eyes at my idiot brother.

"I am told that you lost your virginity to Justin Baxter," she says. I nod because I know she wants a response. "Why didn't you tell me that you were sexually active?"

"Because you don't seem to care what I do, mother. I am safe about everything. I am on birth control and I always use condoms. I don't see where the problem is. It isn't like I am having sex at any moment possible," I explain.

"You don't have a steady boyfriend that I know of. So who are you sleeping with?" She asks.

"I don't see how that is any of your business. I am safe and not overly promiscuous. It isn't affecting my grades or my GPA and I am doing great with my extracurriculars. Where is the problem?" I am being professional about this and I have my poker face in place.

"The problem is you had sex with my best friend!" My brother finally speaks up, angry.

"Oh, so you think that was my fault? That I seduced him into sleeping with me? Why? Because he said so? Well, I will tell you that he slept with me right after my 15th birthday and I had a crush on him for two years before that. So excuse me if the first cute boy to show me affection, gets into my pants after telling me he loves me. I am sorry I was so naive to believe that he, of all people, could love a nerd like me," I say as I fight back the tears that threaten to fall.

"Oh, honey, why didn't you say something?" My mother asks me.

"I didn't want to ruin Conner and Justin's relationship. Besides, he said he would deny it anyway. I didn't think you would believe me." I turn around and walk out of my mother's office. I don't get to leave before I catch the sadness in my brother's eyes. He knew he would've believed his best friend over his dorky little sister. I sighed. The truth really does hurt sometimes.

The doorbell rings and I head the the stairs to answer it. I get there before anyone else and I pull it open right as his finger is hovering over the bell. I smile at him.

"Hello, Marco. Who is this?" I ask as I gaze at the pretty girl by his side.

"This is Haylee. I told you about her, remember?" He says as they walk into the house. She smiles at him. Yes, he told us about her. He is always talking about her. ALWAYS! It's always 'Haylee likes this' or 'Haylee can do this' and it takes a lot for me not to strangle him most of the time.

"Of course, Marco. He has said so many great things about you. I am Alexa Frost. I'm Conner's little sister." I walk over to the intercom and push the button. "Conner, Marco and Haylee are here to see you," I say and release the button. I show them the way to the sitting room and walk out of the room. I am not much for new people outside of school. It isn't my duty to be greeter and entertainer, they aren't my company and I refuse to do it, if I don't have to.
