Cheers To Puberty

Chapter 13. I'm blue

Alexandra's POV

Yesterday my mom took me shopping after the doctors appointment to make me feel good, but once she got to know that I really don't like shopping we went back home and stuffed our faces with chocolate chip cookies. My mom said she would allow it only for the day, so I definitely took advantage of that.

And the bag my mom suddenly had in the waiting room came from the pharmacy. During my appointment she went out and bought me a pack of condoms 'so I wouldn't have to'. I sealed my lips about already having a pack and just smiled awkwardly while accepting the 'gift'.

She tries, and that's what counts.

In the evening I called with Ava for a whole hour. I haven't seen her since monday and a lot has happened in the past days. I spilled all the beans about Nick and his stories and she told me to just ditch the guys, telling me he's not worth the terror he puts me through. Atleast for a couple weeks, till he has found another girl to talk shit about.

I have never heard Ava being so pro separation before. She was always the 'let's hug it out' type and pushed people to stop fighting and make up. I guess this is even for her a few steps to far to just 'hug it out'.

Oh well...

It's lunch time right now and I'm not sure what to do today. Maybe I'm joining Ava or Lucas. Although Lucas has been sitting with us during lunch for this whole week. Okay, Ava it is.

I walk to my locker still in thought, not realising there's a person standing next to it. It's a 'my head is in the clouds' kind of day.

No scratch that, kind of week.

"Benjiiii...what are you doing here?" I say with fake enthousiasm. I know he doesn't know and he couldn't do anything about it, but it was still a dick move.

"Hey" he says almost afraid of my reaction. "I know what happened... And I uhh.. wanted to apologize"

I sigh "Did Oliver tell you?" He laughs awkwardly. "Yeah, sometimes I can be a bit oblivious... I know."

I chuckle. There's no need for further confirmation. It's well known.

"I would have never thought that you two would end up together." Benjamin says while shuddering like it's the most disgusting thing in the world. "You're like my brother and sister. That's so gross."

I smile at his words. "No worries, it was clearly a one time thing." And he just nods.

"Wanna join me during lunch? I wanna show you something" he says all of a sudden and completely hyped up now.

"Uhm, yeah sure. Why not? Let me just change my books real quick." I quickly open my locker and take care of my books.

"What do you want to show me?" I ask Benji. "You'll see" he says with a wide grin as he guides me to the stairwell at the back of the school.

"Why use these stairs? The ones at the entrance were much closer."

"Well, if we took that one, we couldn't get to the roof." Benji replies with a cheeky smile on his face and wiggling eyebrows. He opens the door to the roof and walks ahead of me. Suddenly he turns around, spreads his arms wide and says "Behold!"

Raising one eyebrow I slowly turn around to see what he's talking about. "Oh wow, Benji, did you do this? It's so good!" Completely shocked at what I see in front of me.

Half the wall is covered with graffiti. You can clearly see our headmister displayed as an evil giant in some kind of fight. But the art is not done yet so you can't see what he is fighting against.
