Hey guys sorry if anyone was waiting for this. If so to try and make it up I'm hoping to have another update either later tonight or tomorrow. This chapter unintentionally fits in slightly with current events and news so bonus on that one. Anyway I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading.
Alexander (P.O.V)
In the next few weeks things had pretty much gone back to normal after our little argument. Well almost normal. Daniella came round to the house a lot more since we were study partners for English and Spanish, we sucked at both so she came over a lot. My new study buddy meant I didn't study with Lexi and Reece anymore, which was different and I missed it sometimes but I had the same trouble areas as Daniella so it made more sense for us to work together. Lexi spent more time with Davie than she did before, a lot more time, I'm still trying to deal with that one. We didn't spend anywhere near as much time together as before, things had changed just like Lexi said. There were no arguments though, and the guys had all forgiven me the minute they saw Lexi back at school with a smile. So all was going well for a while. Soon we moved onto poetry in English and we were moved seats based on the results of a pop quiz. I ended up next to Daniella again since we both suck but Lexi was moved to the other side of the classroom since she aced it. That's when all hell broke loose.
Alexis (P.O.V)
We had been assigned these seats for poetry a few classes ago so I was used to the incessant gossiping from the bimbo's behind me. They all looked the exact same if you ask me; bottle blond hair, extensions, fake tan, fake eye lashes, three inches of war paint on their faces. Even their school uniform was the same, white shirt buttoned to the top tucked into a stretchy school skirt and a neon bra underneath, ridiculous. This is a catholic school surely having your underwear clearly on display must be against the school uniform code or something?
I attempted to tune them out as Mr Young was handing out the poem assignments to each group. When their gossiping caught my attention for the completely wrong reason.
"I heard his dad found out and totally kicked his ass, their like really religious you know church every Sunday bible bashing type people who don't want a bender as a son"
Bimbo number two piped in with "I heard he only went gay cos he can't get a chick, which dunt surprise me with that god awful green in his hair, I mean that's like fashion suicide haahaaaa"
Oh my god their talking about little Mark. GET ME AWAY FROM THEM OR ILL KILL THEM.
My hands clenched into fists under the table and I turned to glare at the stupid group of girls before raising my hand and asking through clenched teeth "sir can I be moved seats please"
Mr Young's response seemed a little shocked at the request "Alexis, the seating arrangement was chosen to suit the needs of everyone in the class and the group work is based on the seating chart so I'm afraid you'll need to stay where you are."
"Sir please" I begged. I wouldn't last long next to these horrible peopleI continued to glare at the group of girls behind me, however they either didn't notice my attention or didn't seem to care as their nasty gossiping continued in a hushed whisper throughout the teacher's explanation.
"Well if he can't get a girl what makes him think he can get a guy I mean come on have you seen the freak?"
"Gays are just disgusting, he's such a homo. EWWW, I mean we're in the same building as him right now yuk"
"Someone should teach the freak a lesson"
"It's already taken care of, I've spoke to the guys there all for beating the gay out of him"
