I hope we meet in every universe.

boundaries

I was walking to school without Mel today. She didnt go since she was really sick, snd couldnt even get out of bed without help. I was texting her all morning because the thought of me without her at school seemed so boring. I walked into the library and sat down. Focusing on my school work I wanted to get ahead on, I felt a tap on my shoulder. And there she was. Lana. "Hey Alexa." She whispered. She sat down by me and touched my knee. "Oh its you." I replied and moved my leg. "Look I just wanted to tell you what I was goimg to say that day. I just felt like it was something actually between me and you.." She responded. "Okay then say it and get it over with." I answered and put down my pencil. She paused and her face actually turned pink. "So its been going on for a while.. since the week after you got here a while. I like you Alexa. I dont know what Im doing wrong that you're acting do cold towards me, but I hope this changes that." She said and put her hand on my hand. I quickly moved my hand and told her, "If you know me and Mel are talking, why do you think I like you? Im sorry you feel im cold towards you but I always have a reason for something. You didnt respect my boundaries or Mel's. We cant be friends anymore or anything else." I grabbed all my stuff and walked away.

As I walked out, I heard Adrian yelling my name. "Hey Alexa wait up fool!" He yelled. "Hi." I replied. "So I heard you tell Lana allat. Shes a whore bruh you really saved yourself." He told me. "Oh I didnt know. But im already talking to someone so I just told her off. She was already touching me weirdly before that." I said. "Broo who you talking to?? I wanna ask someone for her number but im afraid she gon say no." He answered. "Im talking to Melanie you have talked to her before. And who you wanna ask out? Do I know her?" I asked hoping he would say Isa. He went quiet and replied with, "You know her to well.. can you please not tell her though." I nodded yes and he told me about Isa. "Omfg I knew it dude." I told him. "Bruh shut your ass up no you didnt!" He yelled and started laughing. "No im dead ass I swear I had a feeling." I replied. "You know her well, you think she might like me?" He asked. "Oh yea she already likes you. You just got dropped alot as a kid so you dont see those signs you know?" I answered him and started laughing. I was glad he wasnt homophobic or anything because he was alright. He is a good friend. "Imma jump you bruhh" He told me and we both walked away to our first periods.

As third period came around, I practically ran to go tell Isa in person. "BRO ISA!!" I yelled. She turned around and came up to me. "YES??" She yelled back. "You wont believe me but I swear its the truth. Me and Adrian were talking in the morning and he said he liked you, and wanted to ask for your number." I told her quickly. "WHAT? Omg you better not be lying to me Lex!!" She yelled and started jumping. Our teacher looked at us weird, and I saw Ale walk in. Isa then started telling her what I said and soon enough, they were both jumping up and down. "Haha I better be getting your fruit cup for lunch Isa!!" I yelled. "Omg you will Lex I swear im so happy now." She replied. The lesson started and we had to shut up.

"Easy practice today girls!!" My coach yelled at my teammates. "Get in two lines and make them even." He said as we all scrambled to get with our friends. We started doing some conditioning and then later on we moved to cone drills, then feet work, and then feet work with the ball. It was simple today, probably from our other win last week. The score was 4-2, and I scored two of them. We were on a winning streak since the beginning of the season and he was really proud. "If you girls keep it up we can make it to playoffs and we can win league even." He would tell us. We were definitely winning league, but the playoffs was another issue. I was semi injured from my hipbone, and some of our other starters were injured. They could still play, but they had to be careful. We worked on our stretches and then shooting drills. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. "Rodriguez! Come over here!" My coach yelled to me. I jogged up to him and stood there. "We have two back to back games next week. I want you to rest for one game since its a non league game, but for the next one its the final to win league. Rest up for it and take advantage." He told me. "Alright, that sounds okay to me." I replied and then he let me go home.

I called Mel on my way back home.

"Hello?" She whispered from the other end of the call. She sounded sick.

"Hi Mel how are you?" I asked.

"Im doing better, I can get up and Im not that sick anymore. So im going to school tommorow!" She whispered loudly.

"So I have to tell you something.. about Lana." I told her.

"Omg what did she do!" She said.

I told her everything she told me and what I told her.

"Omg no wonder why she acted like that with me!" She replied.

"Yea I knew something was up with her." I answered back.

"Well atleast we know now why she did what she did." Mel responded.

"Haha yea but I just wanted to tell you that." I told her.

"Thanks lex Im glad you told her off haha" She replied.

"I know she needs to know im talking to you and only you. She isnt even on my friends list haha" I said.

"Yess she does!" Mel whispered loudly and started laughing.

We called for a bit then we hung up since I got home.
