When Nightmares Become Reality

Chapter 15

"Just drop it already," Alex snapped annoyed, after I begged him to tell me what he meant earlier.

"You already know that I am not going to until you tell me," I snorted.

"I know," he mumbled exasperated and clearly regretting his words this morning.  I laughed at him as we turned onto the street that lead to our school. I think I have officially lost my mind or was still in shock. I had a feeling I knew what he meant, and if it meant what I think it did then normally I would be screaming and shouting. yet somehow here I was laughing and smiling like a kid in a candy store.

"So tell me, since you know there's no chance of me letting this go," I smiled satisfied with myself. We pulled into a parking space at the school. He sighed and looked over at me. A sudden smirk grew on his face. I don't like that he's smirking. It can only mean trouble.

"I know how to make you drop the subject," he said through his huge smirk.

"And I know how to burn you alive," I faked a sweet smile back at him.

He rolled his eyes, then tucked a lose strand of hair behind my ear. He looked into my eyes for what seemed like years. I couldn't make out the emotion or thoughts flying through his green eyes, but they were clearly distant. He let out a sigh.

"I think you and I both know what I meant," he whispered before quickly getting out of the car. I let out a frustrated groan. "Stupid vague answers," I mumbled under my breath, getting out of the car. I heard him let out a deep chuckle. We started towards the school when our path was blocked by none other than, the one and only, annoying, Taylor Henderson. Her dark brown hair was perfectly curled and her skirt was too short and tight like always. Her little minions falling right into place behind her. Sierra looked at Alex lustfully while twirling her blonde hair. I tried to hold in my laughter. Like every other girl in this school, he slept with her one time and she now believed they were soul mates. Of course she would never make a move on him because Taylor had a crush on any guy I would talk to and her followers knew not to mess with a guy she was after.

"Hey Alex," Taylor greeted him warmly before turning to me and coldly saying, "Melrose."

"Taylor, to what do we owe this little, um, encounter," Alex questioned.

"I thought the saying was pleasure not encounter," one her blonde bimbo, followers said, earning glares from all of us.

"Shut up you idiot. He was obviously being rude," Sierra told her.

"Two points for the blonde on the right," I commented reoffering to Sierra, who caught on to what Alex meant.

"Where's Prince Charming? Did he finally come to his senses and leave you," Taylor quizzed me.

"Nope. He's away doing stuff but should be back soon. Sorry if that ruins your whole plan of trying to steal him from me," I growled back. Alex placed his hand on back, as if trying to calm me down.

"Wow he's only been gone for a couple of days and you are already running to another man. I always knew you were a whore but I never thought you worked that face," Taylor commented trying to hit a nerve.

"I always knew you were stupid but really you couldn't be further from right then you are now."

"Guess it won't bother you if I do this then," she said moving up on Alex. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her lips attacked his. I felt rage pulsing through my body. I took a deep breath. It's Taylor, I shouldn't except anything less. What really made me upset was when Alex's hand left my back and made its way to her waist pulling her in closer. He's a player, so why am I so shocked he's kissing her back? I knew he flirted, but I really hadn't thought he had been hooking up with girls like he use to. Well, I guess I was naïve to believe so. I can't even explain the feelings going through me and I didn't try to figure them out. I let them leave my body, which happened to make a few car alarms go off. Okay I lied, it wasn't a few. All the car alarms within a five mile radius went off and holy cow it was loud. The good thing about being a witch is you can easily distract your emotions and get over them by doing magic or simply letting go of them. The downside is that I tend to lose a little bit of control and make strange things happen, like all the lights going off, random stuff floating, fires starting, or car alarms going off. The noise seemed to break up their spit swapping party. Alex looked at me laughing. His deep laugh made me snap back into reality and the car alarms stopped. Taylor smiled at me smugly, then looked back at Alex.
