Does He Really Love Me?

Chapter 1

(Lexi's Pov)

"Lexi! Hurry up! Shaylah's here" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. I pulled a pink strapless dress over my head and grabbed a cardigan off a hanger yanking it onto my body. "I'm coming!" I yelled as I put my shoes on and grabbed my bag. I ran downstairs to find a fully made meal placed on the table but because I was in a rush, I only took a sip of juice and bite of the bread. "You know," my mom said. "If you had woken up earlier, you could have eaten this." "Whatever." I said as I ran out to my overexcited best friend.

"LEXI!!!" she yelled pulling me into to a tight hug. "Hey." I said hugging her back. "Ready to go?" "Yup!" She said as we started to walk. "I can't believe it's the first day of school again. Only 2 years left. Enough time to ya know," she poked my belly "Get a boyfriend." "Shut up." I said. "And I hope you except more then two years of school." "I'm not sure about college." She said. "What?!?!?!?" I said practically yelling. "So all that 'I wanna be an astronomer' shit was for nothin?" Shaylah just laughed. "I said I'm not sure. Damn." "I hope you're not." I said as we approached our school.

C.C was walking behind us and bumped me in the shoulder. "Ugly hoe." She murmured. "Shut up you ugly Bitch!!!" yelled Shaylah. "What did you say?" C.C said giving Shaylah a look. Shaylah was about to say something till she saw my face. "She's not worth it." I said. Shaylah just gave a death glare to C.C. I turned around to see C.C's reaction as I saw her boyfriend Ray come behind and start kissing her neck. "Leave them alone baby." He whispered softly into her ear. I just looked at him with a confused face. What could anyone see in her? But I just shrugged and kept walking with Shaylah to our class.

"It's just so sad." Said Shaylah. "Huh?" I said totally lost. "It's so sad that someone as beaut as Ray is dating someone like her." She said. "What are you jealous?" I asked arching my eyebrows. "No course not." She said. "Got all eyes on his best friend Prince. He's Hella fineeee!!" I laughed. "Whatever." I said as I walked into math class.

I took my seat right next to Ray as usually. Mrs.Gurber started to give her decade long lessons and as always I started to zone out.

"Hey." Said a voice. I snapped back to reality and looked around noticing Ray looking straight at me. I sighed. "Yes?" "I just wanted to apologize. About earlier." He said. I just looked at him as I ran my fingers through my hair in a stressed way. "It would be nice if the person that actually hurt me would say something." "She didn't mean it." He said. "Mhmm." I said as I looked back at Ms.Gurber. Then I heard Ray sigh and my head snapped back to his direction. "You don't believe me do you." He said. He slumped in his chair letting his arms fail against the desk. "Not a bit." I said looking at him. "Fine. She never said that." He said."I just wanted to make you feel better." "Not working." I said. "You're only making your girlfriend feel worse." Ray's eyes moved towards C.C's desk and found her growling under her breath. "I don't know what she hates about you. Your actually really nice." "How should you know?" I said. "You spend every fucking second with C.C." "I can hear it in your voice." He said. I stared at him for 5 seconds before looking back at my math book. 'He's such a creep.' I thought to myself.

Later on afterschool I found Shaylah sitting with our best buds Marissa, John and Zachery and went to join them. We were laughing in no time just like we used to, sharing our summer memories. "And this one time-" I started but someone behind me cleared their throat. I looked up to see the one and only C.C. "The fuck you want?" Shaylah asked glaring at her. "I'm here to talk to the geeky one." She said pointing at me. "Let me give you a heads up little girl. Get your fingers off my boyfriend." "My fingers never touched your boyfriend bitch." I said. "Its not my fault he was all over me. Maybe he's done with yo crusty ass."

She just stood there for a second, and then slapped me. That was it. I was done with all the games C.C liked to play. I grabbed her by the collar and banged her against the wall. By this time everyone had their eyes on us. "Don't you ever touch me again Bitch!!" I said as I sent 3 punches to her left temple. I was about to punch her again when someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me off of C.C. "LET ME GO!!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs but the hands didn't soften. The more I struggled the more they held me tighter. "Think about what you're doing." Said a soothing voice none others then Ray. I sighed and stopped struggling as he let me go only to run over to C.C's side once more. "Are you ok?" Asked Shaylah. "Yeah. I'm fine." I said. "Let's just go home." Me and Shaylah started to walk in the direction of my house but I couldn't help but turn around and look at Ray only to find him looking right back at me. I quickly turned back around to Shaylah. "Can we hurry?" I said a little too desperate. She smiled, nodded and quickened the pace. "Sure."
