Hidden From The World

the clown hurt me

LEXI P.O.V

I let out a breath of relief as I wiped my flaming eye make-up. It was over and done with. I stuffed everything into my duffel red and black and opened the door to walk out. I looked down and stepped over a mat which I had tripped over earlier. I looked up and met a pair of million eyes. No, really. No pun intended. I really did meet a pair of million eyes. Well maybe a thousand.

“are you really the Alexandria” someone shouted out and few more questions ringed through the air. “huh, she’s nothing but a show off” I knew that voice. Bree. The crowd quietened down to hear her.” I mean, why would even fake that you are Alexandria. I know, you just want attention. You are nothing but a show off and an ungrateful slut” she spat out.

 I had a count on how many times she had called me slut. Third time this whole week and that did it to make me blow off. “do you know how I got that mark on my back? I was branded by a hot rod. And do you even know what happened to the ring master afterward my last show? He disappeared behind the red caravan and never was seen again until the time my mom came to take me away from there and do you know what happened then? I was knocked unconscious.” everyone was silent and nothing moved. We all hung in suspense as everyone waited for Bree’s next move. I could see the vein in Bree’s head starting to throb. If she got any madder, I would bet on my car that there will be steam coming out of her ears.

“ you are a whore. You know that” I almost fell over laughing. Is that the best she could come up with?

“Is that the best? To prove that you are way wrong. A show off is calling me a show and a whore is calling me a whore. Doesn’t that make you a hypocrite?” I tugged my bag closer to me. I had to use some defence if the Slut pulls out a heel or a lipstick or something against me.

“you will pay for this you bitch” she turned and walked away but not before she tripped over a sound cable and I heard a snap. Her sultry heels had become weak and got caught up and Snap!!. Hope she fell and twisted her ankle.

I decided to slip past the crowd because they were all either mesmerized in seeing Bree’s butt swaying or glaring at her back. As silently as I could, I tip toed over to the back door and let myself out. The last thing I wanted was to be swarmed by a crowd of people who just loved gossip about famous people.

Swiftly, I opened the door of my car and swung myself inside. I let out a deep breath. That was nerve wrecking. My heart pounded in my chest. Strong and racing as if a race. I needed to calm down and just relax because I didn’t know when I would next get the chance to do that. I just told the whole world that the most youngest daring performer lived here. wow. It sucks to be me.

“Hey!” I slammed my breaks when someone just jumped in front of m y car. I narrowed my eye s and what stood in front of me was begging for trouble. Brownish black hair and blue eyes. My best friend’s boyfriend. Chase.

“Jeez Chase. Are you drunk or do you have a death wish?”  I teased. He gave me a charming grin. No wonder Bryn fell for him. He was part of the basketball team and I think in an advance Math class. He was one of the few people I had in my circle of friends.

“maybe I am drunk. Listen, for earlier. I’m sorry for what I said earlier. About the kiss. I was a little pissed off at Bryn. Ummm, I wanted to tell you that there is a party at my house later on, this Friday and I would you be able to bring Bryn? She won’t talk to me” he scratched the back of his head. He seemed nervous.  He was the most confident guy I knew (no Rafe just has an ego size of Africa). But when it came to Bryn, he was as confident as a mouse.
