The Tomboy and the Player

Who's The New Chick?

"Tell me why the party had to be on a Monday and not a Friday night or a Saturday night like normal people?" I climb in the passenger side and click my seatbelt in.

"Lionel thought it was time to change it up a little, if he's providing free kegs, pizza and the use of his pool then I don't see why not," Axel fumbles in his pocket, looking for the keys.

"Lionel." I stare at him blankly.

"Volleyball captain? We saw him today you know?" He raises his brow.

"Yes I know who Lionel is... I don't think he'll want me there," I bite my bottom lip, thinking about how I'm going to be asked to leave as soon as I get there.

"You're with me." He says full of confidence.

"That doesn't mean-"

"It means you'll be fine Lexi, just promise me you'll have a good time."

"But he-" The past starts flooding through the gates and I'm reminded of what used to be before Axel came along.

"Remember, I said I'll look after you and I will."

We turned in to the rich part of town and although Lionel's house was a couple of houses down, it was lit and I felt the vibration of the music thumping through the car.

"Axel?"

"Hmm?" He spots a parking and swiftly reverses into it. Cool guy.

"I'm nervous.." I gulp and wipe my sweaty palms on my knees.

"Don't be nervous, here, have some of this it'll calm the nerves," He hands me a brown pen with a strange smell and a lighter.

"Uhh.. is this.. you know what," I lean towards him and whisper the last three words oh so quietly.

"Weed? Dope? Dack? Yes.. yes it is."
He winks and I slap him playfully.

"You know I'm all about the legalization but..." I stare at the blunt in my Palm and bite my lip.

"You don't have to smoke it if you don't want to," He looks at me and I know that I can say no and he'd be alright with it.

After thirty seconds of giving it some thought I lifted it to my lips and look Axel square in the eye, "This will only happen once in a blue moon, okay?"

"Fine with me you badass! Ohhh this is so exciting. My little Alexis all grown up." He clasps his hands and pretends to pout causing me to giggle.
A strand of hair fell to my face and the look in Axel's eyes changed as he leaned forward and slowly tucked it behind my ear catching him glance at my lips in the process.

I clear my throat and blush and he quickly changes the mood and tells me to light the blunt and I do, but not before playing Colt 45.

"Alexis! Where are you?!" Axel screams into my ear but nowhere to be seen.

"I'm right over there," I yell back and realize I didn't make any sense and ended up in fits of laughter, "I mean here!"

I squint my eyes and feel the burning sensation in my throat from the blunt with the aftertaste fresh on my taste buds. We hotboxed Axels car and right now we're as high as kitty kites and reek of weed.

"We should really go in. Come, I need a drink." Axel and I both open our doors and the smoke escaped like wildfire and as soon as I close the door and spun around, I never realized how many people were on the street. I felt a pair of eyes on me, it was as if my skin was being pierced but I couldn't see who it was as I scan my surroundings.

"You coming?" Axel's bloodshot eyes and slow movements attract the sober people and laugh at how clumsy we're acting.

"Yes! Don't leave me!" I catch a few creeps stalking so i hug myself and cover my body as we walk towards the entrance.

Axel puts his arm around me and leans his head on mine, "I'm so happy you're here."

After falling over nothing and petting the black cat we finally reached the house and it is so huge. Mr and Mrs Timberland are lawyers and Lionel is the youngest of seven.

So far we walked past three guys puking, a couple snogging in the tree, red cups and people everywhere.
A familiar face approaches us and i felt his dangerous eyes scan my body and I shiver.

"Axel!" Lionel fake smiles and they both do the dude handshake.

Lionel is the Volleyball Captain, womanizer of the century, heart breaker in disguise with his sky blue eyes, bright smile, chestnut hair, olive complexion. Those damn abbs and muscles drive girls crazy and there he is with no idea how much I want to throw daggers through his soul for what he had done. To think I once called him mine.

"Lionel! Wassup? Awesome party as always."

I snicker as I watch the black cat steal a piece of chicken from a guy that's passed out and they both whip their heads in my direction

"Care to introduce me to your beautiful lady?" Lionel winks in my direction and strides like a model towards me and and pulls my hand to his lips causing Axel to tenses while I gag internally and try to focus my vision so there wasn't three of him.

"Ah. This is my best friend." He scratches his nape and giggles like a girl with a slight frown.

"No. Alexis is your best friend." Lionel laughs then frowns.

"Yeah." He says sarcastically while slowly looking side to side.

I look towards the ground and pick at my nail polish. Please don't do this to me God, I beg you.

Lionel's eyes harden and scan me from top to bottom and he laughs.
"Are you sure? She wouldn't dress like that in public in a million years. She isn't this hot," he laughs, "She's too fat and ugly."

I stare at Lionel in shock, how rude! I snatched my hand back and my nostrils flare, "Well it turns out that people do change Lionel Timberland, I didnt loose all this to appeal anyone. I may have lost weight but it seems you haven't lost your ugly attitude." Axel's hand clasps over my mouth and he quickly fist pumps Lionel and drags me inside.

I'm furious! Who does she think she is talking to me like that, rude bastard. I know I wasn't always the slimest or voluptuous growing up but my mama's genes kicked in at 16. I was never really one to wear clothing that revealed too much, an oversized hoodie and boy shorts are fine with me. I guess 8th grade was just a bunch of lies that sting to this day.
