THIS MEANS WAR

Chapter 8: Lexi kissed that guy!

Danny was pissed. I placed a hand on his shoulder and I felt him relax.

"Welcome to my world." I said sympathetically.

He was glaring at Hunter, who looked just as irritated. He was rubbing his head and then he noticed Danny's intense glare.

"I came to switch sides- I want to help Alexa." Hunter said.

"Then why were you hiding?"

"Because if my friend came to know he wouldn't trust me and it won't serve any purpose."

"So- you're with her?" Danny asked.

"Yeah."

"We're on the same side?" Danny scrunched his nose.

"For Alexa." Hunter said. The liar! Mae would snort at that. I can literally imagine her doing that!

"I need my friends." I whined.

"We're here." Hunter assured me.

"I mean Fran and Mae. I miss them."

"We'll try to be decent substitutes." Hunter said.

"It's not the same."

"Well, I can do anything that Mae can."

"Really Hunter? Don't flatter yourself."

"And you- you were saying something." He gestured towards Danny.

"Yeah- I thought you and me could uh- go out tonight for a movie maybe- but that's if you feel up for it." Bad boy was right.

"Danny- I really don't feel well."

"I understand. So maybe we could watch a movie here?"

"I love watching movies too." Hunter said.

"Uh- sure Hunter."

"What if it's only the two of us?" Danny asked.

"I mean Hunter can always leave."

"Just kidding. I'd hate to ruin a special day for Alexa." Hunter said.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Lex! It's me."

"Come in." I said.

Teddy Bear entered with a bag on his shoulders and a phone in his hand.

"Who's this now?" Hunter asked.

"He's Teddy Bear."

"Your boyfriend?"

"Her what?!" He looked up from his phone.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I defended seeing colour rise to Teddy Bear's cheeks.

"I heard you didn't go to school."

"How so?"

"Grandma told me."

"Right mom must have-"

"This is Teddy Bear?" Hunter was shocked.

"Uh huh. Problem?"

"No he's just uh- bigger than I thought he'd be."

"Did you actually expect a cute, fluffy, bear with a pink bow on it? But yeah he's big, he's in college. " I said. Hunter looked horrified. I don't know what it was but looking at his face that way- it was hilarious.

"I got your text last night- I should probably ignore it since you sent it by mistake but Alexa that's not-"

"Please forget you got that text, nothing happened."
