Always Watching: Out for You

Chapter 7

We finally make it to his locker avoiding all gazes and questioning faces. He opens his locker and starts retrieving his books.

"So who was the druggie looking frat boy that was giving me the evil eye just a minute ago?" When he finishes getting his stuff we walk to my locker since its only a couple of lockers away from his.

"While you have your stalkers, I have mine. That was my ex-boyfriend, Parker Stenson. He has been trying to get back with me ever since I found him cheating on me at my own birthday party."

"He sounds like a total douche bag."

"Exactly! And I just want him to leave me alone and get on with his sorry excuse for a life." There is not one clean bone in that boy's body.

"You know I can help you out if its a problem."

"No it's ok. I'd rather you stay away from him because all he is, is trouble."

"Ok just let me know if you ever need some assistance." He says while wrapping his arm around my shoulder and walking me to my first class.

"You betchya!"

It's lunch time and I go to my regular table to sit with Emily. She looks up from her phone and her eyes begin to widen as if to just now register my existence.

"Hiiiiiii!!!!!!"

"Hi." I chuckle as I sit down my tray and get comfortable in the plastic chair.

"Is this god forsaken rumor true?"

"What rumor?" I ask picking up my slice of pizza and taking a huge bite out of. I was starving!

"The rumor that's spreading like wild fire that you and Marcus are dating!!!!"

"That's a possibility."

"What do you mean it's a possibility? It's a yes or no question, Bex, A yes or no question." I fill her in on all the mornings events starting from the car ride to the Parker situation.

"So after all the fake boyfriend girlfriend crap, I was wondering if we could do it for real."

"Omg!! This is so exciting your boring life has taken a turn for the best!" I hope so, I really hope so.
