The Dead's Print

Ch. 13~ Black eye

I leaned into his chest, letting him hold me tight and give me small kisses on my chest. Chelsea sat there, staring at the two of us. We finally took notice and Jackson spoke up.

"What?" he questioned. "What? What do you MEAN what? I'm sitting here, lonely as can be, while the two of u go lovey dovey mode on each other. I FEEL LIKE THE THIRD WHEEL!" she whined. I let out a small laugh and sat up. "Don't take it personal. Is it so bad that we want to spend time together? Why don't you get someone to love on?" I winked. She blushed and turned away from me. "I... He isn't interested." my eyes widened. "He!? You never told me you had a crush." I slammed my hand down, upset she didn't tell me. "Plus I thought you wanted to try dating a girl." Jackson flinched. "What?" he looked confused. Oh, right, we didn't tell him.

"I'm bi-sexual, doofus." Chelsea glared, eating a fry aggressively. "Plus, I can't find anyone who's loyal like you. But when I see him-"

"WHO IS HE!?" I cut her off. "Umm... You wouldn't believe me if I told you." I glared at her some more, which she returned in a playful way. "Who cares anywa-" "I DO! We're best friends, we need to tell each other EVERYTHING. " I argued. She sighed and looked up at us. Jackson wrapped his arms around me which calmed me down. I sank into his arms once more and Chelsea finally spit it out.

"I HAVE A CRUSH ON BRIAN." she finally admitted. My eyes widened. "BRIAN!?" I screamed. How in the hell... After all he's done to her, she has a crush on him? I hesitated at the thought. Hearing his name brought back memories.

"Give me your phone, you ugly snitch." Brian snatched Chelsea's phone from her hand and went through every thing that she had on it while holding Chelsea down. Brian was pretty fit for his age. Especially for a sixth grader. "GIVE IT BACK!" I familiar voice come from across the lunch room as I was getting my lunch. I turned my head, eager to see what was going on until I spotted a girl, screaming at Brian, a well-known bully. I ran over and threw my tray right in his face. "Keep your filthy hands off other people you douche bag!" I yelled at him, yanking the phone out of his hand. That day, I cane home with an eye as black as the night. My vision went blurry and the last thing I heard was the girl's voice, screaming in terror. The next day at school, Brian was no where in sight. I was relieved. Especially since I saw the same girl I helped. She caught my eye and noticed who I was. "Thank you so much for helping me! You're amazing!" she exclaimed, hugging me. "You really didn't have to though. I'm used to Brian bulling me." she let go of me, looking down at the floor. "Don't feel ashamed. I know Brian. He shouldn't be bullying people. Especially innocents like you." she beamed. "My name is Chelsea. I'm so sorry for what he did. You look horrible." I frowned. "I know." I said, covering my black eye. "Thanks for pointing it out. My name is Alexandrea, aka Alexa." I gave in a small chuckle. This was the day I met Chelsea.

I snapped out of my daze as soon as I felt a small shake on my shoulder. I indicated it was Jackson, since he was closer to me. "You alright?" They both gave me a concerned look. I just nodded, turning my attention back to Chelsea. "Why?" I asked.

I felt my scar, the one that looked like a crack in a mirror, tighten and burn when I heard her response. He had no right to come back to her.
