~Lexie's POV~
I slowly open my eyes but they drop shut again. I think I stayed up too late last night...
Anyway, i got up and picked out a cute outfit. I wanted to make new friends today! (In media)
I run down stairs with my bag and nearly trip as I'm excited to meet Joey in person.
"Slow down kiddo!" My dad yells as I stumble through the kitchen.
"Morning to you too dad." I say with a giggle.
"Pancakes ready!" Mom shouts.
I run to the table and eat all my pancakes up before they could even try pinching any of mine.
However, at that moment my brother came down the stairs.
"Morning fatty!" My brother shouts to me.
"Ben! That's not nice!" My dad says angrily.
Ben shrugs and takes his place next to me waiting for his breakfast to be served to him.
I scowl at him before getting up and going to the door.
"Are you walking? I can take you Lex!" My dad asks.
"It's okay. A friend is walking me!" I say with a smile.
"You haven't met anyone..." My mom says awkwardly.
I scowl at her and I continue with my journey.
I walk outside and there's Joey.
"Hey Joey!" I say smiling while giving him a hug.
"You do know someone is taking pictures of us..." Joey whispers.
All I could think was Ben.
I stick my middle finger up at him and I continue walking to school with Joey.
"So, who's that?" Joey asks.
"My brother Ben." I say blankly.
"Oh, you like him?" Joey asks.
"No! Of course not!" I say laughing.
Joey laughs in agreement and we soon arrive at school.
I take a big breath and I step inside. But, once I turn around to find Joey, he's gone!
I frantically run around trying to find him but I don't have any luck.
I turn around and I bump into a girl that could be a model! She's so pretty!
"Watch it?!" She roars.
Everyone turns and laughs at me.
The new girl on the floor already being humiliated. Great.
Suddenly, a hand has been stretched for me to take. It was a cute boy.
"Hey, my name is James!" He says smiling.
"Hi James, I'm Lexie." I say.
"Come, I'll take you to the principals office." He says motioning me to follow him.
We arrive and I get my schedule. I have all my classes with James!
We arrive at our first class which was Science. I hate it!!
"Can I sit next to you?" I ask James.
"Well, we're friends, why wouldn't we?" James asks.
I wasn't ready to pass down on friends.
I reply with "sure" and we get on with class.
"Do you know anyone here?" James asks curiously.
I remembered how Joey just ditched me when I needed some help! I won't be talking to him for a while!
"Yeah, I do." I say coldly.
I didn't mean to, it just came out that way.
"Who?" He asks shyly.
"Joey Birlem." I say while doing my work.
"Him? Why weren't you with him when you arrived?" James asks.
"He ditched me. I turned around for one second and then he was gone." I admit.
"Oh, well you got me now!" James says smiling.
"Thank you James!" I say with a smile.
~end of school~
I walk home by myself, listening to music as I have no one to talk to.
I run upstairs and I get my homework out and I quickly complete it.
I feel something hit me and look at my open window and guess what else was out there?
Joey.
I run to the open window and I shut it and I get back to my homework. Leaving Joey there aghast.
*bing bing*
Joey😉: why did you do that?
Me: you ditched me today! When I needed someone to help me!
Joey😉: sorry! A friend pulled me away!
Me: you could have at least told me!
Joey😉: I was going to but you were with James!
Me: well, duh! You ditched me!
Joey😉: can you stop saying that now? I'm sorry!
Me: fine.
Joey😉: are we okay?
Me: I guess.
Suddenly, Ben burst through the door with a smug smile on his face.
"What? Get out!" I shout at him.
"No." He says while holding up his phone which had a picture of me and Joey hugging.
"Don't you dare?!" I scream.
I press' the send button and now everyone from my old school would see it.
I never like boys in my old school! Now, everyone would know that I'm a fake!
I pinch Ben in his leg causing him to squeal.
I grab his phone and I delete the post and I continue to pinch him all over.
"Get off Lexie?!" Ben yells.
My parents burst through the door and of course they shout at Ben and I.
Ben leaves my room and so do my parents. After a lot of explaining of course. I look over to my window and I see Joey dying of laughter.
"Shut up Joey!" I say angrily.
He puts his hands up in a surrender.
We talk for a while and eventually I doze off to sleep.
But, there's one thing that bugged me.
When I talk to Joey, I get this butterfly feeling. Same with James.
Is that normal for friends?
Or is it because I like them?
I don't have any friends that are girls so who am I supposed to talk about this with here?
Ah! Kayleigh!
I quickly face timed her and she picked up immediately.
"Kayleigh! It's 2:00am! Why are you still up?" I ask her while laughing.
"I thought you'd might need me!" She says while rubbing her eyes.
"I've met two boys, Joey and James. I get butterfly feelings with them both. Is that what being friends with boys feels like?" I ask.
"No, no, no hunny! You looooovvvvvveeeeee them!!" She says laughing.
"I do not!" I protest.
"Alright hunny! You go with that!" She says with another laugh.
"I will." I say with my arms crossed.
She hangs up and I go to bed thinking about what if she was right.
Who would I pick?
Well, I did meet Joey first,
But, James did help me during school so I just don't know.
Well, well just have to find out!
Don't we?
But, I must say that I have my eyes on Joey to be fair...
He's funny, kind, amazing in every way!
He did ditch me but he did make up for it and he did apologise so we're okay!
Me: Goodnight Joey!💕
Joey😉: Goodnight Lex!❤️
Oops, I didn't mean to put the heart but he did it back so that's fine.
Me: Goodnight James!☺️
Jamsie😇: Goodnight Lexie!💩
Haha, why put a poop?
He's so funny!
See you tomorrow world...
I fall into a deep sleep.Hi to anyone that reads my story!
