Rejection Does Hurt

Cute Moments

Drake's POV:

I decided I was going to talk to Alexis during English class because she sits in front of me. Hopefully, I don't say the wrong thing.

Geography class is usually quick and biology is kind of long, but I could wait; then I have lunch then English.

I walked into Geography class and all the student were staring at me.

"Drake, why are you late?" the teacher, Mr. Colon, asked me.

"Um, I woke up late this morning?" I replied. I know that's not why I'm late, but if I say because I was talking, I would get detention.

"Take your sit." Mr. Colon ordered.

I sat down and stared at the chalkboard thinking about what I should say to Alexis. I don't want to mess up or say anything rude this time.

The bell rang and I bumped into Alexis..

Alexis' POV:

Drake bumped into me when 2nd period bell rang and made me drop my books.

"S-sorry, Lex, let me help you with that." Drake offered.

That made me blush. Ugh! I can't still have feelings for him. He broke my heart.

"Thanks.." I said to him.

"No problem. I want to apologize for the way I've been acting. If you want to go out..." he paused, "we can."

My eyes lit up and I had a soft smile, "it's okay and no thanks, if you don't want to go out with me, I understand."

If he doesn't like me then he doesn't like me. I shouldn't have to put him in a position where I practically force him to.

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. Obviously, I hugged back and blushed madly. Drake caught me blushing.

"Aww, you're blushing!" Drake said.

I put my hands on my cheeks to play it off like I am not blushing.

"No I'm not!" I defended myself and chuckled.

Drake chuckled also, "you want me to walk you to your next class?"

"Sure, but the late bell is going to ring soon and you don't want to be late for another class." I told him.

"Wait..how'd you know that?" he asked suspiciously.

I smiled and headed to my next class. I know I still like Drake, that cute moment made me fall in love with him all over again!

After school, I went up to my room and invited Chloe to talk about my wonderful day! It's funny, yesterday I was crying my life away and now today, I'm so happy!

Ding Dong!

"I'll get it!" I called out. I ran downstairs and opened the door for Chloe. She looked all dressed up..like for a date? Her light brown hair was straight with loose curls at the bottom, and a nice, white dress with ruffles at the bottom.

"Who you looking all nice for?" I asked her. I closed the door and walked into the kitchen where Kyle and Drake were.

"Oh no one!" she replied and sat next to Kyle on the kitchen table. I grabbed a soda and sat next to Drake.

It's no longer awkward around me and Drake! I'm not shy anymore or scared to talk to him. It feels great.

We started talking about our day and decided to play cards. I remembered I never even got to tell Chloe about my day, but I'm obviously not mad Drake anymore if I sat next to him.

"So, what do you guys want to play?" Kyle asked shuffling the cards.

"Blackjack!" Chloe blurted out. Ugh, I hate that game.

"No!" I exclaimed, Chloe gave me a pleading look. I sighed, "fine we can play."

When we finished the game, Drake and Kyle went to go play basketball outside, Chloe and I went upstairs in my room to talk.

"So, you're not mad at Drake anymore?" Chloe asked me.

I shook my head no and smiled, "he apologized and gave me a hug."

Chloe had a wide grin on her face, "aww you guys hugged!" she said and clapped.

"It's like a held my whole world for 3 seconds!" I told her. I saw a shadow by my door. Great. One of the boys are eavesdropping.

"Chloe! Someone was listening to our conversation!" I whispered to her and pointed to the shadow.

Chloe got up and headed towards the door. "Drake..get out.." she said.

Drake came in my room and sat on my bed. "You ladies talking about me again?" he teased. I rolled my eyes and blushed. Ugh this blushing needs to stop!

"Chloe, can you step out a minute please? I need to talk to Lexi." he asked Chloe.

"Uh, sure?" Chloe responded and left. I walked to the door and made sure she wasn't going to eavesdrop. You know Chloe.. she's a very nosy girl.

I sat back on my bed. "So, what do you need to tell me?" I asked him.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to talk to you." he answered and looked me deep in the eyes. I smiled and looked down at the ground. "Um, okay. So what do you want to talk about?" I asked him.

Drake shrugged and chuckled, "anything." he told me. "Let's play truth or dare." I suggested. "Kay." he replied.

"So.. truth or dare?" he asked me.

It took a long time for me to choose. "Um, truth." I finally said.

"How much do you like me?" he smirked. Seriously?

"A lot." I answered and bit my lip. Drake nodded and chuckled. I wonder where's Kyle..but that doesn't matter right now. I'm talking to Drake for once!

"Truth or Dare?" I asked him.

"Truth." Drake said.

"Okay, umm.." I began, "rate me from 1-10."

"Uh," he looked at the ground and back at me, "8.7. Honestly."

Aw. What a stupid question.. Why did I ask that? I just got caught up in the moment and thought he liked me.

"Oh." I said sounding sad, "um I'm gonna go to the mall. See ya."

Drake waved at me and left my room.
