The Bad Girl And The Queen

Chapter six

Bethany's POV
I was just about to turn the corner to the old building when I heard Lexi screaming for me to run followed by her grabbing my hand. I ran with her all the way out of the schools gates not caring if anyone saw us. We ran until the school was out of sight.
"This is the most fun I've had in ages." I say in between gasps for breath.
"You know for a girl with a body like yours you really are out of shape." She laughs and I can't help but laugh with her. To my surprise Lexi isn't even panting. God she really must be in good shape we sprinted for what seemed like hours.
"How are you in such good shape?" I ask.
"Unlike people from uptown us downtown folk tend to run everywhere, mostly because we're being chased by local thugs or creeps." She says this with such venom on her lips like I look down on her because of where she comes from.
"You know lexi I don't care where you come from."
"Really? That would be why the only time you've ever spoken to me is when no one is around."
"I'm speaking to you now, we're standing in the middle of town. What more do you want from me?"
"I don't want anything from you."
"Then why did you make me run with you?" God why is she being so difficult, I'm trying to be nice for once.
"Because if I left alone, that jerk of a teacher would of been all over you asking you a thousand questions about me."
"Fine. Guess I'll go then." I turn to leave but I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't go... follow me we'll do something fun before it gets dark." Did she just ask me stay? Maybe this girl isn't so hard after all, it looks like she has a soft side too.
"Okay." I smile. She smiles back. It's more then just a smile it's an intimate moment, I can't look away her eyes keep drawing me back in.

Lexis POV
Never in a million years did I dream of ever taking anyone to my special spot, let alone the schools queen, a girl I normally can't stand, but for some reason I can't think of anyone I'd rather be here with. The only person who's ever been here is Adam. Until now.
"Hey Lexi, where are we?" She asks me in the most innocent voice.
"This is where I go when I want to be alone. It's special to me I guess. I found it when I was a little girl the first time I ran away." Why am I telling her this it's not like she cares. This is the only place where I truly feel safe. It's really only an old rock in the middle of no where but it's home to me.
"How old were you?" She looks concerned.
"Five." I laugh at her shocked face.
"Why did you run away?"
"I don't remember, probably for some stupid thing. But since I'm so stubborn I didn't return home for a couple of days." I ran away because my parents had a serious fight, I tried to stop it and I ended up getting hurt. Nowadays things like that don't phase me but when I was young I didn't know any better so I ran. But no way am I telling her or anyone that.
"Did your parents not worry?"
"my mums to drugged up half the time and my dad couldn't care less, when I went back no one even noticed I was gone." I laugh at the memory. "It was the first time I realised that I was alone in this world. "
"You're not alone. " She smiles at me and takes my hand. I smile back, it's the sort of smile that makes you feel whole inside.

Bethany's POV
Before I know what's happening I find myself crying. Lexis looking at me with a worried look on her face. I'm only crying because I can see how broken she truly is, how this bad girl thing is only half an act, I was stupid to be one of them people who thought she didn't have feelings, like she was always bulletproof. Now I just look stupid for crying, so I start laughing as if that's going to make me look any less crazy. 

" I think I've broken the schools queen." She says smiling at me, wiping away my tears. She leans in to kiss me and I find myself meeting her lips half way. The kiss is indescribable, all the feelings from the past week rush back to me. It feels like sparks are flying all around us. I never want it to end.

"I think I broke the schools bad girl, if i didn't know any better i'd say you care about me." i say pulling away from the kiss to take a breath. 

"Shut up." She says smiling. She leans in to kiss me again.

"Lexi WTF!" Who is that? He looks like one of the local scumbags. But behind the dirt he's quite good looking.
"Adam?!" Isn't Adam one of Lexi's friends?
"What the hell are you doing kissing  Bethany fucking Rose, you can't stand preppy idiots. No offence love." Preppy idiots? Is that what she thinks of me?
" Just go away Adam why are you here?"
" I heard you left school I came to see if you was okay."
" I'm fine please just go." He turns to leave. But I stop him.
"If you tell anyone at school about what you just saw I'll make your life a living hell do you understand."  I look at his face, he seems shocked, either because of what I just said or because Lexi is laughing.
"Why are you laughing, are you going to let this chick talk to me like that? Last month you beat a girl up just because she looked at me the wrong way."
"Adam I'm sorry but come on when was the last time you've had someone threaten you like that... besides me." He laughs then and agrees to keep his mouth shut. I'm relieved. He says goodbye to Lexi and walks off to do whatever it is he does.

Lexis POV
Is she ashamed of me? This is why I hate uptown girls, they can only be associated with people from their select group. Why do I even care so much? Sure I kissed her and I liked it but that doesn't mean anything does it? I mean I'm not....No I couldn't be, I've been with guys before but nothing ever felt quite as good as kissing her. This is way to confusing. Maybe i like both? ugh what does it matter. 
"Come on I'll take you home." I say to Bethany.
"How you don't even have a car." Sure she just assumes the poor girl doesn't have a car. I mean I don't but that's not the point.
"We'll go back to mine pick up my bike and I'll get you home safe. It's almost dark and as I'm sure you can tell this isn't the best neighbourhood for a girl like you to be walking around in,"
"Okay let's go." She takes my hand and we walk like that all the way back to mine.
