Unexpected

Chapter 9- You were the Trashcan

Lexi's POV:

"Go get your award," he said. "You deserve it." I started running to get it when I stopped. I looked back and saw Aiden looking at me smiling. Screw it! I ran back over to him and kissed him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He was a little shocked but he quickly started to kiss back and wrapped his arms around my waist. We pulled apart and I smiled.

Monday at school, lunch, cafeteria.

    It's been 2 days since Aiden and I kissed. I don't regret it for a second. He is always so nice, plus he is one of a few people that don't bully me. I honestly don't know my exact feelings for him though. I mean I really like him as a friend only as a friend. But at the same time I think that I might.. like, like him. I don't know.

I sat down next to Leah and Riley, Sky seemed pretty preoccupied, she was talking to Cody. We started talking about the game...

I opened my lunch and tried to open my water, but instead it spilled all over me. Great.

"Hey, guys I'll be right back I just need to get some napkins." I say. It seemed like they weren't even paying attention, they just kept talking.

I walked up to the condiment counter and grabbed some napkins. When I felt something fall on me, and trash falling to the floor. I turned around and whipped the food off my eyes, I looked up and saw Luke with an empty lunch tray. Behind him was Ethan and Liam with an apologetic look on their faces and Emily clinging on him.

"Oh, Lexi, is that you. I thought you were the trash can. You too look so similar. My bad." He said very sarcastically with a grin on his face.

Ever since Saturday, State Championship, Luke has been back the the way he was before. Intimidating me and doing whatever it took to make me miserable. I don't know why, I mean he was still bullying me before the championship but it wasn't as bad. I guess he realized that and decided to step up his game.

"Wow, Luke." I say. " You just keep stooping lower. It's like your running out of ideas because you already called me trash like 5 times now."

"I just need to emphasize my point, or else no one will understand. And clearly you still don't." He says cockily.
I don't want to put up with this.

"Whatever." I mumble walking out of the cafeteria. It felt like all eyes were on me.

"Hey Lexi!" I heard heard someone yell. I turned around and say Aiden. Of course he see's me like this. He ran up to me and looked at me and gave me a look asking for explanation for looking the way I did.

"Oh, um I tripped and my food fell on me. That's why I look like this." I lied.

"Oh, that stinks... Uhh, I was wondering if you wanted to come to a party with me." He asked.

"Umm.." I say. Last time I was at a party the video was released of me. "Uhh... I guess." I continued.

"Awesome. It's at my house on Friday. Since Sunday is Halloween I figured it could be a Halloween themed party!" He said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, and you can invite who ever you wanted to. I'm planning on inviting the whole grade." He continued.

"Okay. Sounds good. Thanks for the invite. But right now I kinda have to go get cleaned up." I say remembering that I looked like mess.
