Everything About Me

Chapter 8

Days flew by and eventually the whole school knew about what I was doing. I got called in by the counselor and was 'interrogated' about it. I came grey-clean about it, leaving certain details out. I gave them what they wanted to hear and I was let off the hook on condition that I do not do my business on school grounds.

My fellow schoolmates avoided me like the plague. Well, mostly it was the snobby cheerleaders anyway. I didn't like the attention. Not one bit. But, I did attract more business. That's more of the positive side of the ordeal. It became harder to focus in class but I managed to breeze through the following semester and passed with a GPA of 3.5 for my regular classes and 5.0 for my AP subjects. 

Tyler and I started hanging out more often. He would come by my place most of the time since I work right after school til 11pm (tops) on school days. I genuinely felt happy for a time. More business (which means more money) and finally opening myself up to someone. 

Though, it was short-lived. One of the cheerleaders, Samantha, had enough of the popularity I was gaining and told her lawyer dad about it. He came to school, threatening to sue them for allowing such behaviour in a learning facility and that it was affecting his daughter's academic learning experience. To be clear, Samantha wasn't one of the brightest in the squad. The school had to take action and I was called in once again. I assured them that I would handle the problem and to give a month's time. Surprisingly, they agreed. 

I proceeded to slip a note into Miss-my daddy's a lawyer- Samantha, asking her to meet me out back after school. I waited for at least an hour before she showed up. After talking to her and explaining my situation, she agreed to let it go so as long as I helped her grades up. I quickly agreed and so we began our private study sessions the next day. It started innocently enough, just studying, homework and revision stuff. A month into our time together, and I remember this quite vaguely, we started having longer hours together. One evening, while I was helping her revise for her French test, she acted quite odd. Asking me to how to say certain words in French, which eventually turned into sentences. Dirty, dirty sentences if I may add. 

"So how do you say 'tonight' in French?" she asked. "Ce soir." I replied, leaning back on her bed. "You've been acting strange these past few days Sam. Anything wrong?" The blonde sat down a moment, thinking. "No...at least I think so. Alexa? In your line of business...have you ever, you know, done it with a girl?". I was taken aback. "Um...a few. Why?" I turned to look at her, puzzled. Sam started leaning in close to me, before wrapping her arms around me, "because..."; next thing I knew, we were making out on her bed. The last thing I heard she asked was, "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" 

"Oui.."

In a way, I did help her come out. According to her, she was confused and frustrated the time and  she couldn't understand my bullshit rise to popularity. Days after that incident, she actually hooked up with a girl from my biology class. Her boyfriend left her after word got out that we two made out. Not that I cared really. I only cared about Tyler at that point. Ever since he came into my life. He changed something in me. Made me felt alive and like I was living life. We kept a fair distance from each other during school, but after that, he and I would intentionally wait back till everyone was gone, and would walk me back. 

The girls at the brothel knew about us, so they made adjustments to my shift and made it a couple of hours later so I could have some time with him. Eventually, I introduced him to them, and Mrs Hayden. For some odd reason, Tyler was being pretty nervous about it. He kept asking how he should act and what not. I kept on laughing and told him to be himself. Safe to say, they all loved him. They talked and laughed and drank all night long till it was time for him to go back. I showed him out and walked him to the door. 

"Thanks for tonight. Your family is..interesting and fun to be around." he chuckled. I playfully hit his arm in return. "Jerk. They're the best. Anyway, thanks for agreeing to meet them. Though I have no idea why you wanted to anyway." Tyler sighed for a moment. "Geez Alexa, I thought you'd be smarter. Being an honors student and all." I raised an eyebrow at him. "What do you mean?" He smiled and shook his head in disbelief before gently caressing my cheek with his hand, gazing at me with those blue gems of his. "Because dumbass, I wanted to ask them permission if it was alright with them for me to go out with you." I looked at him, confused, the butterflies in my stomach going haywire. "What? W-why?" I asked. "Because I love you A," and he leaned in and pulled me into a kiss. 

And I kissed back.
