Scandalous?

Chapter 3

We all know what's coming up this Friday. The Valentine's Day Social. The time for all the couples to brag about each other and be the cutest couple they can be. This is also the time of year when new couples are made and others are broken up.

----------------------------------

Lisa Evans. One of the oh-so-famous, White Bitches. She is second in command to Ella Jensen. It's fair to say that these two girls are the Regina George of Mason High. Lisa is well known among the Reliquias squad as he fake bitch who bathes in attention and the teachers pet. The guys though, they worship the ground she walks on because she had the looks and she flaunted it. Especially, Miguel Salvatore. Damn. The new italian hottie was always admiring her from afar with lustful eyes.   

----------------------------------

    Kyle didn't show up to school today. Nor did he yesterday. Alex, being the good little girl she is, decided to go over to his house and check up on him despite what Dan might assume. She missed her best friend. After all, she's known him for over 10 years.

    "Good afternoon, Hannah," Alex greeted Kyle's mom with a genuine smile on her face.

    "Alex! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in so long! How are you?" Hannah gushed with a welcoming grin plastered on her face.

    "I'm good. How are you?" she replied.

    "I've been better but that doesn't matter," Hannah said, quickly enveloping Alex in a warm embrace. "I've missed you," she mumbled into Alex's hair.

    "I've missed you too," Alex smiled, pulling away. "Is Kyle home?" She questioned glancing over Hannah's shoulder, checking for any sight of him.

    "Yeah, he's in the basement. But, let me just warn you, he hasn't come out from there since Friday night. I honestly don't know what's gotten into him." Hannah shrugged, trying to sound nonchalant, but Alex could sense the worry behind her words.

    As Alex made her way downstairs to the basement, she realized that today was Tuesday. Kyle hasn't left the basement in 4 days. When Alex reached the bottom of the steps, she was hit by the overwhelming smell of alcohol and cigarettes. How Hannah couldn't smell this from upstairs was a wonder.

"Kyle?" She called as she slowly stepped down onto the floor. Alex took in the dimmed lights and she could see the muted TV flashing from the corner. "Kyle?" She called again, a bit louder this time.

"What do you want?" Kyle groaned.

"I just wanted to check on you." She said stepping over the piles of clothes he had left on the floor. "You have been at home for the past few days, I was worried about you," she said as she walked further into the room.

"I'm fine" he grunted. Alex walked over to the wall and turned on the lights revealing Kyle sitting on his couch with stains on his shirt, surrounded by empty bottles, cigerrete butts and candy packets.

"What do you want, Alex!" Kyle basically shouted.

"Look at you!" Alex said keeping her distance "What are you doing?"

"Sulking. The fuck did you expect? My girlfriend cheated on me!" He exclaimed.

"Then don't let her win," Alex simply replied.

"Get out of my room," he demanded.

"This isn't your room," she retorted with a smirk.

"I'm not playing games," he started in a cold tone. "Get out."

"No, Kyle come on." Alex started as she slowly approached the coach. "The Valentine's Social is coming up, you can't miss that," she pressed gently.
