Fixing Lexi

Chapter 3

"Soooo, I was doing some thinking and I came up with... Shakespeare is a women." I look up from my phone and burst In to laughter. Amy spits her water out everywhere.

We were sitting in the middle of the cafeteria at a table with just us and a few of Amy and Peters friends, everyone looking at us because of our sudden out burst.

"Guyssss!" Peter whines and I raise my eyebrow slightly, sneaking a glance at Amy.

"Hear me out." we all look at eachother then stop laughing, I press my lips firmly together to ensure that I don't.

He clears his throat and looks down at his book.

"This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour; is but a working shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

We are all silent for a minute all clearly confused before Amy's friend James speaks up.

"Dude that was deep." I giggled and Peter gave us a serious look.

"Just saying, no man is capable!!" James threw one of his fries at Peter obviously annoyed at how sexist he was being.

"Peter, I believe you are capable, you kick ass at English." I speak up and he winks at me.

"Anyway bitches, are we going tomorrow night?" Amy asks and I furrow my eyebrows not sure what she was talking about. I never really know where we are going I just rely on Amy to make sure we get there.

"Do you not listen to anything that goes on in this school? Come on, we'll talk about it at the gate, I need a smoke." she grabs her bag and walks away, her ass falling out of her dark purple hot pants. Interesting colour choice for today.

Together we walk to the gate, laughing at some of the unbelievable stories Peter is always telling us.

When we get there I light a cigarette, take a draw and instantly felt the relief.

"I hate school." I breathe out and they agree. I was of course stating the obvious.

"Are we going tomorrow where slut face?" Peter says to Amy and she rolls her eyes.

"The big 'back to school party', everyone's going." I snorted and Peter raised his eyebrows. This isn't one of the parties we would usually attend because it means all the stuck up people will be going.

"Sounds like a lot of fun." his tone is sarcastic and I smirk at him.

"Come on guys, everyone's invited and there is free alcohol!" Me and Peter give each other an interested look before a familiar voice speaks up.

"May I say, everyone is invited, but not you stoners." Alexis says and I try to refrain from rolling my eyes but it happens anyway, I don't really care.

"Ohh, looks like we just decided to go anyway doesn't it." I smirk and Peter blows a puff of smoke in her face. She starts to put on a fake girly cough causing us to burst into laughter.

"Alexis, just let them come, we don't have to talk to them." Michael says and I instantly turn to peter. His face is scrunched up and his fists are clenched. I scoff and start to walk back to school.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." I call to Peter and Amy, they only nod and give me a small wave.

I put my earphone In and decided to take the long way to class needing a little relief from school already.

"Lexi wait!" I turned my head around to see Michael and groaned, picking up my walking pace.

"You know you shouldn't smoke." he offered me a small smile but In return I glared.

"And you shouldn't tell me what to do." I spat, still trying to get as far as I possibly can away from him.

"You know, I didn't mean what I said outside, I just think everyone should be invited." He shrugs innocently.

I turn around around abruptly and clench my fists.

"I'm going to stop you right there, because I'm not friends with people like you and I never will be." My tone is harsh and he flinches.

"I'm not fake Lex." he says softly and I roll my eyes and continue to walk. If there's one thing that I have actually learned in high school, that would be to not trust people so easily.

"We can't be friends anyway, And stop calling me Lex!! only my real friends get to call me that." I nudge him out of my way and he stops walking.

"I'll see you tomorrow night!" he shouts behind me and I stick my middle finger up at him just like I did to Alexis.

"No you won't." I shout back and walk Into class.
