Don't Hide Your Love Away

6

Julian POV
As I drove away I saw Ally look back.
"Dexter has been acting strange lately..." She said quietly.
"I know what you mean..."
She looked at me.
"He seems.... sad. Which is unusual."
I nodded in agreement.
"Did he seem... like sad when we mentioned we were on a date?" I asked remembering the face he made. The way his lips slightly curved down, and his eyes darted down to his lap.
"Yes. Extremely saddened."
"Maybe he does like you." I suggested.
Ally laughed softly.
"No... I really don't believe that." She said, her voice sounded absolutely sure.
Then her eyed opened a bit more.
"What?" I asked.
She just chuckled.
"Nothing." She said smiling at me.
We arrived at a small picnic area.
Ally excitedly grabbed her picnic basket and set up a cute little mini china set.
A few hours later after talking and eating, we got back into the car to go home.
Ally turned on the radio and "Bad Liar" by Selena Gomez blasted through the speakers.
About twenty minutes later, my phone buzzed.
I answered and put the phone up to my ear as Ally turned the radio down.
"Hello?" I asked when no one said anything.
"Hey this is Mathew... and I have something to tell you about Mr.Perfect." Mathew snickered on the other end of he line.
I narrowed my eyes.
"And what is that? More lies about him" I asked.
"He's really named Javier Rios..." then the line went dead.

Dexter POV
So my life is fucked.
I knocked on his door, waiting for it to open.
When it did I was immediately pulled in .
He kissed my jaw, smiling at me.
"You're just perfect."
"Thanks.." I said feeling awkward
He licked his lips, and grinned at me.
"Show me some respect or should I show you why you should?"

Ally POV
It was Monday around 11 oclock and I sat at the picnic table in the school yard where I usually ate my lunch. The tops of my feet were exposed to the cold grass still covered in morning dew, due to my favorite flats I always wear. The sun hadn't shined down so much yet today.
I could hear the slight chirp of a bird as I bit down into my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"ALLLLLYYY!" I smiled at Daysha's squealing voice, getting louder as she got closer.
"Hi."
"Hey. How was your date???!" She asked excitedly, plopping down next to me.
"It was nice... Dexter was in some trouble so we had to go help him....."
Daysha gasped.
"Omg. Did you tell him? Did he get jealous at all?"
I smiled and nodded.
"I think he did get slightly sad by the fact we were on a date."
Daysha went fish eyed.
"He likes you!"
I shook my head.
"It may have been a misconception." I chuckled.
Daysha nodded.
"Yeah mayb- DEX!" She screamed, startling me.
A few moments later Dexter approached, limping slightly.
"Hey."
I waved and Daysha squealed.
Apparently, Mathew believes his real name is Javier Rios.
Maybe... if I say the name... if it's true... he may react.
"Hey Dexter... do you know anyone named Javier Rios?"
He scratched his neck, revealing several hickies and deep bitemarks.
I examined him and notice they were all over his jaw as well.
"Can't say I do."
Knew Mathew was lying.
"Dexter where did all those hickies come from?"
His face dropped immediately.
"Hey." Julian said, announcing his prescence.
"Hi." I said.
"HEY!" Daysha chimed.
Dexter just waved.
"Dude! Did you bang Regina?"
Dexter cocked his head.
"Who gave you those hickies?"
He blushed and looked away.
"No one." He muttered flipping up his hood.
"Oh my god! You won't tell us?"
Dexter sighed.
"No... I dont know who it was."
Julian stifled a laugh.
"Didnt you and Li fuck? Are ya gonna do it again?"
He sighed again.
"We didn't fuck! Daysha! How are the floats coming along?" Dexter asked quickly changing the subject.
Daysha chuckled awkwardly.
"Pretty good... pretty good." She said unenthusiastically.
I glanced over at her to see her face was full of worry.
"Daysha are you alright?"
She shook her head.
"Well... I just am bummed Dexli won't happen..."
Dexter coughed awkwardly.
"She's nice... it's just I don't want to be in a relationship." He said shoving his hands in his pockets.
A kid ran up behind Dexter, and tapped him.
Dex turned, and looked up at the guy.
"Mr.Estrada wants you."
Dexter was red in the face, and he gave a shifty glance up at the boy.
Daysha coughed qnd watched very closely as Dexter's eyes stayed bulged out of his head.
"Ok." He said, looking at the boy, before he ran off.
The boy who had walked up to him was furiously red in the face.
"Alrighty." He whispered before walking off.
Daysha squealed.
"Oooh... I think he's gay and likes Dexy..." She screamed.
Julian made a face.
"That's gross... and Dex isn't gay." He said looking like he was gonna hurl.
"Julian... that's a bit... homophobic sounding."
