The Perfect Guy

Chapter 8

I get home, and i'm bored out of my mind. I don't know what to do. "Jake! ENTERTAIN ME!" I yell at my brother. " I can't do much. Austin is on his way here to get me. We are going out for Jason's birthday." he says "Ok. Tell Jason I said happy birthday please"

"You can come with if you want?"

"Yes. I totally want to go hangout with a ton of High School jocks, who are probably gonna end up drunk, with half their clothes missing." I said being a smart ass "Then again, Hot Jocks, with no clothes on, drunk, and most likely looking to hook-up with someone? I thin-" I say then am interrupted "DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT! DO NOT EVER THINK THAT!!! ESPECIALLY with my friends! NOT COOL LEX! Not Cool!" he yells. I just laugh "I was joking. Plus I have my eye on someone else" I say. He looks at me with a smirk "oh yea. JACKSON!" and he starts making kissy sounds. Sometimes he is such an ass. Austin walks in on him doing this and he just looks at him weirdly. I laughed and so did they when Jake realized he was here. "What the hell?" Austin asks. Jake smiles an evil smile. "I was just mocking her because she is in Love wi-" I Cut him off by yelling. He looked at me smirking still. I glared at him. Then his smile went away. Yea, he knew the death glare wouldn't end well. Even Austin backed up. "Never mind. I don't wanna know" he said. I smiled at him "Good. If you tell him Jake I swear to god, YOU will NOT be very happy" i said with anger in my voice. He nodded, He knows that when i use that glare he is in deep shit. He also has seen me angry. Not a pretty thing. They left. I was so bored. Courtney was with David, so I just left. I went to this clearing in the woods, with a small pond and creek, that I found running one day with Jake. It's my safe place. It calms me down and I come here if i'm upset or something. Jake is the only person who knows about it and what it means to me. I bring a book and just lay around there and read. After a while, I fall asleep. I'm not worried about it, because i'm used to it and I know i'm not in any danger. I eventually wake up to someone shaking me. "Lex, wake up. We gotta go home." It was Jake. I didn't want to walk back. The house was almost a mile and a half away. I put my arms up and he carried me outside the woods to the car. Turns out it was midnight already. My phone had so many missed calls and texts. Including some from Jackson. I felt bad I missed them. "So why did you come all the way out here just to sleep?"Jake said laughing at me. "I wasn't planning on sleeping. I was really bored so I came out here. I was reading my book. I didn't feel like drawing this time." I said. He laughed again and so did I. "How did you know I was here? I didn't tell you this time." I asked. "Well 2 things let me know. 1 You come out here all the time because it's your safe place and 2 I can track your phone" he said laughing at the last part. "Oh Yea. I gotta remember to turn that OFF"

"What happens if you do, and something happens? You could be kidnapped and raped, or killed. Then you are gonna be saying 'Damn, I wish I listened to the best brother ever, so that this never happened' That's what's gonna happen" I just shake my head "fine. I'll keep it on" i respond, now a little scared even though I know he is exaggerating. We get home and immediately go to bed. I am exhausted. When I wake up, Jake isn't home. I text him and he says he will just meet me at Homecoming. It wasn't till after I ate, I realized it's about 11. Damn, I slept a lot. I see Courtney texted me again

C: Wanna meet at starbucks?

L: Ofc I do! I really need it now.

C: Cool, see ya there

L: K

When I got there, she had already ordered. I quickly walked up and ordered mine to. The guy at the register was really cute. "Venti Double Chocolate Chip Frappe no Whip, anything else?" he kindly said. "That's it" He handed me my drink and before I walked away he said "Your really cute, call me sometime" I looked at my cup, and he wrote his number on it. "Thanks, I will" i smile and giggled while walking to court. "Ooooooh. What was all that? And what's this?" she said raising her eyebrows at me. "The guy called me cute and said to call him. This is his number" i blushed. She just laughed at me. We sat and caught up on girl gossip, like who is going with who and stuff like that. Turns out my friend is going out with my ex. Great friend. It's about 1 now, so we head to Courtney's early. We need all the time we can get because there are 2 of us. We first start with our hair. We wash, blow dry, then straighten it. Courtney put hers into a fancy bun and I curled mine after straightening it. That took FOR-EV-ER! We are done with our hair and it's about 5 ish and Courtney's sister is here to do our makeup. This will be fun. She just does a classic black and white smokey eye for me to match my dress with a perfect wing. Courtney has a shimmery pink ombre and thick wings. We have about 10 minutes before we need to go. We put our dresses and shoes on and take a ton of pictures, of course, in the mirror. Tonight is gonna be amazing.
