Chapter 24 ~His Hoes

In any given moment we have two options: to step forwards into growth or to step back into safety. ~Abraham Maslow

Grant's POV

The whole week had been dragging me down. After coming out to the school, which honestly I never thought it would attract that much attention, I felt tired. Everyone would whisper about Felix and I; and abruptly, from seemingly nowhere, everyone wanted to be my friend. That or they hated me for no apparent reason. 

It dragged me down to be the center of attention. I was so used to going through school being unnoticed. When I first became friends with the boys some people were intrigued, but it never caused a mass hysteria like this. 

I stopped holding my grudge against Felix and I came to terms that he was probably a little jealous of Costas for some reason.

Though I didn't hold a grudge against him for long. After that school day we talked about it. I told him that I was a little upset, but we were bound to come out at some point. 

The next four days following that we've grown a bit, and started to be more open in conversation. Now that it's Friday, all I really want is to stay home watch movies, eat pizza, and cuddle with Felix. 

It's a good thing he's going to be spending the rest of the afternoon with me. My father is going to be working the night/early morning shift, so I asked Felix to come over. Currently I was waiting for him to meet me at my locker so we could head home. 

I sighed to myself and closed my locker. When I turned I came face to face -more like face to chest- with a girl.

Her brunette hair framed her face perfectly. She stood above me that I had to look up a bit to meet her eyes. Though as soon as I did I had an urge to look away. Her beauty was that radiating, it was almost blinding. A devious smirk graced her features as if she came here to end my existence.

With that being said I didn't know who she was. Well I knew her from school, she's very popular, but I had no connections with her.

"Y-Yes?" I asked her finally while pushing my glasses up. I mentally kicked myself for  stuttering but being in her presence was overwhelming.

Her smirk grew slightly as if she got satisfaction from knowing that she intimidates me. "You're Grant, right" she asked, there was something to her tone that made me shiver.

I don't know how to describe it, but the closest word would be almost sinister. Though her voice itself sounded smooth and not as high a pitch as other girls.

"That's me" I said a bit weary to her tone.

"I'm Alexa" she introduced. "So you're Felix's current toy" she hummed.

My eyes widened "Wha-"

"Huh, you aren't much. But who am I kidding he won't find someone better once he had me" she boasted.

Well it was no secret that she was beautiful, on the outside at least. So I guess she had a bit of reason to be proud, but she didn't have to be really rude about it.

"Wait a minute-" I tried to give my two cents but she cut me off again.

"Listen here little boy, I don't know what he finds so intriguing about you. To me you're bland and not very exciting at all, but you do have a nice ass so maybe that's why he wants ya'...." she trailed off slightly.

Was that supposed to be a compliment of some sort?

"But listen carefully. Once he gets what he wants from you he'll leave and come back to me. Why would he want someone like you anyways" she said venomously.

I coward back slightly from her intimidating presence. "Make no mistake, Grant" she spoke my name as if it was poison. "Felix is mine. Sure he strays off sometimes, but he always comes back, because no one else can please him like I do" she laughed lightly as if this was amusing to her.

I feel hurt. A part of me has always thought that I was a lesser to Felix. I mean he was so handsome and strong, and I was....the opposite.

I felt like crying, whether or not she knew, she just hit a huge insecurity of mine. And lately with all the attention Felix and I've been getting it's gotten worse.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, and harden my gaze. I took a confident step towards her, and held my chin up.

Her eyes widened at my sudden boldness.

"You know something, Alexa" I spoke her name just as venomously. "I don't have to hear this from you" I spoke strongly. "Maybe he might leave me for you some day, who knows. And if he does I'll honestly be really sad. I can't deny that" I speak truthfully as I look to my hands in sadness.

"But I won't take your harassment, and I wont let you treat Felix like a toy" I glare up at her. "He's a human being, no different from you. After all you guys share a common trait of loving to be around, and having companionship even it's for a single night. And if that's something you enjoy, I am no one to say otherwise, but don't come attacking me because he decided to settle down and you can't" I could see him coming.

From the corner of my eye I see Felix approaching. But I can't bring myself to be near him right now.

"So excuse me" I tell her before taking off in the other direction.

********************

A/N I know this chapter is much shorter than what I usually write, but I felt like I should end it there. Also if you don't remember Alexa actually came out in the prologue she was only mentioned once, and that was the only time she was ever mentioned, so it's okay if you guys don't remember her. Well BYEE!!!
