Perfectly Imperfect

chapter 20 - it's clear to me now

"you're a marie?" i asked leigh

"uh... yeah, why?" she asked quietly

"nothing. it's just i'm a marie to. i'm lexi. lexi marie" i greeted and offered a handshake

she looked surprised, but shook my hands anyway.

leigh is shy, amd insecure. just like me.

"it's pretty hard to find friends here. but i would like to be your friend. i could show you my beat friend as well" i said and smiled at her

"you wanna be my friend?" she asked surprised

"well yeah. you seem like a cool person. i'm not popular or anything. let's just say i'm pretty much like you. i'm shy, and insecure. so don't worry" i said

she looked up at me and smiled

"thank you" she said

"no problem" i replied

-lunch-

"come.. i'll show you to my best friend" i said and motioned for her to follow me

she nodded and followed behind me

"why are all these people staring at me?" she asked quietly and hid her face

"their not staring at you. their staring at me" i replied and kept walking

"why?" she asked

"i don't know. a lot of these kids here tend to be my bullies. so i'm pretty used to it. funny because i am dating my bully" i said and laughed a little

i walked in the cafeteria and looked around to check if hannah was in here. but she wasn't. weird.. i haven't seen her since first period.

"ugh. i can't find her. sorry i made you walk a lot" i apologized as i got my food and sat at the back of the cafeteria

"it's alright" leigh replied and sat next to me

"who's the bully you're dating?" she asked me

"umm..." i trailed off and looked around if i could find aaron

and i found him! but he was making out with britney..

"the one sucking the blonde bitch's face over there. let's just say we're not dating anymore" i said through gritted teeth

"oh god... i'm so sorry lexi" leigh said and came over and hugged my side

tears began falling out of my eyes. and when leigh saw my tears, she hugged me even tighter.

i thought aaron changed.. but it's clear to me now that he hasn't...
