Chapter 4: Finally getting rid of Hunter

Hi, I'm really really sorry I haven't updated in so long. I just kinda got stuck with the story. But I'm back again! Back to the story,

Short summary

Alexis' (our main character) boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. Now she is desperatly trying to get over him. With the help of her new next door neighbour Xavier and her bestfriend Mia, she may be able to get over him.

Chapter 4: Finally getting rid of Hunter.

After a very boring hour of detention, I decided to look at the list.

Step 2. Get rid of everything that reminds you of him.

"Okay, let's get this over with." I tell myself. I get my vacuum cleaner and a cardboard box.

The first thing I find is a large pink teddy bear (I know, I know very cliché but I'm that kind of girl). A bittersweet feeling starts to build up in my stomach. I press the teddy bear against my chest, the smell of his cologne is intoxicating. Who even wears cologne, he's seventeen for pete's sake. Asshole. Then I smell something different it smells like, candyfloss.

The butterflies in my stomach are making it hard too breath. We just went on the scariest roller coaster I've ever been on, but to be honest that's not the cause of the butterflies. It was Hunter's arm around me that caused them. We walk around the attraction park, until Hunter decides that he wants to win me something. Dork. An adorable, extremely attractive, butterfly inducing dork. The bell rings signaling that Hunter has won something. He looks at me with a triumphant grin, "What would you like Lexi?" he asks. I look at the smiling stuffed animals, then I see it. It's a huge, pink teddy bear, with a bow tie. My smile widens when I point at it. The Carney hands me the teddy bear. Then I smell a sweet, sugary scent. Candyfloss.

I stuff the teddy in the box, while a lump in my throat starts to build up. That lying piece of crap,
"What would you like Lexi?" I imitate. "For you to fall of a cliff" I mutter to myself.

After stuffing a few other knick-knacks in the box, I come across a ticket to the movie's I saved. 

Even while walking to the movie theatre, I still can't believe that Hunter asked me out. Usually guys only ask Sam out, she's the pretty blonde. I'm not bad looking, I'm just always second choice. Because I'm kinda shy around new people, most people just know me as 'Sam's friend'. But this time a guy asked me first. And not just any guy. Hunter Williams. Even his name is attractive. It sounds like some kind of British king. And I'm on a date with Hunter. When I arrive at the movie theatre I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. But then I see Hunter and I almost pinch myself. When we sit down the movie is just about to begin. Ha! 1 point to Alexis and about... 14 to Sa-. Then I feel an arm around me. No. Way. Did he... A smile creeps it's way to me face. I look up at Hunter who seems to be contently watching the movie. I relax and snuggle against his chest.

I smile at the satisfying ripping sound of the movie ticket. Jerk.

The next thing I find is a pair of ice skates.

When Hunter removes his hands from my eyes, I see the cutest little skating rink. It's just me and Hunter, this is going to end badly. After lacing up my new ice skates, I shuffle on the ice where Hunter is waiting. I slide over him. Then we try to shuffle forward holding hands. 
"Hunter you do know I have a coördination of a-"
Hunter slips and falls on his butt, pulling me down too. After a couple of seconds we both laugh till our sides hurt.
"You're such a dork." I tell Hunter, who in response grumbles something about my coördination. I give him a kiss to shut him up. Then we get up for some hot cocoa.

I grab a small bracelet from my jewellery box. A tear rolls down my cheek. "Crud." I grumble while wiping away the tear.

"We are going to the beach!" Hunter announces. 
No way, this is my third date with Hunter and they just keep getting better. Who knew he was such a romantic. I really want to kiss him. I mean like really really. After arriving at the beach we decide to go looking for shells. We walk along the shore hand in hand. The butterflies in my stomach are almost suffocating me. In a good way. Then out of the blue Hunter pulls me in and kisses me. It's sweet but short. The rest of the date I can't seem to wipe the smile of my face. At the end of the date we visit this ittle surfer shop and Hunters buys me this bracelet with shells from the beach. And in return I kiss him again.

I find some stray clothes of his. "What a slob.'' I mutter to myself, while dumping the clothes in the box. After about a half an hour, a couple tears and one broken snow globe I'm done.

I call Mia. "Mia meet me at the camp, we've got some memories to burn."

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

When I pull up Mia's already waiting for me. We do this more often than you think. 'This' is called the break-up burning. Every time one of us (Sam, Mia or me) break up we gather a box of our exes stuff, build a fire and burn it. Usually it's Sam or Mia doing the burning, but now it's my turn. We find a spot, start the fire and get ready. Mia's brought blankets, chocolate and a little flask. 

A get the box and dump the contents in fire. It's quite satisfying actually. Bye bye, hollister shirts.

After staring at the fire for a while I get really sad. And I start to cry, almost immediately Mia wraps a blanket around me and hands me the chocolate and the flask. I take a swig, the liquor burning my throat, then I take a bite of chocolate. Then we stay there for a while, taking swigs and munching on chocolate.

"Boys suck"

"Yeah''
