Chapter 1.6

|| Alex P.O.V ||

Another day in this hell hole also kindly known as S-C-H-O-O-L!
I seriously don't see why we have to come here like 5 times a week, why can't we just come in for a day and have the rest as weekends!
That would be so cool! If I ever land myself a kingdom I'd be sure to do that but until then I have to live with very short weekends that just goes away with a blink of an eye! And especially this weekend has been horrid cause of Luke and Quinn, they make me sick!! Why did they have to meet each other? WHY?

I hold on to my messenger bag and walk towards my locker. The hallway was the same old same , people running everywhere and lots of whispers and loud talks and LOTS of gossip.

I slowly made way to my locker and I saw that Faye and Kate were already there. I just took a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face to get through the day cause it was one of those self-loathing days for me and NO I'm not on my periods , I just don't feel good and I might rip your face if you dare cross my path. Like seriously!

I pulled in my beanie as I felt it slide down and I walked up to my only two friends who have been too busy with their boyfriends to spend their weekends with me.

"Heyy!! How was your weekend?" Faye was the first to greet me.

"Great..I had a great time baby sitting Quinn" you could feel the sarcasm ooze out of every words I spoke. Kate just cringed her nose cause she knew that I hated when Quinn came over for a visit.

"How long will she be here?? I'm sure she'll only be here for couple of days, so be nice" Faye patted my shoulder.

"You sound like Mom, please stop!" I groaned and opened my locker and stuffed all of my books. I pulled down my beanie cause it kept on falling and sliding down.

"Bad hair day?" Kate asked as she noticed my struggle with the beanie.

"Bad face day?" I snapped and immediately realized that it was unnecessary and I apologized instantly "I'm sorry! I'm not in a good mood"

"Oh c'mon , she isn't that bad!" Kate tried her hardest to lighten up the mood but as soon as I shot her a look she just shrugged it off.

"She came home with Luke last Friday" I said abruptly.

"She what?? As in Luke? THE Luke? The one that you asked to pretend to be your boyfriend?? The one who calls you puppy?? Luke Hemmings?" Kate looked like somebody just told her that Aliens exist..Oh wait , they do! They do, right?

"Yeah"

"Wow, that must have been awkward!" Faye was as surprised as Kate.

"It sucks that you have a crush on Luke and then Quinn comes in and messes it all up!" Kate whined as she closed her locker and rested against it and I could see a smirk on Faye's face as Kate referred that I have a 'crush' on Luke.

I shut my locker immediately and looked around to see if anyone heard it, thankfully no one did.

"I got a what on Luke?? I don't have a crush on Luke! What?? No way! " I spoke between a whisper and a scream. I could feel my palms getting sweaty so I just rubbed them off in my jeans and continued glaring at Kate. She knows that I don't have a crush on Luke! I know that I don't have crush on Luke. I can't have a crush on Luke! I just CANT .

"Yeah sure!" Faye rolled her eyes.

"I DONT HAVE A CRUSH ON LUKE!" I lost my cool and maybe shouted out a bit too loud when the girls next to our locker glared at me and walked away giggling.

"Jeez, guys why would you ever think that I have a crush on Luke?" I asked though I didn't want them to reply cause they'll probably sound very reasonable.
