Falling for a Bully

Chapter 5-Falling for a Bully

Alex's P.O.V

Finally! All of my homework are done! I glanced at my clock- 6:30pm. I have exactly 30 minutes before the dinner. I undressed and wrapped myself with a towel and entered the bathroom. I took a quick warm shower. I sure smelled like peaches after that. Wrapped with a towel, I opened my wardrobe and decided on what to wear. Something formal as the dinner was in a posh restaurant. Hmm... the strapless maroon dress that fell just above my knees or the strapless glittery dark blue dress that fell to my feet. The maroon would be perfect. It's not like prom or anything, right? So need to look too glamorous... I slipped myself in the maroon dressed, curled my hair with my hair curlers and applied eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked great!

Someone knocked on my door.

"Honey! We're leaving soon!" my mom called.

"I'm coming!" I replied.

Grabbing my purse and heels, I ran down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, I slipped into my matching heels and walked of the house, locking the door behind me. I hopped into our family car and drove off.

"Darling, you look fab!" my mom complimented, turning her head around to face me.

I wore a smile.

"How's school?" Jason, my older brother who was in senior high school, asked me.

"Umm...ok."

"I heard you got bullied."

"What? How did you know?"

"Alex, why didn't you tell us you were bullied? Why?"

"I don't know... He thinks I'm a loser."

"Dave, Carly's older brother told me."

"Oh."

"Alex, next time you get bullied, tell me and I'll kick his ass." my dad said, sounding stern.

"Thanks, dad." I smiled at him through the rear mirror.

Then it was an awkward silence. We reached Carousel in time to find dad's boss's family get off their car. Is that Justin? He was my dad's boss's son? I hoped I'll survive throughout the whole dinner. He looked great though. His black suit matched his golden locks and blue eyes that were glistening in the moonlight. Jason gave me a look stating that he knew that Justin is here too. My family got off the car while I continued admiring Justin's figure. He caught me staring at him again and smirked at me. I got off the car looking away, blushing. When I looked back at him. He was checking me out.

"See something you like?" I asked him.

He looked away. I chuckled. My parents greeted his parents. I found out he had a younger sister who is probably about 5 years old.

Justin's P.O.V

Alex's mouth was hung agape when she saw me. She was totally checking me out. I smirked and she quickly looked away. When she got off the Mercedes Benz, I was blown away by what she was wearing. Wow! She sure looked amazing.

""See something you like?" she asked me.

I quickly looked away to blush. She then chuckled. She still dared to mess with me after what I've done to her. All of us sat at a round table whereas my sister, Sarah, sat in the baby chair. We were served with water and then our appetizers. Alex sat opposite me. I glanced at her she was looking at me again. I smirked.

"So, you're Justin right?" Mr Lee, Alex's dad asked me.

I nodded.

"Are you friends with Alex?"

"Umm...yes." I lied.

Mr Lee turned to look at his daughter and smiled, "Well, I'm glad you're friends with Justin.".

Alex's P.O.V

How dare Justin say that we were friends! He is a liar! He bullies me instead! I really want to tell dad that he is the bully but I'm scared that Justin will ruin my life forever. I'll just have to control myself from provoking him and ignore him in school.

"Alex, I was hoping if you could babysit Sarah when my wife and I have to go for our wedding anniversary dinner tomorrow since Justin has football practice. Are you free at 6pm tomorrow, Alex?" Mr Evans asked me.

"Sure, I'll babysit Sarah."

"Thank you very much, Alex. We are just two houses away from your house."

I nodded. Throughout the whole dinner, I enjoyed my food whereas the rest talked among themselves.
