19 Dan, Tyler and..Kai!?
(Lexa's POV)
I think last night went pretty good. She's still in shock, of course, but she..she didn't push me away. I got my cupcake pjs back! I told her she could keep them, since i know how much she loves them. But she only wanted them because they reminded her of me while i was away. There is some tension between us, there's no denying that, but it's still way better than i expected her to react. Okay, i should get dressed and leave for college. Nic already left, she had an early class. She's studying to become a psychologist. Her classes shouldn't be harder or that many more than mine, but they are. I actually hate it when she returns from those classes, she's always trying to psychoanalyze me. Okay, clothes, clothes, clothes. I don't have time for makeup or doing my hair. I also have to get to work after school. Hopefully it won't be a busy day. I already fed this morning, but i waited until after Nic left. There's only so much i want to scare her with.
(Runs out)
This is so much fun! I really need to find a place where i can run without getting disturbed.
(At the college)
Back to this stupid "normal" place. Who's..
(Dan)
Hey princess.
How did you know i was here? You turned around before i even called your name.
(Lexa)
That's not my name.
(Dan)
I know that.
(Lexa's POV)
Oh God, he probably gives girls nicknames because he can't remember their real names.
(Lexa)
What is my name?
(Dan)
What, you think i'd forget a name that beautiful?
(Lexa)
Then what is it?
(Dan)
Don't worry, Lexa, i would never forget.
(Lexa)
Okay..what can i do for you?
(Dan)
What's with the attitude? (giggles)
(Lexa)
What attitude?
(Dan)
You were a lot nicer yesterday.
(Lexa)
What? I'm not as easy as all the other girls?
(Dan)
So, i see you've heard about my reputation. I'm surprised you didn't know earlier, everybody knows.
(Lexa)
Wow, talk about self-centered.
(Dan)
Isn't that what you love about me?
(Lexa)
No?
(Dan)
So there's something you love about me? What is it?
(Lexa)
Your absence.
(She walks away and makes it to class)
(Lexa)
Hopefully i'll sit alone. I need to focus and catch up with the things i missed while away.
(Professor Dale)
Miss Capriano, i got a message to send you to the Dean's office.
(Lexa)
Oh, okay. Should i go now?
(Professor Dale)
That would be best. If you can find me after class i could give you the material.
(Lexa)
Thank you.
(Lexa's POV)
What the hell is this about now? I thought things had been taken care of.
(Lexa walks to the Dean's office and sees Dan standing right outside)
(Lexa's POV)
Great. Of course he has to stand right outside the Dean's office. Seriously, i have never met him during the three years i've been here, but now..during these last 48 hours, i've bumped into him more than once.
(Lexa)
Hey.
(Dan)
Well, well, well. If i didn't know better i'd think you were stalking me, princess.
(Lexa)
What? No, i was called to the Dean's office. What are you doing here?
(Dan)
This is like my second home.
(Lexa)
What?
(Dan)
The Dean keeps giving me these lectures to attend classes and shit.
(Lexa)
How are you still a student here if you never attend class? I've seen people get thrown out for less.
(Dan)
What, you want me to be thrown out?
(Lexa)
That's not that i said.
(Dan)
I'm just messing with you. So what did you do to end up here? I thought you were a good girl.
(Lexa)
I don't know, they just said he wanted to see me.
(Dan)
Oh God! I never thought that about you. Are you..are you sleeping with the Dean?
(Lexa)
No! Are you crazy..!? Oh, you're kidding... (giggles)
(Dan)
Yeah, i can't help it. It's too much fun messing with you.
(Lexa)
Well, i'm glad i can help.
(Dan)
You know, i've never noticed how beautiful your eyes are.
(Lexa)
Stop...
(Dan)
Stop what? Giving you compliments? You should be used to it.
(Lexa's POV)
Can my body please just stop betraying me? It's embarassing.
(Dan)
You look good when you blush. Okay, I'm tired of waiting. Wanna go do something?
(Lexa)
What? You can't just leave if..if he asked you to stay.
(Dan)
Not my fault that he doesn't know how to tell the time. You coming?
(Lexa)
No, i can't just leave.
(Dan)
Ouch. Don't worry , i'm not offended. I'll just see you later.
(The Dean's office)
(Lexa)
Oh my God!
(She runs and gives a hug to Tyler)
What are you doing here?
(Tyler)
They released me this morning.
(Lexa)
Where's the Dean?
(Tyler)
He's on a coffee break. I didn't know how else to find you in this place.
(Lexa)
You compelled him?
(Tyler)
I gotta use what i've got.
(Lexa)
It's so good to see you!
(Tyler)
You too. How have you been doing? Adapting well?
(Lexa)
I'm back to my old life of school and work. Where are you staying?
(Tyler)
I was planning on staying at a hotel until i find out where to go.
(Lexa)
You're leaving town?
(Tyler)
Don't really know yet. I mean, there's not much for me here. Until i find something at some other place, i'm staying here.
(Lexa)
But why at a hotel? You could come stay with me and my friend. I kind of told her about me.
(Tyler)
You did?
(Lexa)
Yeah. She's my best friend, more like my sister. I couldn't keep it from her. But i haven't told anyone else. Come on, you can stay at our place until you figure something out. Or well, i hope Nic is okay with it, she probably will be.
(Tyler)
You sure? I'm fine checking in..
(Lexa)
Yes, i'm sure. Just, act human around her. I only told her last night so she's still adjusting.
(Tyler)
She can't know i'm a vampire?
(Lexa)
She can know it but we don't have to, you know, do vamp stuff.
(Tyler)
Thanks, Lexa.
(Lexa)
Of course. So what are you doing now?
(Tyler)
I don't know. I thought i could go buy some clothes and shit. You're still in school, right?
(Lexa)
Yeah and i have to go to work after. My shift is short today so you could meet me there so we can go home. Do you know Levi's coffee shop?
(Tyler)
That's where you work? (Laughs)
(Lexa)
For two years now, yes (Laughs with him)
(Tyler)
Sure, i could come there. What time?
(Lexa)
I get off at 5 pm.
(Tyler)
Nice.
(Lexa hugs Tyler)
(Lexa)
It's good to see you again.
(Tyler)
You too.
(Lexa)
I'll see you later then?
(Tyler)
Yes. Come on, i'll walk u out.
(They walk out of the office)
(Lexa)
Dan? You came back.
(Dan)
Yeah, what can i say? I missed you. Who's this?
(Lexa)
Oh, this is my friend Tyler.
(Tyler)
Hey.
(Dan)
Didn't know you had..friends.
(Lexa)
I don't know if i should be offended or not. I better get going if i'm going to make it to next class. I'll see you around Dan.
(Dan)
Yeah.
(Dan leaves)
(Tyler)
Who was that?
(Lexa)
Just a guy in my class. So, i'll see you later.
(Tyler)
Yeah, i'll come by.
(Lexa)
Good.
(Day goes by)
(Lexa)
Hey.
(Nicole)
Aren't you supposed to be fast?
(Lexa laughs)
(Lexa's POV)
At least she's making jokes about it.
(Lexa)
I got held up. Hey, can a..friend..stay at our place for a while?
(Nicole)
Friend?
(Lexa)
Yeah, a friend from the mansion..
(Nicole)
Um..sure..
(Lexa)
He just got out and needs a place to stay..
(Lexa's POV)
Wow, it sounds like he just got out of prison.
(Lexa)
Sorry, i don't mean to throw this at you. You only just found out and..i shouldn't ask you for this..
(Nicole)
If you trust him, then fine.
(Lexa)
Are you sure?
(Nicole)
Yeah. I'm still getting used to it but it's fine. When do you get off work?
(Lexa)
I have one class left and then i'm heading to work. My shift ends at 5 and Tyler is meeting me there so we can go home together.
(Nicole)
Okay, i just wanted to say that i'm going out tonight.
(Lexa)
Out?
(Nicole)
Yeah, this guy asked me out.
(Lexa)
Of course he did.
(Nicole)
What can i say? Hey, a question..?
(Lexa)
Yeah?
(Nicole)
Did you lose it, while being there?
(Lexa)
What? No!
(Nicole)
Sorry, i had to ask.. Did you want to? With..him?
(Lexa blushes)
(Nicole)
Oh my God! You wanted to!
(Nicole)
That's awesome, Lex!
(Lexa)
But it didn't happen..
(Nicole)
But you wanted it to! That's the first time you've wanted it.
(Lexa)
Okay, exaggerate much.
(Nicole)
This is a big step for you, i'm just here to make sure you take it.
(Lexa)
Well, it's too late now anyways.
(Nicole)
What, you won't get to see him anymore?
(Lexa)
I doubt it.
(Nicole)
Hey, there are other guys you know.
(Lexa)
Yeah. I have to get to class, i'll see you at home.
(Nicole)
Sure.
(Nicole's POV)
Damn, i've never seen her like this over some guy. Her previous boyfriends didn't last because she didn't have deep enough feelings for them.
(Later on)
(Lexa's POV)
My class was pretty slow but i found myself looking forward to work. Serving coffee and pastries might not be so fun, but right now i miss the old routine. But my uniform is hideous, i look like a muppet. My shift was closing in to the end and i couldn't wait to get out of these clothes.
(Lexa)
One medium coffee and a scone, that'll be 3,5$ It's coming right up. Here you go.
(Stan)
Thanks.
(Meg)
Lexa, could you fix the coffee? I still don't know how to open it.
(Lexa)
Yeah, sure. It still gets stuck sometimes. Take over here for me.
(Kai walks into the coffee shop)
(Lexa's POV)
Come on! Open goddamnit! Finally!
(Lexa turns around)
(Lexa)
Kai!?
