Chapter 2

As I walk into school the next day, "Lexi!!" I heard someone scream. I turned around to see Rebecca running full speed towards me. But luckily, she did not fall on me. I didn't know why she was so energized in the morning.

"Lexi, we should hang out today. I wanna get to know you more!"

"Yup, me too," Hana said from behind me, "after that incident with Mia, everyone will want to get to know you better." Rebecca nodded and said: "you are the first girl to ever stand up to her, that too on their first day! We stand up for ourselves, but we all were scared on the first day."

"Come on. I did not do anything. I indirectly told Mia not to mess with me," we walked into school together.

As soon as we entered the school, I was ambushed by Zach and Matt, "Hey Lexi, you were amazing yesterday. I could not tell you yesterday," Matt said while slowly snaking his hand onto Rebecca's waist. As we continued walking into school with Brandon in front of us, Mia said: "Hey Brandon, Are you free? I need some help..."

Brandon simply walked past her, completely ignoring her. She slowly turned to me and said: " Look, Lexi, just because I did not say anything after your little stunt yesterday does not mean I am leaving you alone. Remember that Brandon is mine, and if u try anything with him, you will not be able to survive another day in this school." I stayed quiet for a second, " To me, it looked like he didn't want anything to do with you. He simply ignored you, and if it does happen that I try something with Brandon, I don't need to worry about you because you are not his girlfriend." I said and left with a smirk on my face. As I was about to enter my class, Zach said, " Damn, you had to see her face. It was amazing. I think I am starting to fall in love with you," "I know, right me too," Matt said. "Hey Matt, I don't think that is a good idea," I said and gestured to a jealous-looking Rebecca.

I entered the class, followed by Rebecca after some time. Our first class was English, and I asked Rebecca: "Rebecca is it okay if I call you Becky?" She got very excited and nodded her head. I chuckled at her childlike behaviour, thinking I would ask her why she reacted in such a way later after class, along with what happened with Matt.

I had the first break thinking that I was alone. I was walking to the usual spot that Becky told me about only to none other than Brandon. I was about to leave, but something in me told me to go and sit with Brandon. As I was about to sit down a little away from Brandon, I saw Becky and Matt enter. I felt relieved that I was not alone with Brandon. I don't know what he did, but I just can't seem to like him, and I have only met him once. He looks like the guy who would leave in the middle of a conversation or after getting what he wanted. He reminded me of my ex-boyfriend; he was also an arcehole, but it just took me time to realize it, but now I seem to have become an expert in knowing who is what.

I was suddenly brought back from my thoughts when Zach said: " Lexi, Lexi, are you here with us?" "Hello," Hana said. I nodded my head to show that I was in this world.

Becky started to tease me, saying that I was thinking about a guy I liked or my boyfriend. Until I dismissed her by saying I didn't have a crush or a boyfriend. Soon the day ended with Hana and Becky planning to go to the Mall after school on Friday.
