-Melina's POV-
I took a deep breath of the air outside of the school, as I walked in. I walked down the hall, and quicky rushed to my locker. I hated running into Alex at school. Alex was like my main worry in school. He always made fun of me, and picked on me, and I just couldn't take it anymore. Last year, we were like the best of friends. I can remember it all. And then this year, he turned into a total ass. I was always in love with him, and I never had the courage to tell him. But even after these past few weeks, I still have feelings for him. I saw a long brunette strand of hair, hit the locker next to me, looking over to my best friend, Mickie.
"Hey Micks!" I smiled big, shifting my whole body her way.
"Hey Melly. Did you see the man, whos name shall not be spoken?" I let out a little giggle, turning back to my locker, putting my head down, to grab my books.
"No... not yet. And I really hope not too. Did you see him yet?" She forced a little nod. I shifted my eyes on her.
"Yeah, I saw him on the other end of the school. So hopefully, you're safe. But just remember you have your friends." She smiled, as I turned my head back forward, seeing my most perfect friend of all. Maryse.
"Hey Mel, what's up?" Maryse, was practically the definition of 'perfection'. Her hair was a bleach blonde, which I did love. I loved the long hair.
She had a perfect flat stomache, she wasn't anorexic, but wasn't fat. Perfect. She was absolutely gorgeous.
"Oh nothing, I just-" My breath faded away, and I didn't have enough to speak. My eyes led up to Alex's blue eyes. I nudged Mickie a little bit,
while trying to catch my breath.
"Hey, Melina." He said in a sarcastic voice. My whole body went numb, and I had the chills. My stomache was upside down, and I felt like the world was spinning. Most people found it wasn't such a big deal, but I did. Alex just kept going, and it was getting out of control.
"Hi Alex..." I looked down, trying to go around him. His large hand wrapped around my arm, and pulled me back. The conversation went quiet.
He just smiled, then extended his arm, knocking my books out of my hands.
"Come on you asshole! Give her a break!" Maryse knelt down, joining me picking up my belonings. As I gathered all my stuff, I rose back to my feet, looking to Alex.
"What happened you? We were best friends last year! And now you're... an asshole!" I pushed through him, and he turned me around. "Get your hands off!" I slapped him across the face, scurrying down the hall into the bathroom. I threw my stuff onto the ground, closing a stall door behind me. I heard heels quickly clicking, getting closer and closer.
"Mel come on!" Maryse's accent sqeaked.
"Melly come on... he's a jerk, we all know. Please don't cry over it." I opened the door slowly, as I wiped my quick tears away.
"Come here sweety." Maryse pulled me into a hug, her fingers brushing through the hair on the back of my head. She held me by my shoulders,
and looked me dead straight in the eyes.
"Get your stuff, we need to get to class." I turned away, picking up my stuff, and headed to class with Maryse.
"Miss Ouellet, Miss Perez, and Miss James, why are you young ladies late?"
"Uhm, Melina felt sick. So, we went to mae sure she was okay." The teacher hesitatingly nodded.
"Take your seats." I walked across as a sudden obsticle appeared in front of me, which was Alex's leg. As sudden as it was, it was too late to try and get over it. His leg captured my foot, causing me to trip. As him and his little crew of friends shared a laugh, I shook my head in disappointment.
"Asshole..." My throat closed up, as i blinked, trying to hold back any on-coming tears. I sat down in my seat, next to Nikki Garcia. She pulled out a sheet of notebook paper, pulling out her pencil, and began writing. I sighed lightly, as I tried as hard as possible to concentrate on what the teacher was talking about. But I kept zoning out, having flash backs of me and Alex last year.
~FlashBack~
"Alex stop it!" I laughed so hard, I could barely breath. Alex knew all of my weak spots. I laughed and laughed, as I was tickled. He finally pulled away, smiling.
"You're so pretty Melina." I smile grew on my face. No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't go away. My cheeks warmed up, as I gazed into his eyes.
"Thank you Alex." He leaned in, as his lips slowly met mine. My heart felt like it was about to explode. I melted as a feeling controlled my body.
A good feeling. I felt love. Happiness. My grip tightened on the back of his neck. We both pulled away, smiling.
~Reality~ -Melina's POV-
I felt a light thud on my arm, and I looked over at Nikki. There was a note folded up, next to my elbow. I grabbed the note, quietly unfolding it.
"Melina, I've noticed you've been really upset. Just ignore Alex. He's became a total ass in the past few months. But it's gonna be okay. Remember I'm always here for you." I folded it back up, slipping it into my pocket. I looked over at her, as our eyes met. I smiled and mouthed to her "Thank you".
-Alex's POV-
This day was FINALLY over. I headed to the office, and the afternoon announcements were just about to start. I sneaked into the Principle's Office, slipping in front of the P.E. speaker. I pressed the button down speaking into it.
"Hello fellow classmates." I heard my voice echo through the school. "First announcement is Melina Perez, is a whore. She is a loser with no friends, and smells like shit." I heard laughs from the halls. "That concludes your afternoon announcements." I ran out of the office, as I saw Melina running to the doors, and out of the school.
"What the hell is wrong with you Alex? Why would you do that!" Mickie ran up to me, shoving me with her little strength.
"I was... just kidding..."
"Yeah? Well it wasn't funny! People pointed and laughed at her as she ran down the halls, trying to escape it! You have taken it too far! What's wrong with you?"
