Alex's POV
Since the moment I laid eyes on her I knew I couldn't let her in. She was the popular girl, the head cheerleader, the Queen Bee. And what was I? I was just a loser I hung out with the lowest at the low. I would spend my nights at the ravine with Jay when he was my boyfriend. Now he's just a memory I'm trying to get rid of. Now that I look back I see that all I did before I met her was pretty much pointless. The friends I chose all the unnecessary fights I fought all to close up to everyone around me, to close up to the chances to love to be loved. It's funny how I try my best to avoid these feelings I have for her and even go out of my way to avoid her just to have fate put her right in front of me.
"Ahem…"
An interruption to my thoughts I look up ready to tell someone off. Then I notice my interruption was due to Paige nodding her head toward the customers waiting in line.
"Hun, I know how much you love to daydream, but were kind of busy over here. It'll be nice if you could help." Paige says with a high voice meaning she's stressed out and it doesn't help that I'm off at Lala land.
I get up and hurry to help the waiting customers. Oh what fun tonight is nothing beats working on a weekend when I can be partying up with Ellie and Marco Paige's gay best friend. Half an hour later were done serving all the customers sweat pouring down our faces. I just imagine what a mess I must look like, but I'm too tired to care. Paige looks like she's about to knock out, but even then she manages to look beautiful. As I sit staring at her I can't help but smile as she walks over and sits down beside me.
"Now that's what I call a workout." She says sighing heavily, sweat dripping and falling ever so slowly from her face to the floor.
"Yeah…" I mutter as I look away. Damn I must look like a weirdo just staring at her. But I can't help but to stare at this goddess in front of me. "Do you need a ride home?" I ask hoping she will say yes, so I will be able to be with her without having to pretend that I don't care about her.
"Nah… Spinner is picking me up tonight. He's closing up The Dot and then giving me a ride home." She says with a smile on her face. Anger ran through my veins in a second. How I wished that I could make her smile like that even if it were for a moment. That would make my whole life worth living. But I've come to a conclusion that I will never get a chance to be with her, to make her smile like he does, to wake up by her side, to show her that I love her. These are all illusions in my heart, and I'm perfectly fine with them. I'd rather have this little fantasy world of mine than never having her in my life.
Paige's POV
Where the hell is he? I look at my cell phone to check if maybe i've missed a call of his. Nothing... Omg it's almost 11pm and still he hasn't called... The Dot closes at 10 it does not take an hour to lock up the place and come pick me up. Maybe he forgot all about picking you up. A part of me jokes and hopes. I pick up and look up his number and call him.
"Ring. Ring. Ring. Please leave a message for..." I shut my phone and put it in my pocket. That's it if he won't come to me I'll go to him. He should still be at The Dot.
I hurry past Alex who has a smirk on her face. I stop dead on my tracks and look at her placing my hands on my hips. "What's so funny Nunez?" I bark at her. My reaction seems to have soften her up. Which is hard for Alex to do since she always has the I dont care attitude toward everyone especially me. She walks up to me and I swear chills are running down my spine. "I'm guessing he forgot all about you." She says with a small grin.
Damn she guessed it. I roll my eyes at her pretending that her remark didn't have a hint of truth. "What's it to you Nunez? Since when do you care" I say with a bitchy attitude I use towards her at school. Now it's her turn to roll her eyes. "Oh give it up Michalchuck." She says with an annoyed voice. "Let's go see what's taking your beloved rodent so long to pick you up." I glare at her as she chuckles at her attempt of a joke. "Not funny." I tell her crossing my arms across my chest."Oh come on, we don't have all night." She tells me as she pulls me up and drags me out of the mall and towards her car.
Oh I hope he has a damn well excuse in that tiny brain of his, because i sure as hell am not willing to put up with any of his immature remarks today.
