~Chapter 2~
The noxt morining Alex wakes up to Katies arm across her face. Alex snorts, "Really Katie?" She pushes her friends arm off using it to smack the still sleeping blonde next to her.
Katie awakes with a jolt. "Wha? What the hell?" She jumps up, frowning she stretches.
"Your arm was all up in my face." Alex explained while standing up to stretch.
"You liked it." Katie teased. She stood and gathered her bag in her arms and made her way to the bathroom.
"I did indeed." Alex answered. Smiling in satisfied when she seen Katie stop for a second and shake her head before walking into the bathroom.
While Katie was in the restroom Alex walked over to her dressers and found a pair of her shorts and slipped them on. She grabbed her favorite t-shirt and slipped it on over her green tank top. Alex heard her phone beep
from the table. She grabbed it and seen it was a text from her mom just checking on them.
"Im starved. How about you?" Katie asks Alex making her jump.
"Jesus! We need to put a damn bell on you." Alex mutters. "Wanna go out for breakfeast?" Alex asked.
"Thats fine." Katie answered with a shrug as she slipped on some flip flops.
"Mind if I ask Derek? See if he wants to go?" Alex asked again hopefull. Katie just shrugs again.
'kicks, wanna go to breakfeast with me and katie?' She texts.
He replys a minute later with, 'sure. just wait for me at my car i will drive.'
'ok.' Alex replys.
A minute later she and Katie are standing outside in the muggy August air when Derek stepped out in shorts and wife beater. Katie gives her a look and Alex instantly blushes rembering last night.
"Where to girls?" Derek asks them.
"Wherever. I don't really care." Katie says.
"Same with me." Alex answers simply.
"Ok then in the car you two." Derek instructs opening the door driver side door to bring the seat up for Katie.
Alex walks around to the passenger side and gets in. Inside the car Derek slips on a pair of aviators beore starting the car. The camaro growled to life. "I never get used to that sound." He says.
They drove awhile in silence befor Katie said from the back, "Alex, I have a feeling a good song is on." Alex turned in her seat to look at her. A slow smile spread on her lips when she noticed the look Katie gave her.
"You know what? I do to." Alex says as she turns back around and turns on the radio and fiddles until she stops on the song they had in mind. Derek gives out a groan while the two girls give a little squeel.
"Oh my god! When will it end!" Derek complained.
The two ignored him and just started to sing, "You don't know ooh-oh oh you don't know your beautiful." Alex pointed at Derek when that part came on. He tried to keep the sour look on his face but couldn't help it and
started to smile. Alex caught him mouthing the words but just let the teasing slip past her tounge.
"Finally we are here." Derek said as he pulled into the lot of the resturant he works at.
"Oh you love that song admit it. You dance to it when no one is looking I bet you. I call Harry he is mine though back off, and you cant take Louis cause he is Alexs." Katie teases him as she climbs out.
"Ah, yes Louis. And his ass." Alex sighs. She and Katie make a dramatic look in the distance and sigh together just thinking of the fine, fine ass. Then slowly a bare one comes into mind making Alex stumble a little as she
walks into the resturaunt.
"Careful there, klutz." Derek says as his hand comes up to cup her elbow to balance her.
"Thanks." Alex says.
"Hey, babe! You did'nt tell me you were coming here." Alex hears from her right. She turns and damn near groans when she see's it is none other than Melissa, but Katie quickly covers it up with a cough like she can read her
mind. Alex gives her a look of thanks while miss princess gives Katie a look of disgust but quickly brushes it off with a smile when Derek steps close to her to hug her.
"I wasn't really expecting it. I got convinced to go to breakfeast by them. Melissa this is Alex, Alex this is Melissa and Melissa this is Katie, Katie, Melissa." Derek introduces them with his arm around Melissas waist.
"Hello. Oh! Booth or table sorry, you distracted me. Stop that." Melissa teases Derek.
Derek just shrugs, "Table is fine." He answers slipping his arm off her slim waist. When their backs were turned Alex looked at Katie and made a gagging gesture. Causeing both of them to snicker a little.
"Here you go. Can I get you anything to drink? Derek I already know what you want, coke right?" Melissa asks already jotting it down.
"Sweet tea." Katie and Alex say at the same time.
"Ha! You owe me a coke." Alex jokes as she smacks Katies arm.
"Damn." Katie scowls and rubs her arm.
Melissa walks away leaving us to look at the menus on what we want. A minute later Melissa comes back with their drinks. "You ready to order?" She asks
"Yeah and this is all one bill. I am paying. No buts, Alex I know you too well you are just like your dad." Derek points out making Alex close her mouth with a click of her teeth. They all made their orders and once again
Melissa walked away with a swing of her hips. I mean really how can someone look that good in a work uniform with an apron? Alex thinks frusterated.
While Alex takes a sip of her sweet tea she feels a kick to her foot. She shoots a glare at Katie who is just smiling and mouths, 'sexy beast senior and runner!' Katie directs her eyes toward the two figures walking toward
the booth behind Derek. Alex just smiles at her wide.
"What are you two whispering about?" Derek asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh nothing really just you know, guys and...stuff." Katie says casually. Alex snorts when Katies eyes land on sexy beast seniors aka Joshs ass when she says stuff as he sits in a booth. Runner aka Thomas is sitting across
from him.
"I do believe I love this place now." Alex answers. Katie hums her agreement.
As if he felt someone watchin him Thomas looks up and catches Alex eye smirks and gets Joshs attention. Josh turns around and catches the two girls staring and winks at them. Both girls look away giggling like idiots.
"Ok who are you lookin at? Oh. Sup' guys?" Derek asks as he turns around and recognizes the other seniors. "Wanna join us?"
"Sure." They stand taking their drinks with and walk toward the three.
Josh sits in the chair next to Katie while Thomas takes the seat next to Alex. He gives her a smile making her blush, she looked over at Katie who was smiling at Josh.
"So what are you up to here lately, Smith?" Josh asks as he lifts his drink up and takes a sip. Both mine and Katies eyes zero in on the muscle that flexs. We quickly look away when Derek speaks.
"Nothing really, just working and training." Derek answers like he says it a daily basis.
"You train on your own right? Or do you have someone else that trains you?" Thomas asked from next to Alex. He layed his arm on the table causeing his elbow to touch hers.
Dereks eyes zero in on that spot before he answered, "Sometimes both. Tonight I am going to the gym actually." He looked up at Alex. His blue eyes flash something but before she could registure he turned away.
"Oh. Thats cool." Thomas spoke. Alex looked down at her sweet tea and took a drink of it. Her throat just got dry all of a sudden. She pulled back causing a drop to land on her lips.
Without thinking she looked over at Thomas and licked her lips causeing his brown eyes to follow her tounge. He started to lean in close to her, she could smell the speirment on his breath. Suddenly as fast it happened he
it ended quickly with him jumped back with a little yelp.
"Oh sorry man. That was your shin? Thought it was the table." Derek said smiling a little.
Thomas just scoweled a little and rubbed the spot where Dereks foot connected with.
"Uh, I have to go to the bathroom. Katie wanna come with?" Alex stood.
"No not real-Ok yeah I guess I have to pee now." Katie said as Alex grabbed her by the shoulder and dragged her with. Alex heard that deep chuckle again coming from Derek.
Once they got in the bathroom Katie instanly started talking, "Ok, what was that about? What did I miss? I was to busy staring at the sexy ass next to me."
"Well Thomas got really, really close to me. And well Derek kicked him." Alex said simply.
Katie let out a low whistle, "Someone a little jelous." Katie mutters.
"He was not!" Alex snapped. Then winced. "Sorry. Really? Derek was jelous? But he has a girlfried. You seen them all lovey dovey." Alex points out with a fling of her arms.
"Yes. And, yes. Maybe when he seen Thomas all over you something finally snapped inside. He's is just to blind to see he likes you, dont give me that look I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you, damn your dumb.
How do you not see it?" Katie practically shouts the last part.
"I really don't know." Alex sighs. "Lets finish back at my house. They probably thought we fell in." Alex jokes as the walk out.
"No they probably thought you fell in and it is my sorry ass who's pulling you out." Katie says.
Alex looses it, followed by Katie. By the time they get to their table they are wiping tears from their eyes.
"Wait? Where did sexy-I mean Josh and Thomas go?" Katie corrects herself causing Alex to start laughing again.
"Oh my god that was so close! You caught yourself." Alex says as she picks up her fork to work on her pancakes.
"They left. Had to go somewhere I dont know. Oh here Katie, Josh left this for you." Derek says and hands her a piece of paper with his free hand while the other holds bacon.
Katie takes it with curiosity as she chews her toast. As she opens it her blue eyes go wide and she starts coughing on her toast. Derek lifts his hand and gives her a few firm pats before she can breathe normaly. Alex takes
the paper from Katies hand with a raised eyebrow. She gives a short laugh when her eyes find a seven digit number followed by a "Call me ;)"
"This is awesome Katie! I am happy for you!" Alex patted her still stuned friend on the back. "Uh, Katie? Hello, earth to Katie." Alex waved her hand infront of the blondes face.
"Huh? Oh yeah I am fine." Katie smiled at ger and Derek.
"So you like Josh huh?" Derek asked as he finished the last bite of his omelette.
"Yeah I do acutally." She sniffed.
"Good you deserve someone like him, hes a good kid." Derek says looking over at her as she takes a drink.
"Aw, thanks." Katie smiled.
"Well, I am done. How about you?" Alex asks.
"I am." Katie speaks up.
They all stand up and Derek grabs the bill that Melissa slipped on their table earlier before dragging her hand over one of Dereks perfect pecks. Alex stared at the hand hoping it would busrt into flames.
"Here, you two can go wait in the camaro while I pay I need to talk to Melissa." Derek hands Alex their finger tips brushed against one another for the briefest of moment. Her heart spead up she wonders if he could hear.
Alex could not speak, her brain stopped working. She could only nod.
She and Katie made their way outside leaving Derek behind to pay the bill. Alex let Katie in first to sit in the back. Alex crawled into the passenger side starting the camaro. Making sure Katie wasnt paying attention, Alex
took a deep breath and inhailed the scent that lingered in the car. Dereks scent. It was strange to say but it calmed her some how.
"So what do you want to do before I leave?" Katie asked snapping Alex back to reality.
"Hmmm. Well lets see...we can go to the movies see the what they have. Uh we can, go bowling." Alex said counting on her fingers.
"Bowling it is. I am not in the moode to go see a movie really. I wanna knock some pins down." Kaite chuckles to herself while Alex facepalms herself.
"Wow Kaite, just wow. Only you." Alex turns back around in her seat while Katie is still chuckles to herself. A comfortable silence fell over the two the music was turned low to near a whisper, though Alex heard a familiar
tune seeping quietly through the speakers.
"Holly crap! I have'nt heard this song in...ever!" Alex exclaimed while turning it up as Daughtry's It's Not Over filled the car.
"Let's start over. I'll try to do it right this time around. It's not over. 'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over." She and Katie sung together. Alex stopped at
the part about love when Derek walked out.
"This love is killing me, but your the only one." She mutters under her breathe as he makes his way to the car.
"Ooh. Good song." He nods as he gets in turns it up and drives off hand tapping to the beat and occasional air guitars. When they stopped at a stop light Alex forgot how to breathe when Derek turned toward her looked
her in the eyes and sung,"This love is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over. Taken all I could take, And I cannot wait." Did she mention he can sing? Cause he can. And he is good. Damn good, too. When the light
turned green he kept his gaze on her for about five more seconds before finally starting forward. A silence fell over them the only sound was the new upbeat tune coming through the speakers.
"He practically just told you he loved you, hun. Better tell him soon." Katie whispered in her ear makeing her jump.
"Easy for you to say." She mutters back.
They all get out once Derek pulls into his driveway. "I am working tonight, Alex just to let you know. Ok? Ok. Bye Katie." Derek calls out and just like that he is in his house with the door clicking behind his broad figure.
"Well bye." Katie snorts. "The hell was that about?" She asks.
"Who knows. Come on the bowling ally is calling us." Alex jokes as she makes her way toward her Chevelle SS.
"To the pins!" Katie calls out. "But first can we go to the mall I wanna look around." Katie asks. Alex just nods and heads toward the mall.

"Ha! Oh yeah. Third strike in a row baby!" Katie brags while throwing a fist in the air. They are on their third and final game of bowling after being at the mall for nearly SIX HOURS. Alexs' feet still hurts from the
walking while Katie is like a damn balarena on her feet. "Lets see my score is a 176. Oh yeah...I'm good." Katie sniffs.
Alex just rolls her eyes and makes her way up to the aile, wincing at the pain in her foot, and picks up her green neon ball wich is glowing from the black light. She takes the three steps forward and the ball rolls perfect then
decides to veer to the right. Knocking over (gasps) two freaking pins! Alex can feel her eye twitch with anger as she hears Katie laughing behinder. She whirles around and gives her the worst glare she can give, causeing
Katie to cover her laugh with surprised coughs. The ball rolls back up to her like its laughing at her. She picks up the laughing green ball and practically hurls the damn thing giving a grunt as she lets go. The ball slides perf-
ectly down the aile and...spare!
"Ha! Suck it!" Alex calls loudly, causing her to get some odd looks from other bowlers. She can feel the blush creeping up her neck.
"Yeah don't get to cocky there princess. Your score is...135." Katie taunts. She is slipping off her bowling shoes and tieing the laces of her Nikes back on.
"Whatever." Alex checks her phone to see it is alread eight-thirty. She too slips off her bowling shoes and slips back on her converse.
As they are setting their shoes on the counter getting ready to leave Alex hears, "Hey girls. Wanna come over hear and play some pool with us?" She looks over to see a medium built guy who looks to be in his early twenties
grinning at the leaning over the pool table.
"Yeah. Come on, I will let you use my stick." The lanky one next to him winks.
"No thanks. I would'nt wanna go near your stick any day." Katie shoots back.
"Who would?" Alex chips in.
They just continue walking out of the bowling alley ignoreing them. They make their way out the doors when Alex feels it, a very sharp pinch to the ass. "Hey!" She yelps and turns, swining. Her fist connected with the jaw
of the lanky guy. Alex glares at him as he rubs his jaw a little before wincing. Katie steps up next to her squaring her shoulders, which she does not really need to do because honetly that girl can take and make a mean punch,
when the medium guy from a minute ago comes out and sees his friend rubbing his jaw.
"Bitch. You better watch your back." He threatens before escorting his friend back into the bowling ally. The two girls don't move from their spot until the guys are no longer in sight.
Next to her Katie lets out a semi shakey breathe. "Lets not speak of this?" She asks as they climb into the car.
"I agree." Alex nods.
The rest of the weekend goes by fast after that and before Alex knows it in mid afternoon her parens are home and then she is watching the tail lights of Katies car fade into the Sunday night. Sighing she turns and walks
toward her house she looks to the right of habit and feels her heart give a sad flip when Dereks car is not in his driveway. She walks in her house to her parents watching T.V. in the living room.
"So did you and Katie have fun?" She gets her looks from her dad and same build. But her mother and her share the sharp cheek bones, thats it. Thank the lord.
"Oh yeah. Lots actually. Now I am tired so, night you guys." Alex smiles at them before heading up to her room. Getting a mummbled 'night' from her mom who was spred out on the couch.
Alex flops on her bed clothes and all from today and switches on her T.V. She stops on MTV a rerun of Teen Wolf is on, but that is fine with her cause it is when the oh so sexy Scott is shirtless...working out. Oh yeah does
not bother her one bit. She gets lost in thought when the scence cuts to Derek(oh lookey there) is running from the cops and slides in the hottest way possible when she can hear her parents down stairs. Their voices grow
louder as they argue. Turning up the T.V. hoping Stiles' big, yet adorable, mouth can cover them up. Nope they get louder.
She sighs without thinking and grabs her phone, and texts the first number she thinks of.
'parents are fighting again. can i come over?' She looks over at the clock after she hits send and groans when she sees its a quarter till ten. Her phone buzzes.
'aw sorry hun. yeah i am not home though i will be in about ten minutes. the spare key is under the potted plant by the front door. just wait in my room. if you want i have sweatpants you can wear.' Derek replies with.
Alex smiles at the text and replys back with 'ok thank you so much :)'
Seconds later her phone went off again, 'any time. and both my parents are working late so its just going to be you for the ten minutes ok? i am cleaning my last table then i will be done.'
Alex sighed and walked over to lock her bedroom door so her parents wont find her gone. She slipped out over her window with ease and made her way to the dark house. Finding the key she unlocked the door and
slipped it back under the plant before closing the door and locking it behind her. Alex walked up the stairs to his room. Her heart thudded a little with excitment and nervousness. When she stepped into Dereks room she
smiled and looked around. A little bit has changed since the last she was in there. She laughed softly to herself when she noticed one thing that did not change. By his bed there was a drawing done by her in first grade of
her and Derek. She walked over to his dresser and took a guess and opened one of the drawers. Thank the lord she guessed right. She grabbed a pair of his grey sweatpants, causing a small breeze to form and making
Dereks scent fill her nose. She smiled and toes off her shoes, slips off her shorts before putting the soft sweatpants on. They were way to big on her so she had to roll them up at the hips. She looked down and frowned,
still three inches too long. Alex just shrugs to herself, the guy is six foot while she is five foot five.
Walking slowly toward his large bed she slowly crawls in it a little insecurly. Laying down she she pulls the blanket up and over her shoulders filling her with Dereks scent and sinks into one of his pillows. Her eye lids get
heavy and before she knows it, she is asleep. She wakes up to the bed sinking behind her. She sighs quietly and rolls over.
"Derek?" She murmurs still half asleep. She scoots closer to him and smiles when his arm wraps around her making her snuggle into his broad chest. She can smell soap lingering in the air. Must have taken a shower. She
thinks.
"Right here." His deep voice rumbles in his chest making her whole body shake.
"Good. Never...leave me." She says before fully falling back asleep.
Derek looks down at her sleeping face before kissing her on the head and answering, "Never." He tightens his hold on her at that like someone will take her away from him. "Never." He growls to himself this time.

Alex wakes up to warm breath on her neck and a arm around her. She stiffens at first but relaxs when she rembers who it is behind her and where she is at. Safe thats is how she feels and knows what she is. Always
in his arms she feels safe. Behind her she feels Derek move, pressing his face more into the back of her neck. Smiling she leaned back into his touch a little. Derek gave a little yawn before rolling over removing his arm,
making her instanly miss the heat. She rolled and faced him and noticed his clock saying it was five thirty in the morning.
"Morning." Derek voice still gruff with sleep. Which is pretty damn sexy she might add. He stretches like a cat, with elegance, his musceles flex beneath his skin.
"Morning." Alex answers her eyes still glued to those beautiful, beautiful arms. "I am going to head over to my house. Climb through the window while my dad is still sleeping." She says while sitting up. Then does she realize
she has to climb OVER Derek because of the way his bed is. Great. She thinks to herself.
She cant look down to hide her blush cause that is where his...well you know, is and she cant look up cause she will get lost into his eyes or just lost into him completely cause the way he is sitting...swoon! Why the hell did
she have to pick a guy who looks like a greek god and a abercrombie & fitch model had a kid together? Damn her luck. She just turns her head and swings her leg over finds a very fasinating spot on the wall next to them
as she straddles him for about three seconds too long and finally her toes left foot touches the carpet. See not so ha-oh damn. Going down! She thinks as her right foot snags on one of Dereks very muscular thigh and face
plants onto the floor.
"Ow. Alex down! Some assitance please." She calls out as she rolls over. Derek laughs at her well with her actually. And stands up holding out a hand to her lifting her off her feet with ease.
"And you wonder why I call you klutz. Klutz." Derek teases looking down at her. She sticks her tounge out at him like every mature seventeen year old will do, causing Derek to snort.
"I will see you later at school." She says while picking her shorts up and shoes. Not bothering to put them back on. "I will return these after I wash them." She gestures to the sweatpants. "Lata." She gives one final wave
before heading out his door.
"See ya. Be careful." Derek calls out.
"Yes, dad." Alex teases.
He stands there and waits till he hears the front door close before stroding over to his window. He watches her as she climbs up the gutter with little struggle. His breathe catches a little as he sees her foot slip but sighs when
she reagains balance and slips in easily.
Coward. Tell her you love her! He thinks to himself. But you also are dating Malissa at the moment. He thinks back. What the hell am I going to do?! He thinks angrily. Derek sits on his bed with his head in his hands and sits
there for a while and finally makes his desicion of what he was going to do.

Later on that day Alex finds herself in study hall with Katie laughing like there is no tomorrow. She glances over at Katie again, who has her 'telescope' out and I watching sexy beast sr like some stalker, and
starts to snicker again when Katie perks up with excitment when he bends over.
"Aww damn. Awww damn! I see a treasure ahead I would like to have." She says.
"I have to agree with you myself." Alex admits stareing.
Sexy beast sr. or Josh stood up and turned to look up at Katie who was still stareing through her 'telescope' causeing Alex to smack the paper out of her hand. Katie gave a startled little yelp but realized why Alex made
those actions. A blush creeped up Katies neck as Josh smirked up at them, she turned her head and looked at the wall behind them.
"This, this is a lovely wall. Dont you agree Alex?" She asks as Alex is snickering so hard next to her she is snorting softly. She can only nod though she knows Katie cant see.
Suddenly Josh is making his way up to them his eyes still on Katie who is very interested in the wall. Oh hot damn! Alex thinks. She brings back her leg and kicks Katie with all her might.
"Mother f-Hello." She cuts off as she see's Josh is standing infront of her.
Suddenly Alex finds herself now interested in the writing on the desk that reads 'Louis loves Harry.' Aww. Alex thinks. She drowns out the two talking next to her until she hears her name and Dereks together.
"What I am sorry?" Alex asks looking over at the two. Josh, who is leaning over the table slightly, looks over at her and smirks.
"I asked her if she wants to go on a date with me." Josh points out. Alex grinned over at Katie. "She made the comment about wanting to go paintballing and wanting to see if you and Derek wanna go with."
"Oh really?" She kicks Katie under the table with such ease that Josh did not see. She gave a mental fist pump for that. "You do know that Derek is dating Malissa right? We are just good friends." Alex reminds him.
"Well as far as I know Derek broke up with her today infront of every one causing her to flip out and smack him across the face. I thought of asking to see if Thomas would ask Alex out, but after what Derek did."
Josh points out.
"Whoa! Hold up. What did he do?" Alex holds up her hand and speaks through her teeth because one, that bitch smacked Derek, and two what the hell did he do to Thomas?
"Well when you two went to the bathroom together during breakfeast, Thomas was checking you out as you walked away, wink wink. And Derek threatened him right there and then saying if Thomas ever hurts you in any-
way he was going to hunt Thomas down and break every bone in his body." Josh says while Alex gapes at him.
"Are you serious?! Cause if you are lieing, so help me god Josh I am sooo not afraid to shove my foot up that perfect ass of yours." Katie says.
Josh gives her a look, "Perfect ass?" He shakes his head and smiles. "Yes I am. But feel free to shove that perfect foot up my perfect ass. I might like it." Josh teases waggaling his eye brows at her.
"Oh dear god!" Alex groans. The bell rings dismissing them home. "Thank you lord. Saved by the bell." She stands and gathers her books and heads for the stairs with Josh and Katie behind her.
"So do you want to double date with me and Katie? I will ask Derek if you'd like." Josh offers.
"No thats fine I will talk to him. I want to discuss with him about the little threat he gave Thomas. When do you plan on going?" Alex looks at Katie, who looks so happy standing next to Josh it makes Alexs' heart give a
flutter of excitment for her friend.
"I guess tomorrow around noon." Katie shrugs and looks over at Josh who nods in agreement.
"Ok. See you love birds tomorrow possibly." She quickly squires away ignoring the glare Katie gave her. As she dodged her way through the crowd she spotted a familiar head weave through the crowd. "Thomas!" She
shouts and pushes her way towards him.
He looks quite nervous when she finally gets up to him. He gives her a small smile and quickly looks around. "Hey, Alex."
"Look I want to apologize. Josh told me what Derek said. I don't know why he would say that to you. I know your a nice guy and would'nt be mean. I hope." She gives a short little 'haha' before saying, "Again I am really
sorry."
Thomas just gives her another small smile before answering, "Its fine. I know he is just being protective. He loves you Alex, I can see it when he looks at you. And you love him too." He points out.
Alex just stares at him her mouth hanging open. This time he fully smiles before closeing her mouth with his hand. "I really don't know how you don't see it. And no, I would have never been mean to you, nor broke your
heart." And with that he turns and walks away, leaving Alex standing there. She finally shakes her head before turning around and head for the parking lot.
Find Derek. She thinks as she scans the halls.
Find Derek. Turning the hallway she looks for his familiar broad back.
Find Derek. She pushes open the door to the parking lot.
Find-found Derek. She thinks as she sees him standing by his camaro talking to a very pissed and loud Malissa.
"And you go and break up with me infront of EVERYONE! What the hell was that about, huh?" She screeches. Alex hears as she nears toward her car she can feel Dereks eyes on her.
"I apologized to you for that. I told you I still want to be friends. But you did'nt take that well and slapped me." Derek says calmly. Alex opens her front door and throws her bag on the passenger seat and starts to get in.
"Yeah and your lucky I did not kick you in the nuts for that. For all I care you are a worthless piece of shit, that can go die in a hole." Malissa says.
"Oh hell no! Bitch, I know you did not just say that to him." Alex says getting out of her car and slams her door so hard the car rocks. Alex can feel her blood boiling in her veins. Oh yeah did she mention she had a very
short temper? She walks up to Malissa who is now snearing at her, and gets in her face. Alex never realized they were about the same height when Malissa is not wearing her heels. "Please say that to him again. Please so I
can definantly have a reason to kick your ass right here and now." Alex says smoothly.
"Back up off me fatass. I am not scared of you. What are you going to do sit on me?" Malissa snips back looking Alex up and down.
"Don't tempt me. And your little size three ass dont scare me either." Alex looks down and sees Malissas hands start to ball up in a fists matching her own. Looking back up she smirks at her, "Do it. Punch me. I dare you."
Alex taunts.
"Alex. She aint worth it." She hears Katies voice coming from the right of her.
But she ignores her and keeps clenching and unclenching her fists stareing Malissa down. They stay like that for about probably another good five minutes before Alex shakes her head, "Shes right. You aint worth it." Alex
slowly turns around.
"Thats right go back to your pathetic friend and that worhtless piece of sh-" Malissa gets cutt off from Alex turning sharply and smacks her across the face so hard, causing the other girl to stumble and her hand to sting.
"I warned you. Call him that again and you'd pay for it. Now get the hell out of here before it's my fist connecting with your pretty face." Alex hisses out. "And if I ever find out you hit him, or any of my friends again, your
ass will be knocked out. Got me?" Alex threatens.
She watches as Malissa opens and closes her mouth like a fish out of water before sticking her nose up in the air and turns on her heel away from them. Alex keeps watching her until she leaves doing a dramatic peel out of
the parking lot in her little Malibu Stacy car.
"Holly hell Alex. I honest to god, cannot believe you just did that." Katie practicully shouts out. Alex turns to her and sees she is standing between Josh and Derek. Derek is standing there in his, damn him, leather jacket
and smirking at her. While Josh is full on beaming a smile. Katie is jumping up and down a little and bounds over to her and puts her in a full hug, which is very rare. Alex though happily returns it.
"Well she called you pathetic and slapped Derek, course I would be pissed." She laughs out and pulls away from Katie. "Damn she had too much botox done to her face because my hand stings." Alex jokes.
They get quiet for a moment before Dere comes up to Alex and hugs her, right there in the middle of the parking lot.
"Thank you. For standing up for me." He murmers. He nuzzled her neck a little and inhailed. "Did I ever tell you smell good? All the time." Derek says. Uh. Ok yeah that, was kinda creepy actually. No really creepy. But oh
well she has a greek god nuzzling her neck.
"Uh, haha. Thanks.." Alex says a little unsure. He just takes another sniff and pulls back, smiling down at her. "Ok. I think we'd like to go paintballing with you two. Am I right Derek?" She looks up at him and he nods.
"Yay! Alright then its us girls against you guys." Katie says as Alex walks over to her and they knuckle pound one another.
Josh snorts. "Thats cool cause, Smith and I here will kick your asses." He walks over to Derek and they too knuckle pound one another.
"You are soooo on pretty boy." Alex shoots back.
"Tomorrw. Noon. Us two against you two." Katie sets the date.
"Done." Derek smirks and sticks his hand out to Katie who easily takes in return before giving it one good shake.
Alex smiles at her friends and hopefully new friend she thinks as she looks over at Josh. Well we will just have to wait to see how tomorrow goes.
