Chapter 2: Thinking of Old Fights
A few weeks later and things seem to be calm. Alex though is still being cautious and kept a close look out for Gigi not sure as to what she will do. Dean sighed and then put her arm around Alex. "Don't worry so much Alex." Dean thought for a second and then spoke again. "I'll be back; I'm just going to go to the restroom ok." Alex nodded and Dean ran off toward the bathroom.
"Come on Alex, it's been a month now and tomorrow you start your 'second month' and Gigi hasn't tried anything yet." Harper said and then immediately got a look from Alex.
"Don't ever say yet, that is such a jinxed word." Alex snapped and Harper was about to say something but then Gigi bumped into Alex.
"So sorry Alex, I wouldn't want to hurt the baby." Gigi gave Alex a smirk and kept walking.
Alex then looked over to Harper. "Really Harper, did you have to say that?" Alex asked slamming her locker shut.
Harper gave a nervous laugh and then apologized. Then she noticed Dean heading over to them. "I'll catch you later Alex, I need to get to class early." Harper waved goodbye and was soon out of sight. Once Harper turned a corner she looked around and then found Gigi. "Gigi!" Harper yelled.
Gigi turned around and smiled at Harper. "What do you want Tinkle."
"GO ahead Gigi and make fun of me but don't ever make fun of Alex." Harper shot.
"Is that supposed to be like a threat, not that you could ever do anything to me." Gigi smirked. "I'm going to make Alex a nervous wreck and you can't do anything about it Harpie.
Harper had it and she ran over and punched Gigi right in the face and continued to until the Principle walked in and pulled her off. "You hurt Alex and I'll rip you apart Gigi, I swear I will." Harper yelled as she was being dragged away. Harper also said a few choice words toward Gigi as well. Once they reached the office, Harper had cooled down.
As Harper was being pulled into the principles office; Alex walked by heading off to her class. 'Harper?' Alex thought and then walked around the corner to see Gigi off in the distance. Her nose is bleeding badly as well as her mouth. 'Harper, you didn't?' Alex asked herself both shocked and somewhat impressed not seeing the other side of Harper before. Then the thought of the baby came into her mind and she became angry with Harper. She wasn't sure why she had become angry but she is and then to make things worse, Gigi walked over to her.
"If you thought you're life would be miserable before, just wait Alex. You can thank Harper for this." Gigi turned around angrily and stomped off toward the nurse's office.
Alex absent mindedly put her hand to her stomach and then took in a deep breath. Even after that, she grew even angrier at Harper and she still wasn't sure why since she knows Harper was just trying to help. Just then Harper came out of the office. Alex then jumped all over Harper. "What were you thinking Harper? You know what, don't answer that because you weren't thinking and now thanks to you, Gigi is going to make life even harder for." Harper was about to say something but Alex cut her off. "Just don't talk to me or even get near me." Alex then pushed Harper out of the way and to the ground. Alex just walked off to her next class.
'I'm sorry Alex.' Harper then got up off the ground and ran out of the building and straight home crying the whole way.
Harper sat at her desk writing down things about Harper. She wrote so hard that she went right through the paper. 'Harper, how could you do this to me, I thought you were my friend.' Alex thought and then stopped herself. 'What am I saying; she was just trying to help.' Alex thought and then something else came to mind. 'She made everything harder for me though, what kind of friend does that.' Alex then stopped writing and grabbed onto her head and groaned loudly. Her groaning grabbed the teacher's attention.
"Miss Russo, do you feel ok?" The teacher asked worriedly.
Alex looked up and sighed. "Yeah, I just have a small headache, I'm sure it will go away soon enough though. I'm sorry for the interruption." Alex apologized which worried the teacher even more.
"You need to go home Alex. You just apologized and meant it, you can't be feeling well. Go to the office and call your mother."
Alex didn't feel like arguing and then went to call her mother to go pick her up. Alex got up and left the classroom with the thoughts of what had happened with Harper and Gigi. Alex finally reached the office and used the phone to call home. Alex now has conflicting emotions and couldn't decide which one is the right one. 'On the one hand, Harper was just trying to help protect me but she also got me into more trouble with Gigi. How could she do that to me but then again how was she supposed to know that she would make things worse for me. Who am I kidding, this is Gigi, she use any excuse to make my life harder and Harper should know that.' Just then a hand grabbed onto Alex's shoulder making her jump. "Hey mom."
The two walked to the car and the whole way, Theresa noticed something off about her daughter. "Alex, what's wrong?"
Alex turned to her mother and frowned. "Is it wrong to be made at a friend for trying to protect you even if that person made things worse for you?" Alex asked still with thoughts running through her head. Theresa simply nodded as she continued to look at the road and then shook her head afterward. "I don't get it, how can it be bad and not bad at the same time?"
"In your case Alex, NO one can blame you for being mad. Your hormones are all messed up and so you may get mixed feelings over stuff that doesn't make any sense to you. I'll explain later Alex. Let's get home." Alex nodded and then started feeling better but she is still angry with Harper.
'One month down, eight more to go.' Alex thought as she stared out the window.
