"Hey, Alexis," I heard Evan say from the cafeteria doors. They closed right behind him.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Y'all ready to go?" he said, pointing to the auditorium and finally looking at the other girls. I nodded my head and started walking on the side of him. "I'm giving you a ride home right?"
"I would hope so. Otherwise, I'd have to walk. And these are not walking shoes," I said with a laugh, pointing to my small heels.
He laughed, too. "I just have to tell Mrs. Broussard something and we can leave and go work on your shed." He opened the door and ran to the stage. He said a few words to her then turned and smiled at us. Mrs. Broussard followed her gaze and smiled, too, looking back at him and saying what seemed like 'ok.' After, he gave her a hug and ran back to us. "We just have to make a quick stop and then we can go work on your shed."
"Ight. Let's go," I said.
We walked out of the doors, me by Evan's side and the girls behind us. "Where are we going exactly?" I asked him.
"Wally, Wally World." I looked him like he was stupid. "What? You've never seen that video?" I stayed staring at him. "Wow. You have missed out. I'll have to show it to you."
"Ok?"
"Alexis!" I turned around and saw Bradley running towards me.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Look. I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean for any of that to happen. It's just that I told him you were hot and that it'd be cool to hang out with you. But honestly," He looked at Bailey.
I followed his gaze and smiled. "Hey guys," I said to all of them. They all looked at me. "I'll meet up with you in the car, I just have to talk to Brad here," I looked at him and put my hand on his shoulder, "for a quick second." Evan started walking again and so did Morgan. Bailey stood for a minute looking at the both of us, smiled at Brad, and ran to catch up with Morgan. "Ok, so what were you saying?"
Brad followed Bailey with his eyes, and then came back to reality when he heard what I had said. "Huh? Oh. Right. Well, Bailey's my neighbor and she has been for a while but I don't even think she knows I exist. And when I saw that you were hanging out with her I just mentioned it to Ashton how you were hot and how it'd be cool if we hung out and how I'd be able to hang with Bailey, too, but he cut me off before I could say anything about Bailey."
"Oh. She's your neighbor?"
"Is that all you caught out of that whole thing?"
"No, I just didn't know she was your neighbor. If you want I can bring you up to her and tell you what she says. Here memorize this number or you know what just ask Ashton for my number and text me. I'll tell you what she says."
"Ok. Thanks. You're really cool."
"I know that," I said smiling and flipping my hair off my shoulder.
He gave me a confused look and then smiled. "Alright. Later," he said, walking away.
"Bye." Just then, I heard a car screech behind me.
"Alright. Let's go." Evan said. I got in the passenger seat of his truck and we took off.
"That guy looks really familiar," Bailey said. I simply smiled to myself. "But he hangs with Ashton. Maybe that's where I've seen him. Do you know where I've seen him?"
"He's your neighbor, Bailey," Morgan said. "You can see his room through your window. Talk about sexy body for a scrawny boy."
"Is he really? I didn't know that," Bailey said, still unsure of herself.
Mmgttmbmmgttmbmmgttmb
"Ok. That was the last mirror that we found in your garage where your mom left them," Evan said.
"Thank you so much for doing this," I said, patting the seat next to me on the futon. He was there in seconds. "Water?" He nodded his head. "Ight. I'll go get some. Anyone else."
"Nah," Morgan and Bailey said in unison. I walked out of the shed and into the house to hear the front door open and close.
"Hello?" I yelled.
"Why are you yelling?" Ashton answered.
"Oh my god." I grabbed a water out of the fridge and started walking to the back door.
"Where ya going?" Brad asked.
I turned and looked at him. "Hey! I talked to Bailey earlier. She actually brought you up so I didn't have to. She couldn't remember where she had seen you. But Morgan told her that you were her neighbor and how you had a sexy body for a scrawny boy." I laughed and looked him up and down. He was wearing a wife beater and gym shorts. He was sweaty and the sweat made his shirt cling to his abs. "Can't say I blame her for thinking that." I smiled at him and walked closer to him. "You know you should let me give you a make-over. Not with make-up or anything. It'd give you an excuse to be in my room." I looked at Ashton as I said the last sentence.
"Yeah, that'd be cool. Thanks."
"No problem." I smiled at him and winked at Ashton, then started to walk away.
"What was the wink for?" Brad asked Ashton when he thought I couldn't hear.
"I don't know. And I certainly do NOT want to find out." I smiled to myself and closed the back door.
