2 more days passed and the mallrats and Lex had were pretty much adjusting
to his change. They always referred to 'Alexis' as she was lovingly dubbed,
as she and often said Lex short for the female name they gave her. They
pretty much treated her as Lex, but found that she'd become more.nicer
and.emotional. The mallrats were surprised to find Alexis and Ebony were
getting on like a house on fire - almost literally when they decided to use
the microwave.
Alexis woke up feeling as normalish as any other time. It was about 4 in the morning as still dark. She groaned as she rolled off the bed, landing with a harsh thwump! She groaned again pushing herself up, adjusting the boxers and t-shirt that were baggy on her. She stumbled up of drowsy feet, forcing her way out of her room to the bathroom.
She stumbled into the doorframe of her room, then groaned as she made her way down the hallway. She tripped over some trainer that was oddly left there and continued on her way. She then reached her destination and opened the door with a sigh before reaching for the light switch, flicking it on.
"AAARGH!" She screamed, jumping back, hitting the doorhandle, as her reflection from the bathroom mirror took her by surprise. She still wasn't that used to seeing a girl looking back, not 'Lex'.
"Damn you stupid gorgeous reflection" she sighed, as she recovered from the surprise.
"WHAT'S WRONG?" A male voice yelled, pushing the door with force, knonking Alexis to the side, stumbling back over the edge of the bath, sitting in with her legs dangling over the bath edge.
"GOD JACK YOU UTTER MORON!" Alexis yelled back, glaring at him as she tried scrambling out of the bath from her awkward position.
"Sorry I uh thought, that, someone or something, um, so, you're okay?" he stuttered feeling embarrassed yet a bit amused.
"Apart from being bruised and having an aching butt, yes" Alexis groaned and still couldn't get out the bath.
"Here" Jack offered his hand to her and stepped forward. Alexis blinked at him.
"I can get out myself" Alexis pouted moodily.
"Yeah sure, looks like you're doing a great job" Jack smirked.
Alexis let out a sigh of annoyance and slipped her small hand into his, allowing him to yank her up, sending them forward, so Jack got pressed against the wall with a smaller Alexis pressed up against him.
She looked up at him wide eyed, and he looked back at her with pretty much the same horrified expression as he attempted pushing her away, then he gaped in shock as she slapped him, hard, across the face.
"Pervert" Alexis growled and pushed him out of the bathroom, slamming the door.
-------------------------------------------------
The mallrats had noticed by around lunchtime, that Alexis and Jack were pretty much avoiding each other. Alexis kept giving him the evil eye and he looked really embarrassed, well they both did, and they'd ignore each other then one or both of them would leave the room.
"Something you're not telling us?" Ellie raised an eyebrow and folding her arms as she stood in front of Jack.
"What? You think?- No! God Ellie, No!" Jack said with a look of incredulous disgust and blushed madly as he protested.
"Well you can't blame him for avoiding Alexis, attitude much" May said from where she was filing her nails at a dining table.
"Hey don't be mean about Alexis" Ebony defended as she walked through.
"God I am in the twilight zone!" Jack said putting his hands over his face and shaking his head.
Alexis walked in to grab some lunch. Her stomach was aching and she thought hmm, must mean I need more food. She had a deep desire for chocolate, hot chocolate at that moment. She spotted Jack and glared.
He looked up at her and sighed, "I'm going I'm going" he moaned and walked out, with Ellie following him.
"What with you and Jack?" May asked looking up from her place at the table, as did Bray, Amber, everyone else there.
"Me and Jack? Nothing! God why are you like all accussing and stuff I mean, what you going to say Bray and Pride have a thing now because they both like trees or something huh? Huh?" Alexis snapped quickly and the others backed off a bit.
"Relax hun, we're not saying anything" Ebony smirked as she sat down.
"Good you better not be" Alexis muttered and ran a hand over her stomach, which pinched. Must. Get. Food. She chanted in her head. "Must. Get. Food" she said out loud, zombie like making the others blink.
"More? What are you like a garbage disposal or something?" Bray's eyes widened.
"Shut up Grease boy" Alexis snapped and went to get some food, "we got hot chocolate?" she called then squealed "SUGAR!"
The others looked at each other in silent fear.
--------------------------------------------------
Alexis lay on her bed with her eyes closed and groaned. Food hadn't helped. Her stomach still felt funny and pinched like. It was making her feel bad, it was odd, she'd never had this weird feeling before. Then again she never has a Girls tummy before. She sighed and rolled onto her side and the pain continued. "Damn it" she murmured and winced as she sat up and headed to the bathroom.
--------------------------------------------------
Amber walked through the mall, seeing as the others had all gone out to the farm or something she thought she'd spend some quality alone time in the mall. So she thought-
She heard a scream and she looked around worried, making her way up the stairs. She then saw a blur of Alexis running towards her, grabbing her by the T-shirt and looking absolutely scared.
"AMBER YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME I'M DYING!" Alexis exclaimed.
"Woah calm down, what's happened, tell me everything?" Amber said as she prised Alexis's hands away from her top.
Alexis shook, "I was like, well, I sort of had a stomach ache all morning right, and I thought it was just hunger, so I ate a lot of chocolate, which tasted better than usual you know and well unlike you other girls I can eat and eat and not put on a pound, well anyway I ate but that didn't help, the pain continued! And right now I just went to the bathroom and.and" she looked like she was about to cry from embarrassment, "I'M DYING I SWEAR!"
"What? Alexis?" Amber sighed thinking she knew what was really wrong, and was thinking how funny it was how Alexis was reacting and stuff. Bless.
"Blood" Alexis barely squeaked out, grabbing onto Amber.
Amber started laughing and saw the hurt embarrassed look on Alexis's face. "Lex, you're not dying" she gave her a quick hug.
"I'm not?" Alexis asked with her eyes still wide.
"No" Amber shook her arm as she put an arm around Alexis's shoulders and led her back to the bathroom, "Hun, you've just had your first period".
Alexis stopped still and went white with horror. "PERIOD?" She blurted out staring at Amber with disbelief, deep embarrassment and shock.
"Yeah don't worry, its natural, well it happens to all girls" Amber explained.
"I.I.Kill me" Alexis begged.
----------------------------------------------------
Alexis hid in her room the rest of that afternoon. It was so humiliating being given 'the talk' about women's bodies and stuff by Amber. It was a scarring experience she'd never recover from she told herself. She was grateful though that Amber could sort her out and be all understanding and nice about it, rather than point at Alexis and laugh and stuff.
Alexis looked down at her lap, "Guys are so damn lucky" she pouted moodily and shifted on the bed.
-----------------------------------------------------
Late that night, Alexis made her way to the kitchen in the dark, and sought out the fridge for a refreshing late night chocolate moose.
She sat down on the floor licking it off her finger and sighed happily. "Did you ever know that you're my hero" she sang lightly to the pot pf moose.
"You're the wind beneathe my wings!"
Alexis jumped startled and looked up to see Pride stood there grinning. "Jesus!"
"No, I'm Pride" Pride smirked and walked over to the fridge, getting himself a chocolate moose.
"Salene kick you out again?" Alexis raised an eyebrow as Pride joined her on the floor to eat moose.
"Nah just couldn't sleep" Pride sighed as he dipped a spoon into the pot.
"Sure" Alexis smirked, "I'm just here because firstly I can't sleep and secondly comfort food"
"Why you need comfort food hmm?" Pride asked eating the chocolate off the spoon.
"Its been a long embarrassing day, believe me" Alexis told him, feeling a blush creep over her cheeks.
"Care to tell?" Pride smiled.
"Well they're pretty traumatic experiences" Alexis shuddered.
"Anything to do with why you've been avoiding Jack and Amber?" Pride asked casually.
"I haven't been avoiding anyone" Alexis protested then seeing the look Pride was giving her sighed and said "Okay Jack maybe but Amber.okay Amber too"
Pride smiled, "come on then tell me, I'm intrigued"
Lex blushed and hid her face behind her long hair, "its reeeeally embarrassing!"
"I won't laugh or tell anyone" Pride told her.
"Promise? Cos if you do I do laugh or tell I'll kick your ***! I'll morph into wolverine and shred you with my nails" Alexis warned.
Pride chuckled, "just tell"
"Well" Alexis took a deep breath, "I'm avoiding Jack because well, in the really early hours um, I was . and he. well I was in the bathroom..i screamed cos well I turned the light on and got scared by my reflection" she watched Pride's face and how he was trying not to smirk as he concentrated on eating chocolate moose, "Jack came running in and well, he managed to knock me into the bath - don't ask, and then well he helped me out and we sort of.well.got into an awkward position" she was blushing deeply, "and I slapped him and pushed him out"
Pride let out a deep sigh, rather than laugh as he looked up grinning, "awww must have been so traumatic for the both of you!"
"It was, so don't joke about it" Alexis dipped her finger into her moose pot.
"He was probably just helping and well, you got to see the funny side of it Lex, I mean" Pride bit his lip as he tried to prevent a snort of laughter.
"Oh shut up you!" Alexis said but smiled shyly as she licked the chocolate moose.
"Right, so now explain about avoiding Amber" Pride pressed.
"Oh that was soooo bad Pride, I wanted to die" Alexis told him, putting a hand over her face, blushing with total embarrassment.
"Ooooh now I really want to know" Pride smirked.
"Well um, I had to get her to help me" Alexis stuttered and mumbled feeling embarrassed.
"Is that it?" Pride snorted.
"No!" Alexis almost shrieked, "it was um, was with, girly stuff" she was an interesting shade of red now.
"Like hair, clothes, makeup and that?" Pride asked with a confused expression.
"No. Girly. Stuff" Alexis grit out and pointed down to her lap.
"Girly stu- oh. OOHH! Oh my god" Pride stared at her wide eyed.
"I know" Lex cringed, "it was sooooooo humiliating! Don't breathe a word to anyone!"
"You poor guy! Is it.does it hurt?" Pride asked.
"It hurts, its embarssing, its horrifying. I wish Bray had periods" Alexis sighed.
"Awww man, I feel for you" Pride shook his head as he ate more moose.
"Not like Jack I hope" Alexis said and they laughed.
"Maybe he couldn't help it, I mean there's no avoiding your.your." Pride said and gestured to Alexis's chest.
She tutted and snatched the chocolate covered spoon out of his hand. "Men, you're all obsessed!" she tapped his nose with the spoon leaving a chocolate splodge and she giggled as she left the kitchen with his spoon.
"Hey!" Pride whined as the kitchen door swung shut. He then went cross eyed as he tried licking the chocolate off the end of his nose, but not managing it.
Alexis woke up feeling as normalish as any other time. It was about 4 in the morning as still dark. She groaned as she rolled off the bed, landing with a harsh thwump!
