A few days, later and things were still pretty.'normal'. Lex's period
finished much to her relief and she celebrated with well, chocolate mousse
of course. She'd started talking to Amber more, and still got on well with
Ebony. The mallrats were beginning to think Alexis and Ebony were the
terrible two. They had a laugh though. Ebony had managed to convince Alexis
to get out of the big baggy jeans and wear tight black ones, much to the
guys happiness. She had killer legs, and she knew it.
Well the mallrats were all sat to dinner, complaining about anything and everything as usual. Whilst Alexis sat in the corner slowly eating her dinner as she flicked through a girl magazine Ebony had leant her. She had no idea why there were pages and pages of products and stuff, nothing really interesting. She lingered over the pictures of cute girl models and thought- hey does this make me a lesbian? With a shudder she turned the page to see a massive poster of a cute guy lying on the beach with his hair tousled and he had a nice grin. NO girly hormones don't make me think he is cute! Alexis begged in her head - either way this makes me seem gay doesn't it? She thought with another shudder and shut the magazine.
"Hey I was thinking maybe we could hold another party here soon," Amber announced making everyone look up.
"Really? An actual party?" Cloe asked with wide excited eyes.
"No Cloe a party that doesn't exist" Alexis rolled her eyes.
"I meant like with a DJ and the cool lighting and music and stuff and people" Cloe shrugged.
"Well yeah sure if we can arrange it all, I was thinking we need some fun around here" Amber said.
"Too right" May snorted.
"Sounds good, so you wanna arrange it for soon?" Bray raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah I was thinking a couple of days or so" Amber shrugged.
"Oh wow I better start planning my outfit now then!" Trudy squealed.
"I hope a load of cute guys come to the party" May grinned.
Alexis had almost fallen out of her seat in fear, but sensibly instead pressed back against the chair and ended up sliding it against the wall, "PEOPLE?!" She suddenly shrieked making everyone look at her with fear, "I mean public people, non mall rate people will be here?" she squeaked.
"Well duh" Trudy rolled her eyes.
"Come on Alexis I would have thought you'd be totally up for a party" Ebony said.
"Yeah it'll be a laugh, and you can get out of that casual gear into something"-
"NO NO NO NO NO!" Alexis said hysterically as she stood up, "There's no way I can go to the party, not like this!" she held her arms out to the sides.
"Hey it'll be fine, to them you're just Alexis, just some girl"-
"Exactly!" Alexis groaned, "or what if they found out? God I can't go, I'll be like totally humiliated and people will be like oh there goes the freak that's sorta transsexual"
"Lex they're not going to find out anything from us" Ebony tried to assure her.
"They might though! God there's no way I'm going to this stupid party, or going out in public ever again!" Alexis snapped and with that she turned and stormed off.
The others blinked at each other.

Pride coughed and shifted on his feet before knocking on Lex's bedroom door. "Lex?" he called through before knocking again.
"Go away Pride!" Lex yelled back, but something in her female voice was different.
"Lex are you okay? Like really?" Pride asked.
There was a moment of silence. "Just go!"
Pride sighed and rolled his eyes, taking in a deep breath before bursting in through the door and then stood there in surprise as the door swung shut behind him.
Alexis was sat on her bed, pressed up into the corner of the wall curled up and was crying. Yep crying, he'd never seen Lex cry before, so seeing him cry as a girl was well, pretty big.
"Alexis" Pride said as he started walking over to the bed.
"I said go away Pride, don't any of you ****** listen?" Lex sniffled as she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "and don't stare at me!"
"Sorry I didn't mean to" Pride said looking at the floor.
"See that's exactly why I don't want to go to some stupid party. Everyone will stare at me like I'm some freak.. Hell I am a freak" Alexis spoke bitterly with a frown.
"No you're not you're just.. Going through. well, um some changes" Pride mumbled.
Alexis laughed bitterly, "oh yeah that's the kind way of saying it"
"Lex I promise you, at this party no-one will stare at you thinking you're a freak" Pride offered.
"Whatever" Alexis muttered looking away focusing on some spot on the wall.
"Look Lex if you don't want to come to the party that's okay, you can stay here I won't pressure you into going if you don't want to. But if you do want to go and have a laugh that's okay too, it might even surprise you, you might forget about things and it'll be okay" Pride spoke as he walked nearer the bed.
Lex sniffed and looked up at him, "yeah?"
"Yeah" Pride shrugged, "whatever its upto you, I'll be going to the party" he watched Alexis shift on the bed. "So. you still don't want to go?"
Lex paused then nodded, "I don't want to go"
"Well okay then, no worries, no need to get hysterical over it" Pride chuckled as he reached over to the box of tissues on the desk and tore some out passing them to Alexis.
"You're.not going to tell anyone I cried are you?" Alexis asked with a small lopsided smile.
"Hell no, I'll keep it a secret so I can blackmail you with it" Pride laughed and Alexis laughed also. "Ah see laughter, no tears, that's good. Ooh That almost sounded like a cheesy no more tears shampoo advert didn't it?"
"Eh well, I'm worth it" Alexis flicked her hair and Pride laughed. "Hmm yeah, so..well...thanks" Alexis mumbled quietly looking down.
"No problem" Pride grinned and ruffled her hair as he turned to leave.
"DON'T MESS MY HAIR!" Alexis yelled and began to run her hands through it to sort it out.
