Chapter 10:
"Hey, Sonny, Alexis, did you hear?"
"Hear what, Elizabeth?"
"Carly got expelled."
"How'd that happen?"
"Apparently, she threw a tantrum in the principal's office yesterday."
""What?"
"He heard Carly screaming in the hallway and made her go to his office. He called Bobbie and when she got there, Carly was hysterical."
"I knew I heard someone screaming after I walked away yesterday."
"Alexis, you were there?"
"When he found her? No. Here's what happened: After Chem. yesterday, Carly approached and started harassing me about you." She pointed to Sonny. "Then, Zander came along when she admitted to me that she was using him to get to Sonny and he dumped her on the spot. She chased after him, but he just shrugged her away. I told her that it served her right and walked away. After that, I heard a loud scream."
"Sorry about that, Lex. She harassed you because of me."
"Don't worry about it, Sonny. It's not your fault. Carly's just psycho."
"You're right about that. Carly got so angry that she started trashing the office. She knocked over chairs and threw stuff. The office is still a mess. The principal tried to calm her down, but she wouldn't stop screaming and throwing things. Then, he threatened to expel her if she didn't stop, but she wasn't listening to him, so he had no choice but to expel her. Bobbie is going to send her to a mental institution. "
"How do you know this?"
"I ran into Bobbie at Kelly's yesterday and she told me everything. Well, bye guys. I got to get to class."
"You know, I hate to say this, but I'm glad she was expelled."
"I can't blame you. She drove us crazy."
"Sonny, we need to talk about what happened between us."
"And we will. But, not now. Meet me at our usual place after school. "
After school, Sonny and Alexis decided to go to Kelly's. They needed a place to talk, but they didn't want to go to either of their houses, since they were bound to get interrupted.
"Ok, Sonny, let's talk about this."
"Ok. So, where does this lead us?"
"I don't know."
"I want to ask you something. And be totally honest, even if the truth hurts. Ok, here goes. How do you feel about us dating? What do say, Lex? We can take it as slow as you want. I promise."
"I'd like that. But, on one condition. No matter what happens, we'll stay best friends. I can't stand the thought of losing you. Since I've been here, you're the best friend I have had. You have been so good to me, Sonny. I've told you things that I've never shared with anyone else."
"Right back at ya. You're the best friend I've ever had, counting Jason. Don't get me wrong, he's a great friend. However, nobody listens to me the way you do. You stand by me no matter what. I'd be lost without you. You're amazing, you know that, Lex?"
Alexis' eyes were filled with tears. "Oh, Sonny, that's so sweet."
"It's the truth, sweetie. Best friends for always and maybe something more?"
"You know it." Alexis smiled at him.
"Let's seal the deal with a kiss."
