Chapter 11

Ryan was standing outside of Alexis's dorm room, two shiny gold tickets in his hand. He raised his hand to the door to knock, but he put it back down. "Should I do this?" he thought to himself.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," a scream irrupted from Alexis's room. Ryan bashed his hand on the door. "Alexis, Alexis open up!" he yelled.

The door swung open to reveal Alexis, she was a mess. Her mascara was running and tear trails were all over her face

"What happened to you?" Ryan said as he stood in shock. She just stared at him for along time, eyes burning a hole through him, then she dropped to her knees and cried.

"Jade . . . Jade . . . Jaden bro . . . broke up with me," she cried. Ryan knelt down on one knee, tilted her chin up, and kissed her. Alexis was at a loss for words. Why was he doing this? It took a while before she started kissing him back. Ryan pulled away from her, they were both smiling.

"So . . . got anything . . . planned for . . . Valentine's . . . Day?" he said in between kisses.

"No . . . why?" she replied.

"Wanna . . . go . . . to a . . . dance."

"Sure."

The two stayed in hallway making out and laughing for a good two hours before Ryan had to leave. He wondered why Jaden would break up with her. He told him give his life for her. He couldn't believe him.

The Next Day . . .

Alexis, Jasmin, Mindy were all getting fitted in beautiful dresses in preparation for the dance. Even though Jaden had asked Jasmin to the dance, Alexis wasn't mad.

"I can't believe you're going with Ryan," Mindy said from within her dressing room.

"Me either," Alexis replied. She had told her friends about what had happened and they were still in shock.

"And I can't believe Jaden would break up with you!" Jasmin said.

"Oh my god, please don't mention that asshole's name around me ever again," Alexis whined.

"Sorry."

"Yeah, but don't you think it's too soon get into another relationship," Mindy asked.

"I'll do anything to get Jaden out of my head," Alexis replied.

"So . . . you're just using him to make Jaden jealous?" Jasmin asked. Alexis pondered this thought for a moment. Was she really just using Ryan to get back at Jaden? She liked him, but was it love or revenge?

"N . . . no," Alexis stammered.

"Whatever girl," Jasmin said.
