Chapter One (Part Two)
"What do you think of this?" Paige asked as she walked out of a dressing room of Wet Seal, wearing a black laced tank top. The blonde looked at the material, "Yes or no?"
Alex turned around from a rack of clothes and eyed the girl in front of her. She lifted a brow, "What are you going for?"
"I don't know… cute?"
The raven haired girl pursed her lips, "Then the answer is no."
"What's wrong with it?" Paige frowned, looking at Alex.
"Nothing, it's just you don't look cute in it."
The blonde's jaw dropped, "Excuse me?"
Smirking, Alex stepped over to her ex and gently closed her mouth with the tips of her fingers. "You don't look cute in it… you look hot and I don't know if it's a word, but you look 'mind-blowingly' hot.." Fingers still touching soft skin, it lingered, then pulled away.
Silence made its way between them for a few seconds.
"Thanks," murmured the blonde, her face painted with a light flush. Taking a step back toward the dressing room, she scratched her neck. "I'm gonna go… change." The girl made her way out of Alex's gaze by walking in and shutting the door.
Eyes on the spot Paige had just disappeared to, Alex crossed her arm and for a quick moment, insecurity showed through her dark colored eyes.

"Out of all the places, you just had to work here?" grinned out Paige, her arms on the counter.
Alex shook her head and watched Jay scoop her popcorn.
The bad-boy rolled his eyes, "I'm guessing that everyone said the same thing to you when you worked in this oh-so lovely theatre."
"Heck yeah," drawled out the blonde. "Anyway, why are you working legit? Shouldn't you be helping some local sleaze peddle drugs?"
Handing the bag filled of popcorn to his ex-girlfriend, Jay glanced at the former Queen-Bee of Degrassi. "I'm trying to see what it's like living by the rules." He punched in a few things on the cash register, "Total comes to four dollars and twenty cents."
Giving him a five, Alex told him to keep the change.
"How's that job at the pet store going?" he asked as he placed the money in it's rightful place.
"I hate it, but it's way better then when I was here," Alex threw out.
"Um, hello? Can you, young man, stop the chit-chat and get me a drink?" a man complained from behind the two girls.
Paige pulled on Alex's arm, "Come on, we've got a movie to watch."

She frowned at the screen in the dark theatre. The movie was totally boring. Casting an eye next to her, she caught Paige staring at her. The blonde smiled shyly and she did the same. "Why did we agree on watching Out In the Ocean?" whispered Alex.
"I really don't know," Paige confessed.
"Want to ditch it?"
Without answering, Paige stood up and held out her hand to Alex.
Accepting it, the dark haired teen let her ex lead the way.
TBC… feedback?
I'll have another update tomorrow in the evening or so… if you want?
