Marco returns back to the table and Ellie looks up, "So how's Dylan?"
"He's doing ok…He said to tell everyone hi"
"We went ahead and ordered for you since you were taking so long", Alex replied
"Sorry I hadn't plan on taking that long"
"Sure no problem"
"So what's up with Dylan?"
Marco took a sip of his drink, "Oh he is heading to Banting to see Paige"
'Paige…Banting…' Alex thought about the two things that she had been pretending didn't matter which actually did. She had been lying to her friends when she said that she was over the blonde. There was no way in hell she could be over Paige, even after Paige told her that it was over. She still wanted to be the one to that held Paige when she was sad and to kiss her and make her laugh. But Paige had told her that there was no chance for them, since Alex didn't even think about trying to reapply at Banting. Alex didn't think she was college material and what made worse is that Spinner had told her that she would never fit in Paige's world no matter how hard she tried. There were only two people who knew the real reason Alex decide not to go to Banting, one was Darius and the other was Hazel. Both people had agreed to keep her secret, even though Hazel thought that she should tell Paige.
'What good will that do?'
'She deserves to know Alex…She loves you'
'Yeah well I think Spinner is right, as soon as we get to Banting, she will find another person who deserves her more than me'
'Come on you and Paige belong together'
'Not anymore Hazel…She is going to be a success and I am not'
Hazel sighed, 'Alex…She is going to be heartbroken'
'Not if I make her see that she is better off without me'
'Fine…Whatever'
'Just wait and see'
Alex thought she was doing what was best, but in the end it broke her heart more than ever.
