Chapter VII: Girls
(Paige's POV)
I haven't seen Alex since the party and I didn't have to work on Sunday so I didn't see her then. But you really can't escape from her in here. At school, you're bound to find her. But I couldn't worry about that or her. I was working on new cheers with Hazel for our Spirit Squad. We have an upcoming basketball game coming up and we wanted to show the other team what we're made of.
It was last period and I was too busy thinking of a new cheer in my head. We were supposed to be reading. I had my book opened but was into the rhyming of the words, I didn't notice that Hazel was getting my attention. "Paige," she whispered.
"Huh?" I wasn't paying attention.
"You know class just got out?" Hazel asked me. It was 2:45 and everyone was leaving, even the teacher, Mr. Woods. I closed my book and put it in my bag. Took my white purse and followed Hazel out the door.
"You've been out of it since the party Saturday." Hazel observed.
Wouldn't she like to know what I've been thinking of? Alex? I am way past her.
"Just dealing with the party and cleaning up. Just tired." Yeah, tired of thinking about Alex and that whole fiasco.
"Hmm, okay." Hazel said. We stopped at her locker, which were 10 lockers away from mine.
I heard a familiar voice laugh and turned around and at the end of the hallway was Jay and his gang. And Alex. Damn her. "I pity our school." I heard Hazel say. I ignored them and their antics and waited for Hazel. She pulled out her yellow and blue pom poms for practice today.
Hazel slammed her locker closed and asked, "Ready?"
"Yeah." I said. We walked away and I could feel that I was being watched. Of course when I looked back, Alex was watching me. And I ignored her gaze on me.

At practice, I watched the spirit squad go over the routine I taught them. They were doing good. Then JT slid across the floor and yelled out his part. The music stopped and the girls were tired.
"That was good," I said. "Take 10 you guys." The girls sighed and some yelled out in happiness.
Hazel went off and was talking with JT who took his head off. I know how much it is hot in that costume he has to wear. I was thirsty. I forgot to bring that water bottle with me today and left the gym. There was the water fountain, right near the bathrooms for girls and boys. That's not a good place to put that. I heard some kind of moaning coming from the girls' bathroom and I wanted to go in. No, I couldn't do that. That's an invasion of privacy. What the hell?
I peeked in and saw a blonde figure of a girl that I didn't recognize. But with her was Alex. That bitch. Wait a second. I'm not jealous of it. Paige doesn't do jealousy. Well if that's how she was going to play, then she has another thing coming. I closed the door and stood in the middle of the hallway in shock. Well fuck her and fuck that other girl in there.
I wasn't going to stand here and watch this. I had practice to get back too.

After practice, I got dressed in my blue jeans and a white tank top. My pink poncho was getting too hot for me and I threw it into my bag. Hazel said goodbye to me since she was getting a ride with Jimmy. I was the last to leave the locker room and went straight to my car.
And there sitting on the steps of the school was Alex and she was smoking. I guess that blonde girl didn't do it for her. "Why are you here?" I asked from behind her. She didn't look back or jump at my words. She just sat there and blew out a smoke ring.
"Nothing." She said. She was lying.
"So was that blond girl not good enough for you?" I said. She turned around at that and I smirked at her with my eyebrow raised.
"Naw, she wasn't," Alex replied. She got up and she was wearing that blue button up shirt that was tied up, showing her stomach. "I got sick of her."
"Right. She was that boring." I said. I began to go down the stairs and heard Alex following me. We both crossed the street.
"Smoking this time? What ever happened to your little drinking buddy?" I was referring to her whiskey bottle from the party.
"Gone. It had too much fun." Alex said. For the first time I noticed that we weren't fighting. I didn't feel like it and I wasn't sure about Alex. Alex finished her cigarette and threw it on the ground. She pulled on my arm and stopped me. Turned me around and planted a kiss on my face. I kissed her back somehow. And I pushed her away.
"I'm not going to fall for games, Alex." I said. I got into my car and drove away. Leaving that kiss and Alex behind me.
