Hi guys, wow! I am overwhelemed by the response I get. Thank you each and every one of you! I loved all of the reviews I received. I am happy to be updating again, and if I get good responses and you all like it, I may update again tonight because I am enjoying writing this a lot! (:
The class dragged on a little too long for Mitchie's liking. It consisted of awkward glances between her and Alex and only talking when extremely necessesary.
"So, do you want to come over my house to do the assignment? Or do you want me to come over your house? And one more thing, I'm not doing all the work. You are helping whether I have to kill you or not." Alex said all in one breath, not even looking up at Mitchie. Alex really didn't like this new girl. Mitchie thought for a second, she really didn't feel like entertaining guests, but then again she really didn't feel like faking nice and polite small talk should she run into any of Alex's family. Mitchie weighed up her options and decided on the least painful option.
"You can come over my house tonight." Mitchie said as she wrote down her address and slipped it over to the other girl. Mitchie got up and picked up her bag, and left without another word. The rest of the day passed rather too fast for Mitchie's liking. She wasn't looking forward to the pending events of tonight, all Alex related.
Mitchie laid on her bed staring at the roof for what felt like hours. She looked around the room at all the clothes everywhere, she momentarily debated whether to tidy up for when Alex gets here. After a careful inward debate, she decided against. Why bother? She wasn't trying to impress anyone. Mitchie decided to go downstairs and get a drink when she heard the bell ring. She bounced down the stairs and checked the window next to the door to see who is was. Seeing it was Alex, she opened the door her and turned to walk through to the kitchen. Alex rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her, following Mitchie into the kitchen. Mitchie held up a cup and a bottle of soft drink, silently offering alex a drink.
"Yes. Please. Do you speak?" Alex asked, getting frustrated with Mitchie's rude attitude. Mitchie glared at Alex and finished her drink.
"Come upstairs so we can hurry up and get this over with." Mitchie said as she walked past Alex and up to her room. Alex followed and walked into Mitchie's room, glancing at the mess on the floor.
"Wow, you really cleaned up for me huh?" Alex said sarcastically. Mitchie let a small giggle at alex's witty humour before catching herself and returning to her cold demeanour. Alex observed this and wondered what was up with this girl.
"It's okay. You can laugh and smile...I won't tell anybody." Alex said, and Mitchie raised an eyebrow. She chose to ignore Alex's comment as she picked up the clothes on the floor and dumped them in her closet. Alex looked around at the posters decorating Mitchie's walls and was impressed with her taste in music.
"I really like your taste in music." Alex voiced her observations outloud. Mitchie raised an eyebrow at the girl infront of again and Alex couldn't help but find it cute. Alex thought Mitchie was still rude. Rude, but cute.
"Thanks." Mitchie said as she sat on the desk opposite Alex.
"You can sit next to me, I don't bite...unless you ask me to." Alex said with a wink.
"I think there is somebody else who is more inviting to your bites, thank you." Mitchie replied as she moved to sit next to Alex.
"Wow, I have never heard you form so many words before." Alex said with fake shock.
"You don't even know me." Mitchie said starting to get angry with Alex's attitude.
"Well whose fault is that?" Alex said with equal anger as she stood up, nose to nose with Mitchie. Mitchie stayed quiet. Alex wasn't finished with this conversation.
"Seriously Mitchie, what the hell is your problem?" Alex said getting extremely frustrated.
"Right now? You are." Mitchie said not breaking the staring contests currently going on between the two girls.
"Screw you." Alex whispered as she sat down. "Can we hurry up and get this done so I can leave?" She continued. Mitchie calmed down and sat next to Alex. They pulled out their assignment and books and began working on it together, in silence. After Mitchie got bored she started thinking about Alex and the girl she kissed in class earlier.
"So how long have you know that you liked girls?" Mitchie piped up out of nowhere.
"I never said I did." Alex answered her without looking up from her work.
"You didn't have too, kissing barbie in science was answer enough." Mitchie said, looking back down at her works, doodling on the paper with her pen. Alex looked up from her work and put her pen down, not taking her eyes off Mitchie. She didn't get this girl at all.
"Are we talking and friendly now all of a sudden?" Alex said, still glaring at Mitchie. Mitchie slowly looked up from her paper, feeling guilty for treating Alex so badly. She sighed and threw her book to the side.
"I am sorry, okay? I'm sorry for treating you bad." Mitchie said, letting her guard down a little. Alex nodded and gave Mitchie a small smile.
"And..." Alex said, urging her to go on. Mitchie sighed again before answering.
"And for being rude to you." Mitchie said to Alex sincerely.
"And..." Alex continued to urge. Mitchie gave alex a soft glare.
"Don't push it." She said relatively nicely.
"Okay, sorry." Alex giggled and she softened her features. Mitchie smiled at Alex, and she couldn't help but like this girl. Much to her dismay.
"You have a really pretty smile, you should do it more often." Alex complimented and was completely serious on the last note.
"Don't get used to it." Mitchie said half joking.
"Why?" Alex wondered curiously. Mitchie raised an eyebrow again, confused by Alex's question.
"Why? Why what?" Mitchie asked, honestly having no idea what Alex was asking.
"Why don't you smile?" Alex asked somewhat sadly. Mitchie thought for a second, not really knowing what to say.
"It hurts to smile." Mitchie said simply, but truthfully.
"Really? Do you get botox?" Alex said in all seriousness as she poked Mitchie's cheeks curiously. Mitchie couldn't help but laugh at Alex as she slapped her hand away playfully.
"No dork, I didn't mean it like that." Mitchie said in a 'duh' tone.
"Oh." Alex said, finally realising what Mitchie was talking about.
"Yeah." Mitchie said awkwardly, suddenly feeling exposed.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Alex asked genuinely. She cared for this girl, she didn't know why however. It's not like Mitchie was overly inviting.
"Not really." Mitchie said, even though a part of when wanted to cry, and rant, and spill her guts to this girl that she'd just met. Realising this, it didn't take long for Mitchie to put her wall back up. Her soft look was replaced with the cold one. Alex looked at her, instantly regretting asking. She decided not to push Mitchie any further.
"Uh, anyways, it's getting late. I should go." Alex said as she stood up and straightened her clothing out.
"Yeah..." Mitchie said, not wanting to let her wall down again. Alex left without another word and Mitchie laid back on her bed, exhausted by the evenings events. She hadn't talked that much in months.
Don't forget to leave lots of reviews and comments please, I LOVE reading them all! I'll update soon...maybe! ;). Peace and love!
