Chapter 1 - EPISODE 1

LEX'S POV

"Let me go!", I screamed at the top of my voice in a commanding tone but instead, I got a slap across my right cheek.

"Shut up, bitch! Your boyfriend isn't here to save you now", Tara Jenner said mockingly.

"He is not my boyfriend", I said in tears.

" Whatever! I think I'm done here", she said and left with her followers, one of which include my step sister Natasha Banks.

 Today, just like any other day, I cried till my eyes were puffy. I picked up my bag pack from the floor and walked into the school's hallway. Upon reaching my locker, I saw my best friend Aiden Maccoy and his friend Louis Donahue, who happens to be Natasha's boyfriend.

 I avoided eye contact with them and started arranging my books inside my locker. After some seconds, I heard footsteps approaching me. I sighed knowing fully well who it was.

"What up, Lex", Aiden asked behind me but I didn't reply coz I knew he'd detect the pain in my voice.

"Lex? Lexy?", he called before turning me to face him.

When he saw my face, he let out a soft gasp, and at that I bursted into fresh tears.

"Who did this to you?", he asked with concern and anger.

"Tara Jenner, she's been bullying me ever since sophomore year", I managed to say.

" What?! Have you reported this to the school authorities?", he asked and I shook my head.

"Why?"

 ============================

Hey, everyone before we continue, my name is Alexandra Banks, daughter of Bethany and Damien Banks. Sadly, I never knew my mom. She passed away while giving birth to me. My dad and I lived happily until one day when a woman who goes by the name Alicia moved in with us, because she was dad's high school sweetheart and he got her pregnant before they broke up.

We did a DNA test and it turned out Natasha is my step sister. She and her mom have made my life miserable and the only person I could talk to about it was Aiden Macoy. We became best friends when we were five. He's an only child so he takes me like his sister.

Growing up Natasha was cruel to me and eventually, she became my bully when we started attending WILTSHIRE HIGH together.

Back to the story ....

 ===========================

"I'm scared she'll do something terrible to me", honestly speaking,Tara is capable of anything.

" Come on, I'll take you to the school nurse", he offered and I nodded.

....In the infirmary......

 AIDEN'S POV

I took Lexy to the infirmary for treatment. I already knew the reason why Tara kept bullying Lexy even if she won't tell me. Tara has a crush on me but I don't feel the same way so she thinks Lexy is my girlfriend and she's jealous. I've been in love with Lexy for years now and I'm scared to tell her. I'm scared she'll reject me or something like that.

"Hey, nurse Judy", we greeted the nurse.

"Hi, guys, Lexy, I didn't think you'll be back here till never", Judy said.

"What's going on, girl?", she added.

"It's nothing", Lexy replied, lowering her head.

"If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine but try to stay out of trouble, okay?", Judy advised.

"Thanks", Lexy said with a small smile.

"Ok let's get that checked", Judy said before examining the bruise on Lexy's face.

We stayed at the infirmary for about 30 minutes more after Judy attended to Lexy. They were talking about girl stuff while I was in my own little bubble.

"Aiden! Aiden!!", Lexy snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hey, uhmm what happened?",I stuttered.

"I've been calling your name but it seems like what you're thinking of is more important. It's time for class", she retorted and left, leaving me stunned.

"Go after her!", Judy said bringing me back to earth and I had forgotten she was there.

I hurriedly carried my backpack and left looking for Lexy. I found her entering History class and sitting at her usual seat: the back seat. Although I complained about it, I didn't mind sitting with her. Just to be clear, I did it so I could stare at her and keep all the jocks away cos I don't want them around her.

I sat next to her before speaking.

"Hey"

She just looked at me and continued what she was doing.

"C'mon", I used my elbow to nudge her rib, but she didn't answer.

"Ok, fine, let me make it up to you, I'll take you to Gina's Bistro", I said fully aware that she can't resist.

" Really?", her eyes lit up as she spoke.

" Yes", I chuckled.

" Ok then, you're forgiven"

I was about speaking before the teacher walked into the classroom.

...An hour later

"And that would be all for today. Don't forget to turn in your assignments before the end of the week", the teacher rounded up but I was too busy staring at Lexy to even care.

"So, I'll see you after my next class?", Lexy spoke, which caused me to regain posture.

"Yeah", was all I could say as I tried to fight back the blush creeping on my cheeks.

....At the close of school

I was waiting for Lexy at the parking lot, beside my car. She had texted me earlier that she was on her way so I had to wait.

She showed up after 5 minutes and said.

"Sorry, I'm late"

"No worries. You ready?", I smiled.

"Yeah", she squealed in delight.

"Okay", I chuckled at her behavior.

And that is what I like about her. She acts both childish and mature. What even baffles me is the fact that she can go from cold to warm, in a matter of seconds.

I turned on the ignition and drove to Gina's Bistro - our favorite hanging spot.

It's one of the few places where Lexy talks about her day and how she's feeling. One other reason why we come here, is for their apple pie. Hehehe
