Chapter 2

After the summer ended, the school year started up! Lexi was so excited to go back but also bit nervous. Some things never change. Of course, they met up in their corner before classes. This, of course was an ordinary thing to the rest of them, but Lexi almost cried because she missed this so much and was so happy. She was back home again and that felt amazing. They started discussing their schedule. “Okay, so first we have Mrs. Roberts for history,” Breanna informed them. Lexi sighed.

“She still teaches here?” she asked, sounding exasperated. Breanna nodded. 

“Yes, she’s still just as bad. After that, we have physics with Mrs. Zeller,” she told them.

“She’s new,” Lexi said. Bridgett nodded.

“She’s new to us, too. Her and her son and daughter just moved here this summer,” she explained. Lexi bobbed her head and Thaddeus rolled his eyes.

“I’ve met her son already. He’s one year older than me and he’s some sort of pretty boy,” Thaddeus scoffed, sounding annoyed at the very thought. Kaylee checked her watch.

“Oh, we should go.” They all stood up and walked towards the door leading to the hallway. But as they walked down the hallway to their class, they saw that new boy and his little sister who looked about nine or ten. From what Lexi could tell, Thaddeus was right about one thing. That new boy was extremely good-looking. He had bronze colored hair, deep blue eyes, a dazzling smile, tan skin and a muscular build. At the moment, he was comforting his sister, who was crying and they heard a few words of what they were saying.

“It’s okay, Lizzie. You won’t be alone and you’re going to ace these classes, I know it,” the boy whispered to the girl comfortingly.

“But Adam, what if I don’t make any friends?” Lizzie sobbed. The boy, Adam looked at his sister.

“Of course, you will! They’ll love you! You’ll make friends before you know it!”

Lexi smiled at this boy's kindness, especially since that was exactly what she was afraid of when she had first arrived. 

Adam held his sister’s hand as he stood up. When he did, he bumped into Lexi. “Oh, I’m sorry!” he exclaimed. Lexi blushed.

“That’s alright! What’s your name?” Lexi asked as she tucked her bangs behind ears.

“Adam. What’s yours?”

“Alexa. But everyone calls me Lexi,” Lexi told him, giggling a very flustered giggle. Adam smiled that sparkling smile of his.

“Well, Lexi, it’s nice to meet you,” he said, sounding friendly. Lexi blushed again.

“It’s nice to meet you, too,” Lexi almost swooned as they started walking towards their classroom. Adam smiled yet again.

“Here, allow me,” he said as he opened the door and held it for everyone. Once Adam was out of earshot, Lexi let out that swoon she had been holding back.

“Wow, he’s a dreamboat!” Lexi exclaimed softly as Thaddeus frowned. Unfortunately, Lexi had noticed. “Thaddeus, are you alright?” she asked. Thaddeus nodded fervently to shake the feeling away.

“Yes, I’m okay.” Thaddeus said as he sat down. He wasn't. He could sense that this boy could cause trouble for him.

A week later, Lexi was still crushing hard on this new boy. Adam was kind, a gentleman, a really great big brother, and he was FINE. Lexi loved watching him in gym class. Especially when he lifted his arms and let his muscles show! At lunch that day, Lexi decided to go ask him for his phone number. She got up and headed to his table where about a thousand girls were sitting and Adam looked very uncomfortable about it, but relieved when he saw Lexi. “Hey!” he exclaimed and stood up. Lexi giggled and motioned for him to follow her to the hallway.

“I had a question for you,” she told him when they got there. He chuckled.

“Actually, I had a question for you, too,” Adam said.

“You go first,” Lexi told him. Adam chuckled again.

“Okay. I was wondering if you would accompany me to homecoming?”

Breanna and Gabrielle came rushing to where Thaddeus was sitting with his family at lunch.

“Thaddeus, you gotta ask that girl, quick!” Breanna told him. Thaddeus shook his head.

“No, I can’t. She clearly has a crush on Adam,” he replied numbly. Gabrielle nodded.

“Yes, but you can still ask her! If she doesn’t want to go with you, she’ll say no!” She said. Breanna handed him a bouquet she had bought that morning. Lexi’s favorites, of course.

“Go to her!” she commanded as she shoved him toward the hallway. Thaddeus hastily walked there, trying to shove his nerves down, when he saw something. Lexi with Adam. The two were hugging and Lexi was saying,

“Yes! Yes, I will!” She sounded so excited and happy, and like she was going on her first date soon. Thaddeus felt like his stomach dropped into his toes as a most pained expression filled his eyes. Breanna stared from the gym, her and Gabrielle exchanging sad glances.

“Oh, no,” Breanna muttered as Gabrielle sighed. Thaddeus stalked back into the gym so one would see him staring at this seemingly perfect couple while he held flowers and looked dejected. Breanna and Gabrielle came up to him and met his depressed gaze with sympathetic ones.

"Are you okay?" Gabrielle intoned so no one else would hear them.

“Nope.” He sighed, his eyes downcast. Just then, Lexi came running back into the gym to her friends and Thaddeus hastily hid the bunch of flowers behind his back.

“You guys! Adam Zeller just asked me to homecoming!” she squealed. Then she noticed Thaddeus's long face. “Are you okay, Thaddeus?” she asked, sounding concerned. Thaddeus nodded and forced a smile.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Thaddeus told her. Then, when no one was watching him, he walked slowly to the trash can. Choking back tears, he lifted the lid and tossed the flowers in.
