Guilty Pleasure - Chapter 2
Yo! So, I had an english test today... and we had to write a story. Awesome or what?! :D Also, I'd just like to say I absolutely hate my Geo teacher. She's an unfair piece of shit. Anyway, enjoy and stuff :)
Dedicating this chappie to Brittany Buhagiar! Thanks for making me feel better :D

Alex opened her eyes from a short nap. She woke up to the sound of her mobile phone ringing.
“Hello?”
“Hey, it’s Hayley.”
“Oh, what’s up?”
“Do you want to go to the movies with me and David?”
“Sorry Hayles, my mum grounded me; I can’t go anywhere this weekend.”
“What did you do this time?”
“I was apparently being impolite while eating breakfast and I got grounded.”
“Oh, sucks to be you. Anyway, we’ll just go another weekend then. See you.”
Hayley then hung up. Alex lied back on her bed and stared at her ceiling. ‘What to do, what to do?’ she thought to herself. ‘Don’t want to do homework, can’t go on the computer…’ After several minutes of thinking, she decided to clean her room.
She went over to her desk and took all the pieces of paper, and organized it into a neat pile. She took her laptop and threw it onto the bed. Her desk was trashed with CD’s and random candy wrappers. After she had finished cleaning her desk up, she moved onto her closet.
Alex pulled out pairs of shoes, and dirty clothes. Had the day finally came that, Alex Greene was doing something else other than being bad? She shook the thought out of her head and closed her closet door. She then walked outside and knocked on Jeremy’s door.
“Mum?”
“No idiot,” Alex replied.
“Alex? What do you want!” he muffled through the door.
“Do you know who this Noah kid is? He’s in my geography class.”
“Noah? Oh, he must be the new kid.”
“Define new.”
“New as in like, a couple of months ago?”
“A couple of months ago?” she repeated. “How come I’ve never seen him until now?”
“I think he’s kind of a loner.”
“Oh… I see.”
“Yeah-now will you please leave me alone?! I’m trying to finish off my assignment!”
“You and Hayley would be perfect for each other,” Alex said under her breath as she walked downstairs.
The doorbell had rung. “I’ll get it!” Alex yelled. She opened the door and saw a lovely young lady.
“Lilly!” Alex yelled giving her a quick hug. “It’s so nice to see you. What brings you here to the Greene residence?”
“I’m here for Jeremy.”
“Did you just say ‘Jeremy’?!” Alex exclaimed. “What happened to ‘Jer Bear’?”
Lilly laughed nervously. “Can I just come in?”
“Sure-Jer Bear’s upstairs doing his assignment,” Alex mocked.
Lilly walked up the stairs and entered his room. Alex walked off into the kitchen and got a cup of chocolate milk. She let out a sigh of goodness after she gulped down her milk. There was then yelling and banging from Jeremy’s room. Alex immediately ran upstairs and went into her room. She opened her room just a little bit so she could see what happened. Lilly then came out of the room, her hands looking as if they were blocking something.
“How could you cheat on me?” Jeremy shouted aggressively.
“I-I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other anymore!”
“Just get out, Lilly! Get out of my god damn house!”
“I’m sorry, Jer Bear!”
‘Oh, so there’s the Jer Bear’ Alex thought to herself and continued watching the break up.
Lilly ran down the stairs, still apologizing. Jeremy just ignored her and kept yelling at her. She finally did the smart thing, and left the house. Jeremy slammed his door and Alex could hear him sob. She went outside and knocked on his door.
“Go away! Now’s not the time!” Jeremy shouted, still sobbing.
“Let me come in!” The door then unlocked. Alex leaned against the door frame, and crossed her arms across her chest.
“What did she do to you?”
“She cheated on me!” he shouted back.
“With who?”
“With some guy outside of school!”
“For how long?”
“Two damn months!”
Alex went over and patted his back. “Don’t worry, same thing happened to me with Nick.” She assured. Jeremy stopped crying and looked up at his younger sister. “Yeah-I guess you’re right. If it was meant to be, it’s meant to be.” Alex then went out of his neat, organized room, and went back into hers.
She laid on her bed and stared at her ceiling again, just thinking. Her eyes began to close, and she drifted off to sleep.
She woke up to that piece of light, shining in her eyes again. “God, I seriously need new curtains,” she told herself. She walked over to her, now neat table, and checked the time. The short hand pointed directly at the 6. “Well, at least it wasn’t as bad as yesterday,” she assured herself.
Alex packed her bag and put on her school uniform. She slipped on the thin shirt and put on her skirt. After, she put on a pair of completely black pair of Converse’s and went downstairs.
“Alex? Wow, you’re up early,” her mother said.
“Yeah, I slept at like, 7 or something.”
“Why so early?”
“I think I’ve just been tired lately. So, what’s for breakfast?”
“Today we are having scrambled eggs with toast.”
“What, that’s it? No bacon?”
“Well, I would’ve made bacon, but a certain someone decided to be impolite.”
Alex sighed and sat on the table, waiting for her eggs.
Her mother put a plate of scrambled eggs and two pieces of wheat toast in front of her. She immediately started munching on it. Her mother let out a sigh and continued cooking. Alex was done in two minutes and went upstairs.
She then entered Jeremy’s room and saw her brother, peacefully sleeping. “Jeremy, wake up.” He groaned and pushed her hand away. “Wake up!” she yelled. “I’m not going to school today,” he replied. “Fine… I guess I’ll let you stay home. But only for today!” She then slammed the door and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Alex got off the empty bus and walked into her school. She saw a young boy sitting by himself on a silver seat. Alex swore she’d seen him before. ‘Uh… N… N… NOAH!’ she thought.
“Noah!” she yelled out.
“A-Alex?” he replied. Alex ran over and hugged him. A shade of red came over his face.
“Thank god you’re here! My life’s been boring lately. I need someone new to talk to.”
“Oh, I see. So, how are you Alex?”
She sighed. “My brother broke up with his girlfriend yesterday.”
“Aw, why did they break up?”
“The bitch cheated on him.”
They talked to each other till the bell rang. “Well, got to go to roll call now. See you in Geo!” Alex shouted.
Noah waved goodbye to her. He’d definitely changed his mind about her.
It was time for geography. Hayley didn’t go to school today - god knows why. Alex sat by herself at a table at the back. Noah then entered the room and sat next to Alex. “Hey,” he said cheerfully. Alex turned around to look at him and smiled, playing with her pencil. “Class, please get your books out and turn to a new page. Today we’re going to learn about…” Alex groaned and tuned out once again.
She and Noah whispered to each other every time the teacher was facing the board. There were giggles and punching. “Ah, you’re pretty cool, Noah. How you didn’t have any friends, I’ll never know.” Alex whispered. He chuckled. “Is that an insult or a compliment?” he replied. “NOAH, ALEX! GET OUT!” the teacher shouted. They both groaned and exited the room.
“Do you think they’re going out?” a girl whispered to her friend. “Yeah-they probably are! I saw them this morning; they were talking so much and laughing with each other. Ew, what a weird couple.” Her friend replied.
At lunch, Noah and Alex sat next to each other, just munching on their sandwiches and talking. A girl walked up to them and giggled. “Are you guys going out?” she asked, still giggling. They both looked at each other, their eyes wide. They shook their heads and continued eating. The girl then ran to her group of friends and whispered something, her finger pointing to them every now and then. Alex growled and whispered something to Noah.
“Let’s prank them,” Alex chuckled.
“Prank them? How?” Alex whispered a mischievous plan in his ear while Noah nodded along, grinning.
“Okay you got it?”
“I got it.” He winked.
“HOW COULD YOU? AND WHAT’S WORSE IS THAT YOU LIED TO ME!” Alex yelled.
“I’m sorry, Alex! I didn’t mean to!” Alex then ran off, crying. Noah chased after her.
The group of girls stared at the wall Alex and Noah ran behind to. “What just happened?” a girl asked. “I think they just broke up,” another girl replied.
Alex and Noah laughed like crazy. “That was freaking awesome!” Noah chuckled. “Okay, let’s go somewhere so they don’t find us.” Alex instructed. Noah nodded and followed her into an empty corridor.
