"Cyberbullying is no laughing matter. Sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their face." Councilor Blatt continued on the next morning for the assembly. Alexa was not feeling it today, having a bad morning and was slumped against Demetri. "I'm not gonna name names, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity."
Alexa shut her eyes in disbelief, reaching over to put a hand on Eli's shoulder when a few chatters ran through the cafeteria, his hand coming up to shield his face.
"You know, if you're sick of getting bullied, my karate dojos looking for recruits." Migeul looked toward Eli as he gave a small smile.
"Yeah, right. You hear that, Eli? A little karate training and you're gonna kick some major ass." Demetri mocked, waving his hands around and accidentally knocking Alexa's glasses off. "Oh, shoot. Sorry, Lex."
"I'm serious, Demetri." Miguel spoke up as he adjusted in his seat to look toward the couple. "My senseis the real deal. I'm sure I could get all three of you discounts."
"It's a girls dojo too?" Alexa asked, half her head still pressed against Demetris arm as her glasses were slightly crooked.
"Well, yeah, i'm sure." Miguel nodded her way.
"As enticing as that sounds, I think we'd rather spend our afternoons playing Crucible Control then getting hit in the face." Demetri pointed out, motioning between him and Eli before rubbing the side of Alexas head.
"Oh, and one last thing. While we're all looking forward to the Halloween dance, let's make sure our costumes are culturally sensitive." the councilor went on, getting the trios attention again. "For example, instead of sexy nurse, maybe try gender-neutral hospital employee."
Alexa looked to the right, seeing Mr.Bryant walk through the cafeteria with his brief case, leaving a meeting. Alexa tucked away slightly. Demetri noticed, tapping the side of her face. "What's going on with you?"
Her eyes shifted upwards, an innocent look swarming them. "Late night."
"Watching reruns of Hell's kitchen again?" he gave a questionable look.
"Yeah." Alexa gave a sigh, looking in the direction again. "Wanna walk me to class?"
The bell had rung, and Alexa latched onto Demetris hand after wishing Eli and Miguel bye. "Are we gonna go to the dance?"
"My moms think we should." he said, moving as someone slammed into his shoulder. "You better get some sleep before, though."
Alexa gave a tiny smile, stopping infront of math class as she looked weary inside. "I wish we had all our classes together."
Demetri wasn't sure where all this clingy side of her came from, but he didn't think to question it. "I can meet you here right after if you want to walk together again?"
Alexa smiled, nodding her head as she let his hand go and disappeared into the classroom.
"I like your costume, Alexa." a voice rung, making Alexa turn back to look at Mr.Bryant. He had clearly been chaperoning the school dance and was waiting by the door. "The Progressive lady, right?"
Alexa forced a smile. "Flo."
"Yeah, I love it." he said, Alexa gave a little smile before hurrying through the crowd. She found her trio of boys near the punch. "When can we go home?"
"Not having fun?" Migeul asked as Alexa pushed to be by Demetri, shaking her head. "Well, you're right on time."
"On time for what?" Alexa asked.
"Eli and I were gonna go ask the Dragon Queens to dance." Miguel nodded toward a pair of girls.
"Slow your roll, you have time." Demetri waved him off.
Alexa watched them grab onto their own dance partner. "Apparently not."
"No, shit!" Miguel huffed in disbelief. "We just lost one to Doctor Who."
"That will do it." Alexa hummed, looking around. "Why do you want to ask people you don't know to dance?"
"Well, how else would we get to know them if we don't say something?" Miguel looked at her in questioning. "How'd you two get together?"
"We got trapped in a classroom together during a lockdown." Alexa nodded her head, making Miguel look at her like she was insane.
"It was just a practice, but, still." Demetri hummed, wrapping an arm around Alexa.
"I have to go to the bathroom." Eli spoke up as he looked over.
"Yeah, me too." Demetri agreed, setting his cup down. "That punch is going right through me."
"Are you coming with us?" Miguel looked to Alexa in questioning.
She gave him a crazy look. "I'll make sure no one roofies these drinks."
"Brb, Lex. That means be right back." Demetri gave her a point of his finger, the trio hurrying away. Alexa sighed, standing alone.
Though, not for long.
"I didn't know Bug Eyes owned anything other then huge sweaters." Yasmine mocked, coming from behind Alexa as she eyed her slightly. "And a red lip? I don't think i've ever seen a touch of makeup on your face."
Alexa picked up Demetris cup, walking away as the blonde laughed. "Gonna go cry to your daddy? Oh, wait..."
Alexa pushed into the empty hallway, wanting to stay there for the time being. She pulled out her phone, sending a quick text to Ty.
To Ty: Are you anywhere close to the school?
From Ty: I'm about to take my break. Need me to come get you?
To Ty: Please.
From Ty: Fine.
"Where have you been? I was terrified someone picked you up and and was trying to sale you." Demetri looked in disbelief as Alexa walked into the library. "Hello?"
"I don't wanna talk about it." Alexa dropped her bag on the table, falling into her chair as her head fell onto Demetris shoulder. He rubbed the side of her face for her. Alexa looked to Miguel. "What happened to you?"
"Kyler kicked the crap out of him." Demetri answered before Miguel had the chance to. "Right after you ran out on us."
"I wanted to go home." Alexa said back, sitting up and pulling her notes from backpack.
"Its probably for the best." Demetri went on in hopes of making Miguel feel better after his mom made him quite karate. "It was starting to boost your confidence."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Miguel looked over oddly.
"No." Demetri said back quickly. "What has confidence ever gotten anybody except for a black eye and their backpack thrown in the trash?"
Eli's eyes flickered toward Alexas graded papers. "Oh no."
Alexa agreed. "Oh no is right."
"What? Where has my genius girlfriend gone?" Demetri looked in disbelief as he held the failed test Alexa received. "An F in Algebra II? You love numbers though."
Alexa gave a little shrug, snatching it back. "I just can't stay focused."
"Maybe see if you can get moved to the front of the class?" Demetri suggested to her.
"I thought it was kinda cool how you stood up to Kyler." Eli looked to Miguel with gentle eyes.
"Are you insane?" Demetri called at him, Alexa sighed, shaking her head as she cleaned the rim of her glasses. "Let me ask you. What is the best superpower anyone could have?"
"Time travel." Alexa mumbled.
"Super strength." Miguel said confidently.
"Wrong." Demetri gave a point of his pencil. "Invisibility."
"But, wouldn't it look weird if I was talking to the air?" Alexa gave a confused look his way. "Even if I told people my boyfriend was invisible, they'd think I was crazy."
"You are a little crazy, but, that's why I like you." he pointed a pencil her way with a shrug. "Besides, it would be the type of invisible that you can projector onto other people."
Alexa gave a grin as he went on a second later. "A distant second would be super speed to run away fast."
"Run away from who?" Kyler leaned down besides Eli after placing his hand on his back.
"Whom." Brucks corrected from behind him. "It's the object of a preposition. Remember English class."
Demetri nodded for Alexa to hurry and pack up. Miguel did so as well. "We were just leaving."
Alexa circled the table, bumping into the side with a minor wince.
"Hey, where you going?" Kyler latched onto Eli, leaning down to be on his level. "Oh, look at this freak. Oh shit! What kind of girl would ever kiss this shit?"
Alexa looked hopefully toward Migeul as he rolled his eyes. "Leave him alone, Kyler."
Kyler smacked Eli to the side, making him stand behind Demetri and Alexa. Kyler walked closer toward Miguel. "What'd you say? You haven't had enough, Rhea?"
Brucks shoved his shoulder rather hard. Kyler reached over, grabbing Alexas glasses. She tried to take them back, but he held them up. "Oh, shit. Are you really blind under there?"
"Damn, are her eyes really not that big?" Brucks laughed in disbelief, taking Alexas glasses and putting them on his face. "Do I look like Bug Eyes now?"
Kyler grabbed Alexas cheeks tightly, scanning her face. "Look, you're half way cute behind those things. Not really."
"Can I please have my glasses back?" she asked, her vision blurry. Demetri slipped his hand into hers.
"You want em back?" Kyler asked, taking them from Brucks. "Oh, sure. Sure, my bad, sweetie."
He cracked them in half, handing the two rims to her. Alexa frowned, holding them in her palms. Demetri put his hand on her back to pull her toward the door with Miguel and Eli.
Kyler caught him. "Hey, you don't want this shit."
"No, come on. Not the trash." Demetri begged, Alexa stopped to wait for him behind the book shelf. "I just threw a-"
He was cut off by Kyler dropping the bag in the trash. "-Yogurt in there."
"Now it's double dip." Kyler mocked as Brucks continued to laugh. Demetri pulled his bag from the trash, walking with Alexa again.
"I have an extra one at home." she said, letting him take her shoulders to lead her through the clouded vision hallways.
