Siena's 2nd ch.

Chapter 2
The classes went by in a blur, I hardly even noticed since I was so ecstatic that I finally took on the initiative to take on Belle. She’s been walking around like she’s so important and doesn’t care who she tramples with her big fat self centeredness that finally, FINALLY someone is going to take her down a notch and show her that the real world isn’t so pretty. Finally, I’m walking out of the school going to start my walk home. Sigh, if only today weren’t so hot.
“Hey, Siena. Come here for a sec.” Belle is calling me over. Can’t she just see that I don’t give a shit about her and her problems anymore?
“What do you want?” I am not budging, I am not giving in to her royal drama highness. If Belle wants to talk to me, she better get her lazy ass over here.
“Come here first, and then I’ll talk to you!” She’s sounding really desperate, but that would’ve only worked had I not declared all out war on her. I don’t think she even realizes that I did, that’s big ol’ oblivious Belle for you.
“If you want to talk about something, then why don’t you come OVER here?”
“No, I’m extremely serious! I really need to talk to you in somewhere private…”
I decided to go over to the empty space behind the 200 buildings and walked over to Belle.
“This BETTER be important, or else I’m leaving.”
“Ok, so you know how Lex broke up with his girlfriend? Well turns out, I think he’s going to ask me out tomorrow, because today we switched seats and he sat right next to me, and we kept making eye contact. I can’t wait! What should I wear tomorrow?” Belle kept going on and on about how she wanted to look absolutely perfect, but if you can’t tell right now, I really don’t give a shit. “—ok, so do you think I should wear the all black outfit or should I go with the red checkered blouse with a black tank top underneath plus my skinny jeans?”
“Belle…I told you only if this was important. These ‘issues’ of yours, I really don’t give a shit about ok?!” God, can’t she tell that I honestly don’t care?
“Shut up! I know you’re just jealous because you have a secret crush on Lex, just admit it!” What the hell is wrong with this girl?! Just because I don’t want to listen about her ‘newly starting love life’ with Lex doesn’t mean I like him! I barely even know him for crying out loud!
“You know what – screw this!” I walked away, knowing that Belle will be telling everyone the next day saying ‘Siena likes Lex and now she won’t be my friend anymore even though I forgave her!’ Psh, screw this shit. I don’t need Belle, Allie, or anyone else’s acceptance. I don’t care if I’m hated at school or anything. As long as I know what I’m doing isn’t wrong, then screw everyone else’s opinions.
The next morning, I get so rudely awakened by my phone buzzing its head off while playing Knock You Down by Keri Hilson. Isn’t that a great way to start the day, for a second time?! I reached over grabbed the phone and said “…hello?” Gosh, did I sound weird.
“Oh mah gawd, Siena, you like Lex?!” Lily’s voice on the phone sounds extremely excited. I haven’t liked anyone (and told someone) since 6th grade, but I’ve had crushes here and there. I’ve never really bothered to tell anyone, and I do NOT like Lex.
“NO. Belle told you that didn’t she…” I wonder how many people she’s told already. Sigh, Belle can be such a blabbermouth, even when the issues are extremely private.
“Um… actually you’re not going to like this…”
“Oh, God. Can my life get any worse?”
“Well…Belle kind of sent out a text to everyone, put it on her facebook, myspace, and status message…” I
I checked my phone, facebook, and her gmail status, and whoop-di-doo…
“…OH MY FUCKING GOD. I’M GOING TO MURDER HER.” THE NERVE!! How could she do something like that?! Oh wait, this is Belle we’re talking about, I should’ve expected something like this. Great.
“Yeah, sorry…”
“I’ll see you at school.”
I am going to kill her, literally.
“Belle, get your fucking ass over here.” I am seriously trying to hide my anger, but its not working, not one single bit.
“God Siena, we need to work on that language!” Belle sounds mischievously happy, just what I need to start my fuse.
“Take that status and messages off your facebook, myspace, and whatever shit you have.” “Aww, are you mad that I told everyone the truth?” Belle has this weird smirk on her face that says if I don’t get what I want, this is what will happen. “This is what happens when you mess with me Siena, I can and will ruin your tragically stupid life.”
That was the final pull. I grabbed Belle’s cell phone, threw it to the ground, and smashed it with my foot.
“HEY! That was brand new! What the fuck is your problem—”
I jammed my fist into her face as she went to grab her phone and said, “And this is what happens when you mess with Siena.”
“Ow, you fucking bitch!—”
I walked off before I could hear the rest of the horrible cuss words she was throwing out. Everyone was staring at her. Now I’m not the only one who knows Belle’s got a filthy, dirty potty mouth. And here’s the score board, Siena, 1, Belle, zippo.
Then the thought hit me.
First period, I see Lex.
God, this is going to be awkward.
The bell for passing period rang and I did not want to move. As I slowly edged toward class, I felt so embarrassed… what am I supposed to say? Do I look him in the eye? Do I ignore him? Do I act clueless? Argg! This is way too mind-boggling!
As I walked into my math class, I hid my face in shame. This is so embarrassing! I heard snickers coming from some girls who were friends of Belle. They can just go die in a shit hole. Oh God, Lex is walking in… and he’s staring at me! I whipped my face around and I turned bright red. I wish I was dead right now.
“Hey, Siena.” It was a guy’s voice. Oh God, please let it not be him.
I turned my head to see Lex sitting right next to me. I turned to look at the board and turns out… today is free seating. Wonderful.
“…H-hi” I stuttered, I am so nervous! He’s sitting right next to me… Usually, I wouldn’t be fazed by a guy sitting next to me, but this one thinks I like him! I can’t just shoot him down and say it was a misunderstanding and I don’t like him…I think…
“Hey Lex, hanging with your girlfriend already? You’re quick to make a move!” His friends we’re laughing, but not in a bad way.
Lex’s face turned a little red and he looked away, yelling at his friends to shut up. At least he’s just as embarrassed as I was, and it made me a little happy inside.
Math went by in a blur, I don’t even remember much from it, except for the fact that Lex was right next to me, kind of close-ish, and that he might actually like me. I don’t know if I like him or not…grr… this ‘love’ stuff is way too confusing… I don’t know! Do I like him or not? This was what was in my mind throughout the rest of periods 1-4. Who knew Belle’s rash decision could lead to something so… good?
Lunch came around and I was feeling fantastic! I’ve never felt better. I keep getting this jittery feeling, like I don’t want to see Lex but I do…and I keep getting this feeling, like my heart beats faster. Every time in math when I was with him, it was like everyone else disappeared…it was like it was just me and him…could I really be in love?
“…Earth to Siena! Is anyone in there?” Lily’s voice sucked me out of my thoughts.
“Huh, wha?” I can’t believe I was spacing out so much!
“As I was saying, how’d it go with Belle? Did you have an awkward first period with Lex?” “Oh…about that…” A smile began on my face. Just hearing his name just makes me delighted.
“Siena…do you actually have a crush on Lex?”
“…hehe…maybe~” I could not have sound any more drunk off of something. Lily was giving me funny looks.
“Oh mah gawd…Siena actually likes someone! You have to tell me all about it! Don’t spare a single detail!” Lily was clapping her hands in excitement and content, knowing that for the first time in, I don’t know, 3 years (that she knows of) I have a crush.
I told her the details of first period and she listened through it all.
“Aww, I think he likes you back! Are you guys going to, you know, go on a date or something?”
“Hey! We’re not that far yet, I don’t even know for sure if I like him or he likes me!”
The bell for 5th period rang and I began to hastily pack my bag. After 5th period, I was going to see Lex again. This day just could not get any better. And I was partially right. It got better, and then plummeted…horribly.
6th period came around, and I sat in my seat. Too bad I didn’t get to sit near Lex. Every once in a while, we exchanged looks and he smiled at me. I felt my heart was going to explode. It felt so dreamy, having a maybe crush. I felt like my heart was about to burst with happiness. Is this what it feels like to…like someone? That feeling where you can’t stop smiling, like in anime shows or mangas where the people just don’t stop giving off a flowery vibe.
Soon after, school was over, just like that. I became so sad, realizing today was Friday. I won’t get to see Lex again for another two days! TWO WHOLE DAYS! Without Lex! I don’t think that’s even possible for me! I want to see him everyday! I’ve never felt like this before. I was the last to leave the room, since I’m always so slow at packing my things. I keep forgetting when the bell rings and end up packing my stuff right when it does. I left the room, without tripping! I am so clumsy at these things, and not to mention the classroom is cluttered with tables and chairs. These rooms are way to small!
As I walked towards the door, I noticed a figure standing out there. I assumed it was Lily, attempting to scare me, but was I wrong. I walked out the door to see Lex standing there, waiting for me. Had he been waiting for the five minutes that I took to pack? I was so embarrassed, there were butterflies in my stomach, moving as if they were high off of something.
“Hey.” Lex’s voice was so…guy-ish. I never really noticed him much before.
“Hey Lex…” I felt so flustered…what am I supposed to say?
“Uh…—”
“Umm…—” We both cut each other off. “Ah, sorry, you can go ahead Lex.”
"I was kind of wondering, if you wanted to… umm, hang out this weekend? Maybe go out somewhere…" Lex trailed off, looking shy. It made him look cute. I was so relieved he asked me, then I wouldn't have to ask him…
“Oh, uh… sure.”
"Here, why don’t you um… give me a call" He said as he wrote down his number on a piece of paper nervously and handed it to me.
“Ok.”
We both walked towards the front of the school, but parted ways right before the large crowd. Don’t want people making a big deal about us, not to mention, Belle waits to get picked up over in the front. I found an empty little area near the front and just sank on my feet. I actually had a date with a guy I liked. For the first time, I didn’t really care about Belle or anyone else, I just felt…content with my life. No matter how annoying Belle can get, nothing can get me out of this mood. I was totally wrong about that.
