Chapter 22
After about thirty minutes of fooling around in the beach we were all set to leave.
We walked over towards the car. Blake and Zoey walked hand in hand while Justin and Alex walked together talking and laughing about random stuffs.
After that session with Alex we didn’t say anything to each other since then and the atmosphere around us was a bit tense.
The sun burned down my feet as we walked to the car.
“I’ll drive”Blake said and no one Protested.
Blake unlocked the car and got into the driver’s seat with Zoey who sat at the passengers seat.
I sat at the back with Alex and Justin who was busy listening to music on his earphone.
The drive back home was quiet as no one really spoke except for Zoey and Blake who spoke random words and laughed at weird things.
Seems like Zoey finally found her soulmate.
I stared out the window purposely because i didn’t even wanna go into a conversation with Alex.
I felt movement beside me and then turned to see that Alex and Justin had switched seats with Alex now sitting beside me.
“Hey”He smiled and i ignored him and took out my phone with my earphones on, pretending that i was listening to music.
He sighed but kept staring at me making me feel really uncomfortable.
After about thirty minutes we got home and the guys went back with their cars. Blake offered to drop Zoey off and i had a feeling they were gonna be doing more than dropping off.
I went into the house hurriedly with Alex trailing behind me. I ran up the stairs and just as i was about going into my room, i was pulled back to the wall.
“Hey!”I protested as i saw Alex standing before me, his hot breath fanning my face as we were just few inches away from each other.
He was so close to me that the only thing separating us was the thin fabric of our clothes.
“What?”I asked.
“You’ve been ignoring me since, what’s wrong?”He asked.
“Let go of me Alex I don’t have your time right now”I said.
“Why’s that? what’s wrong?”He asked as his hand found it’s way around my waist.
“What do you mean by what’s wrong, let go of me!”I yelled.
“Why are you ignoring me Liv?”He asked.
“Because i don’t like your face”I said.
“Really? or is there something more?”He said, tickling my bare skin.
“Let go of me skunk!”I jerked him off me and ran into my room immediately.
“I’ll get you Liv”He groaned but i didn’t bother to answer. I tossed my backpack on the bed and went into the closet to undress.
After undressing i went into the bathroom to shower and then put on my pajamas before retiring to bed.
Sunday flew by fast and before we knew it, it was Monday morning and i was having Chem test.
I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower. I put on a blue top with grey trousers. I packed my hair in a neatly tied ponytail and grabbed my backpack heading downstairs.
I and Alex hadn’t spoken much since Saturday and i didn’t see much of him at home.
I grabbed a left over sandwich from the fridge which i heated in the food warmer and ate before leaving for school.
I arrived at school earlier than usual. It was 6:45 am and the school was pretty much empty making me realize i had woken up rather too early.
I sat down in the classroom revising my chemistry notebook and soon after students came trolling into the classroom.
We settled down for our test and afterwards i went to the cafeteria with my friends as we talked over our food.

“Are you coming for Blake’s party tonight?”Zoey asked.
“Blake’s hosting a party?”I asked.
“Yeah and he has invited everyone”She said.
“Well he didn’t invite me”I shrugged.
“He didn’t personally invite you but he said everyone is welcome”She said.
“I’m not going, i don’t go to parties i wasn’t invited to and besides we both know I’m not a party person”I said.
“Come on babe, why does it matter if he personally invited you or not, come on the party will be fun”She said.
“Nah I’m good, I’ll stay home, besides I’m having Calc test tomorrow so i have to study”I said.
“Come on Liv, we both know you’ll pass the test whether you study or not”She said.
“And what makes you think that?”I questioned.
“Because you’re Liv and Liv doesn’t fail any test”She said.
“Liv doesn’t fail because she studies”I mimicked.
“Come on babe, you know you have all the time to study after the party, besides it’s an objective test, you’ll do well, we both know that”She said.
“I really don’t feel like going to any party, I’m not going”I said.
“Babe!”She protested.
“Don’t babe me, now let’s change topic”I said and she eyed me wearily.
“Fine then”She shrugged.
“About the beach on saturday, what’s up with you and Blake?”I asked.
“I don’t quite understand you”She pretended not to know what I was on about.
“Don’t pretend Zoe, i saw you both making out”I said.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Well…… i can say the same for you and Alex, I saw you guys in the water”She winked.
“Zoe…. don’t…. don’t try to avoid my question, tell me what’s on with you and Blake”I said.
“Nothing……”
“Don’t lie to me”I warned.
“Fine! we were just making out casually, like i told you before, he’s quite hot so we were just hanging around”She said.
“Well that doesn’t seem like hanging around to me, he drove you home for fucks sake”I said.
“And what’s the big deal if a guy drops a girl home?” I rolled my eyes at her.
“Everything! we both know your parents are never home on saturdays and he drove you home, I know there’s more to it”I said.
“Nope, he only dropped me off and then went home”She said.
“Fine then, lie all you want”I scoffed.
“Ok fine, he dropped me off and we sort of kissed and he asked me out on a date”She blushed.
“I knew it! But babe you know Alex’s friends are much of a player as he is”I said.
“I know, I’m just hanging out with Blake, it’s just a casual thing”She said.
“If you say so then”I sighed.
“So tell me, what were you and Alex up to”She asked, winking at me and i scrunched my face staring at her.
“Nothing, he was just pestering me as always”I said.
“Didn’t seem so to me”She smirked and i furrowed my eyebrows.
