Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Alex’s POV
I knew from that moment when I woke up that something about today was going to be different, quickly I showered and dressed before running out to catch a lift from Rian, on the way to school I couldn't help but wonder what was making me think that today would be any different from the rest. Walking into the school I instantly captured most of the females attention, loads of the girls turning to stare, in my mind I instantly started picking out the girls I had slept with that summer. It may make me sound like a douche but when its handed to a guy what am I meant to do? Decline? No that would be the rude thing to do. While we are standing at the lockers my attention drifts off quickly to a female I've never noticed before walking up the corridor. Straight away I notice her Green Day shirt, converse and red skinny jeans and her wavy red hair, sticking out so much from the other girls in short skirts, revealing tops and bleach blonde hair. I can tell just from the way she walks that she’s different. I open my locker and quickly deposit my book bag and other shit into it, before closing it and coming face to face with another clone of the school. I stare at her for a few minutes while trying to remember her name. It’s some white trash name that every slut seems to have…Brittany? No, Heather? No defiantly wasn't that. Kylie? No…I let my eyes wander down to her boobs before I remember.
“Kendra!” I exclaim smiling.
“You said you would call me Alex.” She mutters in her winy voice that could break glass.
“Ermm things came up, been really busy with shit and that.” I reply as she looks at me with a quizzical glare.
“Well…okay then…listen you wan't do something tonight? My parents are out of town so I got the place to myself.” She asks in a seductive way while trying to push her breasts up towards me more. I think about it quickly, do I really wan't to go back there, I mean after last time I spent ages trying to get her stupid fake tan off of my skin, also she wouldn't fucking shut up either.
“Errm can’t do tonight, grandparents visiting, ermm maybe another time?” I say while trying to slip away noticing the bell had gone a few minutes ago.
“Okay then, text me about this weekend then Lexi, but until then…” suddenly she attacks my mouth with hers, her saliva tasting like cigarette smoke…how unattractive. Thankfully she pulls away, before giving me a quick wink and walking off in the other direction. I curse myself for hooking up with her at that party, wasn’t my best conquest I must admit.
I arrive at my home room a few minutes later, to the sounds of moaning from my teacher telling me how this year I should act differently and actually listen and maybe turn up on time. I shrug off the teachers voice and get to the back to sit next to Rian. As our teacher is speaking, Rian leans across to talk to me.
“Dude do you know why the school receptionist dragged Jack away with her?” he asks.
“She dragged Jack away when?” I ask confused by what’s going on.
“Dude do you ever noticing things that aren't to do with your dick or someone to fuck?” he asks before sitting back and doodling on his book. I think of when this could have happened…probably when Kendra started talking to me. I shudder at the memory of her kissing, wishing to erase from my mind forever but then I remember what happened before then, that girl, I have to find out who she is and why I've never seen her before.

“ALEX!” screams my skunk haired best friend as he comes running up to me. I open out my arms just in time for him to jump into them, everyone in the lunch hall seems to ignore us, being too use to this charade…except for one person. I notice the girl from earlier sitting at our table laughing at us, I shrug it off and go and sit down at the table ignoring her, playing hard to get, knowing that sooner or later she was going to want to talk to me...they always do. I sit talking to Rian for a few minutes before hearing her voice for the first time ever.
“Yeah I'm Rebecca, I just moved here this summer.” I turn around quickly noticing a cute little British accent. I can’t help but talk to her to make sure I'm not hearing things.
“Do I hear a British accent from that side of the table?” I ask towards Rebecca. She stares at me for a few seconds before replying.
“Ermm yeah I guess you do” she laughs, god that laugh is adorable, no stop it Alex, you don’t think that kind of thing. “ I'm Rebecca.” She says smiling at me.
“Cool and I'm Alex, I'm from Britain too by the way, but my parents moved here when I was 7 meaning my British accent went.” I reply with a shrug. “ You've met Kara, already know Jacky boy and that ugly potato next to her is Rian.” I continue pointing round to everyone round the table.
“Oit, shut it Gaskarth, just because we don’t all spend hours in the morning getting ready doesn't mean we are any less good looking.” Retorts Rian, I ignore him and continue to stare at this beautiful girl. Wait beautiful? No Alexander Gaskarth you do not call girls beautiful, hot yes…beautiful no.
“Just ignore them love, hey how about you and I get out of here and get to know each other for a while? My place is free.” I say winking at her while giving her the famous Gaskarth wink…that should do the trick.
“Oh see I would but I would like to try going my whole life without getting an STD.” she replies with a dead serious tone. I try not to look so shocked I mean when did I ever get turned down? I notice everyone starting to laugh a little.
“And what do you mean by that?” I question eyeing her from across the table.
“Nothing just you seem to be that kind of boy.” She shrugs. Now she was starting to annoy me.
“What kind of boy?” I question.
“The kind of boy to use girls for sex then forget about them.” I don’t know why but this statement stunned me…I mean she only just met me, who’s she to judge.
“I just wan't apologise now for Alex here, when he sees a pretty girl he seems to think he can get in her pants straight away as he thinks he is so hot when in fact he is nothing compared to me” jokes Jack trying to defuse the tension as he slips into the seat next to her. I decide to shrug off the whole idea of it all and go back to joking.
“Hey I'm hotter than you!” I Shout at Jack before getting up to attack him. After a few minutes I stop noticing the girls have disappeared.
“Where did the girls go?” I question to Rian.
“Errm toilets I think, why Alex, can’t get over being turned down?” Rian Jokes.
“HA HA! Very funny, no actually just wondering, anyway why would I want a girl like her, seems too difficult to get into bed.” I joke back causing Rian to laugh and shake his head and Jack to glare at me.
“Well good I don’t want you treating Becz like that.” Replies Jack staring at me.
“Awwww what’s wrong? Does Jacky have a crush?” While I ask this question I feel a strain on my heart, the idea of Jack liking Rebecca makes me sick.
“Shut up Alex.” Replies Jack while he blushes, yeap Jack likes her alright and too be honest, I'm not that happy about it. A few minutes later Kara comes back without Rebecca.
“Where’s Becz?” asks Jack looking around like a lost puppy dog.
“Errm I gave her a few minutes alone…Jack do you know why she moved here?” Kara asks leaning across the table.
“No she didn't say why?” he asks looking confused.
“Just when I asked why she moved here, she got really upset.” Kara replies looking worried. I sit wondering for a minute why in fact she actually moved here. A few minutes later Rebecca comes back sitting down next to Jack, making me feel sick may I add.
I see Jack lean closer and whisper into her ear, this small gesture making me jealous, I sit staring at Rebecca for the rest of lunch until she stands up excusing herself and running out of the cafeteria. For a few minutes everyone stares at each other before shrugging it off and that’s when I notice Kendra out of the corner of my eye making a beeline for our table, quickly I excuse myself and run out the way Rebecca went.
I notice from the far distance Rebecca on her own in her car, I begin to make my way other there, to question her why she doesn't seem to like me. As I get closer I notice she’s crying, this small act pulls on my heart strings, I mean I may be a douche but even I don’t like to see a girl cry. I move closer and knock on her window seeming to frighten her, slowly she recognises me before winding the window down.
