Fix It

Chapter 12 - Spot Check

Sophie’s P.O.V

My heart fell into my chest every time I took a step closer to younger Alex. I was worried if he would remember me, since I talked to him before. The thing is, because it's a past possibility, he shouldn't remember me at all. If he did, it would cause major complications, and I'd definitely have to contact dad. He looked undoubtedly older now, his long brown hair was cut short in a wolf cut, he had a middle part to leave his field of vision clear. They didn’t wear uniforms so he was in a white long sleeve and a pair of acid wash jeans  that are ripped at the knees and ankles. 

He was in the line with the others, clearly upset by the spot check. He didn't look worried though...in fact he looked like he had nothing to hide. This scares me. What did the little mutt have up his sleeves? He is talking to his friend about some science project. His gaze solely focused on the ground.

Suddenly, He seemed to see my shadow and looked up at me. His face pulled a dirty smirk as I approached him. He stepped out of the line, meeting me half-way. “What’s such a beautiful girl like you doing here?” He said huskily as he stepped closer on the rough pavement. Having to tip on his toes to reach my hair that he pulled to the side, out of my face. Alex didn't tell me that he was such a flirt, but it fit his description well, didn't it?. “Aren't you like fourteen?” 

“I’m any age you want me to be suga.” I cringed so hard that I looked like I was taking a screenshot of myself. He was worse now than older. Absolutely disgusting, still a t**t and apparently likes older women. “I’m not a child groomer so I’m afraid I’ll stick to your original age, but I do have a question for you.” His face gained a scowl, obviously annoyed that his attempts at flirting didn't work. “You better shoot your shot babe, I don't give second chances.” I finally decided to play along. If this would get the answer that I needed then why the hell not? “If you answer my question, I’ll totally ask for your number.” This created a huge smile on his face before it formed into another flirty smirk. 

“I’m listening .” 

“I heard that you're the best prankster on the block, Word also goes around that you're gonna spray a girl in the eyes...Is this ture?” He tilted his head, furrowing his brows as he narrowed his lips. Squinting his eyes at me he finally asked. “How do I know that you're not working with that hell?” He pointed at Ms. Whitemore. “Ugh, why would I side with that tyrant? She has caused so much mayhem in my life already.” This seems to allow me to gain his trust as he stands impossibly closer to me. If I didn't want his answer, I’d be laughing right now. He was breaking his neck to look up at me as I looked down at him. How did this little sport turn into such a handsome prick? “I love your accent baby. Fine, I am pulling a prank on a girl, why?” 

I couldn't cringe any harder. How many girls did he actually pick up with these lines? “Is her name Lily...Lily Macbeth?” He nodded his head vigorously, a huge smile resting on his childish features. I placed a fake pout on my face, shedding a few fake tears.I know that is a sign of sadness for humans. Damn..I should be an actor. “What's wrong suga?” 

“N-Nothing,” He tipped on his toes, stretching as far as he could go to wipe some of my tears. At Least the t**t cared a little bit. “Tell me won't you? A pretty girl like you shouldn't cry.” If he was older and saying these exact words I’d probably blush but he's still fourteen and I’m still faking it. “It's just that I’m best friends with Lily’s older sister and I heard that she is having problems with her eyes already and if you spray her...she'll probably go blind. Then how will I date you?” He wrapped his arms around me, squeezing tightly he rocked me back and forth but it didn't last long because Ms.Whitmore was calling out his name. “Alex! Alex!,, where are you!” 

“I wish I could stay sweets...but destiny calls- Oh I’ll keep your opinion in mind, don't want to blind anyone,” He chuckled. “I’ll just spray it lightly.” A devilish smirk stained his face as he winked at me before jogging off to Ms.Whitmore. That Jerk! He was more infuriating than the dingbat I’m working with. He opened his book bag, showing it to Miss Whitemore with a huge smile on his face. She scowled at him, grabbing the bag before searching it thoroughly. She slowly handed his bag back to him, her cheeks red from embarrassment. “If I find that boy who accused you of bringing illegal substances to school. I’ll castrate him.” That's my cue. I dashed over to older Alex, gripping his hand before dashing behind the trash cans. “How did it go?’

“The t**t doesn't have the spray on him!” he must have hidden it. We need to find it before he sprays Lily’s in the eyes.” Alex nodded, we both looked over the trash cans to see a smirking younger Alex coming our way. “I think I know where he has hidden it.” Alex said. “I think I know too,” I shuffled trying to reach my hand in the bin without being seen. “We need a distraction,” Alex said. 

“Oh, that wasn't obvious at al!” He nudged me lightly on the head before picking up some pebbles from the floor before throwing them at his younger self. “Ow! Whoever that is, cut it out!” 

“Well what are you waiting for Sophie? Get the spray.” I rose quickly digging in the trash cans, there were three of them. Two had nothing but resting on the top of the third one was the source of our problems. However, just as I was about to take out the pepper spray, the note that I wanted to open earlier fell from the pocket of my jacket. I know that I should have just taken up the bottle but my curiosity got the best of me and so I opened the parchment. 

The message on it had me grabbing Alex’s hand and running off back home. I just hope that no damage was caused.
