Twists and Turns

Chapter08

Poppy

This morning I woke up as I did every morning. Dreading to go to school but, that all changed when I met Alexi. I honestly couldn't believe my luck when she said she would be my friend even after I told her she could become a target of being bullied. I really thought I was getting pranked again, but when she stood up for me and laid Alex out I really just was overwhelmed with emotion. To make it even better Lex reassured me that she is not going anywhere. I'm honestly so happy.

When I got home Damien wasn't there so I just ordered us a pizza each, I got the mexican and for Dame I got the meat lovers. I ate my pizza and did my homework, I was just to excited to go to sleep. So I watched some TV and waited for Dame, I had to tell him about my day.

At nine thirty I heard Dame's bike pulling up, I was to excited to wait so I rushed out and jumped on him to give him a bear hug. Lucky for me he had already dismounted and taken his helmet off.. Could've knocked him off or smacked my head on his helmet. Sometimes I dont think just act.

"Woah Poppy. What's got you so happy and excited?" "Come inside and eat your pizza I'll tell you while you eating" I ran inside to get his pizza out the microwave and waited for him in the kitchen. He took his first slice "Okay Pops what's up?" He started eating his pizza."I made a new friend named Lex today. I cannot believe how lucky I am" "Stop Pops, you know Lex is the lucky one right?" "I think we both are. Doesn't take anyone's sh*t either" "Language Poppy" "Sorry. The only problem is I think Lex is going to be a target of bullying now. I'm really worried, you know how the "elites" can be." I cannot tell him just yet that it could be all my fault, I honestly just dont have the guts to. I'm to scared maybe he will be mad for keeping it from him or maybe you will do something and land up in jail. I just couldn't bare to lose him. I do need to come clean soon though specially if Lex becomes a target because of me. I don't want Dame finding out through someone else, and what if Lex and I really need help and I haven't explained. I think I'll ask Lex to come help me have that talk with Dame, I would also have to tell her everything that I have been going through she has the full picture. Maybe this Saturday? I really has to be done as soon as possible. "Why do you say that Poppy?" "Well, the entitled bum heads were bullying this girl and my friend Lex stepped in. Even managed to get Alex, one of the Jocky bum heads on his ass. Do you understand now?" "Sh*t Pops. I know how they can be but if Lex has already laid one on his ass do you think they will be dumb enough to try again?" "You know those people have more money than sense. Not the brightest stars in the sky if you catch my drift. What makes it even worse is Lex has this english project with king bum head himself Blake, I got paired up with Alex and unfortunately the project has to be done after school hours." I frown. "Let me know if they do try anything with Lex or the other girl. I'll sort it out, it's not right that they get to do as they please to people and face no serious consequences. As for you being paired up with Alex come do it at the shop, then I can be there just in case he does anything funny." That at least makes me feel a little better, but what is Lex going to do about Blake? Maybe we can come up with a plan, I dont think she is scared or anything, but it's better to be prepared. Blake is not the sharpest knife in the draw, so maybe she can convince him that she can do all they work and just add his name. She didn't seem to pleased to be paired up with him at all. "Thanks Dame.Oh by the way Lex's brother is Jared the new guy that started working at the shop." "Oh cool he is a good guy. Sure he will also be there for Lex." "I guess you right. Night Dame love you." " Sleep well Pops Love you too"
