Just My Luck

Chapter 2

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Fine." Trying to steady my breath and tap into everything Sadie had taught me, I turned to Scott and just blurt out.

"You are 2-faced, inconsiderate, full of yourself, and most of all, a douchbag. You have no regard for anyone's feelings but your own. And you go around bragging about all the girls that you have f****d and think it's the coolest thing. News flash it's disgusting. You're disgusting." I took a breath and looked back at my book." I cant believe that just came out of my mouth." I thought to myself.

"Are you jealous?"He says smirking again.

"Of what? Your conquest that become just another knot on your bedpost? No I'm good."

"And what do you know about my conquest?"

"You use whatever girl will throw herself at you, then you throw her to the side."

"And your point?"

"Your pathetic."

"How so?"

"Why don't you try going for a girl who doesn't just throw herself at you, one who has a little self-respect. A girl who isn't afraid to put you in your place, and then maybe we will talk."

"Hmmm." I don't respond. I roll my eyes and try and ignore him the best I can. That's harder said then done. Especially when he won't shut up.

"I'm just curious?"

"About what?"

" Why do you act so innocent? I'm sure somewhere deep down," he says, placing his hand on my upper thigh. " You're not so innocent and perfect as you like everyone to think. I've seen the books you read, Ally. 'Best friends shouldn't know how you taste'. Not so innocent if you ask me. Careful who you mess with, Princess. With those kind of secrets you might just give the guys the wrong idea. And we all know how they like the fresh ones." He says that last line a little too close to my ear and it sends an involuntary shiver down my spine.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I look at him, but before he can say anything, the bell rings. He goes to stand up turning ever so slightly towards me.

"Until next time." He says still smirking.

My head is spinning from my conversation with Scott. He's probably just being his asshole self and trying to get under my skin again. But why now? Why is he giving me all this attention now? It's been this way for the last week. Subtle touches and the fake flirting banter. I just don't get it. And it's driving me crazy. He is driving me crazy. Something is going on, and I will find out. I walk to my locker and put my books in. Walking out to the student parking lot, I spotted Sadie and Alex standing near my car. Walking towards them, they look at me, then back to each other and stop talking.

"Hey guys, what's going on?"

"Nothing, umm are we good Ally?" Alex says with a soft smile.

"Yeah, we are good. But what's going on?"

"We need to talk?" Sadie says while she looks back at Alex.

"On that note, I'm out. See y'all Monday. Love you guys." Alex says then gets in his car and takes off. Sadie looks at me and tries to divert her attention somewhere else.

" What's going on with you?"

"Not here. Could we go to your house?"

"Sure." I say as we get into my car. 20 minutes later we pull up to my house. My parents are gone at a conference, so we would be alone. Going to the kitchen, I go to the liquor cabinet. I know, I know. But still. It's to good to pass up.

"Pick your poison." I say, pulling out a few bottles.

"Whiskey is fine." She said as I pulled out a few glasses and poured us some drinks.

"Here you go." Handing Sadie her drink, we take a few swiggs. And the silence is killing me.

"OK, so I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid of how you would react."

"OK, spill."

"Um, well here's the thing. I think I have a stalker."

"What?"

"I found some notes in my locker, and notes in my mail box. No name on it though."

"What do they say?"

"Things like, you look so beautiful today, why did you wear that? Who was that girl you were hanging all over?Things like that."

"So he goes to our school? That's creepy. WAIT!!!! GIRL!!!"

"Um ya. I have a girlfriend. But back to the point, what am I going to do about this stalker? He knows where I live too."

"OK, we will get back to the girlfriend thing later. Have you turned these notes into the police?"

"Yes, they said they would take shifts patrolling my house and keep an eye on things, but until he does something there isn't much else they can do."

"Wow." Filling up our glasses, we both down our drinks in one go. Then another. This is a lot of information. My best friend has a girlfriend and a stalker. The cops can't do anything to help her. Scott is being weird. What else is life going to throw at me?

"Say something please."

"It's just a lot of information to take in all at once. I'm trying to process it all."

"I get that. I need another drink. You in?"

"Um, yeah for sure." I said. We spend the next few hours talking about everything while getting drunk. After a while, we turn in and know that tomorrow morning would come too early with major hangover vibes. The rest of the weekend is spent being hungover, eating our body weight in snacks and junk food and talking about how to handle everything. We are only high schoolers. How the hell are we going to handle this? One thing I know for sure is, we will find out who is doing this. I'm not much of a fighter. That's Sadie's job, but I will protect my best friend the best I can. Seeing how the cops wont.
