the pushover

“I don’t want to cry,” she said, though her eyes betrayed her. “I almost took him back–what does that say about me?”

savannah ran her fingers through alexa's hair. "but you should." she nodded. "a lot .. i mean you love him and it's too early to make any decisions.."

Alexa turned at the sound of Savannah’s voice, shaking her head. “No, not really,” she breathed out, trying not to cry again. “I just… I feel like everything is falling apart.”

savannah tilted her head, her hand stroking the other's arm. "we don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, but you can cry. i'm sure it will help you feel better."

“That’s good,” Alexa nodded, a smile on her face. “Oh, we’re good. Really good, actually.” She stopped herself there, chuckling slightly. “But I’m sure there are better things to talk about than my boyfriend.”

“Yeah, tell me about it,” Alexa blushed slightly, thinking about what she and Levi had done in an empty classroom just hours before. She adjusted her skirt, looking over at Savannah. “How’ve you been?”

even if they were doing something ‘wrong’, she missed that part, the fun she once had. a part of her was curious. "i've been --- good." she nodded. "what about you? and levi."

Alexa smiled at her, shrugging. “I was just looking for a familiar face,” she said. “That, and a sane person. People are starting to get weird.”

"i see what you're talking about." she shook her head. "you have to be careful with empty classrooms, who knows what people might be doing there. i'm glad i found this one."

“I knew I’d find you in here,” Alexa sat down in one of the classrooms next to Savannah, a small smile on her face as she smoothed out her uniform skirt. “I was looking for you.”

savannah found herself staring at one of the windows, her battery had died and she had literally nothing else to do. she looked at the other in surprise once she heard her voice. "were you?" she asked with a smile. “is there anything i can help you with?”

“if you want to borrow my phone you can just ask.” freddie said with a smile as she looked at the girl before handing her the device. 

“i can prove it to you if you’ve like.”

“worst timing ever,” she said, giving the girl a sympathetic look. kennedy bit her lip and racked her mind of a second, finally letting out a soft sigh, “i’m sorry. i’d offer you the charger i have stashed in my locker, but it really isn’t any good during a blackout.”

savannah looked up with a laugh as she realized what she had said. "not the smartest thing to use the charger when the power is out." she corrected herself.

“it’s sex.” axel stated. “it doesn’t have to be romantic, it’s fun.”

“and why not?” he asked with a raised brow. “i’ve done it before.”

“some sophomore just bet me that he could sleep with more girls than i could in the time it takes the power to come back on.” axel said with a soft laugh. “of course i agreed to the bet because i’m not one to shy away from a challenge.”

“this is so exciting.” freddie said with a smile. “i just spend the past two hours in the library –––– god i love this place.”

“yeah alright.” chloe said before unlocking her phone and handing it to the woman. 

“ Thank god I charged mine before coming, I’d die if I was stuck here without my phone” she told her”I didn’t bring a charger tho, sorry”

"i might die." she sighed as she blocked her phone’s screen. “--- of boredom.”

“It’s a dab pen, it’s like… a tech savvy way of smoking weed.”

"oh." she nodded, a little shocked and curious. "then no, but thanks.”

“ I have my power bank if you want.” Noah offered as his charger would be of no use without power.
