Rebecca's POV-
As I entered my first period, I headed straight to the back of the class and sat down. I was still caught up in my thoughts and over thinking what had happened last night that I didn't even notice Lexie take a seat next to me, so it was a surprise when I felt her tap me on the shoulder.
"I called your name like three times, you sure you're okay?" She asked looking at me with concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. What was it that you wanted?" I asked trying to focus on something other than my thoughts.
"I'm trying to give you back your phone. You know because you left it at Mike's house last night." She said now holding out my phone in front of me.
"Oh yeah, thanks. I almost forgot about that." I said offering her a smile.
"That reminds me, Mike wanted to say thanks again for helping him last night. Your plan worked perfectly." Lexie said smiling back as our conversation started to flow again.
"Oh that. That was nothing. I'm just glad I could help." I replied now finally starting to relax.
With that the classroom door closed as Mrs Brady our English teacher entered. "Morning class, so first things first. I want everyone to get into pairs for your first assignment of the year. As we are starting Literature we will mainly be focusing on Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, so your assignment is going to be simple. In your pairs you both need to read Act 1, Scenes 1&2 and then make a poster summarising what has happened in them scenes. Now use this lesson to get started because this is due Tuesday next week." She finish now taking at seat at her desk.
"So partner, how about you come to my house tonight so we can start the poster?" Lexie asked.
This caught me off guard. I'd love to go to her house, trust me, I would. But the last thing I want to do right know is to make my dad angry again.
"Tonight... um I don't think I can. I mean, I still have quite a bit to unpack." I replied trying to think of an excuse.
"Okay, so how about this weekend then? It's Wednesday now, so you should be finished by then, right?" She asked with a questioning look.
"Yeah, of course. Let me just check with my dad tonight." I replied with a smile and this seemed to satisfy her.
For the rest of that lesson we all read in silence.
After the class had ended we had History with Mr Jones which went pretty fast. Soon enough it was break, so me and Lexie met Mike, Hannah and Noah at the cafeteria.
"Here she is! My actual life savour!" Mike squealed when he saw me.
That caused Lexie to giggle as she moved towards the table and took a seat.
"Me? No, that was nothing. I'm just happy it worked and that no one got into trouble." I said taking a seat across from Lexie and next to Mike.
"Don't be so modest Rebecca. Mike told us about your revenge plan. It was pretty cool of you to help." Noah interjected.
"Yeah, it was." Hannah added offering me a smile.
After that the conversation changed to peoples plans for the weekend, which I thought was weird because we were only half way through the week. But this topic caused Lexie to smile.
"Well, me and Rebecca have an assignment due Tuesday so she'll probably be coming over to mine." Lexie said directing it at the rest of the group as I was fiddling with my phone.
But this definitely caused me to look up and with that I saw a few smiles from the rest of the group.
"Ooo, really? So are you two having a sleepover or something then?" Mike asked now grinning at both me and Lexie.
"A sleepover, I never even thought about that. You could stay over if you wanted to." Lexie said giving me a smile and with that everyone was eagerly looking at me for my answer.
"Umm... yeah sure, I just need to double check with my dad." I said smiling back at her. My answer definitely seemed to make everyone on the table happy.

The rest of the day seemed to drag, but soon enough I was on the bus with Lexie heading home.
"So... did you enjoy our date yesterday?" Lexie asked turning towards me in her seat.
"Yeah, it was really fun. We should do it again sometime... I mean if you want to." I said back now rolling my eyes at how forward I must have sounded.
"Yeah I would really like that." Lexie replied will a cute smile.
Soon enough the bus pulled up to my stop, so I hopped off and started walking to my front door hesitantly.
All I could think about was last night and how my dad seemed to have just change, he'd never hit me before, never. But last night, he felt like a different person. And then this morning he was nice, acting like nothing had happened.
With that I opened the door.
"Hey, how was school Munchkin?" My dad greeted me the second I stepped into view.
"It was good." I said walking towards the sofa where he was sitting.
"That's good. I just wanted to let you know that I have to work tonight, so you'll have the house to yourself, so I left a 20 in the kitchen if you want to order a pizza." He said smiling at me as he got up to leave for work.
"Okay, thanks. Do you know what time you'll be off?" I asked as he opened the front door.
"I probably won't finish before midnight, so don't wait up. Oh and you might need to make your own breakfast before school tomorrow." He said as he waved goodbye and left.
I wasn't too shocked by this. He used to work nights sometimes when we lived at our old house, so he would always just sleep in the next morning. The only difference is is that now my mom wasn't here, so I truly did have the house all to myself.
As it was still early in the afternoon I just sat down on the sofa and watched some YouTube on my phone.
After about an hour of watching Clexa videos (which are elite by the way), I got a text from Lexie.
Lexie: Hey. What you up to?
Was all she said and even that left me with a stupid grin on my face, so I sent her a text back.
Rebecca: Nothing much, just watching Clexa Videos. How about you?
Lexie: No way! OMG! I love The 100 :) Clexa is life and I'm actually just lying on my bed doing nothing.
Rebecca: IKR! And If you're not doing anything, then maybe you could come over. I was actually just about to order a pizza.
Lexie: Yeah, sure. I'll be over in 15.
Is this really happening? I was so happy and yet completely nervous because Lexie Foster was about to come over. Over to my house.

After 15 minutes of me half panicking half cleaning my whole house, I finally heard a knock at the door.
As I opened the door I was met with the most beautiful girl ever. Had she changed her outfit? I thought. I pretty sure that I've never seen her in a skirt before. Either way she looked really nice.
"Heyyyy" I said with an extended 'y' as I looked her up and down.
She laughter at that stepping forward and lifting my chin to close my mouth. Omg, how embarrassing.
"Hey" she replied with a grin as she stepped passed me into the house.
As she walked forward into the front room I couldn't help but stare at her ass. Her skirt was tight. There was no way she was wearing this at school today. So why did she change?
Quickly looking away be for I got caught I continued the conversation.
"Um... can I get you something to drink?" I asked now shutting the door and walking towards her.
"No, I'm fine thanks. I really like your house." She added now turning to face me.
"Thanks." I said with a smile. "So, what type of pizza do you want?" I asked breaking my gaze as she got closer to me.
"How about ham and pineapple?" She asked giving me a small smile.
"Pineapple? On pizza! You are joking right?" I asked giving her a disgusted look.
"Of course I am." She said laughing. "Who likes pineapple on pizza? I just wanted to make sure you were normal." She said as I started to laugh with her.
"Thank god, I thought you was serious for a second. Um... how about Meat feast?" I asked and with that she smile.
"Meat feast is my favourite." She added.
"Good, so one large Meat feast pizza it is then. Take a seat on the sofa if you want, I'll just go order it. I'll be right back." With that I left and placed the order.
