The bell rang and Finn and I pulled away.

I was shocked and mad at him, but then again it shows he cares about me enough to not care about what anyone else thinks.

I hugged him tightly as everyone went to their classes.

Once we were alone I pulled away and glared at him.

"What were you thinking?" I asked slowly.

"I got jealous and frustrated. I want to be able to hold you and kiss you any time and any where I want. I tired of it being a secret. I don't care who knows now,"

"Wow," I said shocked. "I just wish you talked to me about this first,"

"I know, I'm sorry, but I couldn't take it anymore,"

"I know," I smiled placing my hand on his cheek.

He smiled and took his hand and put it to mine. "It's only going to get harder,"

"I know," I sighed.

"You have to trust each other no matter what,"

"Okay,"

"People will try and break us up,"

"I think your just a little paranoid,"

"Alex, I'm serious," Finn said removing my hand from his face.

"Okay, I believe, you,"

"Good,"

"Calm down, I won't leave you,"

Finn sighed and hugged me. "Promise?" he whispered to me.

"Yes," I said hugging him tighter.

We stood there for a while then went to our classes.

When I walked in, I quietly too my seat and tried to ignore the glares and whispering.

Is this what Finn meant?

The class was over and I walked to my next one.

The classes seemed to drag on.

The glares, whispering, gossip, lies were surrounding me.

Damn people, is it that serious?

Finally it was lunch and I get to see two people that won't judge me.

I hurried to my locker only to be disappointed.

Travis and Chris weren't there.

They never leave me. They ditched me because on Finn.

I couldn't believe it. I refused to.

I stood there waiting for them to come.

I texted them and got nothing back.

I sighed and sat down on the ground. I wasn't going to leave until they came.

They wouldn't just leave me like that, would they?

"Alex?" my head shot up and looked over at...

Finn.

"Hey," I sighed.

"What's up?" he asked handing me a sandwich and juice.

"I'm waiting for Travis and Chris to come, they wouldn't just leave me,"

"I saw them in the cafeteria," Finn said wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"No, I refuse to believe that,"

"I'm sorry, Alex,"

I sighed. "This is what you were talking about, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's harder for you than me, for now,"

"You're a jack ass,"

"Yeah, well,"

"I'm going to give everyone a piece of my damn mind. I can date whoever I want, getting pissed off at me is stupid!" I said marching to the cafeteria.

"No, don't do that, just don't, ignore them,"

"I can't do that,"

"Alex,"

"Finn, back off," I said walking to the cafeteria.

Finn followed behind me as I walked into the cafeteria.

The room seemed to grow quite as I walked in.

"Oh, look, it's the school's slut," Carey said standing up.

"I've had it with you and your bull shit,"

"I don't know what your talking about,"

"Green isn't a good color on you,"

"Finn isn't a good color on you,"

"Read my damn lips, bitch, Finn doesn't like you, he never did! Swallow your damn pride and get over it. Just because I'm dating him doesn't mean that the whole damn school should turn it's back on me,"

"Oh, Alex, if only you knew, wake up from your little dream. This is high school, things are different and your not ready for it yet. Your not ready for Finn either. He's a man and he doesn't want to play with a little girl like you with your little girl games,"

"Then why would he go for you?"

"I'm mature and very much a woman,"

"You don't at like it,"

"Oh but I do, Finn's just using you. He hated you from day one, this is just a silly little prank to break your heart and humiliate you at the same time,"

"Shut the hell up!" I snapped.

"Why should I? the truth too hard to hear?"

"Carey, I'm warning you, shut the hell up,"

"Alex, your ugly, fat, and plain. What guy in his right mind with go out with you? You nothing important,"

"You were just like me,"

"Were, is the key word,"

I could feel the tears coming. I was going to cry later. I walked up to Carey and punched her in the jaw.

She screamed and fell on the floor.

"You slut," she screamed!

"That's it," I said and started to beat the shit out of her.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" everyone chanted.

Finn ran over and pulled me off of her and dragged me out of the cafeteria.

I started to cry and Finn held me tight.

What Carey said hurt me, a lot. It was from my ex best friend and in front of the whole school.

Nothing she said could be true. Could it?

"Nothing she said was true," Finn said as if he was reading my mind. "I care about you,".

I nodded my head and slowly stopped crying.

I now understand what Finn was talking about.

This wasn't going to be easy at all.
