Lexi smiled, her heart thrilling that he wanted her near him, and she sat down quickly, as if he'd change his mind if she dawdled too long.  She was about to ask about his friend, the one that was in class with them, when the other guy walked in and smirked, looking at her, and took a seat across the room.<br/><br/>"How did I sleep?" she repeated, her voice coming out in a little squeek, "I slept... very well, thank you."  She blushed bright red as she thought about how she'd brought herself to climax, ensuring a good night's sleep.  Just then, the teacher walked in and started class, cutting off their conversation before she could ask him the same.  Did he even sleep?  Or was he like Edward from<em>Twilight</em>?<br/><br/>After class, she wanted to stay and talk to him, but she had to rush out of there.  She had to get to her locker before next period.  She turned to Vician and said, "I'll see you later.  In class."  She gave him a little smile, her eyes speaking volumes as to her desire to spend more time with him, and she rushed out.<br/><br/>She was down the hall from her locker when she was joined by a girl she had never seen.  She had short dark hair and a<em>joie de vivre</em>that was evident in her every step.  The girl didn't stop her, just walked with Lexi.  "So... you want Vic, huh?"<br/><br/>Alexis stopped and looked quizzically at the girl.  "I'm sorry, what?"<br/><br/>The girl laughed, the sound tinkling and beautiful.  She was stunningly alluring.  "Sorry, Jen told me.  She was fishing for information about him for you.  I'm his friend, Sarah."<br/><br/>Lexi relaxed and continued walking.  "Um... yeah, I might be a little interested."<em>Or a lot.</em>She arrived at her locker and let her book bag fall to the ground.  Bending down, she took out a binder to replace with another, turning the dial to open her locker.  "Have you known him long," she asked as she lifted the latch and opened it.<br/><br/>Her breath caught when she saw what was inside, laying on top of her neatly lined books and binders.  She fingered the smooth, silky petals of the rose, forgetting about the girl at her side, until she heard the low, throaty chuckle.  "Oh, this is too good.  Vic has it bad.  You're a lucky girl, Alexis."  Lexi looked sharply at the girl and picked up the note, holding it to her chest.  Sarah laughed again.  "Priceless.  We should hang out after school.  You can ask questions about Vic," she said, dangling the carrot before Lexi.  "I'll come over to your house.  Don't worry, I'll figure out where it is."  Sarah finger-waved at Lexi and was gone.<br/><br/>Lexi went to her next class, the rose woven through the zipper on her backpack.  Jen sat next to her and passed a note.<em>I talked to Sarah.  She said she'd talk to you.</em>Lexi smiled and wrote back,<em>She already did.  Thanks!</em><br/><br/>She would trudge through lunch, but what she was really looking forward to was the afternoon, when she'd get to see Vician again in science class.
