was every teenagers dream.
"Fine."
Fifteen minutes later my dad was driving me to school. A black and white squad car followed closely behind us. I rolled my eyes and stared out the window. I hadn't even thought about Lexie Vega until then. I wondered if she'd been missing school too, or if she'd spent the time, I was gone spreading awful rumors.
As we pulled into the parking lot, I got my answer. Standing with her arms crossed over chest was Lexie Vega, and shockingly she didn't seem pissed at all, in fact, she was actually smiling

Soft Voices
My dad grabbed my arm before I could exit the car. "Wait for the officer."
His eyes motioned towards Lexie and I rolled my own. Right like she would actually attack me in the light of day in front of him, and the officer that was parked next to us. Yea she might be a bitch, but she wasn't stupid.
"Dad it's fine, we don't even know if it was her. And honestly, I'm not so sure it was her anyway." I reached for the door handle and exited the car.
Lexie came fo rward and reached for my bag. "Thought you might need some help."
I chewed on my bottom lip in confusion, okay I was d efinitely not expecting that.
"Uh, sure, wait why?"
She sighed and came closer, I took a step back in defense. "Look I didn't do that to you Pacey, and I can prove it. I was in Hawaii this weekend, visiting my Nana. She's my favorite person. I wouldn't do that.” She pointed to my injuries.
“ I...I wanted to thank you, no one's ever stood up to me, not really you know. Even Rhiannon didn't stand there and say, what I'm positive was something I needed to hear. She just did a lot of name calling." She grabbed my backpack and put it on her empty shoulder.
"Honestly L exie I don't know what to say."
She grinned. "No I get it, Rhiannon's on her way over. I'd carry this for you all day, but I think she might just kill me."
Lexie handed me back my bag and turned to walk away. Before she'd gone very far she turned around again.
"I'd really like to be your friend."
My jaw dropped. What was she playing at? I watched Rhiannon walk forward and bump into Lexie on purpose. Lexie fell backwards on to her butt. People gathered around her and laughed. All of the sudden Lexie Vega wasn't little Miss Popularity anymore. She stood up and dusted off her hands, I watched her glance over her shoulder at me and smirk. Rhiannon gave her another dirty look before she walked away.
"Why were you talking to trashy pants?" Rhiannon's voice was high and annoyed.
I really missed my old friend, the one that didn't j ump to conclusions, or talk bad about people all the time. I stared into her heavily lined blue eyes and shook my head.
"Why does it really matter Rhi? I didn't thi nk we were talking yet anyway."
Rhiannon 's eyes narrowed. "What crawled up your ass and made you become such a bitch to me?"
Luckily, I saw Dean breaking through the crowd that had earlier been laughing at Lexie.
"You know what, I'm starting to think you ’re just as bad as she is now Rhiannon, worse actually, because she was never nice, but you were, and now it seems like you're trading places."
" I've been your best friend for how long and that’s how you're going to talk to me. You better be careful Pacey, or I'll---"
I interrupted her tantrum. "You'll what, spread rumors, or make some stupid plan to take me down. Give it a rest, is this really, how you want to spend the rest of our senior year. Obsessing over Lexie and being such a bitch, your best friend doesn't want to hang out with you anymore. God Rhi, I almost died, and all you care about is your vengeance. Your ridiculous obsession."
By the time I was done speaking Dean was at my side. I didn't know what was wrong with me. Ever since Dean moved here I'd changed, or maybe I hadn't, maybe I'd just gotten sick of being Rhiannon's Bad Girl Sidekick. I never really wanted anything to do with her plan anyway.
Maybe now, for once, I was saying
