I Doubt I Will Survive Living With These Guys

Melanie's Back

After the game, Dallas ran up to me, grinning. "We won!"

I raised my brows, looking away from him, "I noticed."

"What's wrong?" He frowned, squatting to my level

"Nothing." I threw him a fake smile and limped over to my bag, scooping it up and putting it on my shoulder

Bianca pulled my into a tight hug, "Are you okay? I should go rip her extensions out!"

I chuckled, "It's fine. They wrapped me up good."

Kayden appeared behind Bianca, a large grin on his face. Bianca pulled away and hopped over to the smiling team. Kayden began walking towards me but I turned around and talked to Kenzii who was behind me.

"Good job, Kenzii. You were amazing." I smiled, allowing her to pull me into a hug

"You were too...you know...until you got hurt." She said awkwardly, looking around, "Now, I feel like breaking the little girls face." She grunted, crossing her arms over her chest

I smiled, "Well, don't. Don't need you getting suspended."

Kenzii rolled her eyes, smiling, "Okay. Only because you said not to." She skipped away to the rest of the girls

"Lexi?" Kayden's voice rang behind me Clenching my teeth, I turned to him and sharply asked,

"What?" He flinched, his browns furrowing into a frown, "What's wrong with you?"

My hand flew out and connected with his cheek, "You know exactly what's wrong with me, Kayden."

Kayden flexed his jaw, reaching out to me. I slapped his hand away and turned around, limping through the crowd of cheering people.

"Hey!" Dallas yelled, grabbing hold of my shoulder, "What was that about, Alexis?"

Jerking out of his hold, I continued walking, "Ask Kayden. Or better yet, Melanie."

Pulling my keys out of my bag, I unlocked my car door and slid in, starting the car.

"Whoa, whoa, what do you think you're doing?" Xavier asked, opening my car door, "Get out. You can't drive."

"Yes, I can." I said firmly, trying to shut the door

"Don't make me pick you up. I'm tired and lazy. Please get out willingly." He sighed lazily, leaning against the door, his dark brown eyes staring down at me

Huffing, I got out and walked around to the passenger side, getting in and buckling up. Xavier got in and put his seat belt on.

"So, you okay?" Xavier asked, glancing at me as he carefully backed out

"My ankle is fine." I said, staring out the window

"No, are you. I saw Kayden and Melanie. Also, I saw you hit him." He smiled, pulling onto the road

"I'm fine. Should have seen this coming. She was the first girl he ever loved." I shrugged, "She can have him. I don't care."

"Melanie wasn't the first girl he loved. She was the only one he was allowed to love." Xavier said, looking over at me

"What do you mean?" I asked, turning to him

"He's loved you since you were eight, Lexi. But you know Dallas' rule. None of us were allowed to date you. I don't know why he would ruin his chances with you. It's probably the only chance Dallas will give him."

I nodded, looking out the window again, "It's whatever. I knew he was a player but...I don't know." I bite my bottom lip, leaning my head against the window \
