Chapter Three

Rex opened the door to his classroom in the I.C.T department at college, it swung open with a creak causing the class and teacher to look at him. He smiled nervously and walked over to the teacher as the students got back to their work. Rex spotted his best friend Trixie staring at him as he walked across the room, she wore a frown and watched him with concern.

"Late again Rex, that's the fourth time this week," said the teacher disapprovingly. She picked up a red biro and marked Rex's lateness in the register.

"I'm sorry Mrs Anderson, I missed the bus and had to wait for the second," Rex lied. Mrs Anderson pursed her lips into a thin line and adjusted her glasses while staring at him. She tapped the pen on the register. She scrutinized him with her piercing gaze. Rex couldn't bare the look and stared down at the ground, staring at the untied laces on his shoes.

"Don't let it happen again and if you are Rex, I will have to have words with your homeroom tutor," Mrs Anderson warned. Rex looked up and gave a nod his head. Mrs Anderson's eyes softened.

"Go find a seat and log in. We're continuing work on our game designs from yesterday," she instructed. Rex smiled and moved away. He hurried over to Trixie, anxious to be away from the teacher, and he sat himself down in the spin chair next to Trixie which she had saved for him. He put his bag down under the desk and logged in. His fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard and while he waited for the computer to load, he twirled his chair around in Trixie's direction. Her bright blue eyes were staring into his dark green ones and he felt his heart race.

"I sent you a text at nine. Where have you been?" she asked. Rex rubbed the back of his neck.

"I missed the bus," he said. Trixie gave him a look and Rex turned away to stare at the Jurassic Park background on his computer screen. He hated lying to Trixie. They had been best friends since kindergarten and had never spent a day apart since then. Somewhere along the line in high school though Rex had started to see Trixie in a different light and wanted to be her boyfriend. He knew it would never happen though. Boyfriends were meant to be tough, so they could protect their girlfriends from harm, but Rex was the weakest boy at college and was bullied by Sid Phillips when no one was around to see it. What sort of boyfriend would he make to Trixie? 'A useless one,' Rex thought, sadly.

He heard Trixie sigh and he looked over to see her brushing a hand through her styled short bob that was the shade of sky blue.

"I know when you're lying to me Rex," she said, quietly, so no nosy students would overhear them.

"I'm not lying. W-Why would I lie to you? I overslept and missed the bus. Oh by the way I got into so much trouble this morning from my parents because I was still awake at two am playing Call of Duty," said Rex. "They told me they might take the game away from me."

Trixie's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Rex hoped by changing the subject it would stop Trixie questioning him.

"No! They can't do that. Who will I play with then?" she asked. Rex thought about his and Trixie's group of friends they had both made in high school and were now all in college together, none of them though were into computer games as much as him and Trixie.

"I don't know. Don't worry though even if my parents take the game out my room, I always have the spare," said Rex. He lifted up his bag and pulled out the game and Trixie smiled.

"Good," she said, happily and went back to her work. Rex inwardly sighed, relieved to have escaped from Trixie's probing questions. Rex loaded up his work and only worked on it for five minutes until Trixie spoke.

"I have some news," she said, keeping her eyes on her own computer screen.

"What?" Rex asked, nervously, fearing she was going to tell him something horrible.

"Well I'm not going to say until we meet Dolly, Bullseye and Buttercup at lunch. But I will say this, its life changing news," she said, seriously. Rex looked at her baffled. He was her best friend, if she had life changing news, he would usually be the first one she'd tell.

"You can tell me. What is it?" he asked, curious. Trixie smiled and pulled out her iPod, she handed one of the headphones to Rex.

"Not until lunchtime," said Trixie, placing in the headphone and pressing play on the iPod. Rex frowned but decided to leave it and put the headphone in his ear. They worked on their projects all morning until the clock reached half twelve and they were free for a whole hour and a half to have lunch. Rex and Trixie walked over to the college cafeteria and sat down around one of the metal tables and in the plastic seats. Trixie got out her phone and started to send texts to Bullseye, Buttercup and Dolly, telling them where to meet her and Rex.

While they waited for their friends Rex went and lined up in the queue for his food and Trixie sat at the table eating the pasta she had made at home, with parmesan cheese and peas. Rex came back with a plate of chicken curry and a small piece of naan bread; he also carried a bowl full of fruit salad.

"I thought you might like some pudding," he said, sliding the bowl towards Trixie. Trixie smiled and Rex dug into his curry, missing the slight blush that appeared on Trixie's cheeks.

Jeff Buttercup was the first friend they saw coming through the cafeteria doors. He was sweaty, his blond hair gripped to his forehead and the nape of his neck and he was dressed in his college gym clothes. Bullseye soon followed him through the doors and was also in his gym clothes except his breathing was even and had hardly broken a sweat.

"I swear Sarge has lost his mind," Buttercup said with a very deep voice, falling into a chair and breathing heavily. Despite his deep voice, Buttercup looked a little feminine. However he was very manly but only his friends would know he had a big soft heart.

"He made us all run around the track twenty times and do a hundred push ups," Buttercup continued, sprawled out on the chair. He got out his drink and started to take long gulps of it. Bullseye sat down next to him and looked amused at his friend's unfitness.

"Well he was in the army. He likes to be strong on all of you," said Trixie. Buttercup took the bottle away from his lips and stared at Trixie ludicrously.

"Yeah but he's killing us," he cried. Trixie rolled her eyes.

"Stop being such a drama queen," she said. Buttercup eyes narrowed.

"I'm not. He's evil," Buttercup retorted. Bullseye shook his head and made some hand gestures to them. Like his cousins, Woody and Jessie, his friends had taken the time to learn sign language to communicate with him.

"Well of course he's nice to you. You're the fastest guy in college," said Buttercup, disgruntled. Bullseye smiled proudly and Buttercup rolled his eyes. The two of them lined up to buy their food and Trixie scanned the lunch room, searching for Dolly, and absent-mindedly eating her fruit salad. Bullseye and Buttercup soon came back with their plates full of food and they sat down opposite Rex and Trixie.

"Where is she?" Trixie growled frustrated. She picked up her phone and checked to see if she had missed any phone calls or text messages.

"Relax Trix, she'll be here in a bit," said Buttercup.

"I hope nothing bad as happened on the way over here from work," said Rex, fretfully. Trixie shook her head.

"Don't be silly Rex. The hair salon is right round the corner from here, nothing can happen to her," she said.

"Alien abduction," said Buttercup, grinning. Rex whimpered and Bullseye hi-fived Buttercup while Trixie let out another annoyed groan and clutched her hair. Then suddenly her eyes widened and she leaped up in her seat, causing the table to shove forwards into Bullseye and Buttercup's stomachs, and waved at Dolly who had just entered through the doors.

"Where the hell have you been?" Trixie shouted, as Rex moved the table away from a suffocating Bullseye and Buttercup. Dolly Chuckle ran up to them, her dyed purple hair flying behind her as she hurried towards them. She was a small seventeen years old who only reached the height of four foot four. She was a trainee hairdresser at the salon in town and was put on a brave face even if her family was going through some difficult times at the moment.

"Take a chill pill Trixie, I'm here now and thank you for the fifteen plus messages you've left on my phone," said Dolly, sitting down in-between Buttercup and Trixie.

A small blush appeared on Trixie's cheeks. "Sorry about that, but where have you been?" she asked. Dolly put down her bag and got out the sandwiches she had made earlier at home.

"Work at the hair salon was busy. Barbie asked me to do the oddest task and I don't even work in the cleaning department!" Dolly said, angrily. She savagely took a bite out of her sandwich and munched on it.

"Slow down Doll and explain from the beginning," said Buttercup. Dolly swallowed her food and took a deep breath to calm down.

"Right you know the Dream House in town? It's a cleaners, hair salon and beauty and perfume store downstairs and upstairs it's where Ken and Barbie show and sell all their line of clothing," said Dolly. Her four friends nodded their heads and she carried on. "I was there this morning giving a client a trim when Bullseye's cousin walked in, the chief inspector Woody, isn't it?"

Bullseye nodded his head.

"Right, as they were short staffed in the cleaners and the hair salon was quiet. Barbie asked me to clean the mustard off his suit jacket which I agreed to. I mean, it's just mustard right?" said Dolly, lightly. Her face then fell. "Oh why did she make me do it?" she groaned.

"What happened to the jacket? That thing was new," Bullseye conversed with his hands. Dolly whined and bit her lip.

"Let's just say it's now its shrunk a size, reeks of vinegar, dripping wet and had a chemical reaction to the detergent and all purpose cleaner I used, turning it yellow. The only thing great about the whole mess is that the stain can't be seen because it blends in so well with the rest of the suit now," said Dolly, sarcastically. There were a couple of coughs around the table as Bullseye, Buttercup and Rex tried to cover up their laughter. Trixie put a comforting hand on Dolly's arm.

"At this moment Ken is shopping in the town to find a replacement," said Dolly. She massaged her temple with her fingers. "I'm lucky I wasn't fired."

"It's not your fault," said Rex. "You're not qualified to work in the cleaners section."

"Clearly," said Buttercup, smiling. Dolly smacked his arm but it just made him grin wider.

"Don't worry Dolly, I won't tell Woody about this,"promised Bullseye. Dolly gave him a thankful smile.

"Thanks Bullseye," she said. Dolly looked at Trixie and smiled. "So what's this life changing news you talked about on my messages?" Trixie beamed and strummed the tips of her fingers on the edge of the table. Rex felt the butterflies swirling around in his stomach. He always feared the worst in every situation but looking at the beaming smile on Trixie's face made him relaxed.

"I have a boyfriend," Trixie announced.

Alarm bells went off in Rex's head. His stomach churned as the butterflies went haywire and a sharp pain clutched his chest. Dolly was the only ecstatic one around the table and she leapt up and wrapped her friend in a hug. Bullseye and Buttercup's eyes swivelled over to Rex to see his crestfallen face.

"What do you think guys?" Trixie asked, smiling at them when Dolly had detached herself away from Trixie. Bullseye and Buttercup shook their heads to clear them and broke out in smiles. Rex just stared at his empty plate, feeling his eyes sting.

"Fantastic," said Buttercup, although he didn't mean it wholeheartedly. He just felt sorry for Rex. "Who's the lucky chap? How long have you been together for?"

"Well we've been flirting here and there and we've so far had two dates and last night, we were talking on the phone and decided to make things official between us," said Trixie. She looked up and let out a squeal. "Here he is now!" she said, before leaving the table and taking off at a run. Rex watched her go and head straight into the arms of Sid Phillips.

He abruptly stood up from the table, causing it once again to screech across the floor and squish Bullseye and Buttercup; he swung his bag on his back and took off out the cafeteria, trying to keep it together as his heart broke in two.

Yes I'm evil.

Alright just a little quick thing to see what the problems the characters have and will have to face.

Buzz and Jessie: Emily.

Rex: Sid.

Dolly: Family issues. Will get into more detail later.

I think that's it for now.

Okay, hope you enjoyed reading the chapter. I shall update when I can and don't forget to leave a review.
