Chapter 23
“Hey Liv”Alex called.
“What is it Alex”I asked, my eyes not leaving the magazine I was reading.
“Aren’t you coming?”He asked.
“Where?”I asked.
“Blake’s place, he’s throwing a party”He said and i looked at him from my magazine.
“I’m not going”Was my response as i buried my eyes on my magazine.
“Ok”He said and then the place went quiet. I thought he had left and then just as i was about to drop my magazine, i was pulled up by strong arms and was now placed on Alex’s shoulder as he carried me up the stairs to my room with me yelling repeatedly and hitting his back for him to drop me.
When we got to my room, he slammed the door shut behind us and walked us to the bed where he dropped me carelessly as my back came in contact with the soft mattress.
“Hey why did you bring me here!”I yelled and sluggishly got up from the bed to face him.
“You have ten minutes to get ready, I’ll be waiting for you”He said.
“What part of I’m not going did you not understand?”I asked, folding my arms.
“What part of you have ten minutes to get ready did you not understand?”He questioned back, earning a glare from me.
“Hey I’m not your girlfriend!”I protested.
“You could be if you want?”He smirked and i scowled at him.
“Nah, you’re definitely not my type”I said.
“Then who’s your type then?”He asked.
“Wanna know? you really wanna know?”I asked.
“Yes, tell me”He said.
“Guys with common sense and brains are my type and I’m very sure you lack those qualities”I said.
“Really? Well luckily for you, I’m blessed with both common sense and brains”He simpered making me to shrug
“Get lost Alex”I scowled.
“No seriously, you’re going to that party with me, now get ready”He said.
“And what makes you think I’ll go to some dumb highschool party filled with horny and sweaty teenagers?”I rolled my eyes at him.
“Because I said so”He smirked and i simpered at me. He simpered back and i took a step closer to him whereas he took retreating steps back.
“W-what are you doing?”He asked and continued to step back with each forward step i took until his back came in contact with the door.
“Oh Alex, sweet sweet Alex”I smirked.
“What? Why are you acting weird?”He asked, nervousness capturing him.
“Bye”I smiled.
“Bye?”He asked, trying to figure out what i was going at but too late. I twisted the door knob and he went crashing out the door. I slammed the door shut immediately and started laughing out my lungs.
“Have fun at the party”I yelled out to him amidst laughter.

I spent the rest of the night studying for my test before sleep had overtaken me.
I woke up the next morning to a very strong headache. My head was pounding as if there was a circus going on in there that i wasn’t invited to.
I sluggishly pulled myself away from the bed and went to the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth and shower.
I put on a yellow t-shirt with black shorts and matching yellow sneakers. I grabbed my backpack and left for the kitchen where Alex was busy drinking water.
“Hey”I said as i walked past him into the refrigerator to grab a can of pepsi and then i shut back the fridge to face him.
Was he ignoring me?
“How was your party last night?”I asked.
“I didn’t go”He said.
“Huh? why!”I exclaimed.
“Well, it’s my responsibility to stay here with you and ensure your safety” He started.
Like i can’t take care of myself?
“So i couldn’t go to the party leaving you all alone here”He said.
“You know you should have gone, i could take care of myself just fine”I said, already feeling bad that i was the reason he didn’t go for his best friend’s party.
Alex was a party person and i wasn’t. That’s makes the two of us.
“Well had it been you agreed to follow me I’d have gone, i couldn’t leave you all alone here” He said.
‘It’s not like your of any use to me here’ I murmured.
“Huh?”He asked.
“Nothing, Look Alex, I’m sorry for being the cause of you not going to your best friend’s party”I said.
Wait did i just fucking apologize to Alex?
What’s come over me?
“It’s alright”He smiled and left the kitchen.
Why does this feel so weird? Me and Alex are getting along? we aren’t on each other’s neck?
I put my pepsi into my backpack and left the kitchen heading out of the house to my car.
It took me ten minutes to arrive at school and i immediately went to the classroom to settle down, awaiting my teacher for the test.
After the test, i went out to the cafeteria with my friends for lunch break and we sat over our lunch, talking about random meaningless things.
Some time while we were busy discussing, Blake had come over to join us on the table and was busy flirting with Zoey to my distaste.
“Come on Blake”Zoey said, standing up as she pulled Blake with her.
“Where are you guys off to?”I asked.
“The library, we have to study”Zoey answered and dragged Blake away.
“Did that seem awkward to you?”I asked Jane who was busy munching on her fries.
Since when did Zoey start studying? and with Blake?
“What?”She asked, totally unaware of the situation around us.
“Nothing”Was my response as i glared at her weirdly.
One thing i was sure about was that Zoey and Blake were going to do more than studying and i definitely wouldn’t want her getting heartbroken by Blake who i know is a player.
After school, i drove straight home.
I pulled into the parking lot and grabbed my backpack with me before leaving the car. I locked the car and then walked towards the house.
I pulled the door open to see Alex and some blonde making out on the couch.
“Ew”I said and walked past them to the kitchen. I grabbed a jug of water and went back to the living room.
I poured the water on them and Alex immediately got up from her, fixing his trouser.
“Are you crazy?”The blonde yelled as she got up alongside Alex, fixing her gown.
“You wanna know? you really wanna know?”I smirked.
“Alex who’s she?”She asked.
“Just ignore her, she’s no one”He said and took her upstairs with him.
I dropped my backpack on the couch and went into the kitchen to get something to dry off the wet couch.
After that, i went up to my room and took a quick shower. I changed into a grey hoodie and White pants, packing my hair in a messy ponytail, i left for the kitchen to make myself sandwiches.
Evening came in no time and i settled down at the couch with my eyes fixed on the Tv watching Nickelodeon.
Alex came down shirtless in only blue shorts and sat down across me. I pretended not to notice his presence and then fixed my eyes on the Tv.
“Liv”He called.
“What?”I asked.
“Can i ask you a question?”He asked.
“Um…. sure”I said, still not facing him.
His next words were something that I’d never expected.
“Do you have feelings for me?”He asked, making me jump back on the couch.
“Sorry…… what?”I asked.
“Do you have feelings for me?”He repeated.
“What do yoy mean by that? why would i have feelings for you?”I asked.
“Then why do you always seem to have a problem with me whenever i bring a girl home?”He asked.
“Because, this is my house and i hate seeing two horny teenagers making out in front of me”I said.
“Okay” was his only reply as he got up and left without another word.
That was weird.
