“So what’s going on with you and Alex? Sammy demanded as soon as I got back to the cafeteria.
“Nothing… What do you mean?”
“I heard you guys talking,” Sammy crossed her arms, “I demand a full explanation.”
“He just asked me about a friend in the past, that’s all.” I explained, “we were in the same class in grade 8.
“It was more than that.” Said Sammy, “who was that friend?”
“Just a random guy,” I’m starting to get annoyed by her.
“It couldn’t have been just a random guy.” Sammy stated.
“Why not?” I frowned.
“Because he cried.” She said as a matter of fact.
“Who?”
“Who else? Alex, duh.”
I laughed, Alex criend? “When?”
“Stop playing dumb,” said Sammy, starting to get annoyed as well. “Right when you guys are talking. I couldn’t make out what you were saying but his eyes got really read and then he put on his sunglasses.”
So that’s why he had sunglasses on! But why would he cry? I didn’t see it at all. But maybe it was because I was spacing out. But still, why would he cry? Alex is just a play boy so he couldn’t possibly love me right? Plus, guys don’t cry when their crush likes someone else. Or maybe he felt guilty. That must be it! After he heard whatI said about how good a person Liam was, he probably felt bad about making fun of him all this time! Yes, that must be it!
After that, Sammy kept pestering me about Liam. So in the end, I told her the best lie I could think of. Liam was Alex’s Best friend who had a crush on me but died in a car accident 3 years ago.
After school, I saw Alex with his Hyundai… again.
“I need some help with homework, can you come over?” His brown eyes gazed into mine.
I thought about it, “do you really need help?”
His face was serious, “yeah.”
“Fine.”
He smiled and opened the dooras I got in.
His. House. Is. Huge. It’s like a freaking mansion. I stood in the living room, shocked. I stared at the chandeliers and the marble tables and looked back at Alex.
Alex smirked when he sa the expression on my face. “Gotta go to the washroom.”
I nodded as he left. As I walked over to the glass table, I saw a brown book, PHOTO ALBUM. I wonder what Alex looked like when he was little. I flipped it open and gasped in shock.
