The rest of the School day flies by in a blur. Alex is in the last period of the day with me, which is history. Jack and Zack are also in there, but Alex makes sure to save me a seat next to him. I tune the teacher out, because he's just going over class rules, and policies blah blah. I take the time to think about things. I only met Alex this morning and I have a huge crush on him. Not only a crush but I think I could be in love. Ugh! I mentally smack myself. I feel like a total cliche with the whole "love at first sight" thing, but could it be real? At that moment I glance over and find that Alex is looking at me. I glance behind myself to make sure he's not looking at Zack or somebody else and when I turn back around Alex winks at me. I blush bright red and shift my hair so my face is partially obscured. The bell rings and you can hear the sigh of relief from all of the students and even the teacher. The end of the school day was always my favorite part of the school day. The boys hang around my desk as I'm packing up. "I'm gonna drive you home to drop your things off and then we can head to Jack's place for practice. Is that okay?" Alex asks keys in hand as we're walking to the parking lot. My heart picks up for some reason. "yeah, that's fine." I say. I direct Alex to my house and he pulls in the driveway. It's Monday so my parents are both at work for a few hours. I glance over at Alex, "I'm gonna be a few minutes so you can come in if you want." he shrugs and turns the car off. "okay," he says giving me a goofy smile. "Don't be getting any ideas now, I just want to change and grab some things." I warn him laughing. We walk up to the door and I unlock it letting Alex step inside first. He takes in the living room and walks straight to the kitchen. "can I get something to drink?" he asks. "Yeah sure what do you want?" I ask. "Pepsi's fine," he says. I open the fridge and bend to grab one out of the bottom drawers. When I straighten I feel hands on my waist. I spin around, Alex's face inches from mine. Blood is pounding in my ears as I wrap my arms around his neck. He presses his lips lightly against mine at first, and then with more force. I can feel his tongue tracing my lower lip so i open my mouth and I can feel his tongue meet mine. We've been making out for a few minutes when I break off and shove the can in his hands. "thereyago" I mumble as I basically run to my room. He kissed me. I could feel the butterflies rioting in my stomach. I grin until I think my face might split in two then remember what I was doing. I peel off my jeans and put some shorts on, and pull my shirt over my head and throw it in the corner. I roll on some more deodorant and put a flowy tank on, feeling hot all of a sudden. I relace my converse and braid my hair back into a simple braid. I grab my lyric book, and my acoustic and go back to the living room to find Alex looking at my first grade picture with a small smile. I was dressed as a witch and had a huge smile on my face, missing a front tooth. I clear my throat and he turns around. I think he does a double take because his eyes get huge. To be fair this is a 180 from my earlier outfit. He notices the guitar in my hand. "you play?" he asks smiling. "a little," I say back smiling at him. He comes over and takes my hand. "are you ready?" I turn towards him and nod an affirmative. "okay then, let's go!" he says and gets in piggy back position. I laugh and hop on, awkwardly holding my guitar case and he carries me out of the house.
