If We Climb This High, I Swear We'll Never Die.

Alex and I had different classes the next day. I wished we didn't though. Since we started dating, all I wanted to do was spend time with him. He wasn't lonely anymore. We weren't lonely anymore.

"Of course I'll go with you." Josie twirled a hair around her finger, smirking. It wasn't much of a surprise when I saw Dan ask her to the ball. After all, Amy did say that Dan liked her.

"Good. Wear something sexy." Dan winked. I shuddered as I watched him. What a creep.
As I looked across the room, I saw Amy walking over to me. She smiled a little as she sat in the seat next to mine. That was strange. She didn't usually talk to me.

"Hey Jack." She ran a hand through her bubblegum pink hair, pushing it out of her face.

"Oh, uh... Hey Amy." I nodded to acknowledge her.

"So... Enjoy eavesdropping on mine and Josie's conversation?" She smirked.

"Wait... What?" I narrowed my eyes. How did Amy know I was listening to them? I couldn't be seen. Was that why she was trying to get Josie off my back? Telling her I was going to the dance with a girl I didn't even know existed?

"Yeah, I saw your dumbass hair around the corner and knew you were listening in." Amy chuckled softly. "Anyway, don't worry about it. I got Josie interested in someone else."

"How do you know that I don't like Josie?"

"Wow, you never stop asking questions, do you?" She grinned cheekily. "I have my sources."
I'd never have expected Amy to help me out. The thing with her was that she was popular, and well... I'm not. Everyone seemed to liked her. And she seemed to like everyone. But maybe that wasn't the case with Josie, although they were meant to be best friends.

"So she's interested in Dan?"

Amy snorted. "Yeah, she's interested in him. I payed him to ask her to the dance."

"You... You what?!" I couldn't believe it. For a moment, I expected Amy to laugh and tell me it was a joke, but I knew that wouldn't happen. She had actually payed a guy to ask Josie to the dance. Oh well. At least he was hot. I shook the last thought to the back of my mind. You have Alex, you idiot. Dan isn't even that good looking.

"I had to, okay? Otherwise she wouldn't piss off! You'd have to put up with her forever." Amy chuckled softly as she walked away. Wow. Not the sort of thing I'd expect from her.

Back at the room, Alex was waiting for me on my bed. He was cross-legged and hugging my pillow.
"Alex?" I asked, closing the door quietly. Quickly, he threw the pillow back to where I had left it. He blushed a deep red colour, but was obviously trying to hide it.

"Hey Jack." He smiled, his answer casual as if he wasn't doing anything... I would say 'wrong', but there was nothing wrong about hugging my pillow.

"Enjoying my pillow?" I raised an eyebrow as I sat down next to him.

"It smells nice." He shrugged.

"Alex, it smells of sweat and hair product."

"Let me correct myself. It smells like you." He smirked cheekily and leaned over to kiss my cheek.

"You're mean." I pouted, pretending to looking upset. Alex pulled me into his arms.

"Sorry. Will you ever forgive me?" He pressed his lips to my forehead lightly.

"I'll think about it. After all, I want a date to a dance." I winked at him. Alex rolled his eyes. I had never seen this side of Alex, but I liked it. He was so happy, so carefree... I just wished that he could be the same around other people. Maybe one day, he would be.
