“Wake the fuck up, fuckheads!”
I shielded my face with my hand from the sudden light that flooded into the room and moaned in displeasure. I wasn’t ready to face the world yet.
“No,” I muttered.
“Stella Lucille, I swear to the good Lord above, if you did anything in my bed, I will make sure you never have children.”
“Maybe if we pretend to still be asleep, they’ll go away,” Alex mumbled to me. I nodded my head against his chest and began drifting off to sleep once again. The covers were abruptly ripped from my grasp and my body was freezing. The bed shifted under someone’s weight and suddenly Jack and Amanda were laying on top of Alex and me. “Get ooooff,” Alex whined like a toddler, pushing Jack out of his face. My eyes shot open and I glared at Amanda, who sent a toothy smile in my direction.
“What time is it?” I finally asked.
“It’s almost two in the afternoon,” Jack shrugged. My stomach growled and all eyes turned to me. “Hungry much?” He laughed and I pouted at the group in front of me.
“Is there any pizza left?” I asked through a yawn that had escaped. Amanda shook her head no.
“We ate it all this morning.”
I frowned and stood up, rummaging through Amanda’s drawer where I kept some of my clothes and pulled out a pair of black Nike shorts, a white v-neck, and stole one of her black sports bras. I excused myself and shuffled into Amanda’s bathroom to change out of my clothes from last night. I stopped for a moment and stared at my reflection, noticing how puffy my lips were.
Alex.
I kissed Alex. Wait, no. I aggressively made-out with Alex. I smiled at the memory and turned away from the mirror to change into my clothes. I used one of Amanda’s makeup remover pads to wipe the goop from last night off of my face and splashed cold water on my face to wake me up. I grabbed one of her black head bands and slid it on my head after tying my hair into a high ponytail. Comfy at last. I walked back into Amanda’s room to find everyone sitting in a circle on her bed, playing some card game.
“Food,” I whined.
Alex chuckled at me while Amanda nodded in agreement, rubbing her stomach.
“IHOP sounds so good, dude,” Jack speaks up. I widened my eyes and point at him excitedly.
“Yes! Let’s go to IHOP!” I shout loudly.
“Says the one without a car,” Amanda said smugly. I pout at her and give her the best puppy-dog look I could possibly conjure up.
“Pwetty pwease dwive me to the IHOPs,” I beg her with wide eyes. Everyone laughed at me and Amanda eventually agreed to drive everyone to IHOP.
“I call shotgun!” Jack screamed, flying down the stairs.
“Ew, that means I have to sit next to you.” I scrunch my nose up at Alex and he laughs and pushes my shoulder. “Don’t touch me, shithead.”
“I do what I want, bitch,” he fired back at me. A series of ‘Ooooh’s came from Jack and Amanda. I jokingly narrowed my eyes at Alex and push him back. “You asked for it.” Alex came running at me with both of his arms extended. My eyes widen and I frantically run around Amanda’s front yard, trying to get away from Alex. Jack’s long legs eventually caught up to me and he captured me in his arms, where I flail around dramatically, trying to escape as he calls out to Alex that I’ve been captured.
“Say you’re sorry!” Alex yelled as he runs up to Jack and me. I vigorously shake my head at him as he got closer to me. “Say it!”
“You’re stupid,” I shot back at him. Jack tightened his grip on my struggling figure and Alex stops a mere centimeter away from my face. My breath hitched in my throat as I stared into his eyes.
“Say it,” he said right above a whisper.
“I’m sorry,” I say in the same tone. Alex backed away with a satisfied smirk and Jack released me. “Sorry you’re ugly!” I shout and break into a full sprint towards Amanda’s car. “Unlock it!” I screamed at her as Alex closed in on me. The door chirped, letting me know it had been unlocked, and I scurry into the back seat, quickly locking the door behind me. I laughed obnoxiously at Alex’s defeated face as he pouts at me through the window.
“Alright, children. Let’s go. I’m fucking starving,” Amanda laughed as she unlocked the car and climbed into the driver’s side. Jack hopped in the passenger seat and a sulking Alex got into the seat next to me in the back. He childishly crossed his arms across his chest and pouted at me like a toddler.
“You’re mean,” he grumbled at me. “You hurt my feelings.”
“Awh, I’m sorry, Lexy.” I jut my upper lip out at him and tilt my head to the side.
“No you are not.”
“I am, too.”
“Are not.”
“Am, too.”
“Prove it.”
I leaned over and gave Alex a brief kiss on the cheek and he gasped.
“You missed,” he says. I arch my eyebrow at him, confused. “You missed,” he repeated. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips and a smile immediately formed on my lips.
“Stella Lucille Underwood. Did you just kiss a boy?” Amanda gasps from the front. I laugh and sit back in my seat, happily nodding my head. “Your daddy gonna kill you, girl.”
“My daddy ain’t gonna find out,” I shot back at her with a smug smirk. Alex reached over and intertwined our fingers together and rested them on my thigh, looking at me with a content smile. I flashed him a sweet smile in return and gaze out the window, watching other cars zooming past us as we drove to IHOP.

Monday arrived a lot sooner than I had anticipated it to that week, and it took all of my energy to get myself out of bed and ready for school that dreadful morning. As I sat in front of the full length mirror in my bedroom and did my makeup for the day, I couldn’t help but let my mind wander to the events that took place over the weekend; memories of the concert and dancing like an idiot with Amanda, hanging out with the guys after the show, staying up late and having that deep conversation with Alex, kissing Alex, kissing Alex again… And then kissing Alex more when he took me back home after IHOP… My stomach tied itself into knots at the thought of the boy, butterflies soaring through my veins, filling me with happiness. I smiled widely at my reflection as I focused intently on perfectly winging my eyeliner. That kid had me feeling some sort of way…
“I’m ready,” I yelled, knocking on Parker’s bedroom door as I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs to wait for my brother.
“You look cute today.”
I glanced at the person sitting at the kitchen table and was shocked to see my sister sipping on a cup of coffee, still in her pajamas.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, not bothering to hide the shock in my tone. She arched an eyebrow at me.
“I live here?” She shot back at me, setting her mug on the table in front of her.
“Are you sure about that?” I question her, annoyed at the fact that she has this attitude towards me and I haven’t seen her in God knows how long.
Rory let’s out a scoff and rolled her eyes me. “Just because I’m not here every night like the warden would like me to be, doesn’t mean I’m not apart of this family, Stella.”
“Then I’m sure you’d be more than happy to do my share of chores today since I’ve been doing your’s for the last month.” I smirk at her with a glimmer in my eye, grab an apple, and leave her gaping at me, her mouth opening and closing like a fish, as I follow Parker out the front door.
“Don’t let her get to you,” Parker says to me as he pulls out of the driveway. I roll my eyes and take an angry bite out of my apple.
“It just irritates me that she acts like she can do whatever she wants. She comes and goes as she pleases, leaving you and me to do her dirty work. It’s so annoying,” I vent through a full mouth of apple. “I do not like her.”
“I don’t understand how she thinks she can still use Tom as a crutch. It’s been, like, two years. You don’t see the Gaskarths acting like their worlds are totally torn apart,” Parker sighs. “We won’t have to deal with her long. I’m sure she won’t even be home by the time we’re out of school.”
Parker pulled into a parking space and killed the engine as I grab my backpack from the floor board and get out of the car.
“Have a good day,” my brother says to me, pulling me into a side hug before walking off to find his group of buddies. I made my way to my locker, Green Day playing through my headphones to help keep my anger at bay. My sister and I stopped getting along whenever she decided that she was too good for anyone in our family and started treating us all like complete trash. It pissed her off that I refused to take her shit, so she made me her number one enemy. That’s when Parker and I got really close.
I opened my locker and shuffled through my textbooks to find the right ones I needed for my first few periods, deep in my thoughts. A girly shriek escaped through my lips when a pair of hands squeezed me around the waist. I spun around, ready to knock the lights out of whoever dared to sneak up on me, and I was face to face with Alex. A sigh of relief was released when I realized that it was just him.
“You asshole,” I laughed at him, slapping him on the chest. “Don’t scare me like that! I about died!”
“Good morning to you, too, Stella Lucille,” Alex smiled down at me. I smiled widely at him. “You look adorable as ever today.” He reached behind me and pulled the hoodie of my flannel over my head, covering my eyes so I couldn’t see.
“Aleeeex,” I whined, moving my head around, trying to free myself from the darkness of the hood. Alex finally released his hold on my hood and leaned down to kiss me. I took a hesitant step back, giving him a worried look.
“What’s wrong?” His eyebrows scrunched up with confusion and I couldn’t help but think about how cute he looked when he was confused.
“Are you sure you want to be seen kissing me?” I ask him quietly, glancing down at my Doc Martin covered feet. Alex grabbed the sides of my face gently and pulled me up to his face, planting a sweet kiss on my lips, knocking the breath right from my lungs. When he pulled away, he kept his hands on my cheeks, cupping them as he peered into my eyes with a cute smile.
“Answer any of your questions?” Alex smirked down at me as I nodded my head with a goofy grin.
“All of them.”
The bell echoed throughout the hallway, signalling that we had five minutes to get to our first periods. I turned away from Alex for a brief moment to shut my locker, half expecting him to be gone when I turned around. But he was still standing there, smiling at me, when I turned back around to head to my first period.
“My lady,” he said, offering me his arm.
“What are you doing, Lex?” I giggled at him, latching my arm on to his.
“What kind of person would I be if I didn’t walk my friend to class?”
Friend.
The word echoed and bounced off the walls of my brain, making my stomach churn. That’s all I was to him - a friend. I felt my smile falter a bit, but managed to force it to stay put.
I’m really stupid for ever thinking that Alex and I could be anything more than friends. Yes, we kissed. And I’m assuming we’ll kiss a lot more. But nothing more will ever come from this relationship. The thought of not being as important to Alex as I wanted to be made me nauseous. What the fuck is wrong with me? Two weeks ago, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with this guy, and now here I am, wanting so much more than just a friendship… Fuck.

Notes

Boring filler. I know. Next chapter makes up for the amount of lameness in this one. I promise.

I don't remember anything. I need to restart this. Damn, all I remember is loving this. Only more reason to read it all again.

Haha, keepin' it real. :) No worries, the only one that was kind of concerning was the Blink-180 because I think that's the first time I've ever seen that. XD But I figured it was a typo.
