I smile to myself as i look at his last text, it says I LOVE YOU, I know it's nothing to get excited over considering  the thousands of times his said it to me in the past, but like Xander has been pretty clear about wanting to keep  our relationship  a secret until our one month anniversary and the only time we ever get to act like a couple is when we are alone and not that i'm complaining or anything but i can't wait for us to be like a normal couple and all. hand holding and actual dates i mean seriously what's the point of having a boyfriend when my roommate's the only one who knows about it.

"hey roomie" Jessie says, i was so busy thinking about Xander that i didn't even hear her come in "hey how was your meeting?" Jessie is the president of the press club at school and every friday they post some juicy piece of gossip in the girls bathroom, so she was attending a meeting to discuss their next article , "eh same old same old"    "what about you, you still thinking about Xander?"   "yeah i just can't wait for us to be a normal couple"  "why does he want you to keep it a secret anyway"  "i already told you, he said he wanted to give me enough time to decide whether i still want to date him or not"   "but you like him a lot so why would you wanna break up with him?"   "yeah i know but try telling him that"   "anyway for the most part i think its cute"  "yeah yeah so got any gist for me?"   i ask but she just sighs heavily    "well we were going to do a story on Liam"  "you mean Xander's brother?"  "yeah his like super cute and hot in a weirdly nerdy way"  "yeah so?"  "well you know how he's always in long sleeves?"  "yeah...?"  "well weee wanted to reveal the hot bod underneath those sleeves"    "yeah and how did that go?"    "horribly!" she says obviously frustrated  "yeah thought so, Liam's like a social introvert, he like talks to everyone but no one really knows him"  "yeah he's like tots misterious, but in a hot way"

"seriously you guys are gonna spend the whole day studying? i mean you're already smart what more could you want?" i say hoping they would finally want to do something fun   "we are smart because we study, that's kinda how it works" Bell says barely looking up from her book "yeah not everyone is like you" Liam says     "what do you mean?"    "oh come on dude we all know you don't even need to study to be smart" Liam says. "i study, just not all the time like you guys"

"hey yo!" Alice says, finally someone interesting "hey Alice" Liam says, oh so now he wants to talk "what up Alice" Bell says, ok i was literally begging these people to talk me just a few seconds ago  "you know the girls in the press club are planning on doing an article on dear William" Alice says,   "oh really what about him?" i ask, "oh yeah i heard about that i think it's something about  revealing the hot bod behind your long sleeves and hoodies" Bell adds "come to think of it, i don't think i've ever seen you without a shirt Liam" i say suddenly realising it,   "yes, cause that is totally something a normal STRAIGHT guy would say" Alice teases "oh haha you know what i meant" i say. "don't worry dude we all know who your true love is" Liam says, "oh yeah Tori" Alice says, "urgh seriously guys i told you, i don't like Tori" any more.    "yes and we totally believe you" Alice says "are you being sarcastic?" i ask "Whaa? Nhoooo" Liam says and they all laugh, oh yeah sure go no and laugh at me why don't yeah. "come on Xander it's nothing to be ashamed of, i mean we've all had crushes on our friends older siblings at some point" Bell says, "yeah when we were like 6"  Alice adds and they all laugh again, " whatever believe what you want to" i say hoping they would stop teasing.

"Alright, alright lets talk about another rumour going  around" Alice says, "oh yeah that rumour" Bell says and they both share a look, "what rumour?" Liam asks, clearly am not the only one lost here  "well word's been going around, that our dear Xander has a girlfriend" Alice says and puts her arm over my shoulder "so tell us Xander, is it true?" she says and i honestly don't know what to say, i mean its not like i wasn't gonna tell them, i just wanted to make sure it was for real, but now i guess i have no choice but to tell them "yeah, yeah i have a girlfriend" i say and Alice and Bell both squeel like normal teenage girls which is weird because they are not normal teenage girls, "so when are we gonna meet her?" Bell asks but before i could answer Alice says "why are you even asking him when he can call her up right now" and well that is when i lost control of the situation
