"So here's what you must do, you have an hour to complete it. Hurry up," Alex said angrily, we were in my house, I knew he didn't have to do anything, so he could be at mine for longer.

I tried to rack my brain for all the answers but I couldn't.

"Can you he-" I said.

"Do it yourself."

I slammed the paper down and Alex gave me a confused yet numb look.

"I'm not doing it."

"Why."

"Because I need to talk to you first."

"What makes you feel like I want to talk to you?" he angrily snapped.

"Nothing but hear me out. I want to be friends with you. What I said the other day was all lies. It was just because everyone was there and I was just- stressed. I want to be popular but I want to be friends with you more."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you seem cool."

"I mean you seem cool too." he said, making it almost sound like a question.

His face started to go red and we sat in silence for a bit.

Now can you answer my question? What is the damn answer to number 2?"

He laughed before putting on a fake deep voice and going, "Do it yourself."

We were laughing and talking until my dad came in, we had one question left, "Do you like spag bol?"

"Yes sir," Alex answered.

"Alex, you don't have to call him sir, we aren't in the military."

My dad left as we began to laugh again.

I actually love him.
