"Hey." I said, pulling Alex over near a locker.
"This is going to sound ridiculous, but has a walk in your bedroom been disappearing?"
"Ummmm, no..." he replied, voice wavering.
I sighed. "Nevermind."
"Yeahhhhhhhh..." he said, edging away until he ran to catch up with his friends laughing.

I was desperately trying to shove a binder into the bottom of my locker when something tapped me in the shoulder. I spun around, to see Alex standing there. The look in his eyes said, 'What on earth is going on'
