"I said leave her alone" The voice repeated . Alex.
" Says who?" The man asks.
" Says me." Alex says and proceeds to punch the guy in the face.
"Oh it is so on" The guy says and punches Alex in the face.
Suddenly the there is a huge fight scene between Alex and the guy. I want to go stop it, but I'm too star struck with all the events that happened today, so I stood helplessly watching the two guys.
All of a sudden Logan comes out of the crowd and breaks the two apart.
"What is going on here?" he says, sounding a lot like a teacher. Neither one of the boys replies. They just stand there refusing to look at the other.
⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
"What's your number?" The girl asked me, after we stopped kissing. There was no way I was going to give a random girl my number, so I did the things most guys my age would do.
"What's your number?" I asked.
"Oh, well its 789-065-1346." She spoke. As I pretended to write the numbers into my phone.
"And you name?" I asked.
"Lilliana." She replied.
"Cool, nice meet —" Suddenly there was a bang. Looks like a fight was starting.
"Wait I didn't catch your name." Lilliana says as I begin to walk away.
"Logan" I reply.
I tried getting closer to the fighting, but it seems like people have already gathered in that area. Suddenly I see a blue hoodie. Alex. What's Alex doing in a fight?
"Alex, Alex. I say trying to catch his attention, but nothing is working
"Excuse me." I say as I push people trying to get a better view of the fight.
Finally, I get to where they are fighting. It seems as if Alex is fighting against a boy about our age wearing a black T-shirt and black cargo pants.
"What is going on here?" I ask sounding too much like a teacher for my liking. Neither one of the boys are replying.
"Ok let's just sit down, and we can talk about it." I say. Suddenly I notice an. What's Anne doing here? Isn't she Olivia's best friend? Does this mean Olivia's here too? This is not a time to think about Olivia, Logan I snap at myself. I have been thinking about her a lot recently, probably just because of her little show she put on at Mr. Ronald's speech.
"I don't need to talk about it." The boy snaps and walks away.
"It's fine, Logan, really." Alex says.
"Alex!" Anne ran up to him and give him a big hug. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bruised ego, that's all." He replies. "Do you want to go outside and have some fresh air? He asks clearly wanting to get out of this environment.
"Yeah, that would be great." She replies and hand in hand they walk out of the door. I just stand there still star struck with what just happened.
Wait. Was Anne the girl that Alex invited to the party? I am so confused. Guess I'll ask him about it tomorrow, I conclude. I assume that Alex would want some time with Anne alone, so It's better I don't interrupt them.
I take a long, deep breath and go back to the dance floor. The night's not over yet, and I'm planning to have as much fun as I possibly can today.
⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
The moment I steeped outside the cold air hit against my cheek, even though it was freezing, it made me feel good. After all I had several bruises on my face, and I'm pretty sure my lip is bleeding. I had never been in a such an intense fight before, I kind of feel good.
"Are you ok?" Anne asks and puts her hand on my shoulder. Even though everything hurts, her voice is enough to make me feel 100 times better.
"I've been better." I honestly answer.
"I'm sorry, if only I had pushed him off." Anne replies, sighing. Did she really think it was her fault? I love that girl.
"Of course, it wasn't your fault." I take a deep breath. "Anne, ever since I got to know you, I have felt different towards you. I always thought you were really beautiful. Ever since we sat next to each other in English I have felt something, the way you make me laugh, the way you always see the bright side of any situation it made me like you even more."
"Alex —" She starts, but I cut her off.
"Look Anne, What I'm trying to say is you make me feel like I'm worth something. Even if I was having a rough day, your smile was enough to make my day feel brighter. Anne Turner, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask holding my breath. What if she said no? Will this ruin our friendship?
Suddenly I feel a pair on soft lips against mine. It takes me a moment to realize that she is kissing me. I start kissing her back, it feels even better than any kiss I have ever had before.
After a couple of seconds, we break apart and look at each other. Blue eyes meet green.
"I would love to be your girlfriend." Anne says.

RING RING RING
My phone.
11 PM. WHAT?! I guess I overslept. I had begun to start my math homework after I had showered, but I guess I was so exhausted that I just feel asleep on my table.
Anne. Why is Anne calling me, I thought she said I was a nerd. Nevertheless, I still picked up my phone.
"Hey, Liv I just wanted to say I am so sorry for calling you a nerd, I was just so mad. I know that isn't an excuse for what I said but I hope you decide to forgive me someday." She says. Even though I was very upset after what she said, Anne was still my best friend, so I had to forgive her.
"Anne, you have always been the drama queen, of course I forgive you. And I'm sorry for not coming to the party with you. How'd it go?"
"Awesome actually, Alex actually asked me to be his girlfriend. Isn't it just great?" She says.
"Yeah, that's great." I say, but suddenly I realize something. "Wait Alex as in Logan's best friend?" Logan was my bully for three years, and now my rival for five years. Anne knew how much I hated him, but she still dated his best friend? I tried to stay calm, but it hurts me so bad. Maybe Alex isn't as bad as Logan, I convince myself.
"Yeah, there isn't a problem with that right?" She asks me.
"Yeah, no problem." I say. Alex isn't as bad as Logan, I remind myself.
"Ok, see you at school, byee." She says and hangs up the phone.
It's been a rough day.

"Hey, Logan." I say when on the phone.
"Hey, Alex, how is everything?" He asks. I can't lie to my best friend, so I tell him everything.
"Wow, that's quite the story, you're alright now, right?" He asks.
"Yes, I'm more than alright." I sigh. "I think I'm in love."
