"Well you drive me crazy half the time. The other half I'm only trying." - Taylor Swift
I kept Alexandra in my arms the whole night. Her body was in my hands and she fell asleep soon enough. Juli and Callum are hugging each other on the other couch and Ryan's on the floor, blacked out from a sugar rush.
I woke up and her head was laying on my chest. I take my phone and take a picture of her to save. Fuck. She must be so tired. I don't want to wake her up but we have school.
I lay my left hand on her head and call out her name. "Allie. We have school. You have to get up."
She stirs in her sleep and her hand goes to her head. She sits up and her hair is a mess.
"Bed head?" I say.
"Shut up." She mumbles.
I sit up and remove my hand from her waist. I hang my feet off the couch before getting up. I go to wake up Juli and Ryan but Alexandra stops me.
"Wait. I have a better idea." She smirks.
—————
I tickle their faces with a feather and BAM! Whip cream is smeared all over their faces.
Ryan screams and chases Alexandra around the house. Callum insists on fighting me and Juli insists on murdering me.
How I love them.
Ryan comes crashing in with Alexandra over his shoulder and he slams her into the couch.
"STOP PLEASE. MERCY." She yells. "Ow." I move over to see her on the couch for safety reasons of course.
She's smiling and not hurt.

We walk into first period like normal. Except this morning we were in such a rush to get to school that we didn't have breakfast. I turn to my seat but Alexandra sits behind me. Because of Sophie.
I never really liked Sophie. We weren't even supposed to meet if it weren't for Callum. I was planning on blocking her but, since she told me she would be attending this school it was impossible for her to not ask questions.
Unfortunately I have to be at least a little kind to her. Her mom knows my mom and their not exactly partners in business but their not complete rivals. They just love to one up each other all of the time.
So considering my circumstances I can't slip up too much. Yet again she gets on my nerves. She gets on everyone's nerves. Especially when she pushed Alexandra into that wall.
I just couldn't let her fight Sophie. She would've gotten in trouble and gotten kicked off the team. It wouldn't be fair to her.
"I'm begging you, please sit next to me. I don't know if I can take her for any longer." I say to Alexandra.
