alex and liyah have been going out for 3 months now. every time she thinks about it, she gets a funny feeling in her stomach. she spent a month thinking about matt, then the next four thinking about alex, and alex only.
honestly, she thought school would be awkward since she has so many classes with matt, but she doesn't really speak to him that much anymore so there's nothing to feel awkward about.
she does feel sad that they don't talk as much as they used to, but he has made no effort to talk to her, so she didn't either.
ever since school started, which was two whole months ago, her and alex have been known as the 'perfect couple'. they don't go around making out in the middle of the hallway; they're just so comfortable and so real around each other it's something everyone desperately wants. something they need.
matt has not been taking this easily at all. he's been in a terrible mood more often than not. a smile constantly on his face only when they're filming car videos for their youtube channel, which was doing amazingly.
ani was out with cami, and nick was hanging out with chris. the only person in their friend group that was free to hang out with her was matt, and although matt would instantly agree to hanging out with her, liyah didn't want to. so, she called alex and told him to come over. he asked if she was planning on going somewhere, but she said no, and that she was just insanely bored.

"are you free?" alex asked.
she looked over at him. "i hope not?? been taking care of my body for so long, i don't want it to be free."
"no- i meant like.. to go out." he laughed.
"yeah, sure." she nodded. "where do you wanna go?" she got up and opened her closet, already searching for clothes.
"there's this really nice garden place." he shrugged, "if that's something you would like."
"fuck yeah." she nodded.
since they were going to a garden, she wanted to wear a dress. after 10 minutes of pure indecisiveness, she settled on a black dress with red polka dots.

the whole way there, they were listening to dominic fike and frank ocean, and they were having a blast.
