This whole situation was awkward.

Nina was prying into me and Parker's so-called 'relationship' and it was becoming awkward because we didn't know how to answer.

Soon the waiter came and she stopped with her questions and just had a regular conversation with us. And Parker was definitely making an impression on her. She did her annoying ass giggle that she does when she was talking to someone attractive.

"So Parker, how old are you?" She asked flirtatiously, while we were eating. 

I almost choked on my food. I covered it with a cough.

Oh. My. God.

Parker became fidgety and looked at me with an uncomfortable look.

"Too young for you Nina," I said rudely. 

"I think we should get going, don't you?" Nina glared at me and ignored my comment.

"I'm 19," Parker answered, looking more at the food than Nina.

My sister gave him a questioning look. "So how are you in 12th grade? Aren't you supposed to be starting college? The school year just started a couple weeks ago and you're already 19."

"I was held back in 7th grade" Parker answered quickly.

I was glad when the waiter came back with the check, as soon as my sister pulled out her wallet Parker offered to pay and he did. 

And she started her stupid giggling again and started blushing.

Oh. My. God.

After a long car ride, we finally arrived at my house. Parker forgot his stuff in my room so I had quietly sneak him up to my room, being careful not to alarm my parents.

Once I closed the door, I was spun around to face him. We were so close to each other our noses were touching. 

"How about we study at my place next time?" I pushed him away. 

"Sure, but you're going to have to drive me home" I informed him.

He nodded and we began walking to the front door. Once we got outside he pulled me in and gave me a kiss. He pulled away quickly so I didn't have time to respond, he winked at me then hopped into his car and left.

I was walking into my room when I heard my name being called from the kitchen. I walked in and my parents and my sister were all standing there waiting for me.

"Hi guys," I said questioningly. 

They stayed quiet.

"What's up?" I asked.

They looked very suspicious.

My mom and dad looked at each other then at me.

"Who is that boy you were just with?" My mom asked. 

"His name is Parker, Parker Hood," I answered.

"Well we want to meet him," my dad said. I immediately shook my head no.

"Well, you guys were just kissing outside," my mom added. 

I did not think they saw that. 

"You guys aren't going to meet him because he isn't my boyfriend or anything. I just have to tutor him for school," I had a bit of a tone in my voice.

 I love my parents with all my heart but at the moment they are really annoying me right now. 

"He's actually a really nice guy," My sister added. 

"If you don't want him, I'll have him." I just rolled my eyes at her and flipped her off under the table so my parents wouldn't see.

"Parker and I don't have a relationship, you guys don't know who he really is or how he acts, you guys need to just stay out of this. Please." They simply nodded and started walking to their rooms.

They really need to stay out of it. 

I'm just tutoring him, nothing more.

I think.

"Alex, I don't get this at all." Parker pushed the textbook away from in front of him and placed his head on the table and slamming his forehead repeatedly.

"Parker you aren't listening to me, you are getting super distracted." I scooted closer to him and placed the textbook in between us.

"Listen, after World War II there was a state of hostility between th- Parker are you even listening?"

"I'm distracted by your lips, can we just make out behind the bookshelf so the librarian doesn't kick us out like last time?" He whined.

"No Parker," I giggled as he peppered me with kisses on the cheek.

"I'm trying to make you smart, I need you to focus." I lightly pushed him away, even though I really didn't want to and pushed the textbook in front of him.

"Can't we take a break?" He pouted his bottom lip.

Why is he so cute?

"Parker, it's only been ten minutes."

"Can I at least have one kiss?" He winked.

My parents finally let me off the hook because of the party a couple weeks ago. 

Nina and I haven't spoken since the night we went to dinner with Parker a couple weeks ago. I'm still really annoyed that she flirted with Parker even though she caught us kissing. It's kind of obvious that he doesn't want her. We've had a couple more tutoring sessions since then but they have been in the library behind bookshelves so no one would catch him actually trying to improve his grade and ruin his 'reputation'.

Ashley is going to pick me up to go to school, my parents were just asking about the tutoring sessions and I tried my best to ignore them but they are my parents and I don't want to disrespect them.

Ashley finally arrived at my house, I quickly gave my parents a kiss on the cheek and gave Nina a hug even though I'm mad at her, and I left.

I watched the rain slide down the window of Ashley's car, and the only noise we could hear was the cars splashing through the puddles of water.

"How are the 'tutoring' sessions with Parker going?" She smirked.

"They are going just fine, he is getting smarter by the minute." She looked at me knowing I was skipping a lot of detail.

"Okay, okay they are going great. He and I are really getting to know each other and he's been really sweet and he kissed me and it was pretty magical. I'm starting to like him but I don't know his feelings for me. He does relationship like things but acts like I don't exist at school. "

"OMG! He totally likes you! But he's being an ass." Ashley squealed. All I could do was laugh and blush at the thought of him but also super frustrated with our 'relationship'.

The day was going great and it was finally lunch time. I got out of line and sat down. My eyes were wandering around; more like looking for Parker. 

"Have you guys seen Parker?" I asked my friends. 

They all shook their heads, then I found him and my smile faded...

He was kissing another girl.

Hey guys! I hoped you enjoyed this weeks update. So I've decided to only write in Alex's POV and I'm beginning to write longer chapters.

Love you guys:)
