The Neighbor

Brookey

I sit in shock as Alex extends his hand to me, holding a necklace that reads " Brookey" across the beautiful silver chain. The letters, in their shimmering gold appearance, shocked me. I smiled and took the necklace.

" Alex, this is so beautiful and sweet" I gush.

He chuckles, " Well, I want you to know that I don't want to 'play' with you, I want to love you." He smiled like he hadn't just made my heart beat at a million miles per minute. I couldn't resist, I reached out and jumped on him. He laughed as he wrapped his strong arms around me.

" Wait, why do you all of the sudden just, love me" I ask suspiciously.

" I've loved you since the minute I layed eyes on you" He admits nervously.

" Alex, your the sweetest, kindest, most amazing guy there is" I continue my rant.

" So, will you be my girlfriend" He asks.

" Wait, what will people think of me if I'm with you" I ask nervously, " I mean, your a former playboy! They will think I finally gave in and decided to let you, well you know."

" True, but I love YOU and YOUR the only person I want to be with" He exclaims.

" I believe you, but other people won't" I assure.

" Okay, how about you and I date in secret" He suggests.

" Okay, we could act all hate like towards each other in school" I agree.

" Yeah, how though" He asks, " I don't know how to hate a person that I love."

" Aww, Alex! Ooh, I know how" I quickly reach for my computer. I type GOOGLE into the address bar. Then I put Fine Fine, Sonny With A Chance. I click on the first video and show Alex.

" See watch" I instruct.

" Fine"

" Fine"

" Good"

" Good"

" Fine"

" Fine" The two characters, Sonny and Chad, battle for the last word saying fine and good.

" We can do that" Alex says.

" No shit, Sherlock" I laugh.

" Okay, good plan" He says, " So your my secret girlfriend?"

" Yes" I agree.

I arrive at school with Destinee at my side. I told my mom about me and Alex, and how we have to date in secret. She was so happy and she couldn't wait to tell Jordan because apparently he was rooting for the two of us.

I see Alex out of the corner of my eye and smile. He notices and winks at me, turn a crimson red and duck my head down.

" Who's making you blush" Destinee asks suspiciously.

" No one" I manage.

" Uh huh, come on we have to get to class" She says, dropping the topic. Thank the freaking Lord! We head over to our lockers, which are located side by side. I open mine as I see Alex come my way.

" Hey" He flirts.

" Ugh, get out of here" I lie.

" Maybe I will" He growls.

" Maybe you should" I snap.

" Fine"

" Fine"
