Alex wasn't exactly paying attention in class

Alex wasn't exactly paying attention in class. All she knows is that Chang talked a lot, Jeff fell asleep, then it was time to leave. She grabbed her bag and left the classroom. She had her way to her van because she was meeting Sam, Moon, and Yasmine for coffee. After that she'd get lunch with Tory and Robby. Then she'd go back to the school for study group. After the study group, she'd be going to a couple classes before dinner with Eli and Demetri.

After a 15-ish minute drive, Alex got to a coffee shop. She was a little nervous because she wasn't the closest to them when they were younger. They're not her favorite people and she's not theirs. They started to get along better as they got older.

Alex got to know Moon pretty well while Moon dated her brother. She hung out with Yamine a couple of times with Demetri while they dated. She and Sam spent some time together at the dojo, once in the same dojo, being the only two girls for the longest time.

Alex got out of her viechol and walked in. She glanced around and saw the three girls already there. She walked over and they all greeted each other as she sat down. She saw Moon and Yasmine holding hands. She smiled a little remembering the two started dating after their relationships with Eli and Demetri ended.

They all chatted for a while as they sipped on their coffees. Eventually, they had their own things they had to get to. Alex left. She still had like 40 minutes before she was to meet with Tory and Robby for lunch. She decided to make a stop really quick. She stopped at a little trinket shop.

Alex sat at a table across from Tory and Robby. Other than Eli and Demetri, these two were her best friends. Closely followed by Miguel. She actually dated the two at different times back in high school. Now Tory and Robby were dating. They actually started dating not long after Alex and Tory split. The relationships didn't end badly so they were still friends, obviously.

Both of the relationships were kinda secret. Alex and Tory's relationship was a secret because Tory was figuring out her sexuality. She started dating Robby before anyone else knew him. They had met at tech town and spent time together and eventually started dating a little bit after Miguel started at West Valley High. People know that Alex was dating someone, but didn't know that it was Robby, seeing as no one knew him.

The three joked around as they had lunch. They hadn't hung out like this much lately since they were busy. Tory was in med school, Alex was obviously also in college and working a couple minimum paying jobs, and Robby was getting more involved at the dojo.

They had a great time at lunch, and are definitely going to hangout again soon. They always have a great time. They had a couple ideas of what they might do, but they'd have to talk about it over text.

Alex got back to the school, went to the library, into the study room, and sat in her usual seat. She was one of the last ones there, but that wasn't exactly uncommon. Usually she was either one of the first or one of the last there.
