Abby Watson was putting books in her locker when someone came up behind her. "Hey you," Alex Moriarty said, hugging her. "Hi," Abby said, turning her head to kiss him. "What's up, love bug?" Abby said, smiling.
"Whatcha doing tonight?" Alex asked, still holding onto her. He kissed her cheek.
"Uh, I dunno, Hamish was supposed to tutor me after school in Chemistry-"
"I'll help you," Alex said quickly.
Alex always got angry when Abby was around Hamish Holmes. Abby couldn't help it; they had known each other since they were born.
"Okay," Abby said smiling. Alex was always helping her with whatever she could need.
Alex and Abby were the type of couple who were always together. They walked hand in hand to their next class. As they walked, Abby saw Hamish. "Hamish," she said, getting his attention. He turned to look at her. "Mish, Alex said he'd tutor me tonight, okay?"
"Alright, that's fine," Hamish said. "I have to watch Amelia tonight while my parents are out. I guess I'll see you later then."
Abby barely said bye as Alex pulled her away.
Later
Whenever Alex came over to help Abby study, very little studying went on.
Alex was lying on top of Abby and kissing her. He played with her blonde hair and laced his fingers with hers. "I love you, Abs," he mumbled.
"I love you too," Abby said. "But I really need to study, Alex. Could we just-"
Alex grabbed her wrist so hard she winced. "Come on, Abby," Alex said. "We're taking a break. Just relax, we'll study when we're done."
Abby nodded. "Okay," she said weakly. Alex kissed her neck and Abby looked over at the untouched textbooks on the table.
