Chapter 5 - Caitlyn

| February 1st  | Wednesday |

I'm currently in my last class, which is math. It's pretty boring and I'm kind of not listening at all. Somehow all I can think about are those past few weeks with Alexandra. And about that time I was first at her place and she helped me making the cup for Gina. The way she was sitting behind me when we were making the cup for Gina, how her hands were on top of mine. How her family is so sweet and funny. And the fact that she drove me home. I'd never imagined her to be so..cute. I just can't get her out of my head! I think I have a crush on her and this is not good..

"What are you thinking about?" I suddenly hear Gina ask, which brings me out of my thoughts. "Uh..nothing." I answer slowly, trying not to turn red. Why can't I stop thinking about her?
"So..how's it going with Alexandra and the project?" She asks curiously, wiggling her eyebrows at me with a grin. "Uhm..it's going fine, I guess? I think we're going to finish it pretty fast at our pace." I answer casually, trying not to let what I just thought affect me. "So..had any romantic moments?" Her question makes me roll my eyes. I mean..our hands did touch a few times on accident and that whole helping me do the cup was kind of romantic. But I don't like her and neither does she. "No, we didn't. Can you stop shipping us!" I groan annoyed but she just chuckles while shaking her head.

"Gina, Caitlyn, more quiet please." Mr. White tells us and we nod embarrassedly. "I just think you two would look good together." Gina whispers to me and I hit her arm at that. Gina is definitely reading too much into this. There's nothing going on between Alexandra and me and there won't be.

School is finally over and I'm on my way to the parking lot. Alexandra said she's going to pick me up and then we can go to her place to work on our project. "So..she's picking you up, huh?" Isobel comments with a smirk as we make our way towards the parking lot. I roll my eyes. "You two need to stop!" I groan annoyed but they just laugh at me.

My jaw drops when I find Alexandra standing next to a motorcycle. She's has a helmet in one hand and in the other her phone. When she hears us approach she looks up from her phone. "Hey, ready to go?" Alexandra says while putting her phone away and then grabbing another helmet. "You want to drive me to your place on this?" I ask shocked and she just nods with a sheepish grin. "Yeah, scared?" She asks almost in a teasing way. I scoff. "You wish." I answer as I grab the other helmet from her. Why hasn't she driven me home on her bike before? "Well..we'll leave you two alone." Gina says with a smirk and then leaves with Isobel. I glare after them but they just give me a sly smirk.

"So..ready to go?" Alexandra asks while putting her helmet on and then getting on her bike. I gulp but try not to show that I'm kind of scared. So I put on the helmet as well. To my surprise Alexandra holds out her hand for me to take. "Want my help to get on?" She asks and I can basically hear her grin. I roll my eyes and then take her hand. That touch somehow makes my heart skip a beat. She helps me onto her bike and I immediately wrap my arms around her waist tightly. Alexandra chuckles at that. "Don't worry, you're all safe." She reassures me and pats my hand at that. That makes my heart skip a beat again. Jeez, get a grip!

Alexandra starts to drive and it's pretty cool so far. But I'm still a little scared. My grip loosened a bit on Alexandra but my arms are still around her waist, holding onto her. To my surprise her left hand has been resting on top of mine the whole ride. The only time she pulls away is to shift gears but as soon as she's done her hand goes back onto mine. I believe it's her way of making sure I'm not scared. And I think it's really sweet.

"Hey, you wanna go grab some food on the way?" Alexandra asks as she stops at a red light. I'm a little caught off guard that I can hear her so well. "Oh, yeah, I have a microphone in there." She adds while patting my helmet, making me chuckle. "What food are you thinking of?" I ask curiously, placing my chin on her shoulder. My head feels so heavy with that helmet on. "You okay?" Alex asks softly, patting my hands before pulling away to shift into gear, since the traffic light is green again. I hum in response. "Yeah, the helmet is just a little heavy." I mutter embarrassedly and then feel her hand on mine again.

"Does Wendy's sound good?" She suggests and I nod with a big grin. "Very good."

After around half an hour we arrive at Alexandra's place. She opens the door for me and we go inside.

"Uhh, you got Wendy's?!" We hear Ben exclaim as he rushes over to us. I can't help but chuckle at that. "Yeah yeah, I got you something too." Alexandra tells him before grabbing his food out of the bag. "Awesome, thanks!" He groans and gives her a short hug before rushing back upstairs into his room. "He really likes Wendy's, huh?" I joke as we sit down on the couch. Alexandra nods with a chuckle and places the food on the table in front of us. We start to eat and god , it's so good! "Ugh, this burger is so good!" Alexandra groans with a big grin, making me smile. "Can I get a bite?" I ask shyly. She looks a little surprised at that but then hands me her burger.

I gently take it from her and bite into it. Immediately I let out a groan and she nods in agreement. "I know." Alexandra says while taking the burger back into her hands. But then she starts to chuckle while looking at my face, which makes me frown. "What?" I ask confused but she just smirks amusedly. "You just have a little sauce there.." she tells me and my cheeks heat up instantly. I try to brush the sauce away from my face with a napkin but somehow can't find it. "Wait, let me.." Alexandra suddenly reaches over and gently brushes her thumb over the corner of my lips. That action gives me goosebumps.

My cheeks turn super red at that and I look away embarrassedly. She chuckles at my reaction. "No need to get flustered." Alexandra teases me with a smirk, on which I hit her arm. "Shut up.."
