Running upstairs, I imagined what Alex would be doing.
I mean.. it was probably 10 minutes with Alex's mom, 5 minutes between walking there and back, and another 5 minutes of mom caving in..
..so in total..
20 MINUTES ?!
HE WAS PROBABLY BORED OUT OF HIS MIND ?!!
Going into the room, I smiled and waved.
"Hey, Alex!! Looks like you-"
He was asleep, over the covers.
Looks like he dozed off?
SO I WAS RIGHT ! HE WAS SO BORED OUT OF HIS MIND HE FELL ASLEEP!!!
I sat down at my bed, gazing down at him.
His mom didn't seem nice at all.
I wonder if she's nice to him.
But at the same time, both moms seemed to KNOW eachother!
Like they had a history or something.
Mom mentioned something about a phase.
WHAT was a phase ?!
Unless...?!
Tapping his hand, I muttered, "..Hey, Alex.." and smiled softly.
His eyes snapped open as he grabbed my hand forcefully.
