Hunter and Alice (Novel)

Prolouge

"Alice!" My best friend Gracie yelled at me. I guess I was daydreaming again. I sighed and looked at her. My number one best friend was her, someone I could trust for the rest of my life. I have known her since fifth grade but we are inseparable. We always do projects together and always hang out. When one of us is busy we always manage to hang out the next day when they aren't busy. No one really talks to us much anymore except for our group that we made two years ago in sixth grade. We kind of are the unsocial socializers, if that makes any sense to you. Basically it means that we are not really social on our own and really social when me and Gracie are together.

"Huh? Sorry I didn't hear what you were saying, I am kind of out of it today..." I told her and put on a fake smile so that the group that I was sitting with at lunch didn't ask too many questions. She shook her head and laughed. I've started daydreaming lately and I know the reason why but I don't really tell anyone about it, not even Gracie. I will tell her though, just not when the boys are around. Yes, that's right; our group is made up of nice and funny boys. We have always hung out so it's not weird for us to be hanging around them. Our group is made up of four boys, Gracie and I.

Frankie is more or less the leader of our group. We consider him the smart one in the group and the one with a lot of the jokes. Zach is considered the really artistic one in our group. He always is drawing and reading at lunch and doesn't really talk much until you get him to stop reading. It always makes me and Gracie laugh when he comes to lunch and just reads. David, in our group, is considered to be an expert on gaming and he is the one that comes up with really good ideas. His personality is a bit strange but that's alright with us. Let's not forget Jack now. We consider him the one to be the one who likes to always make jokes. He is almost a combination of David, Zach and Frankie. It's almost scary to think about but it helps keep the group under control. Then there is Gracie, the co-leader of the group. She is considered the Logical one in the group. She is like Frankie, really smart and able to keep the group always entertained. I forgot to add myself in the group. I am the reason the group is here in the first place.

I started this group in sixth grade when my little brother got me addicted to a simple yet fun game called Minecraft. At that time I didn't really play the game as much as I did now but since then, I've been playing it non-stop. That's also the main reason our group is our group. We all started out having our group be a Minecraft group but it got old by the time seventh grade came around. I guess since we didn't hang out that much during the summer time, we kind of forgot that our group was supposed to be just a Minecraft group. It didn't bother us though because we always liked talking to each other about other stuff and since then we've become closer friends.

"I was explaining a joke to you that I hear last night on Austin and Ally" Gracie told me. I nodded and replied with 'ok' as she began to explain the joke to me. I laughed as she finished saying the joke, afterwards just staring off into space again. I've been thinking way too much about it. 'It' being someone I know. Someone I always talk to after school. I talk to them about my problems and issues I have at school. They are like family to me and I've known them for three years now and we are really close. Though I feel almost like a different person when I talk to them. Maybe I'm slowly falling in love with them....Though I shouldn't be, it would make things weird between us.

The person I am talking about is someone by the name of Hunter. He's always been there for me since sixth grade, and has always managed to make me smile. Although he does some things and says some things that make me worry about him to death, he still is the best friend and brother I could ever ask for. He is the one I always come home crying to. It used to be my older brother but since he started going to high school, he doesn't really talk to me. There are some times that I end up crying in front of him because I get too stressed out or I don't know what to do, and he gives me advice. Other than that, I always end up talking to Hunter.
