Well this is definitely not what I expected

Chapter 12: Kicked Out and A Concert

Alex's POV

When I woke up the next morning I was so excited for my date with Jackson. I woke up far to early for my liking considering it is only Saturday but I'm excited. It's not everyday that you get to go on a date with the guy you've liked forever. When I went downstairs I noticed a note was posted on the refrigerator. It said

"Alex, Your dad and I have gone away for the weekend we left early this morning. I told you we were leaving a few days ago so it shoudn't be a surprise to you. We will be back tomorrow night.

Love you, Mom"

I totally forgot about them going away for the weekend. Oopsies. I looked at my phone while I was waiting for my eggos to pop up in the toaster. I got no text from Maddi telling me she was sorry, that is just slightly upsetting. I still don't understand why she can't be happy for me. Sighing I grabbed a butter knife from the drawer to spread Nutella on my eggos. As I ate them I was on my laptop seeing if anything interesting was going on on Facebook. Mostly every post was about the football game. Even though I don't have very many friends at school I have a lot of friends on Facebook, which is wierd.

After I finished eating I went upstairs to have a shower. After my long hot shower I got dressed into some yoga pants and a tank-top since it's kinda cold today. To kill time I started reading Divergent again. It's a really good book I've read it twice already. At 3:00 Kat texted my saying she was picking me up so we can go to Starbucks. She says we need to take advantage of happy hour since it's almost over. I don't complain because half off frapps sounds good to me.

At Starbucks I got a Mocha Cookie Crumble frapp and Kat got a Vanilla Bean one. After we found a seat Kat gave me that look that tells me I'm not gonna like what she says. "What happened between you and Maddi, Alex? She called me last night and she sounded pissed." Sighing I told her. "Jackson asked me out and I said yes. I called Maddi last night to tell her and she got mad at me. She told me that she doesn't want me going out with him because she likes him. I've liked him a long time too so I said I was going out with him. She always gets the guys and she is mad because a guy finally chose me over her." "I thought she likes Noah, because she is always flirting with him." "I thought that too and I pointed that out but she still doesn't want me going out with Jackson. Should I call him and tell him I can't go? I don't want to lose my friendship with Maddi over a guy." After I said that I rested my head on my arms that were folded over the table. "Look at me Alex." When Kat said that I looked up becasue she sounded serious and that never happens. "Don't cancel your date with Jackson becaus Maddi is being a bitch. You like him and he likes you which means you have to go out. She will get over it eventually. Anyways you guys would make a much cuter couple than him and Maddi." "Thanks Kat you are actually a really good friend." "Oh I know I'm fantabulous." That caused me to laugh she is actually really nice and funny even though she acts totally slutty all the time.

"Jalex or Jex? Which couple name sounds cuter for you and Jackson?" "Oh my god niether of them." Deciding that I want to change topics from my love life to Kat's I asked her about Logan. "So what's going on with Logan?" "Unfortunatly nothing we hook up a lot but he hasn't asked me out. I really like him though and I'm willing to drop me slutty ways for him." she said. "Have you tried dropping any hints on how you feel?" "No I haven't but that is a good idea I'll try that." After that we just moved our conversation to things that aren't important or serious just fun conversation. When we finished our frappuccinos it was already almost five so Kat drove me home so I could get ready for my date.

Jackson said to dress casual so I settled on jeans and a cute top. I painted my finger nails black and thankfully they dried quickly. My eye makeup was grey with cat eye liner and my lips were a shiny red colour. My hair fell down my back in it's natural waves and I tied a red bandana in my hair as a bow. I wore dark blue skinny jeans with a white flowy tank-top, that said 'Keep Calm and Stop Hating'. I wore by spiked combat boots with it. I sprayed myself with my Lady Gaga purfume. I put my black leather jacket in my purse with my camera, wallet and phone. Looking at the time I saw it was only 5:55 so I had to wait for Jackson a little longer. i stared feeling the nerves for the date now. Crossing my fingers I hoped tonight goes well.
