Alex woke, not to the graceful sunlight beaming through his window, but to the sound of his phone, wailing at him from his sidetable. He checks to see the time, before finally silencing the phone, 8:27am Sunday. He end hangs up on who was calling him, not even checking who it was. Alex flopped back over onto his pillow before going to sleep again. But before long he hears his phone begin to ring again, he once again checks to the time, 8:31am, again he closes the call, before landing on his pillow again in the same manner. A final time he awakens from the noise of his phone going off, annoyed he doesn’t even check the time and proceeds to pick up the phone. “Hello?” he says in a very tired and mumbled voice, a reply comes in, “ALEX! you got a girlfriend.... whoop whoop!” Alex could hear the excitement in her voice, and who else would know but his older sister.

He was always close to his sister, but when Alex moved, he moved away from his family as well. He was practically raised by his sister, she would always be the one spoiling him with whatever he wanted. Yeah, Nicole was awesome alright, accept for her one flaw, she likes to stick her nose in everything. How she finds out this stuff he doesn’t know, but she’s always there for him, even though she’s already 30 something, married, and has two kids.

 Though through Alex’s reminiscing of his sister, he could here her talking into the phone “hello, Alex you there? HelloOooo?”

“Oh, Hi Nicole, how are you?” Alex said awkwardly, of course from confusion and alittle bit of tiredness from being so rudely awoken, AND on a Sunday.

“So i hear you have a girlfriend”

“How did you find out so fast?”

“Mel told me.”

“How did she...”

He figured it out, grabbing his macbook pro from beside his bed he opens it up and navigates his way to facebook, right there dead center he see’s it, an update from Skye “Skye is Now in a relationship with Alex”, well that might explain it.

Mel, or her full name Melody was Alex’s first girlfriend from acouple of years ago, she’s always on facebook, she knows everything. And who else would then know everything my sister, unfortunately for me Mel, and Nicole are good friends, so if Mel found out something like this, she’d call Nicole, well that’s if Nicole didn’t find out on facebook herself.

Nicole, as usual continued asking Alex a series of questions, one after the other, “When did it happen?”, “Did you kiss?”, “Are you going to kiss her?”, “can you show me a picture?”, “How can i meet her?”, these question’s that he’s heard millions of times, again and again. More specifically about 7 times each, he hasn’t had that many girlfriends.

After the annoyances of all those phone calls, Alex probably decided he should go back to sleep, AFTER turning his phone off, before he gets calls from anyone else, T-MINUS 8 hours before all his family and friends know. Well what little friends he has left at this point.
