Troubled

Five.

"I know, love you too." She sighed before she pressed the little red button and thereby ended the call. "I'm home!" She called out as she dropped her keys on the counter before she got a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Oh hey Al, any plans for tonight?" Tom Jacobs slipped into the bar stool and leaned upon the counter.

"Yea, my friend Jazzy invited me over." Her eyes was laid upon her uncle, though a buzzing in the backpocket of her jeans suddenly caught her attention.

"Well, that's great. I'm just gonna hang in and play some PS3 by mah self yo!" Tom threw up a couple of hand signs, failing completely in looking cool. A small laughter left Alex's lips, though she quickly turned her full attention back towards the vibrating phone that she had gotten out of her pocket.

From: Unknown
To: Alex Jacobs
Ey there shawty, how's the weather at your place? ;)

Slightly creeped out by the anonymous message and the unknown number, she decided to reply.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Unknown
Who are you and where did you get my number?

As she waited for the unknown person to reply she made her way up the stairs and into her bedroom in a search for a clean shirt.

From: Unknown
To: Alex Jacobs
Aww, what a shame you forgot my name babe. I was so excited to hear you scream it out loud ;)

She felt repulsed for a moment until she realized how stupid she had been to not predict this moment.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Unknown
Ah well we'll see about that, kay Bieber?

As soon as the message was sent she was quick to save his number before changing into a clean black long sleeved shirt.

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Feisty I see? Well, fortunate for you I love my chicks that way! ;)

"Typical." She groaned before typing away another reply.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
What do you want, Bieber?

She was well aware that for whatever the reason for him to contact her was, it had to be regarding their little game. After all, why would a popular jock contact the new and rather unknown student, if there wasn't anything in it for him?

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Just wanted to check up on my favorit chick ;)

Was it so wrong that she felt more than just slightly offended by his choice of words?

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
Well if that's the case - bye.

Quite honestly she wasn't in the mood for any more of his stupid ass flirting and winking smileys. She had already had her fair share for the day.

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Woaw chica, you blowing me off? *gasp*

Alex couldn't help but roll her eyes at his message, while crossing her fingers that he would soon get the memo and leave her alone. After all she only had about twenty minutes left until she had to leave for Jazzy's place and she wanted some time to just drown into the calming voice belonging to the lead singer of her favorit band.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
Looks like it. Are you going to cry now?

She pressed send before she grabbed for her iPod. After stuffing the earbuds into place she pressed the little play button, instantly making Jason Wilds' calming voice spring to life.

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Actually, yes... No but seriously. I actually just wanted to know when this game was scheduled to start?

Alex felt her annoyance grow as the phone kept vibrating with messages from Justin, who clearly couldn't take a hint to piss off and instead decided to, unknowingly, interupt her string of thoughts and music every third minute.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
Oh, so the Biebs need as much time as possible in order to win this, I see?

A single glance at the clock told her it was time to get going. Another message was recieved, making her back pocket vibrate like an earth quake, as she tied the laces of her old, yet perfectly intact, converse.

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Just tell me, Jacobs.

A single laughter left her slightly dry lips as she read the message over and over again. Oh how she just loved to push his buttons.

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
As soon as possible Bieber.

She knew she had to step up her game and get her acting skills floating soon if she wanted him to lose the bet, though she was perfectly fine with waiting a day or two with the whole winking and secret flirty smile acts.

From: Bieber
To: Alex Jacobs
Perfect, wanna hang out tonight? ;)

Damn, was he always this fast to make a move?

From: Alex Jacobs
To: Bieber
Sorry booboo, I've got another date ;)

Oh what the hell, she thought, might as well play while the game is still on, right?

"I'm leaving!" She called out through the house as she grabbed her keys where she had left them.

"Peace out loser." Another laughter followed the previous as she made her way towards her car. That right there was just one of the reasons as to why she loved her uncle so deeply. He was in his thirties, still single and childish as one could be.

"Damn." He sighed as his eyes scanned the screen of his precious iPhone.

"What now?" His little sister tried to bend her neck in an impossible way. What a desperate try, he thought.

"Nothing." He mumbled before he lifted her legs off of his lap and made his way towards the kitchen to fetch himself some snacks. "When is this 'friend' of yours coming over?"

Jazzy had informed her brother earlier on that her new friend would be crashing their place for the night. Apparently it had something to do with an english assignment and when you looked at the fact that Jazzy loved to throw sleepovers, she had managed to turn a study night into a full on sleepover.

"She should be here any minut -" She started off but never managed to finish her sentence as the doorbell rang, causing an instantly squeal to leave Jazzy's lips before she ran to the door. "Behave." Was the last thing Justin heard before she opened the door and greeted her friend welcome.

Justin was no where near excited. He never was when his sister planned a sleepover. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that all of her guests always seemed to be more interested in him than whatever his sister had planned.

"There's someone I want you to meet." Justin sighed, preparing himself for yet another night filled with stalkerish staring and undeserved attention. It might be what he wanted at school and in public, but at home he felt better off without all the looks from the girls.

"Justin, this is my new friend Alex." Justin, who had been keeping his eyes locked on the chips bag in his hand, instantly paid his full attention to his sister's guest as her name was mentioned. "Uhm, Alex this is my brother Justin."
