Charlotte Pov

“Omg. Yes. Oh yeah. Yesss!” Alex shouted out loud.

“keep it down people will hear you!” I replied laughing. She looked at me puzzled.

“Charlotte we are playing guitar hero, the whole street can hear us.” She replied clicking the buttons on the guitar. As I bang on the drums I roll my eyes “Yeah, but the way you’re shouting makes it sound… naughty.” I winked at Alex as she fumbled and missed a few notes on the screen. Getting back into the rhythm as I giggled away the song ended.

“You are really good at that Char, were you on expert?” she asked me. I nodded adding

“I’ve played drums for about 9 years, I also play bass guitar. What about you, play any instruments?”

“Does the triangle count?” she joked. I laughed stepping up to check the time on my phone. I noticed there was an open message on my phone from one of my old friends. “Hey Alex, did you check my phone?” I enquired as her face reddened “I didn’t mean it… it was just there” she paused waiting for me to say something I looked at the message          it was from Tina, one of my friends from my old school, she wanted to know if I met anyone good looking. “It’s okay, I would probably do the same, and it’s too tempting.” I said typing away on my phone.

“Telling her about Mason?” Alex enquired with an interested look on her face.

“He isn’t my type.”

“Who is” she said quickly. I smiled, if only she knew. Standing up I crooked my finger beckoning her towards me as I walked out the door. Stepping out of my room and down the stairs Alexis followed me eagerly. “Do you want anything to eat?”

“Charlotte! You didn’t answer my question.” She huffed. I reached for the handle of the fridge taking my time looking inside knowing that I was killing her with my silence “oh, what did you ask again.” I turned to her twirling a long strand of my hair around my finger. Alexis’s gaze darted from my finger to the fridge back to me then the floor. “I asked what your type was.” She informed me looking back up.

“oh yeah.” I replied grabbing a block of cheese and making my way to the counter; I opened a cupboard and pulled out a cheese grater. Grating the cheese I decided to partially answer her question “well, I don’t have a type exactly, I look for decent people. People I can trust even when I’m playing dodge ball.” I smiled coyly remembering the gaping cut on my nose. Alexis smiled then as I finished grating cheese “What you making?” she asked hovering around behind me, I reached over grabbing a bag of Doritos shaking them in front of her face. “Cheesy Nachos?” I asked as she nodded enthusiastically.

As the microwave beeped telling us that the cheesy nachos were done I hopped down from sitting on the kitchen counter while Alexis lazily stretched. Reaching for the warm bowl I waved them in front of Alex’s face she smiled as I grabbed her wrist leading her into the living room. Plonking myself down on the couch Alex joined me sitting slightly too close for comfort I felt my face heat up as she looked at me funny moving away slightly smiling.

“I’ll stick a movie on if you want.” I said

“Sure, what you got?” she replied reaching for a nacho covered in cheese. Crunching it slowly in her mouth I stared at her my mouth agape. Shit what am I doing? Moving over to a stack of DVDs I mentally shook my head “we have some horror, comedy, uh... romance what you in the mood for?”
