It All Started With A Thud

Chapter Four

~ Alex's Point of View ~

" Hey, " Mac says.
" Hey, " I reply.
" So, I saw that Christian hugged you this morning. What was that all about? " she asked.
" Oh that. It was nothing. It's not important, " I say.
" It had to be something, " she said nudging me.
" It was nothing, and even if it was something I still wouldn't tell because it's none of your business, " I say.
" Whatever you say, " she says.
" I still think you guys are secretly dating. "
" We are not dating! " I say.
" You probably wish you were dating though, " she says, grinning.
" No I don't, " I say.
" But you do think he's hot. I know you, you dream about boys like him, " she says.
" He is really cute, " I say.
" Finally you admitted to something. You can't have a new boy at your school that's really cute and your boy crazy friend not think he's cute, " she says, both of us laughing.
          That night I stayed at Mac's house. It was about about eleven at night and Mac and I were doing temporary tattoos when I heard this ringing noise coming from my phone. I get up to see what it was.
         " Be careful your tattoo is still wet, " Mac says.
       " Don't freak out, " I say.
       I get to my phone and see that I'm getting a Skype call.
       " Hello? " I say answering.
       " Hello, " the other person says. It's a deep voice one that sounds very familiar as if I talked to the person earlier today.
      " Who is it? " asked Mac.
      " It's Christian, " he says.
      " Oh. Hi Christian, I didn't know you had my skype. Did I give it to you?" I ask.
      " No, I got it from Haley, " he said.
     " Oh, no surprise, " I laugh.
      " Yep that's so Haley, " Mac says also laughing.
     " Why is it so Haley? " Christian asked.
       " She thinks there is something going on between us, " I try to explain.
       " What? " he asks.
       " What Alex means to say is that Haley and Shiloh want you to invite Alex to your house, take her to your room, and make her scream if you know what I mean, " Mac says.
        " Dude! " I say laughing. " I was trying to explain that to him without saying that. "
          " Oh really and why is that? " he asked smiling.
          " They think you are the boy version of me, so for that reason we should have sex, " I say.
         " Really, " he says with a crooked smile.
         " Yep but I doubt you could make me scream, " I smile, teasing him.
        " Oh really well I bet I could make you scream, " he says playing along.
        " Yeah right, " I reply.
        " Yeah right is what I'm going to say when Im finished with you. You'll dig your fingernails into my back screaming my name and when we're done I'll leave you breathless and shaking, " he says as we both burst out in laughter.
         " You're funny and dirty minded, you'll fit in with us just fine, " I say.
        " He already feels like part of the group, " Mac says.
        " So what are you guys doing? " he asked.
" Mac and I are doing temporary tattoos, " I say.
" Nice, " he chuckles.
" Yep, look at mine, " I say turning the camera around showing him the temporary tattoo on my ankle.
" Nice one, " he says.
" Thanks, " I say.
       " So what about you, what are you doing this late at night? " I ask.
       " Duh your mom why else would I be up this late at night. I'm kidding, I can't get a girl to save my life instead I just sit around in my room drawing, " he says.
        " What do you like to draw? " I ask.
       " Mostly people, but I also enjoy drawing trees, ponds, and other nature, " he says.
       " That's really cool, I wish I was actually good at drawing but unfortunately I'm not, " I say.
     " Come on, you can't be that bad," he chuckles.
       " I'm serious, I really do suck, " I say.
         " Well then I could teach you, " he replies.
        " You seriously want to teach me? I'm like super unteachable, " I ask.
       " I'm serious, I'll teach you. You'll learn as quickly as I got cooties and I'm a boy so I'm full of cooties, " he smiles.
       " Ewww boys, " I giggle playing along.
       " Alex, as much as I love talking to you, sleep is calling my name so I'll talk to you as soon as I can, " he says with a yawn.
       " Talk to you later, " I say.
       " Goodnight Alex, oh and you too Mac, " he says.
        " Goodnight, " Mac and I say at the same time as Christian ends our Skype call.
        " Why are you looking at me like that? " I ask.
        " Cause I was the one who gave Christian your Skype. I told him that you would be at my house and to call you, " she said with an evil smirk on her face.
       " And let me guess, you also told him to say he got it from Haley because she actually thinks that I like him and so I wouldn't suspect that he was lying, " I say.
         " Yep, " she says laughing.
        " You are not right in the head, " I say as we both laugh.
