Alex's POV

The whole school is laughing at me! I thought as I looked at the stupid flyers sappy had printed. Me with egg all over my self and a huge headline saying, Alexander Prince Of The Yoke!

She said she'd get me back and I really underestimated her this time. I've been well and truly schooled! I fell onto my bed and groaned with the flyer in my hand- about a hundred copies are being passed round the school. I skipped last period because I was terrified of what else she might do. Yeah I'm scarred of Sappy but after the day I've had I'd be insane to be anything else.

I heard the door to the bedroom open, I moaned at the familiar sent.

"Please I give up! You win." I begged turning my head to Sappy.

She smiled and came to sit next to me.

"Good, and sorry if I toke things too far but you deserve it for being such a jerk." She reasoned.

I sat up at her apology and gave her a suspicious look.

"What are you up too?" I asked genuinely scared for my life.

"Nothing I swear. I'm calling a truce." She smiled sincerely.

It wasn't a sarcastic smile, it wasn't a mischievous smile or a fake smile- it was just sweet and innocent and sincere.

"Really?"

"Yeah, truce?" she held out her hand.

"Truce." I smiled happily and shook her hand.

"Now go wash your hair cose it's annoying, use my shampoo." She rolled her eyes as I dashed for the bathroom.

Sappy's POV

"I don't know I feel sorry for Hannibal." I sighed.

"How can you feel sorry for the guy? He's a psychopath!" Alex questioned.

I shrugged. After he finally washed the olive oil out of his hair- and used up all my shampoo in doing so- we just hung out in the den watching movies. The guys busted in through the door and stopped dead in their tracks when they saw us.

Alex was sat on the couch and I was sat up with my legs up on the couch leaning against him with my head on his shoulder.

"Err what's going on?" Wil asked.

"Were watching movies." Alex smiled.

"But... but." Dylan started and trialed off.

"Why aren't you killing each other?" Wil asked.

"Oh we called a truce." I said.

"Yeah were friends now." Alex said going back to the movie.

"Ohh kay'. Can you say weird and slightly creepy?" Wil said.

"Weird and mega creepy." Dylan nodded.

Alex and I spent all Tuesday, Wednesday and all Thursday being nice to each other and I have to admit it was nice to just hang out with him. I could actually call Alex a friend without thinking.

"Morning Sappy." Dylan smiled as I walked into the kitchen.

"Morning." I smiled back at him. "Where's Jay?"

"Went over to Wil's, Kev's on his date so there playing video games." He shrugged.

I made my self some cereal and sat opposite him at the little island in the middle of the kitchen. His blond hair was a mess from just waking up and he was just in blue boxers and a white t-shirt.

"Why aren't you?" I asked.

"Don't feel well, I think I got a cold or flu or something." He sniffed.

"Oh sorry, hope you feel better soon." I remembered something about a bug going round school- that's why we have today off.

"First week of school and everyone is missing Friday off. As crap as I feel I really wish the bug would stay around a while." He grinned.

I smiled back.

"Well I could always dot lipstick on your face and say you have chicken pox or something."

"You have lipstick?" he asked.

I thought about it for a moment.

"Well no, maybe cherry lip-gloss will be the same." I laughed.

Dylan did look pretty run down though, he went back to bed after I finished breakfast.

I sat on the couch and grabbed the stereo remote. It was one of those really cool ones where you can put more than one CD in. I clicked play and sat listening to Plain White T's while I did my homework.

"Morning!" Alex said sarcastically plopping on the couch next to me.

I looked at him, his hair was a mess like Dylan's and he was in a black t-shirt and boxers.

"Alex, are you actually awake yet?" I said looking at his glazed over eyes.

He sighed and slouched in his seat.

"Your not ill to are you?"

"Why who else is ill?" He asked with is eyes closed.

"Dylan, he went back to bed and he looks pretty crap."

"Where's everyone else?"

"Kev's on his date and Wil and Jason are playing video games."

He didn't answer; he just sat there with his eyes closed looking crap too. Whatever's going round school, I hope I don't get it.

I finished my homework pretty quickly and made myself a cheese and ham sandwich. I sat back on the couch near Alex who had fallen asleep, I sighed.

If all the guys get ill I'm not playing mommy!
