The next day I wake up to small stones being thrown at my window. At first I'm panicky, still half asleep, but then I look out and find Alec standing next to a pile of the pebbles that decorate his side yard.

This cracks me up because his mother will surely murder Alex when she finds out he's been messing with her yard. She's very particular about how it looks and pays good money every month to make sure it could pass for the cover of any landscaping magazine.

After I finish my hyena imitation, I look down to find Alec gone. I'm confused for a minute until I hear the doorbell chime.

I thrown on a sweatshirt and put my hair up in a messy bun, then go to stop Alec from breaking the bell.

"Calm down, I'm coming," I mutter to myself as the bell goes off again.

I swing open the door to find Alec's fist close to where my head was.

"Sorry," he tells me sheepishly. I just laugh in response.

We hang out the whole day and into the night and at 1:34 a.m. (yes I checked) Alec finally asks me to be his girlfriend officially, unlike how I was only his girlfriend because of his friends until now.

This is why, when my alarm goes off Thursday morning, instead of being grumpy and smashing my phone, I'm almost happy.

After going through all my social medias, I go to my closet to find something to wear.

Since it's the fall and I live in New Jersey, I pick out an outfit that would be warm enough to save me from the biting winds of October.

I pull a maroon sweater on over black skinny jeans and to keep them warm, I shove my feet into short leather boots.

Next I put my hair into a high, messy pony and put on some light makeup.

Today I wanted to look nice considering how lots of people were going to be looking at me because of what happened with Blaire and me on Monday.

After getting my stuff for school, I grabbed a gray infinity scarf and a dark gray leather jacket to finish off my look, and I head out the door.

When I told Alec that I'd be going to school today, he'd insisted that he'd drive me to school today, so I went to wait on my porch for him.

After two minutes, he came out, his pink hair still wet. He still hasn't dyed it back because he's insisted he's been "too busy", but I think he just likes the pink, but is too scared to admit it.

"Hey babe," Alec whispers in my ear after we meet at his car. He then kisses me right below my ear and leaves a trail of kisses all the way to my mouth.

When he calls me babe and kisses me, he renders me speechless and I have to hold myself back from saying anything I'll later regret.

"You look especially dressed up today. What's the occasion?" Alec questioned once we got into his car.

"Well, I figured I'd be getting a lot of stares today, so why not look presentable."

"Well I think you'd look nice in anything and everything." Being in a relationship with Alec is totally different than what I had expected. I thought he'd be unattached and just in it for physical pleasures. In stead, he's sweet and caring and he always puts me in a good mood.

On the way to school Alec lets me pick the music, I choose a pop station of course, and he doesn't complain. Too much. I guess he's also in a good mood from last night, after all we had a lot of fun...

No you dirty minded person! We had old fashioned, board game fun!

When we get to school Alec turns to me. "Ignore everyone today. Some people might be mad at you, some might be proud of you, just know that I'm there for you." He then gives me a light, quick kiss and we head out of his car, into school.
