"The love we give away is the only love we keep"-Elbert Hubbard

Alexis POV
I jolted up from my bed when I heard my alarm blaring, partially confused I glanced at the time and noticed I only had 15 minutes to get ready. Running into my bathroom I brushed my teeth and rushed into my closet to get dressed, I unplugged my phone and ran out of the house. Luckily the school wasn't too far from home, I busted into the school hallways and ran to my locker. The hallways were almost empty so I quickly grabbed my books and ran to class, immediately I got seated the bell rang and the teacher walked in. I breathed a sigh of relief, at least I don't have to get stuck in detention.

20 minutes into the class, I was paying little attention to teacher and more attention to the clock. Jason entered the classroom and the whole place turned eerily quiet, he locked eyes with me then turned away. The teacher carried on with his lecture like it was a normal occurrence, I glanced at Jason to see him already looking at me. I turned away but I could feel his eyes burning a hole through my head, immediately the bell rang I was the first out of class but I still wasn't fast enough.

A hand clamped unto my mouth and dragged me into a familiar looking deserted hallway. I turned to look at the culprit and to my surprise it was Dylan.

"You! What do you want this time? Can't you just leave me alo-" He cut me off mid-rant by covering my mouth once more.

"Can you just shut up and let me talk?" He said earning a roll of eyes from me. His hand was still attached to my mouth, so I did what any reasonable person would do. I licked his hand.

"Ewww" he squealed, rubbing his hand off on his shorts and resulting in me laughing. I mean who wouldn't!

"What kind of creature are you?!" He screamed

I shrugged and said " I haven't been identified yet" causing him to glare at me. "Now will you tell me why you brought me here like a psychotic kidnapper?"

With a sigh he said "Look, we got off on the wrong foot and I-" cutting him off I said " by wrong foot do you mean stalking me?"

Shooting me a deadly glare, I put my hands up in mock surrender and I let him continue.

"I just want to apologize and say we should start over, you seem pretty cool and I think we would make good friends" he said.

The shock and surprise was evident on my face, and I wasn't sure how long my face could  stay that way or if I was even hearing properly.

"Sorry what? Did someone put you up to this?Is this a prank?" I said looking around, but I saw no one.

Turning back to look at him, I noticed the tips of this ears had turned a bright pink. He was blushing!

"Is the bad boy blushing?" I teased, causing him to laugh and shove my shoulders lightly.

"Sure, why not" I said, causing him to look at me in confusion. "What?" He asked.

"You want to be friends right?" I asked.

"Y..yeah ...sure.....of course" he stuttered causing me to laugh.

We walked back together laughing, this was certainly a strange turn of events. I felt a pair of eyes on us, so I turned back to see Jason looking at me with a bit of anger in his eyes then turning to walk away.

********************************************
I was binge watching criminal minds on my laptop, when I heard something. I brushed it off thinking it was my imagination, I heard it again and the sound was coming from my window. I walked to the window and peeped through the curtains, I immediately saw a little stone fly to my window.

I peered out the window, then I felt something hard collide with my head. I retracted my head immediately and heard someone laugh, peeking out carefully this time I saw Dylan.

"What are you doing here? And how did you know I live here?" I whisper-screamed

"We said we'd be friends right" he said smirking "and if I could find you at the store, what makes you think I won't find you here?"

"Still doesn't answer the question of why you're here" I said, looking at him skeptically.

"I thought we could go have some fun" he said

"Well you 'thought' wrong" I said moving back to shut the window.

"Come on Alex, loosen up" he said. I was about to decline when I saw a shadow lurking behind the bushes, looking closely I realized it was Jason. Not being  ready to talk to him, I immediately accept Dylan's request.  After getting dressed I ran down to Dylan.

"Didn't know you were so eager to spend time with me" he said cockily

"Shut up and drive" I said slapping him upside his head. At least he had a car and not a death trap with two wheels.

"Where are we going anyway?" I asked.

"You'll see" he said.

Turning on the radio I started switching station, after a while Dylan swatted my hand away from the radio. "Just pick a station" he said angrily. I sighed and put off the radio.

"You're no fun" I said with a huff.

"How about we play 20 questions?" He asked.

"Sure, why not" I said, "I'll start, favorite artist?"

"Taylor Swift" he said, causing me to look in his direction incredulously. "Really!" I said.

"Hell yeah" he said with a laugh, "What's up with you and Jason?" He asked with genuine curiosity laced in his voice.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I said nonchalantly.

"That's a load of bull, he's never stood up for or talked to anyone in school. Then all of a sudden he starts with you?!" He asked.

"Look, I don't know why he did it. And if that's why you came to me, you could just drop me here" I said filled with rage but silently praying he doesn't.

"Chill, fine I'll drop it. It's your turn" he said, quickly changing the topic.

"Why'd you really ask me to go out with you?" I asked curiously "it's not everyday you become best buds with your mortal enemy" I joked.

"I hate to burst your bubble Alex, but this isn't a date" he said jokingly "Oh shut up, you know what I mean" I said.

"To be honest, I think I like you Alexis-I don't know you're middle name- Hamilton." He said averting his gaze from the road to look at me.

I didn't know what to believe, neither did I know what to say. Shocked was an understatement at the moment.

"Dylan-" he laughed "You don't have to say anything Alex, it's fine." He said "It's my turn now" he smiled evilly.

"What are you hiding Alex?" He asked. I was taken aback by his question.

"What do you mean?" I asked "I'm not hiding anything"

"I'm not blind Alex, I notice" he said

"We're here" he said, putting an end to the game. I jumped out of the car. Hoping to put enough distance between us, I really wished I stayed home right now.
