We both laughed at our 1st grade attempts at modeling. Most of it reminded me of Zac Efron. Second through fifth grade was the same deal: give eachother the look then be so fierce that it makes Ariana Grande jealous. Except my dad wasn't there next to my mom taking photos. As a kid i was dissatisfied but ignored it. If I didn't already know what happens I probably would have disregarded it at this age too. We continued flipping through the book until I found a picture that caught my eye. It was 6th grade, when acne and voice cracking began to hit us both like a train. Alex was finally taller than me and my style changed. Goodbye jeans and baggy tee's, hello leggings and fitted crop tops. ~We were riding our bikes down the sidewalk talking about the next big pop band our parents were following us but this time in their cars. I laughed at a corny joke Alex said before we both arrived at school. Our parents pulled up behind us jumping out with cameras so bright they temporarily blinded me. 'This is getting old fast' I thought to myself before hugging Alex for the final photo. "Is it just me or do your feet hurt from all that riding?" I inquired. Alex shrugged but crouched down. We leisurely walked into school, well he leisurely walked into school. Alex insisted on carrying me because of my aching feet. Eventually I convinced him into putting me down. We walked into the cafeteria, waiting for our names to be called so we could find out which homeroom we were in. During the time we made fun of he teachers names. "Ms. Singletown. How many ex's does she have?" Alex mused. "I don't care as long as we don't have Taylor swift as a teacher." I retorted. We were so busy cracking jokes that we didn't hear our names called and the teachers refused to tell us so we spent the day wandering the halls alone together.~ We both must have been thinking the same thing because we simultaneously busted out in laughter. Not only was I laughing at the fact that we wandered the halls but also at the terrible puns. "The jokes weren't even good." Alex said. "Yeah we were terrible at puns and you still are so nothing changed." I laughed as he playfully stuck out his tongue and muttered a 'shut up'.
