Physics, UFO's and Feelings (The X Files Alternate Universe)

Chapter 8

Mulder's POV

Two weeks. It's been two weeks since I saw Scully. And it's been that long since I talked to a human. I know, poor me. Diana tried to talk to me but every time she tried I never gave her my attention I walked past her like I did not see her. Suddenly, I am back to being alone, being the outsider in this school. Since I met Scully, I have to admit things made sense again but when that night happened, I'm back to loser me.

As I walked my way to the physics lab, I would be sitting alone again. I am used to Scully being at my side sticking her nose in a book while I draw aliens and spaceships. Then she'll notice and mumble 'Oh brother'. Wait, what the? I just caught myself smiling. Great. Now she's making me insane. I shook my head and as I reached the lab, it was like my feet had been nailed permanently to the ground I couldn't move because I couldn't believe who I saw. Next to my chair, a long red-haired girl sits. Then my heart suddenly beats fast. She turned her head, saw me, and then... flashed her smile that I miss so much. I blinked then I realized some of my classmates were behind me looking like they would eat me because I was blocking the door. I started to walk to my chair, I put on my bag and sat down. Not knowing what to do, I hear Scully's voice.

"Hi." She said, smiling.

"Hello," I replied. For the love of aliens, I don't want to say hello, I want to hug her. Hug her so tight, smell her hair that I like so much, and tell her I miss her.

"I'm sorry." She said, now her eyes full of life a minute ago turned to sadness.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry Scully, I believed what Diana said and I shouldn't have. I'm sorry."

"I guess we're both deceived by Diana and Brad." She said head down. "So, are we still friends."

I looked at her, smiled, and said "Yes." Then I remembered what her father said and my smile faded.

And I know she knows why, "I don't want to stay away from you Mulder."

Again, I just looked at her can't believe she just said that. "Me too," I said and she looked at me. I don't know if she has the same feelings towards me as I have for her. Her eyes sparked and she smiled

"So....does anybody know that we should stay away from each other?" I asked her.

Then Scully replied, "Monica and my siblings"

"Of course," I said feeling disappointed.

"But, Monica is just fine, she will get mad or surprised because she knows what kind of man my father is but... I can make her keep our...secret." Scully said.

I just nodded. Then our physics teacher came in and started the class. I and Scully looked at each other like we just had a pact.

Scully's POV

The bell rang for lunch break and Mulder and I decided to eat our lunch separately. I went to the cafeteria where Monica was waiting for me and I don't know where Mulder went he just said he would find a place. As much as I want to take him with me I can't. So when I arrived at the cafeteria Monica waved her hand at me and I walked towards her. Just when I sat down she leaned towards me.

"What the hell are you doing?" she whispered but with an angry voice.

"What are you talking about?" I pretended I didn't know what she was talking about as I started to get my lunch out of my bag and placed it on the table.

"Don't you 'what are you talking about me' Dana Katherine Scully." Oh god, now she sounds like my mother. Oh, Monica. Then she continued, "I saw you talking to Mulder at your physics class."
