Alex's POV
I decided not to go out! Instead I decided to stay at home and watch Netflix and just message Emily, Ashley, Izzy and a few other mates! I didn't pay much attention to Netflix really, every time I finished responding to one of my mates, either Emily, Ashley or Izzy responded to me. I don't even know what I was watching. In the end I gave up trying to do two things at once so I put my phone on silent. Before I turned my phone, Emily called me...
"Hello?" I speak first. I don't hear anything besides from a bit of shuffling and very light sobs. "Emily? What's wrong?"
"Why are you talking Ashley?" She says in a muffled voice, almost as if she was embarrassed to ask, but I managed to hear her.
"What are you talking about?" I ask her trying to hide the fact that I did more than talk with her.
"Apparently, you and Ashley have been talking for a while" she says a little more confidently now.
"Where did you hear that?" I ask her trying to change the subject.
"Naomi told me" She says. Shit I forgot that Ashley and Naomi were good friends, although I do know that Ashley and Emily despise each other because they are two completely different people. Ashley is a slut and she doesn't have as good as figure as Emily, however, Emily isn't a slut and she is so fucking innocent!
"Oh, well we've only been talking as friends!" I lie to her again.
"Ok, well that's fine! I was actually just calling to make plans for next weekend..." Emily offers.
"I can't I'm busy again, I'm so sorry" That would be another lie because that is the weekend that I'm going to meet up with Izzy, but the weekend after I'm gonna do something with Emily just so she thinks that I'm not neglecting her.
"No that's fine, it's not your fault you're so busy. So what are you doing next weekend then?"She asks me, which is weird because she never really asks me; I'm a little taken back from that comment.
"Just gonna meet up with a couple mates" I half tell her the truth.
"Oh cool. Is Ashley gonna be with you?" And now I know why she asked that question.
"Is someone a little jealous?" I tease her.
"No..." She says in a joking way.
"Hmm....!" I respond, "I have to go now, I'm sorry, I have work in a bit so I have to get ready." I tell the truth.
"That's fine, have fun!" Emily says in a sweet voice.
"Thank u baby I will" I respond with a little flirting.

Emily's POV
After he said that I just hang up the phone and continued with my homework for tomorrow. I still have to ask Alex so many questions about Ashley! Like, why is he talking to her? How long have they been talking? Is she flirting with him? Is he flirting with her? And so on. Sorry but I don't want to lose one of my good boyfriends to a bitch...
Oh well I guess I trust him a little bit....I'm sure he wouldn't do anything to hurt me....I hope so at least. Unfortunately, life likes to hit us in the face with a brick! I'm not sure if it's getting me ready to hit me or if it's gonna pass bye with it....hmm I'm just going to have to go with the flow and see what happens.
Homework actually sucks, I mean I could have been on Netflix right now but my stupid chemistry teacher has set us an entire assignment to do. Teachers can be so cruel, and annoying. Well at least I'm almost finished with it...I hope.
For the rest of the evening I'm just going to go on my phone and talk to Alex...maybe I can get some more information about him and Ashley.
Honestly, Ashley has been such a bitch to me these past few years. She's been calling me out on my imperfections and calling me names, I know you can class that as bullying but I don't care to be honest, if she wants to be mean then let her be that's her problem not mine.
***
School can be such a drag at times, nothing interesting happened today....besides from people spreading rumours again. I think I overheard a rumour that Ashley and Alex slept together, but I choose not to believe it. After all, it is just a rumour!
Speaking of Alex, where is he? He wasn't in school today, maybe something happened with his family....if something has happened then I want ti make sure Alex is alright. I care about him so much!
I send him a text asking if he was alright and asked him why he wasn't in school. He responded quite quickly saying that everything is alright and that he just over slept and couldn't be bothered to deal with the teachers. I guess that's a fair point.
I mean the teachers are pretty shit, the other day I was in English and I wanted to ask my teacher about this point that we had to analyse, but she already told me a really good point to analyse. However, that point was too difficult for me, so I wanted to ask her about a different point but she didn't bother helping, she told me to go back to the previous point even though I have been sitting for about half an hour trying to analyse it.
This is the main reason I hate English now, I mean I used to love it but now I just don't, teachers are meant to teach you and encourage you, not discourage and refuse to teach you. She was such a bitch to me! So to be fair, Alex does have a point of why he didn't come into school today.
***
The next day, school was a bit more interesting because Alex actually showed up in school and we barely did anything. In most of the lessons we were just either on our phones or doing quizzes, we would occasionally have a film on but not very often.
Whenever we were on our phones I would just text Alex all the time because he was always on his phone, but he never got caught for using it once. If we had the lesson together we would, either chat the entire time, play either against or with each other in the quizzes or if we have a film he would always either hold my hand or put his arm around me.
The reason why we weren't doing much in school is because the holiday was approaching soon so I'm guessing the teachers were like fuck this, let's just have some fun. So they can be nice at times, when the holiday is closer. Other than the holidays they can be rude bitches.
After school, I try to catch Alex but as soon as I get to the place that we usually meet up he is gone...I wonder where he could be. Instead of waiting around, I decide to head home. I don't wait because Alex is always here and when he isn't he would usually send a text or something to notify me.
The walk home was starting to drag on because I don't have anyone to keep me entertained or anything like that, so I tried to keep myself entertained by taking in all of my surroundings. To be honest there isn't much to take in, but it was still relaxing and it was quite calming.
During my journey I passed this couple that was kissing very passionately, oddly enough the two people looked very familiar...who is that? I recognise the guy but I can't tell who it is! At my school there are a few guys that look the same from a specific angle; Alex, Brandon and Ryan. The three most popular guys in my school. Honestly, I dont know how I ended up with Alex because he has a bad reputition that could get him kicked out of school, that is if the principle ever finds out about it.
Unfortunately, for me I'm facing that angle so I've been left curious. Thankfully for me, I have a quick mind but a clumsy body so I end up walking straight into the guy and end up breaking his kiss with the girl.
I turn around to see who the guy and the girl were, mainly to apologise but might as well see who they are as well. I'm not really shocked to find out that the girl was Ashley because after all she is probably the biggest slut in our school. However, as soon as I see who the guy is, my jaw just completely dropped, I'm pretty sure it nearly hit the ground. Ashley's kissing companion just so happened to be Alex.
