I wake up with sunlight hitting my face. Last night's events come crashing to my mind. Me almost breaking down in front of Jordon, his new name for me, crying my eyeballs to my brother, everything.
I had no idea how I would explain this to Jordan because he would definitely ask me. I take a deep breathe and get off my bed walking towards my closet. I pull out my Harry Potter hoodie and black tights. I didn't feel like dressing up today. Last night had really messed me up and I didn't even want to go to school today. It was not like mom or dad would notice, but I couldn't mess up my grades this way. I quickly change into my clothes and put up my hair in a high ponytail and rush downstairs to grab my coffee. Caleb is waiting for me downstairs. He looks at me anxiously.
"Good morning sleeping beauty" he says smiling half heartedly.
"Good morning" I say and go give him a hug. I felt protected and safe in his arms. "We are going to have to leave NOW if we want to reach school on time" I say at him as I walk towards the door.

The car ride is silent. I feel like he was trying not to bring up last night.
He sighs "Ali, are you alright?"
I take a minute before I reply "I would have said yes, but you out of all people know that I really tam not fine... Can we please not talk about it"
He nods and turns back to the road.

We reach school just in time and I dash off to my first class, English literature, the one class I had with both Jordon and Aria. I walk in and take my usual place next to Aria.
"What's with the attire. You usually don't dress like this. What's wrong?" She asks me nervously.
"Don't worry about it Ri, nothing... if it bothers me again... I'll tell you okay?" She doesn't speak a word after seeing the pained expression on my face.
I look up and see a familiar pair of crystal blue eyes walking towards me. he raises his eyebrows questioning me, waiting for an explanation.
"Hey Jordon. What's up" I say with a fake smile plastered on my face.
"Don't pretend Alison... What happened last night?"
I don't reply. He looks at me one last time and walks towards his group of friends sitting in the last few seats. I sigh and look back at the board feeling the words of my teacher buzzing in my ears.
--------------------------------------------------------
The bell rings indicating the end of school. I walk out of my class walking towards my locker to get my books. I see Jordon waiting for me over there. I would have to talk to him about it sooner or later. Might as well be sooner.
"Hey" I say without looking at him.
"Hey. We never got around to finishing our project. Can we finish it this evening?" He asks.
"Ummm.... Sure. My house same time?" I ask.
"Sure"
"Do you mind pizza again?"
"Not at all" he says grinning at me.
I smile back and walk towards the exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around 6 my phone rings. I look over at it 'Spaghetti Thief', I grin at the name. Yes call me immature, but I liked it. I pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Open the door, I've been ringing the bell for the past 10 minutes"
"Yeah I'll be right there wait" I disconnect and rush downstairs and open the door. I'm greeted by a Jordon in a dark shirt and jeans. Even in such plain clothes he looked like a Greek god. He walks in without invitation like he owns the place and walks up straight to my room. I rush upstairs and stare at him with wide eyes and my mouth gaping.
"Close your mouth princess, flies may get in" he says with a smirk.
I shut my mouth close and glare at him. He starts laughing clutching his stomach. I just stand there just shooting icy glares at him.
"If you're done with your laughing session, should we continue our project?" I ask clearly irritated.
"Sure princess" he says.
"Don't call me that" I nearly growl. He rolls his eyes and brings his eyes back to his textbook.
After an hour or so I go down to get some snacks for us. When I walk back inside, I see Jordon scrolling through a phone with a strikingly familiar black phone cover. I gasp when I realize that it's my own phone! I rush towards him and try to snatch my phone back. He pushes me onto the bed and climbs on top. Before I realize what's happening he starts tickling me. I squeal.
"No... Jordon no.... stop.. p-p-please" I say gasping for air in between my laughs. "I'll do anything, just stop please"
"Anything?" He says raising his eyebrows.
Since I don't have much of a choice I say "Yes, Yes anything... please stop"
"Fine then. Let me go through your camera roll, there is usually a lot of embarrassing stuff in there"I freeze.
"Excuse you. What? Not my camera roll. No way." I say sternly.
"Are you sure about that princess?" He says mischievously and he moves towards me to tickle me again.
Before he can say anything I stop him with my hand.
"Okay okay... You can go through it" I say giving up.
He smirks and moves away, and starts scrolling through. He stop every now and then, looks at me and starts laughing. He stops one more time and frowns.
"Is this you?" He asks. I look at the picture. There stands slightly younger Alison. Laughing brightly, with her brown hair cupping her face making her features sharper. She looks prettier and has a certain glow on her face. The reason? The brown haired boy next to me with his arms around my waist, laughing just as much. My heart skips a beat.
"Y-Y-Yes, it's me" I say nervously.
He nods his head and continues scrolling. I'm surprised he didn't ask me anything about it yet. If I were him I would have been very curious to know more. I stop and think why I even had that photo. Of course, because that's all I had left of him. The memories. The happy ones and unfortunately the sad ones as well.
"Ahem." A loud sound interrupts my thoughts. I look up.
"You're so boring! Most of your photos are just some Instagram or Pinterest posts about some books. BORING" he says throwing my phone back at me. Suddenly his phone rings. He looks at the screen and I see worry flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly picks it up.
"He's back like that again?" He says anxiously. He listens for a few seconds.
"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I can" he says and he puts down his phone.
"We're almost done with the project. Just add some finishing touches and bring it to school on Monday. I got to go. Emergency" he says and dashes out of his room. I stare at the path that he took and furrow my eyebrows in confusion. What was that all about.? What is it with him? He was happy and cheerful a minute ago and now he was worried and rushed out like his life depended on it. Maybe he had something of his own to hide. Who knew?
