What to do? High school! #Thewattys2018

Chapter 7: Alex

Date: 10/6/17

I look out the window and see March, James, and Dan walking out of the building. The whole class is walking out. I wonder why.

"Alex" the nurse says and I turn my head "You can go back to class, I will write you a pass" she says and I nod my head. Justin went to class a few minutes ago. She writes me a pass and I start to walk back to class. I am stopped by getting light headed. I look around and know something is off. There is not one kid in the halls, strange. I continue to walk back to class. When I get there I sit down next to Justin.

"Hey Ally" he says

"Hey Justin" I say and look over at the two people sitting across from me, Megan and May. "Hey guys" I say

"Are you okay" They both ask at the same time.

"Yeah I think so" I say

"We are still hanging out later right?" May asks

"Of course" I say and look over at Justin. He is looking down at me smiling. I can tell I am blushing and look away.

"Awe, our little Alex is blushing" Megan says

"Shush" May says

"Sorry" Megan says

"Guys" Justin says and we all look at him "Why are they outside" he asks

"I have no idea. Maybe class outside" Megan says

"No, they have projects to present today" I say

"Oh yeah" Megan says

"I wonder" Justin says

"Wonder what" May asks

"No, I just wonder why they are out there" Justin says and we all become quite. I start to think about everything that has happened today. I got punched in the face, had a flash back of my old school, and got asked out by Justin. I mean, he asked me out on a date, je did not ask me to be his girlfriend. I wish he would though.

"Alex" May says and I just look up at her "What are you thinking about" She asks and now they are all looking at me

"Nothing" I say and look back down at the table. Justin has been there for me since the day we met. I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. I don't remember too much because I was meting so many new people and no one really stood out except him. It's all a blur of that day. We were at a birthday party for May. I had moved here early in the summer and May was/is my neighbor. We became friends the day we met. I didn't know anyone else in town until the party, except March. May and March used to be best friends, then the three of us were best friends, then when Megan came, May and Megan got really close while March and I also got really close. Anyway, I was at the party and I was introduced to Austin, Dan, David, James, Justin, Liam, and a few other people who were her Family. When I met Justin, or more like, when I saw Justin, I was like 'holy shit he's cute'. I told March a few days later that I saw a really cute boy at the party. She freaked out. She wanted to know who it was and what he looked like. When I described how Justin used to look, she knew he was a good fit for me. She said she would set it up, but when she asked Justin, he said he never met me, which isn't a lie, he didn't met me, he didn't even see me, at least, I don't think he saw me. March did everything she could to hang out with all of us at the same time. Megan moved here our sophomore year, and everything changed. Instead of there being three girls and four boys in our group, it was even and instead of there being an un-written rule that we can't date anyone, we all started to like someone. May started to like James, I continued to like Justin, and I don't know about the others.
