My short brown hair blew in my face as I walked to the bus stop. "I hate Mondays" I whispered to myself. I got on the bus and listened to Black Veil Brides the whole way to school. When we got there I put away my phone and walked to first period which is woodshop. I sat in my seat which was right behind Cody's. He turned around when he noticed I was there. Yeah, Cody was my ex, but we were still really good friends for some reason. Then my best guy friend walked in and sat next to me. "Hey Alex" he said as he poked me in the side. Im extremely ticklish so I started giggling. I shoved his arm playfully. "Hey Jake" I replied. There was a tap on my shoulder so I turned around to see none other than Griffin.

"Oh hey Griffin" He smiled in return and took him seat. I have had a crush on him as long as I can remember. After our teacher talked for about 10 minutes we were dismissed to go do our projects. Griffin and I were partners which is what made me love this class. I sat down at the computer and he sat down next to me. We worked and laughed and had fun like we always do. The bell was about to ring and we were packing up. I looked over at Griffin to see that he was already looking at me. I blushed and smiled at him. He smiled back.

Gosh, I wish it could always be like this. I wish I could admit my feelings to him, but I cant. I wish he liked me. He turned away so I went back to what I was doing. I sighed and went back to my seat. The bell rang and I walked with Jake to our next class. we went in to English together and sat at our table which consisted of our little group. I sat in between Jake and Jamie, who are my two best friends. Max sat across from Jake and Destiny sat next to him. I ship Max and Destiny, you can tell they like each other. Nest to Destiny sat Jessica. I know I have a lot of friends with J names. I looked over at the table Griffin was sitting at and sighed.

After English I went to Spanish then to health. Finally, the bell rang to go home so I packed up my stuff and left. "Hey Alex, wait up" I stopped and turned around only to be shoved to the ground. "Oh gosh im so sorry I didn't expect you to stop!' I looked up so see who had fallen on top of me. It was Griffin. I started blushing immediately when I realized it was him. He got up and helped me pick up my stuff. After we picked it all up he turned to look at me. "So.." he said as he started rubbing the back of his neck. "So.." is all I could say. It was so awkward . "I-I have to go. Im going to miss my bus." I stated and I started walking away from the awkward silence. "Oh uh ok bye" He mumbled and walked the other way. Gosh, that was really awkward. I got on the bus and went home. I stared at the new house they were building near mine as I walked home. I took my usual cut through the woods, but today it felt weird. I felt like someone was watching me. Looking at my every move. I shook off the weird  feeling and kept walking. I made it to my house and went inside. I threw my bag onto the floor and went up to my room. I grabbed my phone and looked at the recent messages. I had a couple so I went through them.

From: Cody

Dude guess what

From: Jake

Hey Al

From: Destiny

I just fell down the stairs

I laughed at the message from Destiny. That is so like her. But I did have one more message. From an unknown number. I thought if I should open it or not. I decided to because curiosity was killing me.

From: Unknown

I've been watching you, Alex.
