I've been kinda quiet since that huge fight that happened at the house. Not by much compared to Daniel though. And he refused to eat this morning, and last night, too. Had he really been the only one who didn't know what happened to Lilly? Or maybe whatever Oliver said got to him? I looked over at Daniel's still form on the sofa.

We were still at the hotel, awaiting information from King Douche himself. We had arrived yesterday, much to a certain someone's disdain, I might add.

I looked through my phone once more before the screen slowly scrolled onto a name. 'Alex'. Oh ya. That cute boy who was kinda lame, but rediculously adorable with his 'asking me out thing.' I chuckled remembering his cheesy way into talk to me.

I glanced down at my phone again, and clicked his number to text him. Which, a few minutes later, was followed by a response.

Me: "Hey"

Alex: "Hi? Who's this?

Me: "I don't know, why don't you ask your watch"

Alex: "Oh yeah, hey! Haha. I didn't think you'd text me!"

Me: "Yeah well... You thought wrong. So about hanging out? Think you can do that today?"

Alex: "Um... Yup, totally. I don't think I have anything planned, so... Where to?"

Me: "How about the park?"

Alex: "Sure, just tell me the dets later"

I chuckled, before texting him which park and when.

I finally decided to get my lazy ass up and take shower, which- much to my surprise- was being walked out of by El.

"Morning" she smiled before straightening her shirt a bit.

"Morning," I slightly yawned. "I'm going out later today, just so you know."

I walked into the bathroom and hopped into the shower before Ell could bombard me with questions.

30 minutes later I had gotten out of the shower and dressed in a simple black tee, some jeans, and my Vans that had a galaxy design on them. I made my way out the door with my phone, avoiding the curious glances from my friends.

I turned around from closing the door and bumped into a towering person who resembled a brick wall.

"Oh, I'm sorry," an accent played." I wasn't paying attention"

I looked up to see a slightly familiar pair of sheepishly green eyes staring back at me.

"Nah man forget it," I waved him off, "It doesn't matter. I gotta go, see ya." and I left him, walking outside and making my way to the park.

When I got there, by walking if course, I already saw him sitting on a bench. His brown hair, falling forward a bit. But his eyes still, very much to my enjoyment, were showing. I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder, causing him to jump slightly.

I smirked a bit, staring at his sheepish grin. "Sup, book boy."

"H-Hey Ally. What's up?" he scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, you know, asking strangers for the time, getting lost, the usual." I grinned, now sitting next to him on the bench.

"Ah... You're never gonna let that go are you?" he chuckled, his voice sounding deeper than it did a minute ago.

All day we exchanged playful words and banter. And learned things about each other. Like how his best friend is Irish, how he thought his brother was raised by apes when he was younger. How he had had this cute obsession of dinosaurs when he was 8. All day was pretty much a good day. And I could barely keep myself from pinching his cheeks at how cute he'd look when he'd blush while telling these stories.

"So tell me... Zander," he raised an eyebrow at the nickname, "why'd you randomly choose to ask me? That's the big question, isn't it?"

He looked at me a bit before moving his gaze to the ground, blushing. "I... I thought you were cute... I mean you still are cute, I don't mean were as in where you're no longer cute because you are still very cute and- I should... Stop talking..." he blushed even redder if that was possible.

I laughed at his reaction. "Well, you're smart" I rolled my eyes before playfully nudging his arm.

I looked at the time and groaned knowing I'd probably need to get back to the hotel now. Sighing, I told Alex that I had to leave. Making him pout.

"Lets do this again, okay?" I told him before walking away. But not before I saw him with a huge smile and nodding like crazy.

Chuckling to myself, I made my way to the hotel. When I finally got there, I saw that guy I bumped into earlier, talking to Daniel in the lobby. I raised an eyebrow to myself and made my way upstairs to our rooms. I decided that if he wants to tell me, he will. I also decided to text Alex once more. But I put something that'd probably make him look redder than a tomato.

Ally: "Hey, you looked cute today, too :)"
