I change my mind. We are definitely not friends.

"I say we go to Home Depot to get the super glue!" Alex shouted.

"Well I say we go to Lowe's!" I shouted back, "It's my globe we're fixing!"

"And it's my money!" Alex yelled.

"It's my car!"

"Ugh! You're so irritating! I was trying to be nice by helping you fix the globe! But maybe I shouldn't be helping you!" Alex yelled. I could see hurt in his eyes.

I sighed, "Alright. We'll go to Home Depot. I'm sorry."

He sighed and mumbled sadly, "It's fine."

I grabbed his wrist and said, "Come on." He followed me as I walked toward my car.

We had been arguing at the bottom of the stairs of the dorm building. My car was a few dorm buildings away so, it was a fairly long walk. We walked in silence as I pulled Alex along behind me. He didn't protest or try to pull his wrist out of my grip. I could tell that he was struggling to keep up but, didn't want to look at him after the argument we had. I slowed down slightly so, that he could keep up but, not so much that I had to walk next to him.

After a few minutes of walking we got to my car. I pulled my car keys out of my hoodie pocket and unlocked the car. I pulled Alex over to the passenger side and opened the car door. I let go of his wrist and looked away as he got in. I hurriedly closed the door, avoiding his gaze, and got in the driver's side. I started the car and pulled out. I started to drive in the direction of Home Depot.

I felt Alex staring at me the whole time but, refused to look at him. I didn't want to see the look on his face. I didn't want to know why he was staring at me. I didn't want to hear his voice. I just wanted to get this over with so, we could go back and I could go to sleep or go bother James or finally see Maria. I hadn't seen her since before I left. I haven't talked to her either. I tried to call her a few times during the start of my trip and she never answered or got back to me so, I stopped trying.

I frowned in disappoint. I quickly shook my head to get the sad thoughts out of my head. Maria still loves me, she's just busy, I told myself, believing every word. You love her and she loves you and you're meant to be together. You're soul mates.

I smiled sadly and focused completely on the road once more to realize that I was driving aimlessly and in the opposite direction of Home Depot. I looked over to have Alex staring right back at me. I had totally forgotten that he was in the car. I looked away quickly and turned around at the next light, now driving us in the right direction.

"Thomas?" Alex asked as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

I looked over at him in shock for a moment. His face was light pink and he was looking down, his hand still on my shoulder. I hurriedly looked back at the road.

"What?" I asked, trying not to become tense under his touch.

He pulled his hand away slowly as he asked quietly, "Why d-did you try to c-c-cuddle with m-me?" I looked over at him briefly to see him looking right at me with a bright red face.

I turned my head to hide my blushing face. "The t-thing is I get super c-cuddly when I'm s-sad," I replied, stumbling over my words in an attempt to explain myself. I looked back over at him and he simply nodded, seeming to understand. I sighed in relief that he didn't decide to question me farther.

I pulled into a parking space and got out of the car. Alex got out shortly after me and rushed to stand beside me. 

I locked the car and began to walk when I felt someone grab my hand. I looked down to see Alex holding my hand. I looked back up to see Alex looking straight forward and his face was bright red.

I blushed as my heart fluttered. I quickly pushed down the feeling. What was that? You don't have feelings for Alex right? You're with Maria. You love Maria, I thought. The fluttery feeling turned to one of pain as I continued to walk by Alex, not bothering to pull my hand away. 

Alex's P.O.V.

After Thomas told me that I immediately decided to hold his hand when we got out of the car. He had looked quite sad while he was driving us here. I had never really gotten to know him because I was set on hating him but, maybe he wasn't so bad. I might as well give him a shot to prove he's not the terrible heart eating demon I believe him to be.

I got out and raced to his side, quickly grabbing his hand before I could think twice about it. He wrapped his fingers around my hand, accepting the gesture, and my heart soared.

I took my other hand and hit my chest, trying to get the feeling to go away. I didn't understand what that feeling was and I didn't like it.

I let my arm fall back to my side as I walked into the store. I pulled my hand away from his to grab a hand basket. I grabbed the basket and started to walk toward the super glue isle, not checking to see if he was following.

My hand felt cold so, I stuffed it in my jacket pocket. It was warm once more but, it just wasn't the same without Thomas' warmth. I blushed dark red. Thomas' warmth?!?! Alex, what are you thinking!

I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Thomas staring at me. I quickly looked ahead and walked faster. I could tell that Thomas had no problem keeping up and that irritated me. I walked faster, trying not to break into a jog. This pace was difficult for me to keep but, for Thomas it clearly wasn't. I looked at him from the corner of my eye to see him keeping pace with my perfectly, a smile on his face. I sighed, annoyed.

I walked down the isle to the super glue and stopped. Thomas bumped into when I stopped. I almost fell over but, quickly regained my balance before I toppled over.

Thomas started to laugh hysterically. I crossed my arms and glared at him. In response he laughed harder. 

"Shut up!" I pouted.

He patted my head as he said in a baby voice, "Oh, is little Alex upset?"

I growled and turned my head to look away, "Yes I am. And don't call me little!"

He just patted my head and laughed, "Okay shorty."

I pushed his arm away from me and quickly grabbed a random bottle of super glue. I threw it in the basket and turned to walk back the way I had come.

I looked back to see Thomas looked confused then turn around, spot me, and hurry on over. I laughed.

"What?" He asked.

"Its nothing," I laughed.
