Alyson's POV

YAY! SCHOOL!

I woke up and skipped all the way to my bathroom and hummed in the shower.

If you haven't noticed by now, I am overly excited for school. I just can't wait for history. I know Mrs. Mean girls leader doesn't want me near him but who cares I mean it's not like they're dating.

I got out my cute flower dress and a brown leather jacket over it with some combat boots. I put on some bracelets and put on my back pack and went downstairs. My brother was surprisingly up already.

"Hey, what are you doing down so early?" I asked

"Eh I just wanted to wake up earlier"

I noticed he was wearing more cologne than usual. That meant he liked a girl. He was also wearing his 'attracting girls clothes' which were his baggy black jeans with his red vans and a sleeveless shirt. His hair was purposely messy and actually looked good. 'Back in middle school' this would attract girls but now that we're in high school it might change. Guys like that never attracted me though. So I don't know how girls liked him.

"Wait a second" I said getting closer. "There's a girl isn't there?"

"Duh. You know me too well for me to actually tell you so I expected you to know. I'm guessing you like someone too? I can tell by the way you breath and look at me like you aren't paying the slightest attention and thinking of something else."

"Sorry, what?" I was dozing off thinking of Aaron.

"See?"

"See what?"

"Ugh nothing. Who do you like?"

"Um, Luke, isn't it obvious? It's Aaron. Have you not noticed the Aaron Carpenter goes to our school?"

"Um no not really. I've never seen him. Usually when you talk about magcon and crap I either doze off or turn my ears off"

"Well Aaron is the kid with black hair, brown eyes, sophomore, *gasps* OH NO!! TODAY IS HIS BIRTHDAY!! AND I DIDNT GET HIM ANYTHING!!! OH NO!!"

"Chill sis it's not the end of the world"

"Actually, yes it is. I haven't gotten Aaron a present. Oh no."

"Alyson, guys don't want clingy girls. You have to show him that you don't care and that you're life isn't based on him. Then he'll try to win you over. Guys like to chase girls."

Luke, for the first time in forever, was right. I can't seem like I'm gonna die because of him. He's gonna think I'm just a fan that's obsessed over him. Ok I guess I have to act normal.

"Well can I at least say happy birthday?" I asked

"Ya I guess that's alright. But say it at the end of class and act like you just remembered it was his birthday, ok?"

"Ok!"

*homeroom*

I walked to homeroom and as soon as I stepped foot in the class, I saw the mean girls. Gosh I had forgotten about them. I hope no one told her about yesterday because-

"Hey I heard you and Aaron had a good time last night" Vicky said as she approached me.

What does she mean by 'good time'? it's not like we had sex or anything. Gosh I hope no one spread rumors.

"Uh..... Um..." was all I could say

"Look you may think you're tough but at least I have an army. You get near Aaron and I'll make your life miserable. Well, more miserable than what it's about to be."
