Third Person Point of View

"You want to go on a what?" Zach asked, clearly very confused, as Alex, London and Jackson FaceTimed all of the guys. Alex I rolled her eyes at him and repeated what she said.

"A bender. You know, the sesh?" she replied. Each of them looked at her with equal amounts of confusion, not having the slightest idea what she was talking about. London rolled her eyes beside her, becoming frustrated.

"She means she wants us to go out clubbing and drinking" she said. At this, the guys' faces lit up with understanding. "I really don't understand your British nonsense" Daniel mumbled, causing Alex to glare at him slightly.

"Wait, why do you want to go out?" Jack asked, sending the blue-haired girl a questioning look. These guys weren't the brightest, were they? "We never celebrated when we released our cover and now that it hit ten million views, I say we do it" she explained with a shrug as London and Jackson nodded in agreement beside her.

"But all of us are underage" Jonah pointed out. Alex smirked at him, knowing one of them would say this. "Not in the UK we aren't. I know a guy that can get us in somewhere" she explained.

It wasn't that she was completly okay with underage drinking or clubbing, she just thought having the legal age of twenty-one in America was kind of stupid when it was eighteen in most places.

The guy's hesitated, looking at each other while wondering what to do. "Relax, you don't have to drink if you don't want to. I only do it since I'm already nineteen and the legal age is eighteen back home" Alex explained, not wanting to pressure them.

They all seemed to relax slightly at this and, after looking at each other for confirmation, Corbyn spoke up. "Okay. We're in" he said, smiling widely.

Alex's face immediately lit up with excitement. Tonight was going to be fun. "Okay, but no drinking for Zach. You aren't even eighteen yet" she stated, pointing an accusatory finger at him. The boy pretended to pout back at her before they both burst into giggles.

Soon enough, everyone waved goodbye and hung up the call. Alex collapsed back onto the couch as Jackson left to get ready. London looked down at her best friend expectantly and Alex raised her eyebrows questioningly at her.

"Can I help you?" she asked, laughing slightly at her. London rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "What are you wearing tonight?" she asked.

Alex looked up at her, not fully knowing what to say. She hadn't exactly thought about it considering she still had hours before they needed to leave. "I don't know. I'll find something later" she shrugged.

London seemed taken aback by this and Alex could have sworn she heard her gasp in shock. "We have to plan in advance! You need to look good to impress Jack!" she exclaimed. Alex rolled my eyes at her. She was still going on about this "Jalex" thing.

"And why do I need to look good for him?" Alex asked, her eyebrows raised accusingly at her best friend. She opened her mouth to say something to defend herself when the door to Alex's apartment flew open and a familiar brunette rushed in.

"So, what is Alex wearing to look good for Jack?" she asked without even saying hello. Alex's jaw dropped open in shock as London smirked at her. That was all the defence she needed.

Alex looked between the two girls in disbelief before sighing and giving in. "Fine. But if I look good it's for me, not anyone else" she stated firmly. She hoped that they'd eventually get it through their heads that her and Jack would only ever be friends.

"Sure" London said sarcastically as she pulled on Alex's hand, dragging her towards her closet. And that was how she ended up sitting on her bed as clothes were being thrown at her left, right and centre.

"London, I love you and all, but you're making a mess. How hard is it to choose one outfit?" Alex asked, looking at the mess her room was currently in. London simply ignored her and continued digging through her clothes.

"You've lost the plot" Alex mumbled, causing Christina to giggle beside her at her British slang. "Ah ha! I knew it was in here somewhere" London finally exclaimed.

Alex looked up at her to see an outfit finally picked out in her hands. "Well that took forever" she groaned as she took the hangers of clothes from London and left to try them on.

Alex didn't even know she owned these when she saw them. That was probably why London had taken so long to find it. However, they did look cute together, so she wasn't complaining.

She had chosen a hot pink skater skirt - something Alex would rarely wear but still loved - and a black crop top which crossed over her chest and across her shoulder. She decided to finish it off with some black heels and a jewel necklace before examining herself in the mirror.

She stood staring for a minute. She looked different, but a good different. She liked it. A lot. However, for some odd reason, her mind began to question if Jack would like it or not.

Taking a deep breath, Alex rejoined the other two girls, wondering what they would say. As she walked in, London smiled proudly as Christina squealed.

"Oh my God, you look amazing! Jack is going to die" she exclaimed. Alex smiled widely, ignoring the comment about Jack, and pulled her in for a hug. "Thank you for doing my makeup, I love it" she said. Christina laughed as she pulled away. "Please, I love doing makeup. Especially when I have a gorgeous model like you" she said as Alex rolled her eyes.

Before long, a knock was heard at the door. Before Alex even had a chance to get up, London was already opening it, clearly very excited. "Hey guys" Alex waved as Jonah, Corbyn, Jack, Zach, Daniel and Jackson all walked in.

Everyone began talking and forming their own little conversations immediately as they had gotten so used to doing. Corbyn went straight to Christina, kissing her on the cheek and telling her how beautiful she looked; London and Jackson were having one of their usual arguments and Alex and Jonah were laughing at Zach and Daniel who were messing around with each other.

However, Alex was too focused on the idiocy of the two boys that she never noticed Jack. He hadn't broken off into a conversation. Instead, he stood there, unable to take his eyes off of her.
