Alex's POV

It's been six months since James had found me and now we are both living in my flat. Today was the day some good things happened in my life, which changed it completely.

Ring!

...

Ring!

...

Ring!

"Oh my god...who would call me at 5 past six in the morning?" I groaned to myself, getting up from my stack of pillows. "Hello?" I spoke into my phone.

"Hello, is this Alex Elmslie?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"This is Chamcil College (Obviously made up, I look at the champagne emoji and the pencil emoji. How creative.), you have been accepted. Congratulations!"

I almost dropped my phone. I started screaming while frolicking around my bedroom. I started spitting out anything they came to my mind into the phone.

"You won't regret this!"
"Thank you so much!"
"I'm really hungry!"

"Your welcome and...I suggest you go get something to eat."

I awkwardly laughed, instantly hoping that they forget about this phone call completely. The woman hung up the phone. I headed straight towards the kitchen, debating whether or not I had bought macaroni from the store. Checking the cupboards, I was surprised to see the last packet. "I'm having such a good day today!" I squealed while reaching for the macaroni. "Yoink!" James popped up behind me, taking the packet before I could even touch it. "Hey!" I folded my arms, trying not to smile. James three his arms up. "Sir, I swear I'm innocent! I've been FRAMED!" He proceeds to pretend to faint in my arms. I laughed. "I believe you." I say to him, putting him back up onto his feet. He put the macaroni packet onto the side, then tries to find a pot. I go search the cupboards again for something else to satisfy my human needs.

"Hey, lets go to the park later." James suggests while cooking his macaroni. "Okay" I shrug as I grab some super noodles. We both cook out food and sit down to eat. "Mmmm, these noodles are really good!" I said to myself. "Maybe I shouldn't have stole this macaroni from you." James says. I look down at his macaroni. "And maybe you should have read the instructions..." I tried not to laugh, but it got to me. I started laughing at his half-burnt-half-undercooked macaroni. "Okay 1, Who can't cook macaroni? 2, how do you undercook one side and then over cook the other?!" I say in between giggles. "Me...?" James shrugs, only causing me to laugh even more.

We were sitting on a bench, watching the clouds go by. "Nothing could ruin this day..." I smile. James looks into my eyes. "I know how to make it even better." He then places his hand on top of mine. "Alex Elmslie, will you be my boyfriend?" I stopped breathing. "Of course!" I jumped up, saying it with absolutely no hesitation. He gives me a quick peck on the cheek and we walk off into the distance, hand in hand. Who knew a cheeky little rat could help me so much? All he did was tell James where I was. Speaking- well, technically thinking of George, me and James ran into him. "Let me guess, you guys are a couple now?" He asked. We both nod with smiles plastered on our faces. "Awe, you guys look so cute together, smile! Wait...you already are!" George takes a photo of us. "Here, have this, I'm not going to keep it" He hands us our photo. An idea spiked in my head. What if I started taking photos of every eventful thing that happens in my life and not just scenery? I mean, why else get a Polaroid camera?

From then on, all I did was take photos. I took photos of everything, birthdays, holidays, I would even do photo shoots with Will's girlfriend, Mia! Then Goethe would go on about how the reason he hasn't found anyone yet is that every girl is a slag. Mia almost slapped him for that one. Anyways, we hung all of our Polaroids on our wall, over the bed.

Now everyone has started doing commentary, Will being the most successful. I mean, he had the verified tick on his Instagram, we are basically peasants compared to him. But we all have one thing in common, we are all happy.
