just the way we are (jalex)

The beginning

Jack

My life is pretty normal. I don't do much beside school, hanging with my few close friends, and staying at home. Some might say I have it good. I have two great parents, and pretty good sized house, and I'm doing alright in school. My two closest friends are Zach and Rian. We have been friends since middle school.

"Jack, hurry up. You can't be late for school." I heard mom yell to me from down stairs as I was finishing up styling my blonde and dark brown hair. As I do I every morning I have  shower, blow dry, straighten, and style my hair. Sometimes its a lot of work to be me.

I go downstairs to find my dads already left for work and mom is already started on her cleaning. I kiss her cheek before I left the house on my way to school.

"Hey Jacky!" I heard Rian call as I just shut my locker.

"Hey Ri." I replied. We walked to class talking about little things. Me and Rian share first block together so it was almost an everyday thing for us to walk to class together. We went into English and sat down waiting for class to start.

The bell rang not shortly after. The teacher came with some one behind her. That was odd cause every one was in class already. When he came into view. I gasped. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was just too beautiful. All the way from his messy brown hair to his plain black v-neck T-shirt to his red skinny jeans that just fit his body perfectly. It felt as if time stopped. I couldn't stop staring. He was gorgeous. I mentally slapped myself to stop thinking of him like that because he was probably straight. And would be repulsed by some guy hitting on him.

"Alex, you can sit over there." The teacher told the boy and point to the only empty desk that was beside me. I tried to hide my smile.

"Hey I'm Jack Barakat." I turned to Alex with my surprise and talked to him.

"I'm Alex." He replied with a small smile.

"So where ya from?"

"This little town on the outskirts of London, England."

"Oh, wow. You came a long way than."

"Yeah."

I was than cut off of my conversation because the teacher wanted to start class. I can't believe I had the courage to talk to him. A blush came in my cheeks just thinking about me and him becoming friends. The rest of the day just went by uneventful, beside me asking if Alex wanted to come over and hang with me, Zach, and Rian. I also found out he plays guitar and sings. Ohh.. He just keeps getting better and better.
