Alex ended up being pretty cool. We discovered we were so much alike. We had the same excitment about music, we talked about life and he ended up buying me peanutbutter ice cream.
It was the best.
As the days passed we ended up becoming closer and closer with each other. I invited him at the house a couple of times and we just sat on my room and talked.
We could never run out of things to talk.
"Mom told me you are bringing a guest today for dinner? Is it the little lover boy and his twin sister?" Hero told me leaning against the locker next to mine as I was putting my stuff in.
"Their names are Max and Bella, dofus!" I told him rolling my eyes. "And no, it's not them"
Hero has become clingier and more annoying lately. Whenever I'm round a guy he tries to play the "protective big brother" role. He followed me almost anywhere trying to make sure nobody would jump me or anything.
It was creepy to be honest.
Suddenly I felt two hands around my waist hugging me from behind and then I felt a pair of lips kissing my cheek. I turned around to find Alex staring at me with the gleam in his eyes that I started to like. A lot.
"Hey, dude. Hands off" Hero said. I rolled my eyes again.
"Shut up. We're friends." I told him and then turned back to Alex.
"I can't wait for tonight" he said.
"Me too. They're gonna love you" I told him.
Hero cleared his throat. "I don't know who you mean when you say 'they' but if I'm one of the 'they' I can I assure you that I'm far from loving him"
"I don't remember asking" I smiled at him sarcastically.
He let out a scoff and then walked passed us making sure to hit Alex's shoulder with his at the process.
Jerk.
"I really don't get what's his problem with me" Alex said.
"Don't mind him. All of his brain cells are probably on vacation" I said and we both laughed.
The rest of the day passed quickly and before I knew it it was dinner time.
We all guthered around the table. I was right. They loved him. Alex started conversations with everyone. I saw him laughing with Mr. Tiffin and then Martha. He even thanked Angela and the rest of the maids for their hard work. Mercy complemented his looks and his personality.
Everyone loved him.
Except one.
We all know who that one is.
Hero glared at him the whole time. He didn't say anything. He just played with his food and scoffed at himself whenever Alex was getting praised.
"So..." Martha started. "How long have you been dating?" She asked and I almost chocked on my food.
Hero, who was drinking water, started couching uncontrollably and Alex's eyes just widened.
"You guys are dating?" Mercy asked shocked before one of us could answer.
"Finally, Josephine!" Mr. Tiffin exclaimed. "You've been here for three months and you've never showed any interest about a boy, except from that kid you brought up to the house, Max innit? You are sixteen! Everyone falls in love at that age. Tell us more!" He said.
"Tell us about your first kiss! The first kiss is always the most important one" Martha said smiling.
Alex and I looked at each other.
