unlikely love letters // quackity

five // a small talk

  i had just gotten off the bus; automatically being greeted by a smiling ally. she let go of aksel, letting him go talk to alex and the rest of them while her and i got some time to ourselves. we walked into our school field and took a seat on one of the top rows in the bleachers. i looked down at the people walking around, some playing sports and some just socializing. ally finally spoke. "i had talked to aksel last night, and he said he'd talk to him today about it." i nodded, leaning against her shoulder. she pat my head, making sure not to ruin the double buns in my hair. "it'll be fine y/nn. trust me, we'll find this out." i sighed, nodding again at her words.

she then pointed over at aksel, alex and henry, who were all huddling together near the front of the bleachers. of course, ally has hearts in her eyes just looking at aksel while i was slowly beginning to daydream about alex but that's besides the point. after a little while, i saw hailey interrupt the good views. she's been after henry for the past three and a half years. i wonder when she'll ever stop falling for him.. but anyways- the minute hailey walked up to them, i saw a complete change in mood in ally. her eyebrows became furrowed and i could almost feel her blood boiling. the thing is, about ally and hailey,  is that they used to be the closest of friends.. until hailey dated aksel in seventh grade. she broke my sister's heart, and after that they've never had more than a two sentence conversation with each other.

ally grabbed my hand, dragging me down the long set of stairs. her face looked like she was about to murder her on the spot. "ally, calm down-" i said until she let go of my hand right in front of them all. she stood right in front of aksel before giving him a big kiss on his lips. i saw alex almost laugh, henry just stare at them, hailey with a bit of hurt on her face by seeing ally and i just stood there, watching alex. does he really think romance is this funny? are those letters really not from him?

after they let go of the kiss, i saw aksel in a state of confusion but love at the same time. she had her signature smile of 'i really just did that' on her face. in the corner of my eye, i could see a slight smile on alex's face too. damn, his smirk is something else. his everything is something else. he's so handsome is everyway possible- "mister, have you talked to him yet?" i heard her say, causing me to snap back into reality instead of my floating thoughts. "not yet sugar, i promise i will. i haven't forgot about it." he sighed. "well, you better tell him during first period or you're not getting your nighttime kisses tonight." she pouted. i saw him get puppy dog eyes, begging her not to give him a punishment and how he'll make sure he'll do what she asked of him.

i wonder how nice it is to be so madly in love like they are. especially with my crush. it would be like a movie playing the best bits on repeat. just enjoying one another. being in love. alloy snapped me back out of my trance again when she almost yelled at hailey. god, they'll never give up their drama, will they? "why, look who it is? after all these years.." she said, making hailey re-direct her gaze at ally. "oh boy, it's you. out of ALL people. you know, i wouldn't have suspected you to date a cutie, considering you're well.. how do i put this nicely?" she snapped back. "hey, hailey, stay in your lane you whore." i yelled. she scoffed and rolled her eyes, slowly walking away.

alex walked over the me, putting his hand on my shoulder. he looked in shock. "looks like you can really scare some people away, can't you?" he laughed, causing me to blush and smile like an idiot. for some reason, he always had a way to make me flustered. "alright there future love birds, sorry to interrupt but we have to get going y/nn." ally said, causing me to blush even more. alex had taken his hand off my shoulder, looking a bit flustered himself. i'm guessing it's just from being shipped often but, in my head i thought that he somehow liked me back in a way. it's probably just my weird imagination again.

ally linked her arms with mine before walking out of the field back into the school. "sis, did you SEE him blush back? my goodness, i'm promising you from the bottom of my heart it's gotta be him. no way around it." i chuckled softly before nodding slightly. "yeah, sure ally. it's definitely him." "it has to be.. also, did you know how good of a kisser aksel is?-" she added, causing us both to laugh a bit. "not really, considering i would never kiss your boyfriend even if there was a gun to my head. i would always make sure he's loyal to you sister." i said before giving her a small hug. she smiled. "and i'll always make sure if you ever get with alex he's just as loyal to you."

if he ever does get with me. i hope to god he does. i hope he was the one who wrote the letters, who said those amazing things about me and i hope to god he admits it to aksel. i just pray he loves me as much as i love him.
