Deep Ink Love

Claire

Alex likes Missie and Missie likes Alex. There's no getting past it. They would be the cutest couple if they would just talk to each other. Missie is quiet and shy until you get to know her and Alex is outgoing and funny. They're the perfect match. They used to be best friends but drifted and Missie liked him the entire time. I couldn't blame her, he was quite attractive but wasn't my type. When I came out to Missie in 6th grade she supported me and I promised I never liked her and never will. She's like a sister to me and has always been there for me, whenever I need a place to go because my mom is pissing me off I'm always welcome at her place. Her mom treats me like I'm her second daughter and supports me with everything I do. Sometimes I think she is a better mom than my actual mom, she always checks up on me, always gives me advice when I need it, and when I need it she gives me money. I love her familyeven though it's just Missie and her parents which is very different than me, my five brothers, and my mom. With that many people and me being the only girl, no one really pays attention to me so I can really come and go as I please. I've been saving money since I was 12 because I knew I would have to buy my own car when I was older, lucky for me Missie's parents were trying to get rid of their car and they told me to just pay them what I could when I could and save my money for college. Back to Alex and Missie, his tattoo has been on the back of her neck since they got close. She swears that she is over him, but I don't believe it. She talks about him a lot and always mentions his snapchat story or if he likes her instagram post. They would be the cutest track couple ever. A loud whistle knocks me out of my daydream and I remember where I am and that I am supposed to be watching Missie's race. She obviously gets first like the badass she is and go to congratulate her with a fist bump. I refuse to hug her after a race because I don't want sweat all over me. "Claire you won't believe it!!" she exclaims grabbing me by the shoulders. "What do you want, Missie?" I reply. I hate being grabbed by the shoulders, so I slip out. "I saw my tattoo on Alex's arm!!" she whisper-yells. "I thought you were over him?" I question, while also laughing. "Not anymore." she replies with a smile on her face. "Fine, I'll ask him about it tomorrow in science." Alex is my lab partner which gets annoying because all he talks about is how much he misses his and Missie's friendship. He probably also hates being my lab partner because all I talk about is how cute his 16 year old sister is.
