[her; Alex Alvarez]

Alex, elena and I were sitting at the table. I was using my phone, looking at pictures of Corbyn Besson. Alex laughed at his phone. Elena snatched the phone from his hands. "Oh! I love you from P. Who's P? I thought you and Aaliyah were dating." Well I was gonna laugh but I guess not anymore. Alex has been texting his dad. To cover it up he says that he got a girlfriend. I know it's not true but it still hurts. Alex and I looked down for a split second, blushing. Alex sighed, looking back up. "Its papito. I text myself encouragements." I laughed. "I love you too papito." He finished. Elena spoke up. "Look at you, all in love with your secret girlfriend." This conversation sucks. Elena giggled, me speaking up and cutting her off. "You're the one with the girlfriend." Pen walked in,"Hey guys, come on. No phones at the table." Her phone chimed. She checked it, and laughed. Whats with everyone laughing at their phones. Stop. We all looked at her weirdly. "What? This-this could be doctor Berkowitz." 

"Yeah right." I said

"But you laughed! Leslie's jokes are not funny. 'Knock knock, who's there's who cares?" I laughed with Alex. She's right.

"Well, he was nice enough to let me come home really do we could all eat together. He had plans so it worked out." Alex and I looked at each other. Rolling our eyes. I zoned out of their argument. Eating.

"Did he turn right or left out of the parking lot?" O my god. 

"Look, lydia. Just check his Facebook. Dr. B checks in everywhere!" Aled backed me up. "Yeah. Last week he checked into his attorneys office and wrote 'hashtag my daughter is suing me.'" I giggled. Leslie can be dumb.

"Syd and I would NEVER stalked each other on social media." 

"I dont want to stalk to him! I just want to know exactly where he is and follow him there!"I rolled my eyes. Lydia co tinued,"Show me, papito." I pulled out my phone, going to his Facebook. I gave my phone to Alex, and he showed Lydia. They talked about how he was at the opera and how Lydia always goes with him. She seemed genuinely mad. She stood up from the table, walking to her room. "Abuelita. Are you okay?" Alex asked.

"I am fine papito. I am very, how do you say. Very chill. ¡carajo!" She slammed together her curtains, and they fell. 

"Yea, that ain't chill." We all laughed, going back to our food.

Alex and I walked into the kitchen. I had been begging him to come with me to get ice cream, and now that Elena was annoying him, he agreed. My smile sulked as Elena contiued,"So your secret girlfriend is.. P Pear, Patricia, Padmini..." she gasped. I looked over at her, hopeful that shed given up. "Maybe P's not a student. Mrs. Perez the lunch lady?!??!!" I gagged. Alex made a disgusted face, looking at his sister. "Yea, I have a thing for hair nets and tater-breath." I gagged again. Suddenly, I didnt want ice cream anymore. I dropped the scooper into the sink, giving up. Alex and I walked away, Elena continuing to bug her brother. "I am going to find out who your secret girlfriend is." We heard Pen yelling from the living room, but we couldn't make out the muffled noise.
