ALEXIS ARE YOU LISTENING?" Asher snapped his fingers in front of me and I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, but what did you say?" I asked.
I felt bad for zoning out on him but I just couldn't help it. My mind had been wandering about that almost kiss that Nick and I nearly shared. But the real was did I want him to kiss? I wasn't so sure anymore.
"I asked where you went on Friday after school," he said once more. "I came to your place after practice but your mum said you weren't home so I called James and he, apparently, didn't know hence I ended up calling you but you also didn't pick up."
"Oh, I went out," I replied as we maneuverer our way in the school hallways.
"With who?"
"A friend."
"Which friend?" he asked as he pulled me to a stop by his locker. "Because as far as I know, I'm your only friend."
"Why do you want to know?" I smirked. It was fun messing with him at times.
Asher shoved his Math book in his locker and slam

THE WEEK FLEW by quicker than I expected. Each day after school, Nick and I would meet up in the library or coffee shop to study for the decathlon.We were growing more closer to each other than I thought possible and I felt this strange feeling each time I was around him or whenever he would smile at me or gaze at me when we studied.I didn't know what the feeling was but I liked it-not in a weird sense. But it made me feel good.It was finally time for the decathlon and I was beyond terrified and nervous. For starters, I didn't want to make us lose by answering a question wrong or worse still-failing to answer a question all together."Alexis look at me," Nick said as he placed his hands on my shoulders and used his index finger to tip my chin up. "Breath."I didn't realise I was holding my breath the entire time and I took a huge breath of air."Now listen to me, you don't need to over think anything. We prepared well enough and all I need you

HIS LIPS WERE so soft and warm and I froze. Nick immediately pulled back."I'm so so sorry," he apologised. "Alex-"I don't know what I was thinking, heck I don't think I was thinking at all. I cut him off by placing my lips on his and kissing him. He froze as well but soon began kissing me back. I didn't know what to do or how to move my lips but he seemed to know what he was doing as I let him lead the way. For whatever reason, my hands instantly found themselves in his silky black hair.He pulled back and placed his forehead on mine. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he said breathlessly."And how long is that?" I asked breathless as well."Three weeks ago," he replied. "If someone told me I'd be here kissing you, I'd have laughed at them and dismissed them as being delusional.""Why?""When I first met you five weeks ago, I actually didn't quite like you because you reminded me so much of someone I lost. And each time I

WHEN ASHER AND I pulled up in the school parking lot, Jake was by his car as he casually swung his car keys on his finger.I got out of the car with Asher following suit and we began to make our way to the school main doors."Alexis!" Jake shouted and he sprinted towards us. "Can we talk?" he asked then looked over at Asher, "in private?"I looked over at Asher who only shrugged. "Be my guest, I'll be inside with the football guys if you need me," he said and left the two of us."What do you want to talk about?" I asked as I adjusted my bag on my shoulder.Jake ran a hand through his hair, "I don't really know how to ask this but do you know what's up with Nick?" he said after a while of silence."What do you mean?" I asked. "Is he sick or something?""No!" Jake exclaimed, "he's just been acting a lot differently. He's smiling a lot and he actually seems happy after so long," he said. "Do you happen to know why?"I shook my head, "no b

WAIT! SO JUST like that he asked you to be his girlfriend and you said yes?""Yeah that's pretty much what happened during lunch."For the past hour, Asher had been asking questions about Nick none stop and I was growing agitated with the same questions over and over again.Asher was quiet as he thought of what to say. "Oh woah!" he finally said as he popped an M&M into his mouth. "I knew this day would come, okay scratch that, I always thought you'd be my cute innocent Alexis until we got to College but I guess things change."I glared at him from his bed where we were both sprawled with his laptop and a ton of snacks."Things change, people change," I did with a half shrug as I popped an M&M in my mouth. "And why the hell would you thing that of all things?" I asked as I grabbed some popcorn from the bowl."Oh, come on, you know what I'm saying is the truth," he said as he turned on his side to face me. "You of all people had a plan mapp

I WAS BY my locker when a pair of hands snaked around me from behind and pulled me into them. I tensed and tried to wriggle out of the person's hold but to no avail."Let go of me you psychopath," I said still trying to get out of their hold. "It's illegal to hold someone against their wish."The person chuckled and I felt my body vibrate."Woah! Alexis chill out," Nick said as he spun me so I was facing him. He pulled me in for a hug and placed a kiss on my forehead. His cologne enveloped me and I found myself nuzzling more into him as my eyes closed."Are you smelling me? Again?""No!" I replied and he chuckled.I wasn't about to admit that I was indeed smelling him because that would make me look like a creep. Yeah, not going to happen."You scared me idiot," I pulled away and smacked him on his chest as an afterthought, which only hurt my hand in the process. "Gee are you made of stone or something?" I asked.Nick chuckled once

HONESTLY I LOVE James but just no. He was in my closet flipping through my clothes as he tossed the ones he didn't like to the floor. He was being a complete nuisance as always."Get out!" I seethed from my bed where I had been texting Asher for the past hour.James turned to give me a cheeky grin. "Stop being so over dramatic," he said as he rolled his eyes. "All I'm saying is," he started, "I think that you need to wear something sexy, you know-to show your figure and all. And don't you tell me otherwise because mum told me you went shopping and you bought something sexy."I finally believe that I am cursed. Because this is just unbelievable. My mum and brother both ganging up on me like this was all the proof that I needed."You're a pain, did you know that?" I said sighing. "It's not even Friday yet and you're already planning on embarrassing me."James turned back to my closet. "I just want to make sure things are perfect considering its two days f

I WOKE UP with a massive headache and I felt completely and utterly weak to the core.Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked over at James' sleeping figure as he cradled me in his arms with low snores emitting from him."James," I said poking him because he is a heavy sleeper.He stirred and opened his eyes and looked at me with confusion before it finally clicked and he remembered exactly what had happened."Are you okay?" he asked with a concerned expression."I'm okay, I just have a headache and my body feels like I've been to hell and back," I joked trying to lighten the mood.A small smile appeared on his face before it completely got wiped off and was replaced with a concerned one. "You had me scared when you nearly fainted or fainted anyway," he breathed as he pulled me closer to him. "I'm going to tell mum and dad that you are up and have Dr. Dave come over," he said as he reluctantly let go of me and walked out of my room.I sigh

SATURDAY WAS FINALLY here and James couldn't calm down from how excited he was to finally meet Nick in person. He gushed over how they both liked the same basketball team and how he couldn't wait to see the signed Michael Jordan jersey.While I, on the other hand was a bundle of nerves. What if this dinner didn't go well? or what if I have one of my episodes and fainted while he is here?I grabbed my phone and called Asher who picked up on the third ring."What do you want Alexis?" Steph's voice asked irritated.Taking a deep breath, I slowly blew the air out of nose before replying. "Can you put Asher on?""No! He's busy at the moment," she snapped. "Don't you have your own boyfriend to talk too?""Actually, yes I do have my own boyfriend, but Asher happens to be my best friend and I'd like to talk to him," I said calmly. "So, would you please be a doll and give him the phone?"Steph sighed and I'm sure if she were here then she would be gl
