Date: 10/6/17

I look out the window and see March, James, and Dan walking out of the building. The whole class is walking out. I wonder why.

"Alex" the nurse says and I turn my head "You can go back to class, I will write you a pass" she says and I nod my head. Justin went to class a few minutes ago. She writes me a pass and I start to walk back to class. I am stopped by getting light headed. I look around and know something is off. There is not one kid in the halls, strange. I continue to walk back to class. When I get there I sit down next to Justin.

"Hey Ally" he says

"Hey Justin" I say and look over at the two people sitting across from me, Megan and May. "Hey guys" I say

"Are you okay" They both ask at the same time.

"Yeah I think so" I say

"We are still hanging out later right?" May asks

"Of course" I say and look over at Justin. He is looking down at me smiling. I can tell I am blushing and look away.

"Awe, our little Alex is blushing" Megan says

"Shush" May says

"Sorry" Megan says

"Guys" Justin says and we all look at him "Why are they outside" he asks

"I have no idea. Maybe class outside" Megan says

"No, they have projects to present today" I say

"Oh yeah" Megan says

"I wonder" Justin says

"Wonder what" May asks

"No, I just wonder why they are out there" Justin says and we all become quite. I start to think about everything that has happened today. I got punched in the face, had a flash back of my old school, and got asked out by Justin. I mean, he asked me out on a date, je did not ask me to be his girlfriend. I wish he would though.

"Alex" May says and I just look up at her "What are you thinking about" She asks and now they are all looking at me

"Nothing" I say and look back down at the table. Justin has been there for me since the day we met. I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. I don't remember too much because I was meting so many new people and no one really stood out except him. It's all a blur of that day. We were at a birthday party for May. I had moved here early in the summer and May was/is my neighbor. We became friends the day we met. I didn't know anyone else in town until the party, except March. May and March used to be best friends, then the three of us were best friends, then when Megan came, May and Megan got really close while March and I also got really close. Anyway, I was at the party and I was introduced to Austin, Dan, David, James, Justin, Liam, and a few other people who were her Family. When I met Justin, or more like, when I saw Justin, I was like 'holy shit he's cute'. I told March a few days later that I saw a really cute boy at the party. She freaked out. She wanted to know who it was and what he looked like. When I described how Justin used to look, she knew he was a good fit for me. She said she would set it up, but when she asked Justin, he said he never met me, which isn't a lie, he didn't met me, he didn't even see me, at least, I don't think he saw me. March did everything she could to hang out with all of us at the same time. Megan moved here our sophomore year, and everything changed. Instead of there being three girls and four boys in our group, it was even and instead of there being an un-written rule that we can't date anyone, we all started to like someone. May started to like James, I continued to like Justin, and I don't know about the others.

"Alex" Justin says snapping me out of my thoughts

"Yeah?" I ask

"Do you want to go in my car or March's later?" Justin asks and I just look at him. March, Dan, and Justin are the only two with cars. Usually the girls go in one car and the boys split up and go in the other two cars. But, now I want to go with Justin.

"I mean, wont James and/or David get mad if I go with you guys" I ask

"They can go with Dan" Justin says

"Sure, I guess I will go with you then, IF, March doesn't mind" I say

"Text her and ask" May says

"I am sure she will not mind" Megan says

"Yeah, but, before she came into the nurse's office mad at me because I asked Alex on a date without asking her first" Justin says and the two of them start laughing, loud.

"Shush" he teacher in the room says

"Sorry" they both say and look back at Justin and I. I wonder why they were laughing.

"Why were you two laughing" I ask

"Because Alex, March loves you like a little sister and loves Justin like an older brother. Of course she will be mad when two people she sees as sibling start dating, it's going to be weird for all of us at first" May says

"But, Megan has known that I have liked Justin since before Freshman year" I say and they all look at me in shock

"What" Megan asks

"Umm" I say but I am interrupted by Justin

"I didn't know you have liked me since then! I would have asked you out sooner if I knew" Justin says and now I am looking at him in shock

"You and I really didn't even start to talk until I was a sophomore, I mean, we were in the same circle of friends, but, we never really became friends friends until the beginning of my sophomore year" I say

"Yeah but I always thought you were cute as fuck, not to mention, the way you acted around us made me like you. Plus that smile of yours is to die for. One last thing, like I said earlier today, I would love to spend every second of my life talking to you" he says and now I know I am blushing like really badly. I had no idea he actually thought about me like that. I always thought he saw me as a little sister.

"Oh" is all I can manage to say

"Alex" Justin says and I look up at him

"I really like you" he says

"I really like you also" I say and he puts his arm around me and gives me a hug. When we pull away from the hug, he leaves his left arm around me, this is sure to get us in trouble when the teacher notices. For now she is reading a book. I start to think about what March will do when I tell her I am going in Justin's car later instead of her's. She will most likely get upset and yell at Justin again. I know when May started dating James, March made us have a girl's night before they had even been dating a week and made May dish all of the details. I don't think she will do this to me because she already knows what I think of him. I think Justin is really cute and handsome, I also think he is really sweet and stands up for what he believes in no matter who says what and what anyone thinks of it. Justin has a great personality and loves his friends. We are all younger then he is. So, he will always be somewhat like an older brother to me and will always be like an older brother to everyone else in our group of friends. He is nothing but nice to everyone unless you piss him off or hurt one of us, then he hates you with a passion. Like I said, he is the oldest so we are all like his little siblings, except me I guess. I must mean more to him because he is the football team caption and he could have any girl in school that he wants. But, for some reason, he asked me out. I am confused. Maybe he really does like me, I have never really had a boyfriend before.

"Alex" Justin says to me snapping me out of my thoughts. I look up at him.

"Yeah" I ask

"Class is over" he says and I look over at the clock. Class IS over.

"Okay, I will see you at the end of the day" I say

"Okay bye" Justin says as he walks out the door

"Bye guys" I say to Megan. She also leaves the room. May and I have last period together with David. It is college chemistry. We start walking to the Science area of the school. When we get to class we see David is already in his seat. Instead of two lab partners at our school, there are 3 lab partners. Of course, David, May, and I are lab partners.

"Alex Lewis" the teacher says as I am about to sit down

"Yes" I ask

"You are wanted in the office" she say and I look at May and David
