You followed the fighting girls into the dining room, 

"H-Hey, nice to meet you Mr and Mrs Dunphy, I'm Y/N, a friend of Alex's.." You awkwardly introduced yourself.
"Nice to meet you too, call me Phil!" Mr Dunphy responded enthusiastically.
"Okay, great to meetcha Phil."  You felt more at ease with how welcoming Phil was.
"Yeah, call me Claire. And I'm sorry for interrupting whatever you and Alex were doing." Claire replied, feeling the awkwardness too.

That story kind of hurt you, for some reason. You couldn't figure out what on God's Earth was causing you to be jealous of a boy from years gone by, but your heart hurt each and every time she said she wasn't gay. Little did you know, she wasn't exactly telling the truth.

After the dinner, you and Alex went upstairs to her shared room with Haley and you managed to convince her to watch a movie with you instead of studying. She already had all her homework finished so it's not like it'd be an issue. By the time the movie finished, it was around 8pm and your dad called..
