A Liar's Tale

Chapter 2

Dedication to @saarieee

"Mom, I'm going to Alex!" I shouted towards the kitchen just to inform my mum.

"Sure darling as long as you don't get pregnant!" She yelled back. I sighed in shame. My mum tries to keep up with time. She uses Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, she adores watching Teen Wolf just to have something to talk to me about, she is addicted to Instagram and worst of all, she uses ship names.

"Kimye is tha bomb. I'm so sad about Brangelina's divorce. Jelena should get back together" She would say. Most of the time she uses the famous ones, but sometimes she comes up with her own. And those ones mostly involve my life.

"Susan sweetheart, do you know who I ship?" she asked a while ago.

"No mum, I don't. Who do you ship?" I internally groaned, not wanting to know the answer, but I did just to let her have her moment.

"Susalex" She said proudly. I spit out the milk I was drinking and looked at her in shock. "You guys are so sweet together" I shook it of and didn't think about it anymore. That woman is crazy sometimes.

I arrived at Al's house and rang the doorbell. His mother opened the door.

"Hello Mrs. Riverdale, I'm here for Alex" I said and she let me come in. I thanked her and walked up to Alex's room. I knocked on his door in the rhythm of the Perry the Platypus Theme Song. It's humiliating I know. Alex came up with it when we were little. I was almost done knocking when he abruptly opened the door leading to me knocking him on the nose.

"Ow" He said, shooting his hand up to his nose.

"I'm so sorry Al, you okay?!" I was shocked. Awkward situation number four.

"Yeah I'm fine, come in" He said and laughed slightly. He opened the door for me to come in.

"But I haven't finished the theme song." I said wanting to continue knocking, but he grabbed my arm and dragged me inside.

"Al, what is going on? I always finish the song." I said laughing. However, I stopped as he pulled quite a serious face in my direction. "You did finish the song Sus, on my nose." He said. I blushed nervously.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked. I was excited, because it was a long time ago since we did something together.

" I don't know just talk"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I thought maybe.." I heard some noise from outside. Alex stood up and walked up to the window. "Oh no" Then before we knew it we heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

Suddenly Alex grabbed my hand and pushed me under his bed.
"I'm so sorry I didn't expect them to come and you know if they see us together... I hope you don't mind"

Then I was under the bed. Well great. Just great.

Then the door opened and they stormed inside.

"Hey bro what's up?" One of the guys from our school football team asked.

"I'm cool bro, what 'bout you guys?" Alex said back. He talked with another kind of voice, much tougher in a sense. The rest of the team answered with some grunts.

There was a lot of dust under his bed. I breathed some of it in. Oh no. Please no. No no no this is bad. I tried to contain a sneeze and it worked. I sighed. But then: *Sneeze Noise*!!!!!

All the guys quit there conversation and looked around to find the source of the noise. From my position I could see Alex rolling his eyes. I quickly looked for something to make them turn their attention to. There was a tennis ball lying next to me so I grabbed it and threw it towards the other end of the room. All of them turned and watched the random ball bounce around the room. The ball bounced towards the balcony and fell down into the front garden. Then one of them, I believe his name was Chuck, changed the subject and I was safe again. Pfeww that was close.

After half an hour the guys finally left and I got out from under the bed.

"Well this was great. I think I'll get going then" I told Alex rather awkwardly.

"No!" Alex shouted, making me jump. "I mean, please stay"

"Why? What if your friends return?" I asked. I snickered to myself. Star Wars: Return of the Friends. Hehe it has a ring to it. Okay, well never mind.

"They won't. I'll tell mum not to let them in"

"Are you 100% sure?"

"1,000,000% sure"

"Okay, then I'll stay" I agreed. "But first-" I ran outside the room and knocked the Perry the Platypus song again on the door. I heard an exaggerated sigh from inside and I laughed.

I opened the door and jumped back inside the room, pulling a weird face. He laughed and pulled me onto bed. There we were lying on his bed and facing the ceiling.

"I missed this you know?" Alex broke the silence.

"Well, you didn't show much of that do you? Don't you know how lonely I felt the last couple of weeks? I started singing an ABBA song and people heard me!"

"What did you sing?" He asked laughing.

"No, not saying that. It's to embarrassing."

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"I can still recall our last school year. I can see it-"

"Yeah, I would have been embarrassed by that" He laughed and continued laughing for ten whole minutes, so I pushed him off the bed. He slowly began to calm down and his face turned serious. "Suzy?" He asked.

"Hello, it's me" I responded. He laughed slightly.

"No but seriously. Sus, I want to ask you something."

"This is a free country. You can ask whatever you want.."I stated, but his look made me realise that he wasn't in a mood for a joke. "I'm sorry. Go on"

"I like you" He blurted.

" Hahaha oh Al you and your jokes!"

" No I'm serious, I have feelings for you.."
