The Heart Behind Those Glasses

13- Would You Like To Go With Me?

13- Would You Like To Go With Me?

"So, how was your weekend with your dad?" Roxy asked cheekily.

"Ugh. It sucked." I groaned.

Except for the part where I saw Alex.

Shut up brain.

"Amy was decent...ish." I shuddered, remembering her words.

Mia and Roxy laughed.

"Anyway did you hear about the party that Aaron is holding at his place?" Mia asked excitedly.

"Nope. And why would I care?"

"Because Chase invited me as his plus one."

"And Ethan invited me as his," Roxy said.

Then looked at me as if expecting something.

"What?" I asked

"Didn't Alex ask you?" Roxy asked curiously.

"Ask me what?"

"To be his plus one," she said as if it was obvious.

"What no. Why would he do that?" I asked confused.

"Because he li-" Mia started but then Roxy nudged her. "Oh uh because he likes tequila."

"What the fuck. What does that have to do with anything?" Roxy cursed.

"Watch your language kiddos." I scolded.

"Yeah. Yeah. One second I gotta talk to Mia. In private." Roxy said dragging Mia out of the cafeteria.

"Wow ok. Just leave me here. Alone."

"Talking to yourself again Hazel?" a voice startled me.

"Ah! Oh my god, Alex don't freaking scare me like that." I warned and he laughed.

"It's not funny," I said weakly. That made him laugh even more.

"So what are you doing all alone Hazel?" he asked resting his chin on his palm.

"My friends decided to ditch me," I explained. "They wanted to talk in private."

"Looks like we're in the same boat Hazel," he said.

"Your friends ditched you too?" I asked surprised. "Looks like not everyone wants to be with the all famous Alexander Anderson."

Then I ruffled his hair.

Why did I do that?

His cheeks turned pink.

"Don't mess up my hair," he muttered.

"You're blushing," I stated.

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."
