--Monday Morning--
*Alex's POV*
"There's one thing left to do." What did Sara mean--ohh about her parents.. I need to talk to her about that. But before--almost done editing a new video.
--5 minutes later--
Ah, done.
Now to talk to Sara.
Me: Sari, do u think it's right to tell them now?
Sara: I hvn't told them where I've been going for the 1 1/2 months Alex
Me: good point, but when do u wanna tell them?
Sara: ..idk
Me: Wednesday?
Sara: maybe. but i gtg <3
Me: keep ur eyes wide open for a new vid soon ;) <3
Sara: u & ur puns. bye yt <3
Now to write the big speech.
*Sara's POV*
Alex and his puns. But do I wanna tell my parents?--I mean 1 1/2 months, without them knowing! I guess it's time for this fantasy to end...
"Aw, don't worry, Sara. Alex will tell your parents how much he loves you, and everything will be fine," Maya tries to assure me.
"I wanna believe that they will come through, but after so many boys--my age, they've given up," I sigh.
"Aw, I have hope for Salex," Maya pats my back.
Hopefully, Salex will still be alive--as a friendship..or a fanship.
BUZZ--
"Who texted you?" Maya asks.
"Oh just a notification from Youtube," I shrug.
"C'mon, open it! I wanna see how dope Alex's cover from Havana got to this one," Maya insists.
"Sure," I open up the vid.
"Wow, impressive. I approve," Maya jokes.
I giggle, looking back at Alex's thumbnail.
--BELL RINGS--
"Spanish is next?" Maya asks me.
"You did that on purpose," I laugh.
"Maybe, maybe not," Maya couldn't hold back her laugh.
"Oh, Maya," I playfully roll my eyes.
"Yup. And I stepped on something," Maya chuckles. She picks it up and shoves it in her pocket.
"Maya, what is it?" I ask her, wondering why she shoved in her pocket.
"It's nothing," Maya tries to convince me.
"C'mon, Maya," I try to grab the paper from her pocket.
She sighs, taking out of her pocket, uncrumpling it.
"Omg, who--Hannah," I sigh.
"..I didn't want to burst your Salex mood," Maya frowns.
"It's ok, I was gonna find out eventually," I chuckle.
"Wait, but why would Hannah do this?" Maya asks.
"She's probably helping Andrew out--besides that fact, she hates me," I sigh.
"How could anyone hate on my best friend?" Maya embraces me into a hug.
I hug her back.
I hope Diannor are doing a lot better than Salex right now.
*Diamond's POV*
So that "one date" wasn't on Sara's birthday. Connor and I just talked a little and then we just went back home. I wonder when it's gonna be...
BUZZ--
Connor: u up for our 1 date?
Me: now?
Connor: i mean unless ur busy...
Me: nah, just chilling
Connor: then meet me at the park in 5
Me: since when do we live in the same community..?
Connor: no at Cherry Grove Park
Me: so basically Sara's neighborhood park?
Connor: just meet there in 5 & u'll see
I can't wait to see this date disaster...
--At the park--
"Hey, Di," Connor greets me, as I walk over to our picnic table.
"So what do you have planned for our "one date"?" I ask him.
"You mean first date?" Connor asks with a chuckle.
"No, I mean "one date"," I correct him.
"You're playing hard to get," he smirks.
I smile back.
"Well I wrote something, and I need your opinion," Connor asks.
"Sure," I nod.
He takes out his guitar from his case on the bench. (A/N: I think Connor plays piano, but not in this story ;)
This is gonna be interesting...
*Connor's POV*
Here goes nothing...
I start strumming and singing:
Never thought of you that way
Till now
Everyone expects us to be together
When we're not
It's the same thing every time
Oh yeah
Maybe it's true, maybe not
But closer and closer, each time
Makes me realize, you make me realize
We.. are meant to be
Meant to be together
Maybe not today
Not tomorrow
But one day
It'll happen
People think we know each other from way back when
Truth is, we're strangers
We don't even know
Why
How
We connected, I guess it just happened
But oh woah...
I sing the chorus again.
Hoping one day comes soon
My heart pounding for you
My feelings about to burst
But I'll wait
As long I have to
'Cause...
And I finish off with the chorus and play a few chords to end it.
"I know I was playing hard to get, but you got me hard," Diamond jokes, embracing me in a hug.
I knew that "one date" was gonna turn into our "first date."
"Omg," Diamond gasps.
"What's wrong?" I ask her.
She gives me her phone. I see a picture of Alex and Sara, in the background says," Sara Aiono?"
"Di, that's just a fan edit," I giggle.
"Well it says here, Hannah478 posted this. With a caption saying,"Looks like Sara knew Mr. Aiono from way back when," Diamond gives me a "mhm" look, while reading the caption.
"So maybe it isn't a fangirl, and is just one of Sara's classmates...that found out about her relationship," I agree with her.
I pray for Salex.
*Alex's POV*
OH GOD, PLEASE TELL ME THIS A JOKE. "Looks like Sara knew Mr. Aiono from way back when." NO NOT A JOKE. AH. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?! I need to talk to Sara about this...
Me: I saw Hannah's instagram post, we need to talk!
Sara: And I need to tell you what happened...
Me: meet at our usual at 5
Sara: sure
What does Sara have to tell me..?
*Sara's POV*
"There I told him," I sharply exhale.
"You told him about Andrew?" Maya asks.
"..no, I told him that I am gonna tell him," I nervously giggle.
"Well I'm rooting for you and Alex," Maya embraces me in another hug.
"This is the millionth time we've hugged..today," I tell her, as I hug her back.
"Well I can't help it..I'm scared of what's gonna happen--" I cut off Maya.
"Maya, how are you scared of something that's only gonna affect me and Alex?" I ask her, as we release from our hug.
"If something's gonna happen to Salex, then my best friend will get hurt," Maya sympathetically says.
Maya, you're such a good friend.
--At the park--
"Hey," Alex waves at me.
"Hey," I say, sitting down next to him.
"So what did you wanna tell me..?" He asks.
"Ok, so..Andrew--the guy that stuck tape all over my work for the past 3 weeks?" I start.
"He stopped?!" He asks in excitement.
I nod. "But.."
"But?" He asks, with a worried face developing.
"He..he asked me out," I spat.
"..what'd you tell him?" He asks, looks intense.
"I told him," I grab his hand. "that I was dating someone."
"And what'd he say?" Alex asks with a smirk.
"He asked who?" I tell him.
Before Alex could ask what I said. I spat," And I told him it was a very special person."
Alex embraces me in a hug.
"What're we gonna do now?" I ask him.
"We have to tell them," he says, grabbing my shoulders.
"Alex, I'm scared," I tell him.
"I am too--and nervous. But we have to do what's gonna be done later," Alex explains.
I give him a glassy look.
"We have to tell them before they find out in the most horrible way," Alex adds.
I just don't wanna lose you...
