After about thirty minutes of fooling around in the beach we were all set to leave.
We walked over towards the car. Blake and Zoey walked hand in hand while Justin and Alex walked together talking and laughing about random stuffs.
After that session with Alex we didn't say anything to each other since then and the atmosphere around us was a bit tense.
The sun burned down my feet as we walked to the car.
"I'll drive"Blake said and no one Protested.
Blake unlocked the car and got into the driver's seat with Zoey who sat at the passengers seat.
I sat at the back with Alex and Justin who was busy listening to music on his earphone.
The drive back home was quiet as no one really spoke except for Zoey and Blake who spoke random words and laughed at weird things.
Seems like Zoey finally found her soulmate.
I stared out the window purposely because i didn't even wanna go into a conversation with Alex.
I felt movement beside me and then turned to see that Alex and Justin had switched seats with Alex now sitting beside me.
"Hey"He smiled and i ignored him and took out my phone with my earphones on, pretending that i was listening to music.
He sighed but kept staring at me making me feel really uncomfortable.
After about thirty minutes we got home and the guys went back with their cars. Blake offered to drop Zoey off and i had a feeling they were gonna be doing more than dropping off.
I went into the house hurriedly with Alex trailing behind me. I ran up the stairs and just as i was about going into my room,i was pulled back to the wall.
"Hey!"I protested as i saw Alex standing before me,his hot breath fanning my face as we were just few inches away from each other.
He was so close to me that the only thing separating us was the thin fabric of our clothes.
"What?"I asked.
"You've been ignoring me since, what's wrong?"He asked.
"Let go of me Alex I don't have your time right now"I said.
"Why's that? what's wrong?"He asked as his hand found it's way around my waist.
"What do you mean by what's wrong,let go of me!"I yelled.
"Why are you ignoring me Liv?"He asked.
"Because i don't like your face"I said.
"Really?or is there something more?"He said, tickling my bare skin.
"Let go of me skunk!"I jerked him off me and ran into my room immediately.
"I'll get you Liv"He groaned but i didn't bother to answer. I tossed my backpack on the bed and went into the closet to undress.
After undressing i went into the bathroom to shower and then put on my pajamas before retiring to bed.
Sunday flew by fast and before we knew it,it was Monday morning and i was having Chem test.
I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower. I put on a blue top with grey trousers. I packed my hair in a neatly tied ponytail and grabbed my backpack heading downstairs.
I and Alex hadn't spoken much since Saturday and i didn't see much of him at home.
I grabbed a left over sandwich from the fridge which i heated in the food warmer and ate before leaving for school.
I arrived at school earlier than usual. It was 6:45 am and the school was pretty much empty making me realize i had woken up rather too early.
I sat down in the classroom revising my chemistry notebook and soon after students came trolling into the classroom.
We settled down for our test and afterwards i went to the cafeteria with my friends as we talked over our food.

"Are you coming for Blake's party tonight?"Zoey asked.
"Blake's hosting a party?"I asked.
"Yeah and he has invited everyone"She said.
"Well he didn't invite me"I shrugged.
"He didn't personally invite you but he said everyone is welcome"She said.
"I'm not going,i don't go to parties i wasn't invited to and besides we both know I'm not a party person"I said.
"Come on babe,why does it matter if he personally invited you or not,come on the party will be fun"She said.
"Nah I'm good, I'll stay home,besides I'm having Calc test tomorrow so i have to study"I said.
"Come on Liv,we both know you'll pass the test whether you study or not"She said.
"And what makes you think that?"I questioned.
"Because you're Liv and Liv doesn't fail any test"She said.
"Liv doesn't fail because she studies"I mimicked.
"Come on babe,you know you have all the time to study after the party,besides it's an objective test, you'll do well, we both know that"She said.
"I really don't feel like going to any party, I'm not going"I said.
"Babe!"She protested.
"Don't babe me,now let's change topic"I said and she eyed me wearily.
"Fine then"She shrugged.
"About the beach on saturday, what's up with you and Blake?"I asked.
"I don't quite understand you"She pretended not to know what I was on about.
"Don't pretend Zoe,i saw you both making out"I said.
"Well.....i can say the same for you and Alex, I saw you guys in the water"She winked.
"Zoe... don't... don't try to avoid my question, tell me what's on with you and Blake"I said.
"Nothing...."
"Don't lie to me"I warned.
"Fine!we were just making out casually, like i told you before, he's quite hot so we were just hanging around"She said.
"Well that doesn't seem like hanging around to me,he drove you home for fucks sake"I said.
"And what's the big deal if a guy drops a girl home?" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Everything!we both know your parents are never home on saturdays and he drove you home, I know there's more to it"I said.
"Nope, he only dropped me off and then went home"She said.
"Fine then,lie all you want"I scoffed.
"Ok fine,he dropped me off and we sort of kissed and he asked me out on a date"She blushed.
"I knew it!But babe you know Alex's friends are much of a player as he is"I said.
"I know, I'm just hanging out with Blake, it's just a casual thing"She said.
"If you say so then"I sighed.
"So tell me,what were you and Alex up to"She asked, winking at me and i scrunched my face staring at her.
"Nothing,he was just pestering me as always"I said.
"Didn't seem so to me"She smirked and i furrowed my eyebrows.

"Hey Liv"Alex called.
"What is it Alex"I asked,my eyes not leaving the magazine I was reading.
"Aren't you coming?"He asked.
"Where?"I asked.
"Blake's place, he's throwing a party"He said and i looked at him from my magazine.
"I'm not going"Was my response as i buried my eyes on my magazine.
"Ok"He said and then the place went quiet. I thought he had left and then just as i was about to drop my magazine,i was pulled up by strong arms and was now placed on Alex's shoulder as he carried me up the stairs to my room with me yelling repeatedly and hitting his back for him to drop me.
When we got to my room,he slammed the door shut behind us and walked us to the bed where he dropped me carelessly as my back came in contact with the soft mattress.
"Hey why did you bring me here!"I yelled and sluggishly got up from the bed to face him.
"You have ten minutes to get ready, I'll be waiting for you"He said.
"What part of I'm not going did you not understand?"I asked,folding my arms.
"What part of you have ten minutes to get ready did you not understand?"He questioned back, earning a glare from me.
"Hey I'm not your girlfriend!"I protested.
"You could be if you want?"He smirked and i scowled at him.
"Nah, you're definitely not my type"I said.
"Then who's your type then?"He asked.
"Wanna know?you really wanna know?"I asked.
"Yes,tell me"He said.
"Guys with common sense and brains are my type and I'm very sure you lack those qualities"I said.
"Really?Well luckily for you, I'm blessed with both common sense and brains"He simpered making me to shrug
"Get lost Alex"I scowled.
"No seriously, you're going to that party with me,now get ready"He said.
"And what makes you think I'll go to some dumb highschool party filled with horny and sweaty teenagers?"I rolled my eyes at him.
"Because I said so"He smirked and i simpered at me. He simpered back and i took a step closer to him whereas he took retreating steps back.
"W-what are you doing?"He asked and continued to step back with each forward step i took until his back came in contact with the door.
"Oh Alex,sweet sweet Alex"I smirked.
"What?Why are you acting weird?"He asked, nervousness capturing him.
"Bye"I smiled.
"Bye?"He asked, trying to figure out what i was going at but too late. I twisted the door knob and he went crashing out the door. I slammed the door shut immediately and started laughing out my lungs.
"Have fun at the party"I yelled out to him amidst laughter.
***
I spent the rest of the night studying for my test before sleep had overtaken me.
I woke up the next morning to a very strong headache. My head was pounding as if there was a circus going on in there that i wasn't invited to.
I sluggishly pulled myself away from the bed and went to the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth and shower.
I put on a yellow t-shirt with black shorts and matching yellow sneakers. I grabbed my backpack and left for the kitchen where Alex was busy drinking water.
"Hey"I said as i walked past him into the refrigerator to grab a can of pepsi and then i shut back the fridge to face him.
Was he ignoring me?
"How was your party last night?"I asked.
"I didn't go"He said.
"Huh?why!"I exclaimed.
"Well, it's my responsibility to stay here with you and ensure your safety" He started.
Like i can't take care of myself?
"So i couldn't go to the party leaving you all alone here"He said.
"You know you should have gone,i could take care of myself just fine"I said, already feeling bad that i was the reason he didn't go for his best friend's party.
Alex was a party person and i wasn't. That's makes the two of us.
"Well had it been you agreed to follow me I'd have gone,i couldn't leave you all alone here" He said.
'It's not like your of any use to me here' I murmured.
"Huh?"He asked.
"Nothing,Look Alex, I'm sorry for being the cause of you not going to your best friend's party"I said.
Wait did i just fucking apologize to Alex?
What's come over me?
"It's alright"He smiled and left the kitchen.
Why does this feel so weird?Me and Alex are getting along?we aren't on each other's neck?
I put my pepsi into my backpack and left the kitchen heading out of the house to my car.
It took me ten minutes to arrive at school and i immediately went to the classroom to settle down, awaiting my teacher for the test.
After the test,i went out to the cafeteria with my friends for lunch break and we sat over our lunch, talking about random meaningless things.
Some time while we were busy discussing,Blake had come over to join us on the table and was busy flirting with Zoey to my distaste.
"Come on Blake"Zoey said, standing up as she pulled Blake with her.
"Where are you guys off to?"I asked.
"The library,we have to study"Zoey answered and dragged Blake away.
"Did that seem awkward to you?"I asked Jane who was busy munching on her fries.
Since when did Zoey start studying?and with Blake?
"What?"She asked, totally unaware of the situation around us.
"Nothing"Was my response as i glared at her weirdly.
One thing i was sure about was that Zoey and Blake were going to do more than studying and i definitely wouldn't want her getting heartbroken by Blake who i know is a player.
After school,i drove straight home.
I pulled into the parking lot and grabbed my backpack with me before leaving the car. I locked the car and then walked towards the house.
I pulled the door open to see Alex and some blonde making out on the couch.
"Ew"I said and walked past them to the kitchen. I grabbed a jug of water and went back to the living room.
I poured the water on them and Alex immediately got up from her, fixing his trouser.
"Are you crazy?"The blonde yelled as she got up alongside Alex, fixing her gown.
"You wanna know?you really wanna know?"I smirked.
"Alex who's she?"She asked.
"Just ignore her, she's no one"He said and took her upstairs with him.
I dropped my backpack on the couch and went into the kitchen to get something to dry off the wet couch.
After that,i went up to my room and took a quick shower. I changed into a grey hoodie and White pants, packing my hair in a messy ponytail,i left for the kitchen to make myself sandwiches.
Evening came in no time and i settled down at the couch with my eyes fixed on the Tv watching Nickelodeon.
Alex came down shirtless in only blue shorts and sat down across me. I pretended not to notice his presence and then fixed my eyes on the Tv.
"Liv"He called.
"What?"I asked.
"Can i ask you a question?"He asked.
"Um...sure"I said,still not facing him.
His next words were something that I'd never expected.
"Do you have feelings for me?"He asked, making me jump back on the couch.
"Sorry....what?"I asked.
"Do you have feelings for me?"He repeated.
"What do yoy mean by that?why would i have feelings for you?"I asked.
"Then why do you always seem to have a problem with me whenever i bring a girl home?"He asked.
"Because,this is my house and i hate seeing two horny teenagers making out in front of me"I said.
"Okay" was his only reply as he got up and left without another word.
That was weird.
