Secrets

Waking up was extremely hard. I didn’t want to go to school and face Ally or Joey, not after I showed them how weak I can really be. I sighed, realizing that there wasn’t much I can really do about that. So, I got ready waited for Joey to pick me up for school.
The rest of the week went by extremely slow. But it was nice, actually having friends to talk to and hang out with. Joey took me to school every morning, I talked to Ally in class, all the guys ate lunch with us, that Logan kid would still come say hi then leave, and we would all hang out after school then go home.
I was relieved when it was finally Friday. After school right before we all split to leave, Alex pulled me aside and invited me to a party tonight. I told him I’d think about it.
“Talk to ya later, Jez.” Joey called from his car as he backed out of my drive way.
There was a note on the fridge from my mom saying that she had to go out of town for work with a list of chores to do over the weekend. I sighed and shuffled up the stairs to my room. Without changing out of my clothes from school I flopped on my bed and knew I was going to pass out.
I woke up and saw that it was about 6:30pm. Long nap. I reached my arms above my head and stretched and yawned making me feel like a cat after they wake up from a cat-nap. Rolling onto my belly I reached under my bed and pulled out my shoebox and pulled out the picture Jeremy sent me. I wasn’t sad anymore, just mad and upset at the fact that they left and now my brother is somewhere watching me and having people watch me. What is there to watch! I’ll give him something to watch. I threw the picture back in the box and shoved it way under my bed.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Alex, it’s Jez.”
“Oh?” I could hear the smile in his voice. “What’s up?”
“Well…I was sort of…kind of, wondering if that offer to go to that party with you was still open?”
“Of course.” Alex chuckled on the other end. “I’ll pick you up around, hmmm… 8:45-ish. That cool with you?”
“Yeh, sure. Just call me when you’re near Joey’s house so I can give you the directions here.”
“Mmkay, see ya soon Jez.”
“You too Alex.”
After I showered and straightened my hair I stood in front of my closet for what seemed like a million years trying to figure out what to wear. In the end I chose black jean shorts and a baby blue tank top with my black converse. Ten minutes later Alex called me for directions and before long he was at my front door.
“Hey Jez, you look pretty hot.” He winked.
I couldn’t help but to blush. “Thanks Alex. I must say you look pretty nice too.” It was the first time seeing him without that damn beanie on and his hair was pin straight and smooth. He was wearing a somewhat tight black shirt and red skinny jeans with black high top converse. I couldn’t help but to smile as I sized him up.
Alex grinned and flipped his hair, “Thanks. So ya ready to go?”
“Sure thing.” I closed the front door and locked it up and turned around to find Alex’s hand open waiting for mine. He closed his fingers around my hand and lead me to his car.
