I smiled down at my phone. I wonder what Stephen was going to show me but whatever it was, I am excited. Despite everything that happened today; with realization I am performing at the lame talent show and more stupid Triangle texts, which I now know it is absolutely not my worst enemy, Alex. But after he tried looking over my shoulder and asked 'What's that?', I said 'Nothing' and shook the topic off completely. It definitely was just nothing.

I hastily looked up at the teacher and when he turned away, I quickly typed back a reply.

The bell rang and while everyone ran out the door, I slowly lazed my way out and to the cafeteria. Ruth decided to join the student council so she is always busy with lunch meetings to eat with me and I was so tired, anyways, so why waste the energy?

I dragged my feet outside of the cafe and onto one of the picnic tables where the bright sun shine poured. Opening my lunch was the last drop of energy I had and so I just sat there and stared at it. Too many things in my head; not enough sleep.

"Aren't you gonna eat that?" a voice behind me said

Oh no, I had to waste energy to make conversation with people I don't like.

I slowly turned to see Alex taking a seat next to me on the picnic bench.

And then finally, I lost it

"I am soooo tired!" I cried and slumped my head onto the table

Alex laughed. His laugh made the air lighter but I was too tired to figure out why

"Dont laugh! Cant you see I'm sleep deprived" I moaned, leaning in close to his face to show the dark bags under my eyes

He studied them mockingly seriously. I was awake enough to know that

"Not even foundation helped," I yawned my chin dropping onto the table again

"Dont use so much foundation! Its bad for your skin" Alex scowledlike a mom but I was too tired to care

"Do you even know who did this to me!" I shouted my words slurring together

"Who?" he asked

It only took a split second to think of the one word I couldn't help repeating

"Stephen" I smiled groggily

Alex's eyes narrow

"Its a good thing" I told him

"Its always Stephen this and Stephen that. Stephen the oh-so great!" Alex said sarcasticly "Shut up about Stephen for once you drunk woman!"

I studied him, my head still on the picnic table I could smell the decaying wood underneath my nose.

"Beause Stephen is so great. He is a great person, great friend. He has a great heart, great face. I bet hes a great kisser too!" I defended Stephen remembering that I hate Alex

"Your great Stephen has a girlfriend," Alex almost said too quietly to hear. Almost.

My heart sunk a little. Why did Alex have to say that? He knew I already knew. He knewing I was dying a little everyday from it.

That was the reason why he could never be my great Stephen. Ruth doesn't know. Stephen doesn't know I know. So why does the person that knows have to be such an asshole about it?

Without thinking, I started pounding my fists on his chest

"And Alex is a big meany! Why did you say that! Why!?" I wailed and finally gave up, stuffing my face in his chest, defeated and just tired.

"I..." I though I heard him say

I breathed heavily, many things swirling in my mind.Or maybe my mind was swirling.

Then, I felt Alex's hands raking threw my hair. Shivers went down my spin.

There was another secret Alex knew. My secret weakness; when someone played with my hair.

I felt his long fingertips run from my scalp to the very ends of my hair. I instantly fell into his arms, unable to take myself away from his fingertips. Wouldnt dare say it out loud but I missed his head massages and I really was enjoying them.

I opened my mouth to tell him to stop but nothing came out. I closed my eyes and sighed heavily.

"Sorry" I felt him say in my hair as he kissed it

My eyes popped open and my heart froze

I didnt know what he was apologizing for. For talking mean about Stephen? Taking advantage of my weakness or for being a huge jerk?

How about for breaking my heart?

It didn't matter. I haven't cared for two years and I didn't care two years later.

It's been a whole two years

I slowly lifted myself off of him, suddenly feeling self conscious and sat back in proper position

I wouldnt dare look at his face.

"Im tired! Make a pillow for me" Alex suddenly demanded like a little kid, breaking the very uncomfortable silence

Before I could react Alex's head had landed on my lap.

I stared down at his hazel eyes, caught off guard

"T-that..." I stuttered

"Hm?" Alex hummed his eyes closed and lips curved in a grand smirk while shifting into a comfortable position

"THATS NOT FAIR!" I cried "I'm the one who didnt get any sleep! I want a pillow, not to be a pillow."

I pouted, trying hard not to move. Alex just laughed that same laughed that left the same feeling

"Poor Levi-Bears" Alex purred while lifting his hand on my cheek

Did he just purr?

And why is he touching my cheek?

And Levi-Bears? I haven't heard that name for so long, my ears weren't used to it.

No, the more important question is 'why am I blushing and having this little bubbly feeling?'

Alex lowered his hand and slowly closed his eyes shut

"Good night" he mumbled threw smiling lips, his eyes still shut

"Sweet dreams" I mumbled while still pouting in my mind, 'Is he really sleeping here?'

I stared down at his perfect little face and couldnt help but admire his features. His long eyelashes, perfet nose, flushed cheeks, how his lips curved were two long slits of plush pink cuvred into the perfect smile and his chin was sharp but still rounded.

Why do people look so angelic when they are asleep?

Before I knew it, words started spilling out of my lips

"W-why do you look so innocent but..." I yawned as my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, "inside your just another heartbreaker?"

Why?
