Alright, since I don't want to drone on with my extremely dull week, I will skip to next Monday (homeroom).
I looked around for Alex, but I didn't see him. This being said, I was forced to sit next to Danielle and Matt.
"Hey," I greeted Danielle.
"Where's your boyfriend?" Matt asked obnoxiously.
"Ha ha, so funny," I said sarcastically.
Thankfully, and coincidentally, Alex walked in the room with a tardy pass. He handed it to the teacher and came to sit down.
"Hey!" he said as he took the seat right besides me.
I turned away from Matt and Danielle to face him, "So, where were you?"
"My little sister slept in," he said a bit annoyed.
"Oh," I said, not knowing exactly what to say next. I hoped a conversation would just pop out of nowhere, but instead the bell rang.

So I'm guessing you might have forgotten about Danny, right? Yeah, the one who was my best friend when we were younger. It is about time he comes back into the story! I'm not saying it is a good thing, though...
I was walking out of homeroom with Alex. He then separated at the corner of the hallway to go to his locker, and me to mine. As I turned the corner, Danny ran right into me since he couldn't see me from where I was. Let's just say, we ended in an awkward position; I was basically on top of him, but I quickly pushed myself to my feet.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" he quickly blurted out as he grabbed his books and stood.
I sighed, "Yeah, I'm fine." The same headache I had from when Alex ran into me returned. I smiled at the thought of Alex and my first meeting.
"Okay, good. I'm sorry," he said again. He grabbed my arm to make sure I was fine. "Hey well," he said shortly after, "I have to go. I'll talk to you later, okay?" Then he left.
Alex saw what happened as he was walking to my locker to go to class with me. "Violet! Are you okay?" he asked as Danny walked away.
I laughed at his obnoxious sympathy, "I am fine; you worry too much."
He grabbed onto my arm to make sure I wouldn't fall over or anything. "No I don't, I just don't want anything-" he cut himself off, not knowing exactly what he wanted.
Suddenly I felt like I wanted to curl up in a little ball for the rest of my high school years. Danny had literally ran back into my life, but I already had something for Alex.
"Well I'm fine. Let's go to class," I said as I grabbed my book off the floor and began walking down the hallway. My voice was a bit harsh, but I didn't intend it to be so. I just suddenly realized my old feelings for Danny, but I had new feelings for Alex and I didn't know what to do. But then I quickly realized I had no chance with Danny anyway, so I felt a bit better about myself and Alex.
Alex looked at me with a disappointed face, "What's wrong?" His voice was sweet and caring. I felt bad for being rude to him. I slowed my pace down, so he could catch up to me, so we could talk.
"Nothing is wrong," I said trying to be kind. "I am sorry for yelling, though." I hoped he would forgive me and not be mad.
We continued walking down the hallway, with rude people pushing and shoving us out of the way. I jerked my head around, which wasn't good with my headache. Suddenly though, all of my thoughts and pains drifted away as I felt a hand grab mine. I looked to my side to see Alex holding my hand. It looked as if he thought nothing of it.
He notice that I was looking at his hand clutching mine. "Oh, I am sorry!" He quickly pulled his hand away from mine. I didn't say anything at first. Immediately as he let go, coldness came on me again, and so did my many thoughts.
I smiled as I grabbed his hand once again. "No, it's fine," I said, hoping it didn't sound creepy or anything.
I could feel him move closer to me, but I wasn't sure if that was him or someone pushed him into me. I kind of felt relieved, though.
We were about to walk into our classroom when I felt Alex pulled me into a small hallway (where the bathrooms and drinking fountains were).
I laughed slightly, "What are you doing? We're going to be late to class!" I protested.
He put his hand over my mouth, to keep me from drawing attention. He sighed to himself, "Alright," he said as if he were getting ready to say a speech or something very important, "I know we've only known each other for like a week or so, but would you ever consider going out with me?"
A sudden rush of happiness filled me and I felt as if Alex and I were the only people there. Sounds kind of creepy...yeah, well it was.
Usually with these sort of things I would tell Danielle first, and we'd have a huge conversation as what to do, but since Danielle was being stupid and lovey-dovey over Matt, I decided to do what I wanted. She probably wouldn't "approve" of Alex, anyway.
I smiled at him, "Well," I started, but he cut my off before I could finish.
"Oh, it's okay if you don't want to," he said, figuring "well" meant no.
I laughed, "No, that's not it. Of course I would."
I could tell a sudden relief went over him. He smiled at me and hugged me briefly, but then he felt uncomfortable. We both agreed we wouldn't take this too fast. We were still friends, and we would still talk as friends.
Enjoy,
