Alex was known by everyone in school, while Harper wasn't.
It was hard for her. Harper always felt left out,
when Alex would be the one getting invites to parties, getting asked out on dates, etc.
Harper never even had her first kiss. But she would never tell Alex that, it would be two risky.
"Hey Alex" I smiled at her
"Harper! there you are!" Alex hugged me like she does every morning "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I paused "Why?"
"You're not wearing you're regular style for school" she frowned "You look normal"
"Oh, I thought I would change it up" I smiled fakely, the truth was, I was trying to be just like her.
"Uhm," Alex looked me up and down searching for the right words "I wore that yesterday"
"Oh" I smiled "Yeah, I thought it was a really cute outfit.."
"But you hate Hollister" Alex eyed me suspiciously "Okay, I buy it this time Miss." she laughed
I laughed fakely "Haha, yeah"
"So do you want to go to the mall later?" Alex closed her locker.
"Oh, I have plans" I said nervously
"plans? It's friday. You're never busy on friday" Alex frowned dissapointed.
"Well I do" I said, I was lieing "and I have to go, maybe you could ask someone else"
Alex's POV
What the hell was up with Harper? This wasn't like her.
"Yeah, sure" I smiled weakly.
I loved going to the mall with Harper, she was so fun to be with.
She was my bestfriend.
I walked up to Justin, he wasn't able to open his locker, again.
"Hey Bro" I smiled
"Alex, hey" he smiled "So do you think you could, well" he trailed off, embaressed.
"Sure," I spun the dial on his locker. click. the locker opened "Hurry up, you're guna be late"
I laughed and left him, I didn't bother asking anyone to go to the mall.
I could just go by myself. Friday was mall day with Harper, not anyone else.
I sighed, trying to pay attention but some girls were talking behind me.
It had to be the most annoying thing ever. I turned around.
"Hey, can you guys" I stopped as my eyes met Harper's "Harper?"
Harper looked at me and smiled "Hey Alex"
I tilted my head and squinted my eyes, this wasn't Harper,
Harper hated Nadine and Brooke. "Since when do you guys talk?"
Brooke's eyes lit up "What's wrong russo? Are you afraid we're going to steal Harper?"
My jaw slightly dropped "N-no" I turned around and sighed, still trying to concentrate.
The day went by slowly, I only thought about Harper. Why the hell was she acting so different?
Did I do something wrong? Finnaly, the finale bell rang, I rushed to my locker.
What the fuck? Nadine and Brooke were blocking my locker waiting for Harper.
"Uh, Brooke. You're in my way" I said, annoyed.
"Whoa, Alex chill" Harper said defending Brooke "I was just going anyways, common Brooke"
My jaw dropped "Go, go where?" I shaked my head
"Harper, you said you had plans, but with Brooke?" I rolled my eyes "What the fuck?"
Harper rolled her eyes "Since when are you in charge of who my friends are?"
"I never said I was! We used to hate her! Why are you suddenly her bestfriend?!"
"Well things change, Alex. Well we're leaving now, Brooke, Nadine, and i are going to the mall"
"Whoa. Harper, you broke the tradition, for them?!" Now, I was angry this was out of line.
'Alex, it's no big deal" she shrugged "You have pleanty of other friends" she walked away.
I banged my head on the locker, what the hell was going on?!
Justin walked up to me "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Harper!" I groaned
"Oh, you know she asked me out earlier today" Justin said.
"What?! She said she didn't want a boyfriend yet!" I frowned dissapointed. "Somethings up"
"Who knows, I said no anyways" he shrugged " let's get home"
I nodded "Okay"
