Chapter 1
It was a regular movie night at my house at Friday night and my best friend was about to come over. She called me earlier to tell me that she might be a little later, 'cause her music lesson was delayed. It was over an hour ago when she sent it and she should be here any minute. And it was like she was reading my mind, 'cause right on that moment I heard the bell ring, signaling me that Mitchie was finally here. I smiled and went up to the door. When I came into the hallway, I saw that she was already in. My brother opened the door before I had the chance to. I really hate him for that. 'cause whenever Mitchie comes, he's always making sure that he can be with her at some point. And I know why, well it doesn't take a genius to see that; He clearly likes her. But the problem is, is that he doesn't even know her. I'm sure that he only likes her because she's absolutely gorgeous. But that isn't the point what I'm trying to make. Tonight was for us, as in Mitchie and me. Not my stupid brother!
"Hey Justin", Her angelic voice called out.
"Hi Mitch"
I cleared my throat, "Hello? Best friend over here, waiting for a hug!"
She giggled and walked over to me, "Hey Alex"
And hugged me tight. I leaned my head on her shoulder and pulled her as close as possible. We pulled away and looked at each other.
"Do you know what I like the most about you Lex?"
"what?"
"You hugs. Whenever you hug, you always make me feel special", she said with her famous, adorable Mitchie-smile.
"Well… you are special"
She blushed, "Thanks".
We were like extremely close. More like sisters, but different… Anyways, she walked over to the living room and flopped down on the couch. Justin, my lovely brother, was about to follow, but I stopped him.
"No way"
"what? Are you afraid that she actually might like me back?"
"No? Why would I be?"
"Because you like her? DUHH!", He pointed out like it was the obvious thing on earth.
"No I don't Stop saying that!", I defended myself.
"Keep telling yourself that…"
"Whatever! If you don't believe me, than fine. Come and sit with us", I jelled to him.
He smiled bright and walked over to the living room. I followed him and sat next to Mitchie while Justin sat down on the other side of her. She looked at me with a surprised expression on her face. I just shrugged and went to the DVD-player.
"Justin.."
"hmm"
"I don't want to sound rude, but this is kind of a girls night… and well you're not a girl"
I smiled victoriously… jackpot!
"Oh…"
I turned around and smirked at him, "to bad…"
"Oh shut up ALEX!"he said mad and stormed out of the room.
When he was gone Mitchie spoke up; "What's wrong with him?"
"Hormones", I simply said.
"Oh.."
I put the DVD in and sat next to Mitchie again.
"Do you think he likes me?", she asked out of nowhere.
"I don't know… why?"
She blushed and started to play with her hands, "please don't freak out.."
I smiled and took her hand in mine, "Of course not'
"I kind of like him"
My smile fell and so did my hand, "What? Why? I mean.. he's my brother that's just… weird".
"You said you wouldn't freak!"
"Oh, right… I mean. I think he does", I said.
"what?"
"I think he likes you too. I mean of course I need to get used to the idea of my best friend and my brother… together.. as in dating. But it's totally fine", I said with a fake-smile.
She sighed, " You hate it…".
"No I don't! I just need to get used to the thought…"
She smiled and turned her full attention to the movie, it was 'Mr. bean's holiday'. I'm in love with that movie! I've seen it like a thousand times. But I couldn't focus on that right now. The only thing that was on my mind was Juatin… He thinks that I like Mitchie, more as a friend. But I can't, 'cause I'm straight. And I mean even IF I like her, it's not like she likes me back, 'cause it's clear that Demi and Zac will soon be together. But yeah, as long as Mitchie is happy, I am happy too. Even if it's secretly breaks my heart even when I think about Mitchie being with someone else. Wait? Did I just say that it breaks my heart… Okay, maybe I do have some feelings for her…
I didn't notice until now that Mitchie went to the toilet and the movie was paused, 'cause she pocked my side. I looked over at her and saw her smiling.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah… why do you ask?"
"Just curious… you seemed a little zoomed out…"
I shrugged and looked over to the movie again. Right when I grabbed the remote Mitchie did too, Making our hand slightly brush against each other. I felt my cheeks getting hot and pulled away quickly. The sparks were still running through my hand down to my stomach, leaving a tingling feeling behind.
"Sorry", I managed to mumble.
She smiled and pressed play. The rest of the movie was fun. We laughed time to time. The movie was done by now and we were watching the end credits in silence. We were both deep in thoughts… I guess that she was thinking about Justin. How can she like him? I mean look at him.. and look at her. She's deserves way better than him… someone who loves her for who she. Someone who would never, ever hurt her. Someone who treads her right and not just dates her to get into her pants. Someone like… me. But I knew from the back of my mind that it would never happen. 'cause she's straight and apparently, she likes my brother. I still can't get the image of them together in to my mind. When I looked over to my right, to take a good look at Mitchie, I saw that she was smiling and staring into space. I moved my hand in front of her face to make her look at me.
"What?"
"Want to play truth or dare?"
She smirked, "Okay… you first".
"Okay, Mitch… truth or dare?"
"truth"
I knew she was going to say that, 'cause she always picked truth first.
"Is it really true that you had your first kiss in the boy's bathroom?"
She blushed bright red, 'How do you know?"
"Oh it's one of the rumors that are going through the school… So it's true?"
She sighed, "Yeah… it was with Zac, Zac Efron. He wasn't a jerk back then and he was my first boyfriend… It was so wonderful", she smiled and that smile quickly changed into a laughter.
"Yeah right! He had a zit on his lip and it was so gross! He tasted like cigarettes"
I cracked up and joined her laughter. After half a minute of laughing, it was serious again. Mitchie looked at me with curious eyes.
"Alex… truth or dare?"
"I take truth this time"
"Is it true that you like Nick Jonas?"
"What? NO!"
She giggled and shook her head. After a good 30 minutes of playing we heard someone coming downstairs. He walked passed the living room, into the kitchen. I heard Mitchie sigh, "Justin", she called out. He stopped walking and turned to Mitchie, "what?"
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean it like that"
He smiled, "It's okay, I understand".
"Hey, want to join us with truth or dare?"
"No.. I'm not really into games"
"Oh come on, just one round"
"Okay… fine"
He sat down and joined us. It was surprisingly fun… until Mitchie asked THE question. The question that would change everything and bring them together.
"So Justin. Who do you like at this moment?"
