"Alex wake up" I nudged Alex who was sleeping softly beside me, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. He stirred slightly then slowly opened his eyes, grinning at me.

"I fell asleep again didn't I?"

"Yes, you better get home"

"Oh come on five for minutes" He said laying back down, pulling me with him

"No get your butt out of bed and get home before either of our parents notice"

"They aren't stupid Jasey; I think they've figured out that I'm here"

"Whatever, go!"

"Fine" He let go of me and crawled out of bed, slipping his shirt over his head "I'll come back over later with the gang"

"You're stalling"

"You love it" he kissed me on the cheek before slipping out the window. I laughed as I watched him struggle to get over the fence into his yard.

I had known Alex since 6th grade, when he moved next door to me. From the moment we met, it was an instant friendship. As soon as I hit highschool I realised I had feelings more than friendship for him, but didn't act on them until this year.

I quickly had a shower and got dressed into a loose fitting V-neck shirt and a pair of denim shorts. It was a little bit cold outside so I slipped on one of Alex's hoodies that seem to always stay at my house. I grabbed my bag and an apple off the table, thanks to Alex I was running late. He was already waiting for me on our front step.

"How did you get ready so quick?"

"Simple, you're a girl and I'm a guy"

"Point taken"

We walked to school, talking about the usual, music, school, and parents. I always enjoyed the conversations Alex and I had together, they were so relaxed. By the time we got to school everyone was waiting. I went straight to my locker with Alex and got my books. In all of my classes I was never alone; at least one other person from the gang was there with me.

"Jasey! Alex!" We both knew that voice anywhere, it was Jack. He and Alex are best friends and together they started a band called All Time Low with Zack and Rian. But before the band we'd all been friends for ages, including Kara, Rian's girlfriend. That was our gang and we got along pretty well.

The morning went by really quick and I'm glad when the bell for lunch went. Our table was in the back corner of the cafeteria, giving us enough privacy to act like complete idiots. I wouldn't say we were the most popular group in the school, we were known as the music and art freaks that just happened to hang out with the most popular guy in school, Alex. The guys had the band, Kara had her art and I had my camera and photography. Alex and I were the first to get to the table; I sat down on his lap and pinched some of his fries while we waited for the others.

"Hey!" Jack entered the cafeteria, you could tell it was him without even looking, he was that loud. He put his tray of food on the table and started stuffing his face while I just laughed at him. Rian, Zack and Kara came shortly after, making our quiet conversation even louder.

"Hey guys does this match my outfit?" We all looked up at Jack who had rice and lettuce all over his face.

"It looks great, new trend I think" Kara told him

"Jack how are we friends" Zack said shaking his head

"You look like a retard" Alex said grabbing a handful of fries and throwing them at him. The look on Jack's face was priceless.

"Oh that's it" Jack grabbed whatever food he could find and through it at Alex, but being Jack he missed and hit Kara.

"Bitch!" she said throwing food back.

That is where it began; everyone started grabbing handfuls of food and chucking them at each other. We even got people sitting at some of the tables around us involved. We were all laughing and having a great time until the cafeteria went quiet as a teacher walked up to us.

"Who started this?" she yelled Jack stood up grinning. The teacher rolled her eyes; of course it would be the infamous Jack Barakat. "Follow me" She turned on her heel and walked off. Jack followed her, but the turned around mouthing 'fuck yeah' to us then walking out. I shook my head at his stupidity. The bell went and we all grabbed our trays, dumping our leftover food in the bin on the way out. I

"Jasey I'll see you in bio" Kara called out, I nodded in reply before making my way to my locker, Alex right behind me. We both had a spare now, my favourite part of the day.

"So where to?" he asked

"I was thinking the auditorium"

"Sounds like a plan, I'll grab my stuff and meet you there" he kissed me on the cheek then left.

I took my time grabbing my books and decided on taking my camera with me as well. It went with me everywhere, nearly every time I left the house it was around my neck. I closed my locker and made the short walk to the auditorium. I opened the double doors and walked down the aisle of steps. Alex was already on the stage with his guitar, strumming a few familiar notes I recognised as one of the songs they had been working on.

"Hey there stranger" he said leaning over the stage to kiss me "get on up here you" I put my books down and he pulled me up onto the stage next to him. We sat there in silence as I listened to him continue playing, completely mesmerised by him. I knew how to play guitar and I could sing as well, but nowhere near as good as Alex.

I sighed as I lay my head down on the stage, looking up at the lights above us. I felt like falling asleep. Alex stopped playing and lay down next to me.

"Jasey?" he said

"Yes?" I turned my head to look at him and our eyes met. He grin appeared on his face as he gently kissed me, causing butterflies in my stomach. I pulled away smiling and leant my head on his chest while he played with my hair. As cliché as it sounds, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have Alex. We lay there for what felt like hours until the bell went spoiling the moment. I groaned as Alex got up.

"Come on lazy we have to get to class"

"Do we have to?"

"Yes" he jumped off the stage as I got up and grabbed my books then sat back down on the edge with my legs hanging over.

"Lazy shit" he said as he grabbed my around the waist to help me down

"Oh you love me"

"Haha I haven't decided that yet" he said as we walked to class
