Alex is a guy. Just wanna get that clear.

"Five more minutes." I begged my mom as she shook me to get me out of bed.

"But you have school today.. And Alex is on the phone." she replied.

"Ugh.. Fine." I said as I snatched the phone from her grasp.

"Don't be on there too long. You need to start getting ready soon."

"Okay!" I shouted as I closed the door to have a private conversation. As soon as I said hello, Alex began singing into the phone.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday little darling! Happy birthday to you!" he sung into the phone.

"Little darling? Really Alex, really?"

"It's the best I could come up with. And you are my little darling. You know that, right?"

"Yes. I love you baby."

"I love you too."

"Are you coming to drive me to school?"

"Yea, I'll be there in an hour."

"Okay." I said as a smile crept on my face. We eventually ended our conversation, and I rushed into the closet to pick out an outfit. I decided to wear my white skinny jeans and an Elmo shirt. I walked into the bathroom so I could put on my eyeliner and tease my hair. I looked at my bleached blonde hair in the mirror. I began combing it out as my neon pink coon tails became visible. By the time I finished, Alex was already waiting for me. I greeted him with a quick peck on the cheek.

"Happy birthday, babe." he said with a huge grin. He took his arm and wrapped in a loving embrace before letting go and walking to his car. I loved Alex, but there wasn't that feeling of butterflies when he talked to me or hugged me; there wasn't that amazing feeling of sparks when he kissed me. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Alex opened my door for me. I hopped in and began getting lost in my thoughts.

~oOo~

We were almost to school when Alex's car began making a strange noise. Soon, it broke down two blocks on the way to school.

"Alex," I whined, "I thought you were going to get your car fixed. This is the third time it's done this."

"I know. I'll get it fixed after school. Come on, we'll just have to walk." Alex retorted. He hopped out of the car and bagan walking down the sidewalk. After a little bit of walking, we were across the road from school. Alex stopped and began searching for something in his backpack as I began crossing the road. When he looked up to see that I was almost to the school, he called out to me.

"Wait!" he yelled from across the road. I stopped and turned around. Without looking, he dashed out into the street. A worried look spread across my face as I seen a speeding car coming towards Alex.

"Get out of the way! Move, Alex! There's a car about to hit you! Alex, can you hear me?" I shouted. He never looked up from the ground. I soon realized he had his earbuds in. I quickly threw my bag down on the ground and rushed to pull him out of the way. One of the teachers saw me and grabbed my arm.

"It's too late. You can't go out there! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" she asked me.

"No, I'm trying to keep someone from getting killed!" I yelled as I began tugging at her wrist so she would release hold of my arm. She looked up and began to look at my sadly as a screech was heard. I turned to see what she was looking at. Tears welled up in my eyes as I seen Alex's dying body laying in the middle of the street. I turned to see the driver of the car. Of course, another high schooler who can't drive at all. I felt my knees go weak as I fell to the fround. I lost... Alex. I cried until I could cry no more.

I know it was a little rushed towards the end. Sorry for that. Since the preface was so short, I made the first chapter longer. Was it a fail? Umm, review please? For every two reviews, there'll be a new chapter before Sunday. Sundy is my updating day BTW. Soo, yea.
