"The best thing's about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?"
Alex's cell phone rang.

"Yeah?" She answered groggily.

"Hey."

"Who's this?"

"It's Nate!"

"What? Nate, it's 4 in the morning! And how the hell did you get my number??" She yelled.

"I got it from your mom." He answered calmly.

"Why did you call, anyway?!"

"Hey, cool down. I just... I can't sleep..."

"Really? But, why didn't you wake up your brothers?"

"They'll just get mad."

"Oh... So when I get mad, it's okay?"

"No! No! I just... like to talk to you. Just like we did earlier... You know, serious talk."

"Oh... Okay, then... What would you like to talk about, then?"

"I want to talk about you..."

"Me?" Alex asked surprisingly.

"Yeah, you. I mean, do you have any problems? Maybe I can help..."

"Oh... Wait... can we just, like, meet up here in the living room? My dad's gonna kill me again if my phone charges go up through the roof!" Nate laughed.

"Okay, okay. I'll go there. Wait up, okay?"

"Yeah, I will."

They both hung up, and Nate went to the living room to meet up with Alex.

"Hey, Alex!"

"Sshh!! Our family's sleeping! Keep it quiet..." Alex whispered.

"Okay, okay... I'll whisper... So, do you have a problem? Like maybe a boy problem. I could help you with that. I'm a year older than you so, I've had much experience..."

"Well... I have a crush on this guy but he'll never notice me. I mean, all the girls have a crush on him..."

"Really? He must be stupid then... Well, if he doesn't notice you, don't worry. I'm sure there are lot of guys who'll die to be with you."

"Yeah? Well, they must be dead then. Coz no boy comes near me at school."

"Hm... Well how about OUT of school?"

"Out of school? Who?"

"Me."

"You serious?? I mean... We've only known each other for a day!"

"Yeah, Alex. But... I don't know... Okay... I'll give you some space and just think about it, okay?"

"Okay..."

Next thing they knew is that they fell asleep together hugging each other.

"Ohmigod, Alex!" Someone yelled.

"J-justine? What? Why? Oh My God..." She said when she realized that she was hugging Nate Gray As she slept. She poked him to wake him up.

"What..." Nate said.

"Nate... I think you slept in the wrong room..."

"Huh? I... Oh. I-I'm sorry... I... I've gotta go." Nate got up and ran into their room locking their door.

"Justine... please don't tell anyone... Mom and Dad are totally gonna kill me..." Alex begged.

"I won't. As long as you'll clean my room for the whole month..." Justine said.

"Yeah..." Then Alex suddenly had a thought. "Sure but, I WILL see your personal belongings and take a pic and post them on the net where ALL your friends could see it."

"Oh... On second thought, no thanks..." Justine said nervously as he backed away.

Nate tried to catch his breath as he shut the door behind him. His two brothers woke up.

"Dude! What happened?" Jason asked.

"I... I slept with her..."

"Slept with who?? You're not even legal yet!!" Shane yelled.

"No! Not "slept" slept. But you know, slept BESIDE her. Embracing her, making me warm and-"

"Okay, okay!! We got it... But who? Alex?" Jason cut in. Nate nodded. The other two gasped... and then laughed.

"Dude, only on your second day and you already got some moves!" Jason said.

"No... I mean... Yeah... I... But I like her! I'm serious about it!!"

"Dude, don't you think that you're too fast? I mean, you only met her yesterday... take it slowly and think before you act... The regret is always at the end, bro. Trust me, I know these things." Shane said seriously. "Look, I'm going to the bathroom, okay? And Kevin, talk to him, please." Jason nodded and Shane proceeded to the bathroom. The door wasn't locked so he assumed that there was no one inside. He went inside and looked at his reflection. Though it was odd that the curtains were closed and that he heard water dripping from the bathtub. The curtains began to open and...

God... Help Me. He thought. Alex came out... but of course, with a towel on even though it's only covering a small part of her - from the top of her chest to her thighs.

"AH!!" Alex screeched. "What the hell are you doing here?! GET OUT!!" Alex pushed Shane out of the bathroom while he blushed.

Alex got dressed and went to the dining room where they were having their breakfast. There, she sat across from Shane and beside Nate. She glared at Shane but he kept on eating while he was as red as a tomato.

"I'm finished!!" She said.

"What? You barely touched your food!" said Nate.

"No, it's okay... I don't have an appetite today."

"Why? Is it because..." Shane said.

"Shut up."

"Look, I'm sorry... I didn't know."

"Well you could've knocked!! UGH!!" Alex stormed off and went into her living room.

"What did you do, Shane?" Nate asked.

"I..."

"What? Tell us..."

"It's just that... I saw... I saw her... In her... towel... earlier..."

"What?! Are you serious?!"

"Yes... I'm sorry, Nate... But it's not like I kissed her or anything... I..."

"Shane... Whatever, okay? Look, if you DO like her, go ahead. I'll just find another girl." Nate got up and went into their room.

"You messed up, man." Jason said.

"Shut up." Shane went to their room's door and knocked. "Can I come in, Nate? I have to talk to you..."

"Yeah... come in. The door isn't locked." Shane went in.

"Hey." Nate smiled. "What's up, Shane?"

"Are you mad at me?"

"No. Why would I be? I'm over it."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."
