Alex's POV

When someone knocked at the door, Vicky looked annoyed and surprised, like she saying in her head, 'who the hell would visit me?' As she got up I couldn't help but smile, she's trying to change by focusing on me, but somehow we get interrupted…I'm not planning anything, well…Nothing too…Mature, anyway, I could hear Vicky, she said, "What a surprise. It's been awhile Twerp, why're you here? And how did you know where I lived?"

Wait, twerp…That's Timmy, why is he here? And who told him where Vicky lives? I know I didn't. I went to the door, and almost burst out laughing, Timmy was staring at Vicky like a deer that was about to be hit by a car, his legs were shaking and his mouth was open, like he was talking, but no sound came out.

"Hey Timmy, what's up?" I said and hid my smile, Timmy's eyes darted left and right, like he was thinking about running away, but then he noticed me. "I…I just wanted to talk with y-you…Just for a little bit…" He stammered, I cocked my head sideways, "Okay...?"

Vicky stepped aside so Timmy could come in, but Timmy just stood there. "Uh...It's actually a more private conversation...Sorry." He glanced at Vicky, she shrugged and smiled, "Understandable."

Timmy looked shocked, like he expected her to get mad or something. "I'll be right out." I told him. He nodded and turned. Before he turned, he sighed heavily. Vicky laughed as I put my shoes on, "Ah man, I think of all the kids I babysat, he had it worse, I don't know why I was always so mean to him, and maybe it was because of his teeth? Or maybe it was because he was so tiny for a ten year old, or I guess it could be because I was just a bitch that didn't care about anyone."

I can't say that's not it, because she knows that she was...Kind of mean two years ago, she asked me once and I messed up and told her that she was, but in the end she forgave me...After making me clean the whole house and make her something to eat. Anyway, I just shrugged, "I can't really say 'that's not it!' Because we both know you weren't exactly nice back then."

She gave me an evil smirk, "Even to this day I'm not...That nice, you know I still have a few my weapons, they don't hurt, but maybe after ten minutes of hitting something it actually might hurt."

I gulped and put my shoes on, "N-Noted..." I walked past her and she slapped my behind, I looked at her, she was smiling while opening and closing her hand, "Firm…" I walked out with a red face, the hell was that!? Is she trying to tell other people we have a thing? Or is she just messing with me? "Hey Alex I wanted to- what's wrong? Your face is red." Timmy noticed, I coughed, "No It's nothing...Anyway, uh, what's up?"

Smooth, "Oh, um. Well I talked to Tootie a couple of days ago, and, she…Uh...Well she and I are actually getting close, and we might be dating soon." That is not what he wanted to say, "Dude." I said and sighed, "What happened?"

"Dammit…Can't get past you."

"That's because we're so much alike."

"Heh, I guess so. Well, I wanted to ask what's up with Tootie and you."

I scratched the back of my head and told Timmy to come with me, I know for sure Vicky is listening, we went to a park that's not too far from Vicky's apartment. "Do you want the truth?" I asked.

Timmy nodded, "Yes."

I sighed deeply, "We don't have anything special, but she seems to like me in some way. I don't have any romantic feelings for her, I actually think of her more as a sister, we've never did anything, absolutely nothing is going on nor did anything ever happen between us that put you at ease?"

Timmy had a look of guilt, "I'm sorry…"

I smiled, "For what?"

Timmy said shyly, "For thinking you two…Had something going on, and for thinking that you two did something before."

He didn't ask me any of those, but I had a feeling that's what he wanted to ask, "It's okay, so, now can I ask something?"

Timmy nodded, "Seems fair, go ahead."

"You said you two are going to take it slow, does that mean you told her you like her?"

Timmy is shorter than me so when he's embarrassed, he starts to shuffle around like he needs to pee, "Yes…" He whispered, "What?" I asked, "Yes…" He said a tiny bit louder, but I like teasing him sometimes, "Sorry, you have to speak up."

"YES!" He shouted, his face was beat red, when I really get to him, even his ears go red, "Oh, cool! Man if you didn't want to yell, all you had to do was say it clearly."

His eye twitched, "I swear Vicky is getting to you. Every time I see you, you have this look like you're planning something, and usually you are, if there's anyone who likes her, it'd be you…" He stared at me skeptically, "She started to be nice to-

"Hey! Look at the time, I have to go now! Vicky might end up making me clean the whole place for taking so long, she's probably starving, see ya!" I cut him off and ran away, I really hope he doesn't say anything to Tootie or Vicky, otherwise he's in for a world of hurt.

When I got back Vicky was waiting outside on the balcony, "What did the Twerp want?"

Hmm, I can't tell her everything, so for now, until she accepts that everyone might find out one day, that she's changed to someone who's nice, I won't tell her, may the gods be with me on this one, "Tootie told him about what happened yesterday."

She had an amused look, "Looks like you'll have fun at home, so who got my room?"

I sighed, "Who else? Your sister."

"That's surprising, I mean she'd rather burn my room than have it…Interesting."

"Please don't go back and scare her into giving it to me, or I'll cut my week with you in half."

She had that evil smile, but she was glaring at me.

"You're getting awfully cocky, you know that?" Vicky said and gently ran her finger across my cheek, I gulped is that how I am now? Vicky grabbed my hand and led me back inside, "Maybe I otta remind you of who I am?" As she closed the door my voice came out an octave high then it was supposed to be, "Uh!-"

She started laughing, "Man I love Messing with you! I wouldn't actually do anything to you...Although not much." Vicky led me into the living room and made me sit down, "Pick something to watch while I order us something to eat."

I sat there completely confused, flustered and kind of happy? She's something alright, I never thought she would change so much after three years, a few minutes later she returned, and I still didn't turn on the T.V Vicky sat down beside me looking amused, "Didn't think it would shock you this much, guess I should tone it down a bit, huh?"

I still didn't turn it on, but I turned to look at her, "I'm thirteen, you realize that, right? And I don't go to school, so I don't really know a lot, and...And...-" I sighed deeply, "And my mind is going crazy, it keeps replying what you said, I'm not supposed to go through this kind of thing until I'm like eighteen, and I...I can't finish what I'm going to say because I'm freaking out!" I spoke quickly and gasped when I finished speaking, Vicky kept her cool, everything I said didn't really affect her, but she said, "I know. I know all too well man."

Timmy's POV

Uh...I think I may have got something on Alex...But it's not what I thought, because Vicky is just...The worst or at least that's how I thought she was when she used to babysit me. But Tootie says Vicky isn't as bad as I think she is.

As I walked back to my house I kept thinking about how maybe there's something going on with Alex and Vicky. But maybe there's nothing going on, and maybe Alex just thinks of her as a sister, just like how he sees Tootie as a sister. Or maybe I'm just over thinking it, maybe I shouldn't think about it at all, I mean she was really mean to me when she was babysitting me, so I can't think anything positive about her. I've been scared of her ever since she stepped into our house, just the sight of her makes me want to come home and hide under my bed.

As the day went on I kept thinking about those two, they're almost the same height which makes them kind of look like…Now that I'm thinking about this, I now realize how tall he is, I knew he was tall, but he's my age, and almost as tall as an eighteen year old. No matter how I look at it, I think those two are…I don't know, actually really close and they care for each other…? I laughed, come on! It's VICKY.

I looked at the time, why am I thinking so much? It was noon when I last checked, now its six thirty. I should stop thinking about them, I need to think about my situation, I like Tootie and I want to be able to do stuff with her, but I'm kind of scared, the last person I opened myself up to kind of stomp on my heart.

As I was laying on my bed my phone started ringing. The caller ID showed that it was Tootie Valentine, "Huh…Am I forgetting something…?" I answered it and said, "Hey."

"Am I being too pushy?"

Crap…I was supposed to talk to her today, "no…You aren't, I'm sorry I forgot, but I could talk right now if you want."

Tootie sighed and said, "It's only been a day, if you need more time, I can wait…I've never actually waited for your answer before, I've always just made you say it in front of me, which is why you hated me." She chuckled lightly.

"I didn't hate you."

"Please, the way you looked at me whenever I was around you always looked annoyed and mad at the same time."

That is true, but she doesn't need to know that, I was young okay? "It was mainly because of Vicky though."

"So you're saying that because of her, you started to hate me? Didn't I say that yesterday?"

"N-No! I was depressed partly because she always did mean things to me. Plus there's the thing with my parents, you know how they just up and leave me alone in this house and everything. Funny thing, when I was ten I kind of didn't mind, although when Vicky came over on the weekends, I hated it, but for some reason I always found something fun to do…Can't remember how I did that. So I never hated you…But to be honest – don't get mad – I thought you were…Annoying."

On the other end I could hear her struggle to hold in a laugh, "You don't think I notied? Please I'm not that stupid…Did I just call myself stupid?"

I laughed, "Yea, you kind of did. But don't worry, I do that sometimes too."

Tootie giggled, "I know. Remember, no one knows more about you than me."

I laid down on my bed, "I guess so, you could actually learn more, but later, okay?"

Again she sighed, but she agreed, "As pushy as I am, I'll respect your wishes."

For a few seconds it was quiet, it wasn't awkward, it was just nice, "Say Timmy?" Tootie said quietly, "Yes?"

"How long have you…You know…Noticed me – or liked me- I guess."

My heart started to race, in all honesty…I've always thought she was cute…But she was just so…You know, "Not until recently- but I always thought you were pretty cool, although sometimes it was a bit much."

She let out a laugh that made me feel like a kid, we're the same age, but they say girls mature faster than boys, "Thought you'd say that, but I guess I also thought you would just say you liked me for a while now."

"Timmy!" My mom called.

"Ugh, I have to go, gotta eat, wanna keep talking or..?"

She was quiet for a few seconds but then she said, "Nah, I've learned enough about you for today, I probably could get everything out of you right now, seeing as how calm and…Brave you are right now."

After that the line went dead, wait…What did she mean? She was the one who set that mood…I just kind of went with the flow, she's…Something alright. I sighed happily and went down to eat.

Sorry for taking so long to put this chapter up, I kind of lost my inspiration, but I found it again! After this chapter a week will pass in the story and then another year will go as well, like I said before I'm not good at other pairings and I've never worked on other pairings than my own. Also the chapters are going to be slow, got a lot of school work to do, but I'll try.

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesome week!
