Please R & R!
As soon as the gang reached the car, Theresa shrieked, "Oh My God! I forgot to take your pictures! Just...wait for a second!"
Her words were met with groans from everyone.
"Oh, mom, seriously? I dont want to go there so late that I just get to pick up the leftovers of food from the floor! And taking pictures for such occasions is a stupid practice in the first place!", Alex said.
Jerry looked at his daughter and said, "Alex, dont be rude. And, its important to take pictures of you guys. One day, you people will go your separate ways, and these will be the only memories your old parents will have of you.", saying that, he dissolved into fake tears.
"Ah...dad your 'emotional blackmail' has gotten really old.", Alex said, but when Jerry continued his loud (and embarassing) wailing, Harper said hastily, "Shut up, Alex. Go ahead, Mrs. Russo. Take our pictures!"
Theresa flashed Harper a huge smile, and dashed back to her room to get the camera.
"Ah, Harper, you and your niceness is really annoynig.", Alex said, in a huff.
"Will you let it go, Alex, you are being such a killjoy", Justin said, rolling his eyes at his sister.
"What, you are defending Harper now?", smirked Alex.
The situation got really awkward. Justin and Harper avoided each other's eyes. Thankfully, Theresa came back at that moment and started giving directions for clicking pictures. Max insisted on having individual shots only, since he thought he should be the "centre of attraction". Mason and Alex posed for pictures together, which left Harper and Justin.
"Justin, Harper, dear, could you both pose for pictures together? You match well.", Theresa said, with a hint of a smile.
Harper and Justin looked at each other, and by mutual agreement stepped in front of the camera.
Justin hesistantly put his hand on Harper's waist, and her eyes shot up to look at him. He thought he exceeded his boundaries, and started moving his hand, till Harper said, softly, "Its ok, Justin, you can keep your hand there, you know. After all, we are friends."
Justin smiled at her, and felt a bit more comfortable. As their picturs were being taken, Justin mused over how easy and good it felt to have Harper so close to him. Its like our bodies were made to be close to each other. Oh, God, I did not just think that in my head. I need a shrink.
After the pictures were taken, another big problem was faced by the group. The car they had managed to borrow from their neighbour was a five seater, but Alex and Harper did not want creases on their dresses, and though Mason and Justin didnt admit it, they didnt want their suits ruined either. Max, as usual, didnt care much.
For a few seconds, they debated using magic to expand the space in the car, but a stern look from Mrs. Russo prevented them from doing so. Also, Justin and Mason fought a little to be in the driver's seat. The fight was won by Mason, simply because Justin got scared when Mason began growling.
Thus, Alex and Mason took the front seat, and the back seat was taken by Max, Harper and Justin, in that order.
Although Justin was a bit unhappy about sitting in the back, he couldnt help but notice how his and shoulders and knees brushed against Harper's ever so often. Every time he came in contact with Harper's skin, he felt like electricity was shooting up and down the entire length of his body. It was weird - he had never felt like that ever before - not even with Juliet. He looked discreetly at Harper to see what her expressions said, and noticed that her cheeks were blushing ever so slightly, and she her face showed a mixture of longing, pain. Justin was quite surprised by what he saw - Is the longing I see on her face for me? Or...is it for something else? Or maybe, just maybe, I am misjudging her expressions...
"Did you say something?", Harper asked him, shaking him out of his reverie, and making him jump.
"Wha...? Oh, um, yeah, I mean, no, nothing.", Justin said, sheepishly.
Again, Harper gave him her trademark smile, a smile that made Justin's hear thud loudly in his chest, a smile he felt had become their little thing. I should stop thinking this way. She probably smiles like that at everyone. I should get my head out of my...
They finally reached the school, and Justin got out cautiously, careful not to mess up Harper's dress. He held the door open for her.
"Thanks!", Harper said, her spirits rising, seeing the decorated school grounds.
Justin winked at her enthusiasm, and said, "Shall we go?"
Harper hesitated for fraction of a second, before linking her arms with his, and said, "Yes, we shall."
"Oye! Where do you think you are taking my best friend, my perky brother?", Alex said, sounding scandalised.
Harper and Justin quickly unlinked their arms, and Harper said, brushing away a stray strand of her hair consciously, "C'mon, Alex. Youre gonna hang out and MAKE OUT with Mason all night long...what will I do with you?"
"Um, agreed, I plan on doing both the things, but that shall be only after we go and make fun of all the other girls, visit the ladies room, and give a hard time to the DJ!", Alex said, excitedly. But suddenly Alex looked past Harper's shoulder, and her tone changed, and she said, "Maybe we can do that later. Um..I will meet you inside." Her voice softened and she said, "Harper, take care, and be strong."
With that Alex took Mason's hand and went inside.
Justin and Harper exchanged quizzical looks, and turned around to enter the school.
And then they saw the reason behind Alex's sudden change in demeanor.
Zeke was standing there.
Woah, ok, so I know the ending was a bit dramatic, maybe a little overdramatic...but, it adds on to the charm! PLEASE read and review! I will be updating soon!
