A/N: If you see bad grammar, tell me. Then I will keep a closer eye on the next chapter.

I love you, my readers!

P.S.: Happy 4th of July! (To my USA visitors!)


"What did Harper's dad do to make your father hate him so much?" Alex asked, hoping to get a good story to pass the time in detention.

Jasmine started to talk, "Well…"

"It's that bad isn't it?" Harper asked.

"I'm not sure. But my dad was dating a woman. She cheated on him with your dad. Your dad knew my dad was dating her, since they were best friends. Your dad and the woman ended up getting married. And having you, I guess."

"Wow," Alex said.

Harper figured it was something her parents would do. They weren't the best parents, or the best couple. She guessed they wouldn't be very good friends either, or be committed to relationships.

"My dad got over the woman, anyways. He met my mom," Jasmine said.

Harper was confused, "He still hates my dad after all these years?"

"I guess, since he didn't want me to talk to you. He holds grudges a lot," Jasmine said, "He held a grudge against our neighbor's dog for a year when it pooped in our yard."

"A dog?" Alex laughingly asked.

"Yeah, my dad is weird," Jasmine said.

"Hey, do you want to come to my house with me and Harper?" Alex asked, "We're having breakfast for dinner, again. There's also a Johnny Depp movie marathon on TV we could watch!"

"I love Johnny Depp! I'll ask my parents if I'm allowed to come over," Jasmine said as she texted.

"We also need to do homework, Alex," Harper said.

Jasmine closed her phone, "Oh yeah, I have a lot of Geometry homework."

"Me too," Alex said, "But I could get Justin to do it!"

"Or I can help you two," Harper said, "I took Geometry last year."

"Stop bragging, Harper," Alex said.

"Alex, that's the level we are supposed to be at," Harper said.

"Oh yeah…"

"So are you two Juniors?" Jasmine asked.

"Yup," Alex said.

"I'm a freshman. My parents want me to take advanced classes to get a good job. But I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up!" Jasmine said.

"My brother, Justin, was in Algebra 2 in freshman year. He's such a nerd," Alex said.

"Oh Justin!" Harper said dreamily with her elbow on the desk and hand on her cheek.

Alex was annoyed, again.

"I'm guessing you have a crush on Alex's brother," Jasmine said to Harper.

"Yeah," Alex said making a disgusted face.

"Alex, if Justin and Harper get married, you will be related to Harper," Jasmine reassured her.

Harper put her hands on Alex's arm, "Wouldn't that be so cool, Alex? You'd be my sister in law!" Harper smiled happily at the thought.

"Eww," Alex said and slamed her head against the table.


Alex POV

The teacher dismissed us. Finally! I was getting tired of hearing how Harper's whole wedding with Justin will go. Gross. She planned me being the maid of honor. What would I say? My best friend is marrying my brother. Gross. End. Gladly, Justin doesn't like Harper in that way. Thank you, Justin!

"My dad said I am allowed to go to your house to do homework, Alex," Jasmine said.

"Yay, homework!" I said sarcastically. There was a Johnny Depp marathon going on. And guess what I had to do? Homework.

We all got onto the subway. Me and Harper stood up normally. Jasmine was holding onto the pole for her life. "Are you okay, Jasmine?" I asked.

"Yeah," Jasmine said, "I just haven't gotten used to subways yet.

We got out and walked home, and guess who was there? Justin. Harper couldn't stop staring at him. Disgusting.

Harper and Jasmine took out their books. I sat down on the couch, put my feet on the coffee table, and grabbed the remote. They can do homework as much as they want, I'm watching Edward Scissorhands.

Harper grabbed the remote from me, "We are doing homework, Alex," she gave me a Geometry book. So that's what they look like!

Harper's POV

Oh my gosh! Justin is here doing homework at the kitchen table! He can hear me teaching Alex and Jasmine doing homework. If he ever looked up. He didn't even notice us coming in. He's probably doing something interesting.

Jasmine was struggling a lot with her homework, but eventually got it. Alex wasn't even paying attention. She was drawing on her homework, again. Atleast I was helping one person.

Oh my gosh! Justin finally looked up! "Who's that?" Justin asked, motioning to Jasmine.

Jasmine looked shocked. She must be shy.

"This is my cousin, Jasmine. She just moved here," Harper said, "I'm helping her with her Geometry homework. She's a freshman."

"Oh cool, advanced classes," Justin said.

Jasmine nodded.

Alex's POV

Gosh, Jasmine seemed nervous around Justin. I hope she doesn't have a crush on Justin too. That would be gross.

Justin went upstairs to his room. He's probably going to play with his dolls, or 'action figures' as he calls them.

"Do you have a crush on Justin?" I asked Jasmine, hoping she'd say no.

"Alex, who a girl likes is her personal business," Harper said.

"I usually tell everyone I know if I get a crush, I'm not good at keeping my crushes away from people," Jasmine said, "I don't have a crush on Justin, though. I just get nervous around boys. Besides, he's too nerdy."

I started laughing with joy, "Thank goodness!" Someone who agrees nerds aren't good crushes.

Harper glared at me.

"So, who do you like?" Alex asked.

That's when Max walked in. Way to ruin it Max. We were talking about boys! A boy cannot be present when girls are talking about boys! That is just weird.

We all turned to look at him. Intruder!

"What?" Max asked sacredly and confused. He ran up to his room. Yes! We scared him away!

"Sorry, that's my little brother Max. He's weird," I said, "So, who do you like?"

Jasmine turned to look at the stairs, "Him."


A/N: Yay! Max appeared! What will Alex and Harper's reactions be? Find out next chapter!

Tell me if Jasmine ever seems "mary-sue-ish". I don't like mary-sues. I'm sure you don't either. So if she ever seems like one, tell me how she acts like one so I can change her. Thank you! :)
