Alex's POV:

God damn it! God damn it! GOD DAMN IT! How could I have slept in? Why didn't my stupid alarm clock wake me up? Now everything ruined! I thought all of this as I quickly went back to my room to get dress. I bet you're wondering "why are you freaking out? He's just a guy, right? What's the big deal?" Well, for starters, Bassy's not just a guy, he's actually my very first best friend. It's a miracle I even have a friend, in general. And no, I am not kidding. I never had a friend before. EVER. I tried, but I always scare them away, plus I'm a super human freak, remember! That thought stopped me as I reached the door to my room. Will he still be my friend if he knew?

Flash back:

"Hey…" I said, watching the chemicals boil in the flask.

Bassy looked up from his observation recording and gave me his full attention.

"Aren't you even afraid of me? I mean, I'm pretty much the most feared person in school." 'Not to mention a freak!' I added as an afterthought.

He hesitated for a minute before answering, "To be honest, you're more interesting than scary. I mean sure, you may look tough on the outside, but, on the inside, you're just a very quiet girl that no one understands."

My heart was particularly racing a hundred miles per hour. I just couldn't believe my ears. I had to be dreaming. I was starting to feel al warm inside. Was that even normal? Was he saying what I think he's saying? He nudged me and whispered, "Teacher. Look busy."

Still off who-knows-where, I grabbed a random flask with who-knows-what in it and was about to pour it in the boiling flask. But, before I could tip the flask any further, he said, "No matter what, though, you're still considered my friend, okay?"

I couldn't remember anything else after that except for the fact that I blew up the chemistry lab that day. But, I didn't care, I didn't bother putting on my rollerblades and just skipped home, giggling like a complete girly-girl. And one thing's for sure, I never giggle. I, practically, scared all of my brothers, who constantly kept checking my temperature to see if I was sick when they came home and found me baking cookies while, happily, singing the lucky star theme song in Japanese. And yes, I am an otaku. WHAT OF IT? But, the thing is, according to them, I don't bake cookies or rather I don't bake at all…. Don't let their lies fool you. I can bake… Just not with cookies before. The reason I was baking them was because they're Bassy's favorite sweet… Anyways, eventually I got annoyed by the constant checking and told them all to jump off a fucking cliff then got back to work.

I sighed and opened my door. My plan wasn't starting out as I had planned especially since I had failed to wake up at eight o'clock. I looked down to see my broken alarm clock on the floor. Well, at least I know why I didn't wake up on time. I at the clock on my wall for the time instead; it was ten thirty. I sighed once again and went into my closet and dressed in a black hoodie and a pair of black jeans. Yeah, I'm that simple when it comes to clothes. The only time I ever actually "dress up" is when I hang at a "good" party or at a night club. Other than that I really just don't care what I wear as long as it's comfy. I threw my dirty clothes down the laundry shoot and headed for the pole. I was about to slide down it when I realized that I left Bassy to be interrogated by my over-protective, older brothers. That actually frightened me, even more so when I just remembered I forgot to tell my brothers about Bassy coming over today. Oh, shit! And with that thought in mind, I raced down the pole, hoping my brothers haven't done anything bad to him yet, or worse…

Sooooo, How'd I do?

REVIEW!

Hope to update soon, but I won't if no one reviews.
