After class, Alex and I rushed to meet up with Dameon.

"Hey!" I yelled, as we spotted him

"Hey, Casey!" he replied. His eyes wondered over to Alex.

"This is my best friend, Alex." I said, not liking the interest he took in her.

I looked over at Alex. I could tell she thought he was hot.

"Nice to meet you, Alex." Dameon said to her in a tone I didn't like.

"Nice to meet you too." She replied as if she was saying 'that's right, you want me'. I scowled. He was mine. I saw him first. And I'm the one thinking like a 7th grader because of him. Got I felt pathetic. Dameon was smiling at her answer. They looked into each other's eyes for a long time. I felt so crushed, watching them stare at each other like that. In the mist of my sulking, Dameon turned and looked at me.

"We have to find my brother before we go to lunch."

"You have a brother?" I asked surprised. I silently wondered if they were twins. I smiled at the thought.

"Yeah. Well, actually I have two. But one is already out of school." He replied.

"Oh okay, so what class is he in?" I asked.

"I think he said his schedule said Ms. Butchers."

"Butcher?" Alex began. "But that's a freshman class."

"He's a freshman." He replied.

Alex sighed. She had an extreme dislike of freshman. Nonetheless, we went to Ms. Butcher's class. There was only one kid left in there, but he had light blonde hair and the bluest of eyes. This kid did not look like any freshman I had ever seen. He sure as hell didn't look 14, he looked at least 17 to me. And he was very cute.

"Hey bro!" Dameon said. The blonde boy laughed. I felt as though I had missed an inside joke.

"That's your brother?" Alex asked shocked. I was shocked too, but I wasn't going to say anything.

"Yep. Alex, Casey this is Fae, my brother. Fae this is my new friends, Alex and Casey."

"Hey!" Fae greeted us enthusiastically. He seemed like a very hyper boy. His voice was a little higher than most guys, but it didn't sound feminine in the least.

"Uh…hi" Alex replied. I just smiled at him.

Alex leaned into me and whispered "Midget."

Before I could reply, even though I'm not sure I would have it I could, Fae chimed in.

"I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat. Which ways the cafeteria?" I'm pretty sure that was the fasted I had ever heard anyone talk.

And with that we made our way to the cafeteria. Alex had 'He so wants me' written all over her face. Her liking him made me not like him so much anymore.

We ate lunch. Alex asked if she could show Dameon around instead of me. I told her she could. What did it matter anyway? I wasn't worth anything next to her. Of course she was going to get him. She was prettier, funnier, and guys always liked her more.

The rest of my day was spent ignoring everyone and acting like a little emo kid. Ronnie, my best guy friend tried to make me feel better, but he gave up after a few 'I hate my life' comments. I felt like such a pathetic loser.

To make things worse, I found Alex and Dameon making out after school. My heart sank. I would never be anything next to her.
