After staring at my ceiling for like the longest time (five minutes), I finally got a plan. I'll ask Mrs. Renaldo if I can get a redo on the test and "purposely " fail it, we all know I was going to fail either way, or plan B I could go to that stupid math wiz junk thing and fail there. Either way I'm going to fail but plan B will embarrass Mrs. Renaldo for putting me in the top five. I'll go with plan B, I love embarrassing other people. Okay plan B it is.
I went to the bathroom and took a shower. After I finished I wrapped myself in a red towel and blow-dried my hair, after that I headed to my room and searched my drawer for a pair of my pajamas.
Right when I got out my pj's there was a soft knock on my drawer.
"Come in." Oh wait I have no clothes on, oh well it's probably mom to say something about school.
Wrong. Justin walked in; he was staring at his feet when he walked toward me. "Okay Alex I changed my mind, I'm going to hel- whoa you don't have any clothes on."
I looked at him and smiled. "Oh you know you like it, it's just my legs showing, relax."
"Put some clothes on." He used the stern voice he always uses when he tells Max and me what to do.
"Okay." I moved my hand to my towel and began to unwrap myself when Justin's hand caught me.
His eyes were wide with horror. "Whoa what are you doing?"
"Changing like you said."
"I didn't mean while I was in the room. Wait till I get out." He released me.
I rolled my eyes. "Okay then get out."
He fast walked out of my room and closed my door.
I quickly put on a white shirt with a blue peace sing and some blue striped pants then I headed to Justin's room.
"Alex you could've knocked."
"Could've, would've but didn't. Now finish your sentence before you got freaked out about seeing your sister in a red towel."
He didn't look up from the book he was "reading". "I said that I changed my mind and I'm thinking about helping you."
I sat beside him on the bed. "Okay what's your plan."
He still didn't look up to see me. "I'm busy reading, come back later."
I snatched the book from his hands. "Nice try but you don't read upside down, what are you trying to cover up?"
He finally looked up, but not at me, at the book. "Nothing now gets out."
I shook my head. "No, not until you tell me."
"Alex," His voice was stern again. "Leave me alone I don't want to see you, leave."
I threw the book at him and stalked out of his room.
I slammed my bedroom door shut and threw myself on my bed, I didn't cry thought I just bit my pillow and turned on my radio.
One hour later…
Again there was a knock on my door.
"Go away."
"Alex." It was Justin. "I need to talk to you."
"Leave."
The door opened, I flipped over to the other side, away from Justin.
Justin stood in front of me. "Alex?"
"What?" My tone was cold.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you. Do you forgive me?"
I sat up. "Why should I, you ordered e out."
"Alex," He really felt sorry for yelling at me. "Please Alex, can you forgive me?"
I turned to face him and smiled, he smiled too, and he knew he was forgiven.
I stood up, he wrapped his arms around me, and I wrapped my arms around him as well.
Three things happened next, first he stared into my eyes with a soft expression, then his hands went lower down my back and our lips met in a passionate kiss.
We were interrupted by Max barging in. " Hey Alex I need you to-whoa."
Justin and I pulled away fast. "Max it's not what you think, he was just comforting me, don't tell."
Max smiled. "I won't don't worry. Man it took you two long enough, I knew you would end up together, it was just a matter of time."
I tousled his hair. "And you never mentioned this before why?"
He shook his hair. "Because it would ruin you two and you would stay away from each other, duh."
Justin laughed. "Well just don't tell mom and dad, they'll totally flip out."
He nodded. " I'll leave you two alone." He left, closing the door.
Justin and I sat back on my bead, his arm was around me. "So, um are we like together now?"
I ran my finger up his chest. I shrugged. "I don't know, do you want to be?"
He kissed the top of my head. "Yes, defiantly."
I looked up at him. "Okay then we're together, but secretly. I mean how weird would it be if people at school saw us making out or something."
He laughed. "They might think we're a freaky close family."
I laughed along with him. "Yup. Oh my god what about Harper?"
"Tell her, she'll keep quiet."
"No I mean she still has a major crush on you maybe she'll freak or worse."
"Alex calm down and tell her. Or I'll let her down easy, tell her I'm taken."
I rested my head on his chest. "Or we could hint it, yeah let's hint it to her."
He kissed my hair. "Okay. Mmm your hair smells really good."
"I know. Hey you wanna hear my plan?"
He nodded "Sure?"
I told him my plan and he laughed. "That's a good plan."
"Yup and it'll embarrass her really bad, nice plan and I came up with it in five minutes."
He shook with laughter "You're so funny. Alex I love you and not in the brother sister way."
"I love you too."
He bent down and kissed me.
And that's how my brother and I became a couple. Next stop tell Harper, yikes.
