"Hey Alex heard you got one of the best grades on the test, you want to explain?" She gave me that look she always does when I se magic and it ends up going badly.

Closed my locker and preceded to walk away but my scarf was caught on my door and I chocked.

I heard laughter behind me, that laughter I couldn't ignore, it was Justin's. "And you call me a dork"

I rolled my eyes and got my scarf loose form my locker. "You are a dork but my dork."

Harper looked confused. "Whoa did you just give him a complement or did you just flirt with your brother."

Yikes. The cats out of the box. I turned to face Harper. "Uh Harper there's something we have to tell you."

Her eyes widened. "Alex he's your brother, you know how weird and wrong that is?"

I nodded. "I can't help it. We fell in love, it was out of our control, it just…happened."

She shook her head. "You're saying you fell in love accidentally?"

Justin nodded. "I believe she is."

"Okay so you're together. Oh Alex I'm so happy for you. Max and I knew you two liked each other in more than the brother sister way and we knew you would end up together but I never would have guessed it would have been now. Wow Alex."

My eyebrows pulled together. "So you're not mad?"

She looked at me like I was crazy. "Why would I be mad?"

"Because you have the biggest crush on me that's why." Justin's such a dork.

She shook her head. "Had the biggest crush. Now I like someone else."

"Who?" My voice sort of went a little past a whisper.

She looked around the room. "This one boy from my English class. Mike, he's super cute and really funny."

"Go for him Harper, I know you'll get him." Hey I'm good at being supportive.

She looked at the ceiling. "I don't know, I don't think he likes me, let alone know who I am."

I smiled. "I'll ask him, don't worry."

"Thanks Alex. Hey we should get to class, we're late."

She's right, oh well I'm used to being late.

I turned to saying bye to Justin, he replied by kissing my cheek and heading to class.

After history class I walked up to Mike, oh he's the one with the dark brown hair spiked up some fitted blue jeans and a plain blue t shirt with some whit Nikes.

"Hey Mike do you like Harper yes or no?" There that's a good way to start a convo right, just go up and ask directly.

He turned around. "Harper, the one who dresses in food? Yeah I like her why? Does she like me?" He sounded hopeful.

I decided to play with his feelings a little bit. "No actually she hates you, a lot."

His face fell. "Oh cool."

S playfully punched his shoulder. "I'm just messing with you. She does like you, you should ask her out or something?"

He smiled. "Yeah I will. Where is she?"

"Uh I think she has history, I don't know go check."

And with that said he ran off.

See that was easy. I wonder why Harper found it so hard. I don't know maybe it's her.

After School

"Alex! Alex! Hey Alex!"

Harper ran to me, her flower dress (literally made of flowers) flowing behind her.

I turned to face her. "Yeah. He asked you out?"

She nodded. "Yes and I said yes."

"Great now you two can be happy."

Her smile fell. "But I don't know what to wear. He asked me to go see a movie with him this Friday. Ooh I know I'll wear a dress made of CDs no popcorn, no. Ooh how about- "

I cut her off. "How about a normal yellow dress with yellow flats and yellow necklaces?"

She nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Alex you always know the right thing." She hugged me. "We still on for the sleepover this Saturday?"

I nodded. "Yeah and you can tell me how your date goes."

"And you can tell me about you and Justin."

"I heard my name. What are you girls talking about?"

We both turned to face him. "Nothing." We both said it at the same time and laughed.

"Haha. I know where you live and I know where you sleep. Just watch till we get home."

Harper walked away. "Bye guys"

He gave me a stern look. "Come on so I can show you what I meant."

Max joined us on the walk home.

Dinner, the next day

"Kids your father and I are going out of town tonight. I know it's last minute and all but my mother needs us for something. So Justin you're in charge until we get back."

Justin looked up. "How long will you two be gone?"

Our parents didn't know about us. They also don't know we're holding hands under the table.

Mom answered the question. "We don't know. Maybe a week, grandma is very sick and she really needs us. Speaking of which come on Jerry the cab will be here soon. Bye kids."

Max, Justin and I got up and hugged our parent's goodbye. When the door closed and we were sure they couldn't hear us we cheered.

"Yes no parents. We can party." Max and I high five.

Justin stopped us short. "No I'm in charge. There's better things, like Max can sleepover at a friends house when Harper sleeps over here tomorrow."

Max agreed. "Yeah and then I won't have to see you two making out all the time. I'll go pack." Max headed upstairs.

That left Justin and me alone downstairs.

He wrapped his arms around me. "We'll have the whole loft to ourselves tomorrow what to do?"

I ran my hand through his hair "A lot of things. We can watch a movie or something."

"Or something." He said it seductively in my ear that it made me get chills.

So Justin and I will be home alone, that is until Harper gets here. Ma will be staying at a friend's house and Justin and I will be alone. I know I said it twice but it's fun to say. Justin and I will be home alone.
