"Alright class, you may now start on your reading assignment until the bell dismisses you. By the end of next week you should have already read the first ten chapters, be ready to discuss on Thursday!" The teacher instructed us, leaving the class to do whatever they want. Caitlyn and I both turn to face each other almost right away.
"Did you ask Mr. Smith about changing partners yet?" My best friend asks me and I groan, hitting my head on the desk.
"He won't let me, he's on his freaking period bro" I tell her and she chuckles, patting my head like a dog.
"I feel you, I asked him to change too and he completely shut me down. My partner's a dumbass, literally." She replied and I let out a giggle, nodding my head, agreeing with that statement. Out of all the people in the class Caitlyn got stuck with probably the second worst person ever. She's going to get stuck doing all the work, for sure. No one really knows if he's just too lazy to do anything or he's just that stupid.
We spent the next couple of minutes laughing and talking about how bad of partners we got stuck with. We were arguing to see who had it worse, and so far I was winning. Mid conversation, I felt a hit against my back. It was followed by low giggles in the background. I rolled my eyes in frustration as it continued. I faced down at the floor to see a bunch of paper balls near me. I turned around and saw Alex with her clique, looking around, trying to play it off.
"Speak of the devil" Caitlyn whispered when she noticed it was them throwing the balls at me.
"Want me to have a talk with them?" She asks and I shake my head.
"Nah, I got this, I'll be right back" I told her, standing up and walking to the back. The two other cheerleaders saw me approaching them and had a bitchy look, Alex was simply just ignoring me. There was a kid sitting in front of her, it was my perfect opportunity to talk to her. He was reading his book like a good student until I disturbed him as I flicked the back of his head.
"Move" I commanded at him and he scattered away like a frightened youngster. I sat down at his seat and faced Alex.
"Can we talk?" I ask and her friends just stare at me.
"Um can I talk to Alex in private?" I ask them and they sized me up and down. I sighed and called Caitlyn over. I simply tilted my head towards the girl and Caitlyn automatically got the message.
"Yo, there's probably some guys over there that want their dicks sucked. I don't know, you better hurry up before it's too late." Caitlyn dissed the two girls causing them and Alex to have their mouth fall open.
"Uh excuse me? Who the fuck are you talking to?" One of the girls spoke up. Caitlyn rolled her eyes and walked next to her.
"You both dumbasses. Now go! Leave" My best friend exclaimed but didn't do the trick. She shook her head and combed her hair back with her fingers.
"Fine, have it your way" She whispers, grabbing the chair of the girl who spoke up, yanking it from underneath her, causing the cheerleader to fall face flat to the ground. Caitlyn then turns to the other girl, narrowing her eyebrows. The cheerleader immediately stood up and grabbed her friend off the ground, walking away.
"Bitch" One whispered as they passed by us. I thanked Caitlyn and she fist bumped me, walking back to her seat.
"Sooo, wanna talk now?" I ask Alex again. She rolls her eyes angrily and leans her head onto her palm.
"We have to get through that Biology project together" I started off and she looked up at me, actually listening to what I was saying for the first time.
"I'm sorry for punching you in the face, ok?" I tell her and she sighs.
"Whatever" She simply says, not even apologizing for pulling off my own hair.
"Look, I understand we're both not so fond of each other but I also know we both can't afford to fail Biology. All we have to do is have just a bit of tolerance for one another, just until the end of next week. Can you do that?" I finished off. She stayed silent for a couple of seconds but then sat up and faced me, giving me a small smile. She sighed and nodded her head.
"Fine. I need a good grade anyways" She says and I smiled. I got up from my chair but continued to face her. I opened my mouth ready to ask a question but she grabbed her phone and started texting.
"My place this time. I just texted you the address" She simply said, reading my mind. And right away my phone buzzed in my pocket, I opened the text to see her address there. I closed it and put it away, nodding to her as I walked back to my seat.
"She took it well?" Caitlyn asks me and I shrug.
"I guess" I replied a little puzzled. About two minutes later the bell rang and everyone dispersed out of the classroom.

Caitlyn and I said our goodbyes as we walked out of the school building. I threw my stuff in the backseat and turned on the ignition of my car but still left it on the gear shift park. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and texted my mom, telling her I won't be home until later due to the project. I then proceeded to copy Alex's address onto my GPS. I reversed my way out of the parking lot and started driving to my destination.
I heard my phone buzz as I came upon a red light, minutes away from the cheerleader's house.
Call me when you're here, I have a guard dog outside
-Head Bitch
I rolled my eyes at the message and pulled up in her driveway. What she got a small ass Chihuahua? Please.
I opened the front gate and started walking to her front door. Halfway there a loud sound of barking startled me. I looked behind me to catch a German Shepard flashing its razor sharp teeth.
"HOLY SHIT!" I screamed out from the top of my lungs running away from the animal, calling out Alex's name as the beast kept following me.
"ALEX!" I yelled out as I continued to freak out, losing my breath.
"Chico sit down!" I spun my head to the door and saw Alex standing, commanding her dog as he did what he was told. She then looks to me and laughs.
"Pussy, you should have listened" She remarked and I flipped her off, grabbing a hold of my bag and walking up to her. She continued to laugh and I glared at her, walking inside.
"He's lucky I didn't kick him" I told her and she nodded sarcastically.
"Oh yeah sure definitely" She joked and I rolled my eyes. Damn dog.
She led the way into her room, other than the random barking outside it was pretty quiet inside her house. I looked around and noticed her parents weren't here.
"Where are your folks?" I ask curiously and she shrugs, opening her Biology book up.
"Don't know and don't really care" She simply said and I eyed her suspiciously but decided to drop it. I sat next to her, opening up my own Biology book, ready to begin our discussion. We decided to do our homework together first and then start on our project. I was five questions away from finishing until Alex nudged my arm. I looked up at her.
"What did you get for question fourteen?" She asks me and I look down at my paper quickly.
"Homeostasis" I replied and she nodded, writing it down on her own paper.
Moments passed and I kept searching the recent chapters to find the current answer. I felt an odd presence around me. I looked up and saw Alex staring at me and I rose an eyebrow.
"What?" I ask and she blinks, as if exiting her daydreaming.
"Just kind of surprised" She said leaving me confused.
"About?" I ask and she turns on her phone, looking at the screen and turning it back off.
"That it's been over an hour and we've yet to bitch each other out" She said and I giggled, nodding my head. It was kind of unusual for us to be in the same room for more than a couple of minutes without us yelling at each other.
"Look, I'm sorry for pulling your hair that other day, and for pushing you onto your locker and for throwing paper balls at you" She listed which caught me off guard. Alex Russo is apologizing? Especially to me. I'm getting punk'd for sure.
"Oops sorry I didn't catch that. What did you just say?" I joked, cuffing my ear and leaning towards her. She chuckled, catching on to what I was trying to do. She hits my shoulder playfully.
"Oh fuck you" She laughed and I looked at her then to my wrist, checking the time.
"Well damn, I mean if you want. I have a couple of minutes to spare" I responded and her eyes widened, mouth slightly opened. I laughed and looked at her.
"It's a joke, chill out" I advised her and she quickly turned her head.
"Oh – Haha" She forced a small giggle of nervousness. Weird.
We were finally able to start on our project, we agreed on something simple yet still interesting. We were discussing the whole structure of the idea, drawing it out, getting it organized. My phone started ringing behind me. I asked Alex if she can pass it to me since I was still mapping everything out. I asked her who it was.
"Best Friend" She read and handed me the phone. I picked it up and placed it against my ear.
"What's up Cait?" I said into the phone, dropping the materials onto the table for a moment.
"Yo can you check if I left my flash drive in your bag, I can't find it" She asked and I quickly took a glance inside my book bag. Checking inside and then the front pockets. I grabbed a small object and realized it was Caitlyn's flash drive.
"Yeah, it's in here, I probably took it by accident" I told her and I heard her let out a breath of relief.
"Alright, thank goodness. Just give it to me tomorrow." She finished off and I agreed. Then hung up the phone, picking up the materials again. I looked at Alex and say her filing her nails down. She glanced at me and back down at her nails.
"I don't like that girl" She told me and I looked back at her.
"Who, Caitlyn?" I ask and she nods. I laugh and kept on drawing on the paper.
"Yeah well she's not your biggest fan either" I honestly said and she crossed her arms, setting down the nail file.
"I never even done anything to her" The cheerleader defended and I sighed.
"Don't take it personally. She hates Cheerleaders over all. She thinks you guys are the biggest bitches in our school, which I guess is true in some cases, for some girls" I replied and she sighed.
"And I bet you agree too" She said and I stared at her, shaking my head.
"Sometimes. Some of your friends are bitches but I don't think you're that big of a bitch that you try to make yourself out to be" I replied honestly. She stayed quiet, staring at me momentarily. I gave her a small smile and she simply looked down at her nails again, not responding to my comment. A couple of minutes passed by and she finally spoke up.
"I don't think you're that much of a loser either. You're actually kind of cool" She said lowly, not looking at me straight in the eyes. I looked away too, trying to hide my small smile. I feel her body come close to mine, I then realize she just moved and situated herself next to me. I observed her momentarily and she did the same, surprisingly smiling at me in a genuine fashion.
"What can I help with?" She asks me, now facing down at the plan I drew out. I didn't notice I was gazing at her with a smile plastered on my face until she called out my name. Fuck.
"Oh um, I don't know yet, let's see" I said, looking at my plan as she did the same.

I handed Caitlyn her flash drive as promised. She was internally freaking out thinking she was going to get an F for the assignment. I was holding her camera while she transferred her photos. Once she was done, she grabbed her camera bag and grabbed the item out of my hand. We started talking about the pictures we were turning in, she showed me a couple of hers as did I. We began to walk away from our lockers, ready to go to class until Caitlyn got shoved full force into the lockers, causing her to drop her bag.
Her face completely transformed into furious, as she stood up. I looked at my right to see the same cheerleader that Caitlyn pushed out of her chair in class.
"You are so fucking lucky my camera was in the bag!" Caitlyn yelled out to her and the brunette rolled her eyes, laughing, crossing her arms. Caitlyn walked up to the cheerleader and shoved her from her shoulders.
"What the fuck is your problem!" Caitlyn yelled out and the girl stood up from the ground.
"You!" She screams out angrily, running up to Caitlyn. Only a couple of seconds later they were both on the ground, fist fighting one another. I yelled out to Caitlyn, trying to get her to stop before the teachers came.
Students started surrounding us and I grabbed Caitlyn's shoulders.
"Caitlyn let go!" I told her, attempting to pull her away from the other chick. She resisted and kept throwing punches in. However, I was finally able to pull her off the girl and held her arms tight, so she wouldn't try to continue. The cheerleader stood up, fixing her now messed up hair. I could see a bruise forming around her eye, I tried to keep in my laughter. The cheerleader stepped closer to Caitlyn but instead I stood in front of Caitlyn's body, still holding her back.
"I suggest you to turn your white ass around and walk away before she gets out of my hold. You already had your ass beat twice, doubt you want a third round" I spoke up and the cheerleader clenched her fists, looking at me straight in the eyes. I knew she was ready to throw a punch at me any second. Caitlyn was still struggling behind me, but I much rather prefer me getting in trouble for the fight instead of my best friend. I couldn't risk her getting suspended again.
The cheerleader was ready to open her mouth but a voice behind us caused all of us to look away. The crowd of people stepped to their sides, letting the head cheerleader pass through.
"C'mon Stevie, leave them alone." Alex spoke up and my eyes widened at her comment. Stevie glared at Alex but Alex took a hold of her arm, yanking her away from me.
"They're not worth it" Alex continued, secretly eyeing me. Almost silently apologizing to me as she turned around with Stevie.
"Show's over, get the fuck out of here" Alex yelled out to all the people enclosed. They all listened and walked away with the cheerleaders following behind. Unintentionally, my view followed Russo's every move until she disappeared into a classroom. My staring wasn't so discrete because a couple of seconds later Alex caught me. She made a short stop before entering her classroom, and looked at me from afar. Just giving me a plain simple nice smile, it took me a while but I returned the gesture, she then took a step inside, leaving me profoundly confused with a jumbled up ball of emotions and thoughts.
