A/N: Alrighty then folks, here's the next chapter. Before you read it I just though I should clear up some stuff first.

A few of my reviewers have been confused about the characters. Specifically Selena. Besically it's like this: Selena is not an actress, she has never been to Waverly Place before and she is not famous. She's just an ordinary girl. Hugh is a Wizard and he did go to Wiztech, but Alex didn't go so that's why she doesn't know him.

Enjoy!


Alex's POV

"You know, I've been thinking." I said to Selena as we were walking out of school. "We've known each other for over a week now and neither of us has been to the other's house yet… wanna stay over tonight?"

"I'd love to but I can't, I promised my mom I'd help her out at the house today." She said, to my disappointment, "but, I'm free tomorrow night, how about then?" she seemed really eager.

"Sure, that'll be awesome." I said as we reached the school bus. Selena climbed in with a wave and the bus pulled away. I waited a few seconds to make sure the coast was clear before taking out my wand and zapping myself back to Waverly Place. The Subshop was closed because Mom and Dad were in Paris visiting Aunt Meg for the day. Since the whole Retest thing Dad had been trying really hard to reconnect with her, without much success of course.

I crossed the Subshop and climbed the spiral staircase, gazing around when I reached the top. Justin was nowhere to be seen, so he was probably at Zeke's. Max on the other hand was lying on the ceiling… asleep. Well used to Max's antics by now I just shrugged and made my way up the second spiral staircase to my bedroom.

My room was a lot different than it used to be; I no longer had pink, fluffy wallpaper. My walls were now a deep shade of green, with little bits of purple here and there. It was a lot easier on the eyes than the way it used to be but it was still pretty out there. My old single bed was gone and I'd magicked myself up this awesome double. The biggest difference in the room was the wardrobe. In place of my little old wardrobe that used to sit in the corner was a brand spankin new sliderobe with mirrored doors that covered an entire wall. It made my room look entirely different.

Settling on my bed I looked around for something to do. Selena wasn't coming over until tomorrow so I had a lot of time to kill until then. As my gaze roamed the room it came to rest on my laptop, lying on the bedside table. It was then that the idea struck me. I was going to do a little research on Selena, with any luck, I would be able to find the reason that Selena and I looked just like one another.

Turning on my laptop I pulled up a Google window and typed in 'Selena Gomez'. Of course I got hundreds of results for 'Selena' and 'Gomez', but only one result had her full name: a website for a high school in L.A.

Clicking on the link it brought up an archive of photos. Flicking through them I eventually found one of Selena. To say it shocked me would be a major understatement. She was standing beside another girl, holding her hand. The caption on the photograph read: 'Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Co-Presidents of our school's LGBT club.' I couldn't believe my eyes. Selena is gay? I never would have guessed. It didn't bother me or anything, it was just surprising.

I continued looking through the photos but the only other picture I could find was Selena's yearbook photo. If there were any important details about Selena's past, the internet didn't have them. I would have to get them from Selena herself.


I don't know why, but I didn't want to tell Selena about my little internet search last night. I didn't want her to know that I knew she was gay, I felt like it would just make things awkward. If she wanted me to know, she would tell me.

Selena and I were sitting with Hugh on a bench out the front of the school at lunchtime, chatting about nothing in particular. I kept looking at Selena, closer than usual, trying to pick up some gay vibes. I got nothing but a raised eyebrow and an 'Alex, are you ok?'. I told Selena I was fine and looked nervously over at Hugh before bursting into a fit of coughing at what I saw, spilling my juice all down my front. Hugh was holding a wand!

"Oops, wait here, I'll get you some paper towels." said Selena before slipping out from between Hugh and I and heading for the toilets.

After Selena was out of earshot I reached over and punched Hugh on the arm. "Dude, put your freaking wand away. Do you want to get caught with that thing?"

Hugh looked at me and then down at his wand before spluttering "W…wand? Wh-what wand? This is a stick! Who has a wand? Don't be silly there's no such thing as-"

Before he could ramble any further I gave another punch on the arm to shut him up and pulled my own wand out of my boot. "I'm a wizard too you retard, now put that thing away before Selena comes back."

Hugh hurriedly shoved his wand into his backpack before turning to me. "You're a wizard too? How awesome! Wait a second… you aren't by any chance related to Justin Russo are you? I met him at Wiztech. He's an awesome guy."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Justin? Yeah, he's my brother… but an awesome guy? Not so much. I narrowly avoided having to go to Wiztech with him. But hang on, you knew I had a brother called Justin, he even goes to this school… how could you not recognise him?"

"I'm only realising the resemblance now; I guess I just didn't recognise him without the glasses.

Before we could continue, Selena arrived back from the bathroom with a handful of paper towels. "Here you go, but I doubt these'll be much help." She gave me a sympathetic smile before gazing down at my top. My top was absolutely drenched… and I wasn't wearing a bra today. It showed. I noticed that Selena's were still firmly locked to my chest and I felt a blush creeping up to my cheeks. Okay, gay vibes detected. Embarrassed I stood up, told Selena I had a spare top and headed to the bathroom.

Once I reached the bathroom I pulled out my wand and waved it around me. My soaking wet top was replaced by an identical clean one. I left the bathroom just as the bell rang and headed for Physics, meeting up with Selena along the way.

"Dude, you brought two identical tops to school?" she asked, noticing that my top hadn't changed.

"Erm… yeah… that way no one knows I changed it."

She didn't look convinced. "Okay, if you say so. Still a bit weird if you ask me."

"Oh please, what's weird is that you've been talking to Harper more than I have this week and she still hasn't realised that we're two separate people." I replied with a smirk.

"Yeah, we should really tell her. The whole school knows and yet somehow she doesn't."

"Nah, just let her figure it out for herself, besides, it's hilarious." I gave Selena playful nudge as we entered the Physics lab.

The last few periods passed pretty quickly and soon Selena and I were headed back to my house.

"So, do your parents know I'm coming over?" she asked, filling the silence.

"Nope, I wanna try to make it through the whole night without them noticing, what do you say?"

"I say we'll probably get caught, but it's worth a shot." She says with a mischievous grin.

Before long we're walking though Waverly Place and we come to the substation. Stopping outside I turned to Selena. I told her that I would go in first and that she would follow ten seconds behind me.

I entered the Subshop and saw my dad behind the counter. As I passed he called out 'Hey Alex' before returning to his work. I quickly made my way to the staircase where I watched as Selena entered though the doors. My dad once again called out 'Hey Alex' as she walked by. I swear, that man is just too stupid for his own good. He didn't even notice that his 'daughter' just walked past him two times in a row.

There was no one upstairs so I assumed that my Mom must have gone out. I threw myself down on the couch and switched on the TV, Selena sat beside me. I flicked through the channels before stopping on So Random! And setting the remote down. Yet as soon as the remote hit the table, Selena picked it up and quickly changed the channel.

I gave her an odd look. "What did So Random ever do to you?" I asked with a smirk.

She sighed. "Sorry, it's just that Sonny Munroe looks just like my Ex girlfriend- oh shit." She stopped talking and looked at me fearfully as if she was expecting me to explode. I just glared back at her. Tense moments passed and Selena and I just stared at one another, but I couldn't keep up the act and I felt my face cracking into a grin before I burst out laughing.

Selena's expression changed from one of fear to one of both relief and confusion. "Erm… what's so funny?" she asked, still wary.

I stopped my hysterics and looked at her again. "I'm sorry, but the look on your face when you realised that you just outed yourself was priceless. I couldn't help myself."

"So, you're okay with it?" she asked sounding relieved.

"Okay with it? Of course I'm okay with it. Why wouldn't I be? You're awesome and the act that you're gay doesn't change that." I assured her before leaning in and offering her a hug.

She hugged back eagerly before muttering a 'Thank You'.

I decided to change the subject. "So, I have a huge pile of DVD's upstairs, wanna watch one?" I asked her, coming to my feet.

"As long as I get to pick?" She asked.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." I told her before grabbing her hand and dragging her up the stairs.

When we reached my room Selena was amazed. She stood in the centre of the floor, gazing around. "Uhm, wow. I take it you like green and purple?" she asked sarcastically.

"They're only the most awesomest colors in the world." I replied.

"You sure have good taste. Anyway, where are those DVD's?"

I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled back one of the sliding doors to reveal a huge rack of DVD's. "Behold, the movie mountain."

Selena's eyes widened when she saw the huge amount of films in my wardrobe. There were about 350 of them after all. Magic certainly had its advantages. She started sifting through the DVD's and before long she stood up and turned to me, one of them in her hand. It was 'The Hangover'. "We're watching this one, it's like one of the best movies ever made." She announced.

"The Hangover it is." I said before excusing myself to go downstairs. I grabbed a jar of pickles, because I know Selena and I both love them and I also made us some sandwiches so that we didn't have to go downstairs for dinner later. When I got back to my room Selena was sitting on my bed with the remote, waiting to watch the movie.

I tossed her a sandwich as I climbed onto the bed beside her. Selena pressed play on the movie and we began to watch in silence, cracking up every now and then.

As the movie progressed we began talking about our pasts and we really got to know one another. Selena told me about her ex-girlfriend Demi and how much it hurt to have to leave her. It hurt me that she was hurting, and all I wanted to do was hug her pain away, so I did, and she was only too happy to hug back.

Time passed and we watched movie after movie. We were about half way though 'Over the Hedge' when I felt Selena drift off against my side. It felt so comfortable having her warmth against me and before long I felt myself falling asleep too, with Selena's warm breath against my neck.

Just before my eyes closed, I heard her murmur my name in her sleep and I drifted off with a smile on my face.
