Sonny's POV

Well Mitchie looks a lot happier than earlier, especially this morning. I'll ask her what happened, like a mother should ask her child when school is finished. And try keep my focus on driving home.

"So how was your day after the dodge ball, nose thingy?" I ask her, with a smile.

"Good." Is her reply. Really Mitchie, a one word reply?

"Mitchie, no one word replies. You look happier, so tell me what happened?" I try again.

"It was good, Alex is in all my classes but maths. And we sat and had lunch together," she trails off at the end, so I raise my eyebrow at her as if to say continue, "and I kinda sung a little bit of a song for her." She rushes out quickly, I'm glad we're at a red light if not we would have crashed with how quickly my head snapped towards her.

"Hunny! That's great! What did she say?" I ask her beaming brightly, like I did when she was younger and would run home with loads of things from school.

"Uh she told me I was amazing." She told me shyly. Also a blush creeping onto her face too. Time to tease her about Alex.

"You like Alex don't you." I stated as a fact. As I continued to drive home.

"Wha-what n-no! No I d... Don't like Al-Alex." Well Mitchie that was finished badly.

"Uh huh sure the blush, stuttering and shyness all indicate that you don't like her. Well-" I start but Mitchie interrupts me.

"Mom! Okay there's something about her, especially what she did at the end of the day but still she... She won't ever like me in that way." Oh I hate seeing her put herself down. As we arrive home and

"Mitchie, listen to me. You don't know that. Okay for all you know she could feel the exact same about you. And she does like you." I finish as we get out the car.

"And how do you know she likes me that way?" She asks while standing beside the car.

"Because she'd be stupid if she didn't. Hunny you're my daughter, okay I know you best. You are an amazing girl." I tell her as I take her head in my hands and kiss her forehead. At this she nodded and we walked in the house. "Oh and remember to be ready in an hour we're going next door for dinner. I already talked to the mother." I tell her as she walks upstairs.

I decide to put my stuff away in my room, and get changed. I decide on a simple black dress with small heels. And I just let my hair down from the bun it's been in for school. I simply brush it and let it stay wavy. After I'm finished I reapply the little make up I have on, and walk into the living room and watch TV. After I while I realise it's time to go next door for dinner.

"Mitchie. Come on, time to go next door." I shout from the bottom of the stairs.

I get no reply, I slowly walk upstairs to her room, "Mitchie let's go." I tell her as I walk in her room, and I see her on her bed listening to music.

"Oh. Sorry. Uh are we going?" She asks, as she begins to move around. I simply nod and walk back downstairs. I hear her coming back down, I take in what my daughter decides to wear to go for dinner next door at the new neighbours.

"Really Mitchie, jeans and a band top? That's what you're wearing?"

"Yeah, they're neighbours mom. We're not having tea with the Queen." Her sarcastic reply comes.

"Fine, let's go," I say as we exit the house and I turn around to lock it I continue talking. "So you never told me what Alex did at the end of the day. What'd she do?"

"Uh she was waiting at my locker, so I covered her eyes and made her guess who it was. And she said 'Miss St-Stutter.' And I told her not to make fun of it, even though I don't want it. And she then said 'Well, for your information I happen to like your stutter.' A-And then sh-she wrapped her arms around me to get her books from her locker. Then said 'See you later Stutter'" She finishes, shyly. Wow, Alex is teasing her.

"Wow, didn't know Alex would do that. Mitchie I think you should take a chance and go for her." I tell her completely serious, she is my daughter and I want her to be happy. Jeez, Alex did that in half a day.

"I dunno mom, she just doesn't seem like she would like me in that way." She tells me as we approach next door.

"Take a chance, you'll never know unless you try sweetie." I finish as I ring the bell.

The door opens and a young man about two years older than Mitchie is standing in front of us. As I actually pay attention again I realise he's about to speak.

"Hi, I'm Justin. You must be our neighbours; my mom said was coming over for dinner." I nod my head to the boy's statement,

"Yes. Hi I'm Sonny, and this is my daughter Mitchie." I tell him, as I shake his hand and I realise as he looks over to Mitchie, he beings to stare at her.

"H-hi..." Mitchie trails off while looking at her from under her bangs. Justin extends his hand to her and she complies and shyly returns the shake.

"Come in." Justin opens the door further and extends his arm out as a gesture to come in.

"Oh hello again Sonny, dinner won't be long." Theresa tells me.

"Hi Theresa, thank you again. This is my daughter Mitchie." I tell her as I introduce Mitchie, because no doubt she'd stay silent the whole time.

"Well, it's lovely to meet you Mitchie," Theresa says from the open plan kitchen. "Take a seat, this is my other son Max, and you've met Justin." She informs us as we sit down. "Oh my daughter should be somewhere. I'll go get her." She quickly rushes off upstairs, but a voice snaps all our attention to the door again.

"Hey Stutter, Miss Munroe. We're your new neighbours?" She asks while closing the door again.

"Alexandra Margarita Russo! Why are you covered in oil?" Theresa shouts from where she's standing on the stairs?

"You never reminded me! And I was working on th-" Alex begins but Justin interrupts her.

"Of course, you forgot. And how do you know them?" He asks.

"Justin it doesn't matter now. Alex go get cleaned up." Theresa says as she goes back to the kitchen. Alex just sighs and walks upstairs.

I decide to tease Mitchie now. "Bet you wish you got dressed up now." I tell her with a smirk.

Alex's POV

Great, they saw me in such a state. But hey it could be a good look. Just not smelling like oil not a good thing.

I continue to have a rant in my head as I'm in the shower. After washing twice, I step out and get changed, into my blue top and wear my jeans along with suspenders and just a pair of socks. Should I dress up instead? Mitchie's there but then I should be myself. And this is me. Hehe this is me. Mitchie sang a song to me called 'This Is Me.'

I walk back downstairs and I receive a glare from my mother, Justin is too busy ogling Mitchie, Max is whoa wait! Justin better knock that off, Mitch looks uncomfortable. Well 'Russo Charm' better work. I walk over and sit beside Mitchie.

"Hey Stutter." I say with a smile looking directly into her eyes.

"H-Hi Al... Alex." Awh why are you so cute and beautiful? Wait what? Do I like Mitchie like that?

"Ignore the dork, that's staring at you still." I say loud enough for Justin to hear, I turn my head so he knows I mean him.

"Oh wow Alex really? I'm sure I'm much better company than you." Comes Justin's great response. While he says this, I look at Mitchie shaking my head disagreeing with Justin.

"Justin you haven't said more than probably five words to Mitchie. All you've done is ogle her. At least Max isn't." I tell him.

"Max hasn't said anything."

"Well I'm sure Mitchie is happier about Max not saying anything, than you staring at her." After that Justin just huffs and crosses his arms. I can her Miss Munroe laughing at this.

"So Miss Munroe, how come it's your first day but Mitchie's always went there?" I ask making conversation and because I'm curious about that.

"Well, Alex we're not in school so call me Sonny. And I used to work at the other high school down the road, but decided for a change of school and it's easier for the both of us now." She answer's me with a smile. And her name's Sonny?

"Is your real name Sonny?" I ask her and she shakes her head no.

"Oh what is it? Tell me, tell me, tell me. Please?" I finish with a smile, as she laughs.

"It's Allison." She says.

"Oh okay. So it's Sonny not Allison?" I ask her just to make sure. She nods at me with a huge smile.

"So stutter. Do you prefer Mitchie, to Michelle?" As I say this, she looks at me with an adorable confused expression on her face. "What I remember this morning, when your mom said your full name. And I like your middle name too it's..." I trail off trying to think of the right word to describe it. I finally get one and lean in close and whisper the rest to her, "it's hot. Just like you." I whisper, and as I pull away I give her a sly wink.

"Th-thanks." She chokes out and a bright red blush is gracing her cheeks.

"Dinner!" I hear my mom shout. Great timing mom. NOT!

We all sit down at the table. It goes me, Jerry (my dad), Justin, Sonny, Max, Mitchie and Theresa (my mom.) As dinner is served we all, begin to eat a great dinner.

For once my parents or family for that matter weren't embarrassing. Am I getting Punk'd?

Oh well, Sonny and Mitchie are leaving now and I can't help but feel sad that Mitchie's going. But I pull her aside with a smile on my face.

"Can I get your number?" I ask her with a smile, I've decided is only for her.

"S-Sure." She says. She's still shy. So cute. After we swap numbers, we walk back out and I'm kind of surprised when Sonny pulled me into a hug.

"Sorry, I'm a hugger." She laughs. Guess my expression showed.

"No that's cool." I say. I smile at Mitchie and open my arms offering her a hug. This causes her to blush again. I'm never going to get used to how cute that is. As she walks into my arms, I feel butterflies erupt in my stomach and I realise how we fit together like a lock and key.

"See you tomorrow Stutter." I whisper to her.

"B-bye Al... Alex." I chuckle at her stutter and I'm guessing she knew why I was, cause she began to blush again.

As they leave, I decide I'm tired so, I get myself ready for bed and change into a tank top and Batman boxers. Just as I'm about to fall asleep I decide to do one thing, that I know I'll always do before bed.

Sweet Dreams, Stutter.

I smile as I pressed send to Mitchie, and I fell asleep for the first time in a while with a smile on my face.
