and said,"Some Juice for me to!"
"And you?" she asked me.
"juice." I said. After a little while she came back in with our drinks and handed them to us. I thanked her and she walked back into the kitchen. Tyler had finished in one gulp and so didn't Avery. I sighed and did to. I really needed to talk with Avery.

AVERY

It felt awkward. I mean having Alex here because of me. Why would he even come to Tyler's house for me? Why does he care? I sighed in frustration and Alex looked at me.

"You okay, Avery?" He asked as he put his cup on the table.
"Yeah." I said. We both stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
"Umm.....I was just about to go. I have to speak with my dad." Alex had said. He walked out the door and closed it behind.
"Well...Tyler. I'll see you sometime." I said and picked up my jacket. I walked outside and closed the door behind me. i walked down the sidewalk when Alex came out of no where and scared me.
"Ah. Geez. Don't do that...." I said.
"Sorry." He apologized.
"What? Alex Parker apologizing." I said with a hand over my mouth after I said it. he rolled his eyes. I looked around but I didn't see his car.
"Where's your car?" I asked. He sighed and then stopped.
"I ran here." He blurted out.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Because.....I don't know......really...." He said as he looked at the ground.
"Well?" I asked him.
"Well what?" he asked back.
"Well...carry me." I demanded. He sighed and then got on one knee. I laughed and jumped on his back. He stood up and began walking.

"Alex?" I asked him while I sat my chin on his shoulder.
"Hmm?" He said as he looked at me while walking still.
"Will you be there for me?" I whispered. He smiled at me.
"Of course." He said. I smiled at him and he looked back in front of him.

Something about Alex attracts me. Is it his black hair? His eyes? The way he talks, the way he skate boards, the way he walks, they way he smiles, or is it the way he tries to hid things? I sighed.

Don't fall for him, Av. You got this. Take deep breaths and you'll get him out of your mind, I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I took in air but mostly took in Alex's scent. Dang! He smelt good.
I mentally slapped my self. Do I like Alex??? I can't, Right? I mean he isn't my type at all. He's with Vanessa and he doesn't like old little me.


ALEX

Avery laid her chin on my shoulder and started breathing heavy. She was asleep and man does she look cute. It looked like she was in deep thought when she closed her eyes. I wonder what goes in that head of hers......

I finally made it to the house and I had laid her down on her bed. I turned to walk out of the door but she grabbed my arm.

"Stay with me, Alex." She said as she verily opened her eyes. I couldn't say 'no' and I couldn't say 'yes', So I just nodded. I slid in the cover beside her and wrapped my arms around her. Her head had laid into my chest and she fell back to sleep.

I don't like Avery. I think....No I know that I'm in love with her. The way she skates, the way she thinks too hard about somethings, her comebacks, her smile, her eyes, her hair, when she sleeps, when she's mad or sad, when shes jealous, and the way she hides her feelings.

Before I knew it my eyes closed and I fell asleep.
Chapter Ten

AVERY

I woke up with Alex's arms wrapped around me. I stared at his face for awhile. He was so calm and innocent when he's a sleep. All of sudden his eyes open and I jump.

"God, Alex." I said as my heart raced.
"Was you staring at me." He smirked.
"Psh...no. like I would stare at you." I lied.
"Don't you lie to me, Avery Jane Salvatore." He said as he used my full name. Wait...How does he know my middle name?
"How do you know my middle name?" I asked.
"Your mom." he said.
"Ah." I said.
"Where is he?!" I heard Vanessa yell at someone outside of my door.
"Crap..." I muttered. Alex stared at me and sighed.
"Moment ruined?" He asked. I nod and jump out of his arms as my door opens. I manage to stand up as the door revealed Vanessa. She smiled and jumped on my bed on top of Alex. I cleared my throat and made a loud noise.
"Do you mind?! We're trying to make out." Vanessa said.
"Get out." I mumbled.
"What did you say?" She asked me with a threatening look.
"I said. GET OUT." I said once again. I pointed to the door. She shot me a death glare and looked back at Alex.
"No." She snapped.
"Well you just picked the hard way." I said. I walked over to her and grabbed her by her tang top. I pulled her off of Alex and dragged her out of my room. I threw her on the floor and slammed my door in her face. I turn around to a smirking Alex.

"Someone is jelly!" He teased me.
"No. I'm not. She was trying to make out with you on my bed." I told him.
"You sound so jealous." he said smirking still.
"It's my room. I don't want Vanessa getting her disease on my bed." I said. He put his hand on his chest and fake gasped.
"Are you calling my girlfriend a disease? Does that make me a disease then?!" He asked like he was interested.
"Well...that depends. You kiss her. SO......YEAH." I said. He fake gasped again and laughed. I chuckled and sighed.
"Sorry about that." I apologized.
"It's okay. She kinda did deserve it." He said. I faked gasp and flopped down on my bed beside him.
"Is Alex Parker agreeing with me?" I asked. He pushed my arm playfully and smiled.
"For once." He said.
"Vanessa has been clingy to you a lot lately. Do you think she's hiding something?" I blurted out. Alex turned to me and started to think.
"Your right. She has been way too clingy to me. Maybe something is up." He said.
"Your Nancy Drew and I'll be Roxie Hunter." I said as I jumped up and got into ninja form.
"But I don't want to be a girl..." He pouted.
"I'm a girl to." I pointed out.
"Well...I don't know. You might be a she-man." he said as he raised his eye brows.
"I'm not and I think you know that." I smirked at him. Alex stands up and walks over to me as I realized I'm still in my ninja form. He pats me on the back and chuckles.
"I know." He says before he walks out my door. I fake gasp and said,"How?! Are you a perv, Alex?!" I heard him laugh and yell,"No, I'm just a guy and I know."
