sweet thing

Chapter 2; Realisation

It has been a few days since the school year started. I've made a few close friend but Alex is the best out of them. She's been coming out of her shell more and more to me. She is actually really funny and really protective. I feel like her shell was just here as her armor because she doesn't know how to approach someone. Now she is more relaxed and our classmates are starting to see that she isn't stuck up like they thought. Over the past few days I have found that we have many things in common yet we are different in more than one way. We both had the happiest childhood imaginable. She has an older brother, a mom and a dad. Pretty normal. On the other side, I have two younger twin brothers and a mom. My dad passed away while I was very young. My brothers weren't even a year old and I was 4 when he passed away. I can still remember that we spend a lot of time together and I favored him over my mom. I can't remember his voice and in my memories his face is always a little blurred but it's because many years have gone by without him. Besides a happy childhood and a similar music taste we are polar opposites in more than one way. I have short black hair and I mostly wear black and red because they are my favorite colors. She has long dirty blonde hair. I could talk about her hair for hours without ever stopping. She wears brighter colors but she has a really interesting way of mixing them together. Just yesterday she wore mismatched socks, one was bright pink and the other was as green as grass. I'm also a whole inch taller than her. That wasn't that important but I just like to brag if I'm taller than someone. She's better at biology, chemistry and physics and I'm better at art and music. The only school subjects that we both enjoy are foreign languages. I also play guitar and skateboard while she plays piano and she enjoys reading. We are complete opposites. To say that In enjoy her company would be an understatement. It's only been a few days but she's really grown on me.

It has now been a few weeks since school first started. Somewhere around 2 months have passed since I first approached her. Our friendship and our overall bond has grown stronger. I really feel like she has an impact on me and I surely have an impact on her. I mean because of her I've gotten better at biology and I've helped her come out of her shell. We're helping each other grow in a positive way.

Our classmates often joke that we are in relationship. At first it seemed bizarre and weird for both of us. Alex would just shut up at first but now she just says something like "and?" or "you got something against it?"

I surely wouldn't mind if we were in a relationship, after all.
