Alex made it back to School after his fight with Dexter and His gang. The attack with a pipe on Alex's head was hurting alot. He made it to Class as He saw Aliyah and Her friends sitting as Aliyah waved at him as Alex smiled. He took his seat and Saw Eva winking at him and he rolled his eyes. Aliyah was starring at Alex's face as She whispered to her friends.

Aliyah: Psst. There is something I wanna tell you girls

Zelina: What is it?

Aliyah: Did you see Alex's face? There is some marks.

The girls turned saw some small scars on Alex's face. They also noticed he was holding his head and his gut.

Trish: I noticed that..Now

Sasha: Wonder whats up with him.

Aliyah: I'm a bit worried about him..

Toni: Oooooh, Is someone in love-

Aliyah hit Toni's arm as She was holding it and pouting.

Toni: It was a joke!

Aliyah: Argh. Next time don't make those claims then.

They silently started giggling as Alex was starring at them as Aliyah looked at his face again.

Class was over as it was lunch time and Aliyah was walking with her friends as They were talking. Aloyah still couldn't get over about Alex and She was hoping He wasn't getting bullied by Mandy's Group. Suddenly Alex bumped into Aliyah as they both stared at eachother.

Alex: Oh, ..I'm sorry Aliyah.

Aliyah: *Moves Hair Aside* Dont worry. I wasn't looking actually so im sorry.

Alex: Dont apologise. I don't like to see someone apologising to me.

Aliyah smiled as Scarlett had a call and looked at her friends.

Scarlett: *Sighs* I need to go the bathroom now. See you all soon.

Mickie: Okay, See you soon.

Alex had a hidden smile on his face which he knew who it was. Aliyah smiled and looked at him.

Aliyah: Wanna have lunch with us?

Alex: I.....

Alex was a little awkward since he normally never had lunch with a group of girls. He saw his friends waving at him.

Kevin: Get over here man!!!

Roman: Why are you leaving us always????

Alex then looked at Aliyah who had a smile on her face. He blushed and looked at her.

Alex: Sure... ill like to have lunch with you all.

Aliyah: Thats Great!!! Come on now.

Aliyah grabbed Alex's hand and dragged him as the girls were laughing. They all took their seats with their plates as They were eating. Scarlett came running with a huge smile on her face but also was looking shocked.

Sasha: There you are. What happened??

Scarlett: You won't believe what happened- Oh, Hey there Alex.

Alex: Hey.

Mickie: *Whispers* You can tell it. Alex won't really mind.

Scarlett sat next with the girls as they were speaking and Alex could hear them.

Scarlett: Dexter just called me.

Trish: What??? What did he say?

Scarlett: He was sounding a bit scared and he apologised to me.

The girls were shocked as Alex had a smirk on his face and continued eating his sandwich.

Toni: No way! *holds her mouth and looks* Are you serious???

Scarlett: I couldn't believe it too. He said that he won't trouble me again and will go back to Toronto Canada soon. He also told me to find another love.

Mickie: That's strange, But why was he scared?

Aliyah: Whatever happened to him, Atleast he's gone now.

Zelina: True. How do you feel Scarlett?

Scarlett: I feel better to be honest.

She smiled and hugged her friends as Alex was starring.

Aliyah: Awww you wanna a hug too?

Alex: N-No.

They laughed as Alex blushed at Aliyah. She saw some food on Alex's face as She took a tissue and wiped it off. Alex was looking at her eyes as Toni was looking.

Toni: Dang, He looks happy with her.

Sasha: Heh, Finally you notice that.

Aliyah: Eat nicely now.

Alex: Yes... I will.

They continued talking as Alex was listening and also telling his opinion on Whatever they were talking about. Aliyah then wanted to get to know Alex a bit since he helped her and She sees him so quiet.

Aliyah: Hey, Tell us something about yourself?

Alex: Me?

Trish: Yes, Of course.

Alex: Alright.

Zelina: Are you having a headache or something? Your been holding your head since you came to school.

Alex: Oh well..

He was starring at them as He nodded.

Alex: I am actually having a headache. And my gut hurts.

Mickie: Geez, Everyday it hurts?

Alex: N-Not really. Any other question?

Alex didn't wanna tell anyone about The garage fight and going to fight clubs. He didn't even tell it to his friends otherwise they will think about him wrong.

Aliyah: Okay, Hmmm Are you born in New York? Or you lived somewhere else before?

Alex: I was actually born in Seattle Washington. Just an Year ago we moved to New York because My Mom wanted us to move here.....

Trish: And Your father?

Alex: .............I never had a father to be honest.

They all looked at Alex feeling sad as Aliyah touched his shoulder.

Aliyah: Sorry about that.

Alex: its okay. Dont worry about me.

He felt a bit calm when Aliyah touched him and spoke to him. Until he heard Toni asking him something.

Toni: Uhhh I hope this isn't too bad to ask. Do you have a picture of your mother? Because seeing you as a really nice person and I like to see how your mother looks.

Alex: Oh of course.... I do have a recent picture for her.

The sad part was. That picture he had was before She was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Alex was sad as He pulled his phone out and showed the picture.

The girls were shocked as They were holding their mouths.

Sasha: Oh my god.....

Zelina: N-Nice! Your showing me her high school look. Now show us her recent one Alex!

Alex: This is her recent picture. I'm serious.

Aliyah: She's so beautiful, She looks like she's Twenty Six.

Alex: Shes actually fourty five

They kept starring at Alex while feeling shocked. Alex though was telling the truth. His mother looked really young even though she was on her 40s.

Mickie: Oh my god I'm soooo jealous!!!

Alex: I'm sorry.

Trish: Dont apologise, Its not your fault.

Aliyah: *Smiles* She does look sweet. She really did raised a sweet boy like you.

Alex blushed as They both smiled at eachother.

Alex: Thank you so much.

Aliyah: No problem, I like to meet her one day.

Alex and Aliyah kept smiling at eachother as The girls were smirking at them

School day ended as Aliyah's friends were already gone. Aliyah was gonna leave the school until someone tapped her shoulder, She turned to see Alex.

Aliyah: Oh Hey there, Alex.

Alex: Hey Aliyah, I just wanted to say. Thank you for spending time with me during lunch time. I had alot of fun.

Aliyah: Awww of course its no problem. Your my new friend after all.

Alex: Once again, Thank you so much.

Aliyah: Dont keep thanking me Alex, Its definitely fine.

Aliayh smiled as Alex was gonna walk away until Aliyah got a little closer and..

Alex stood as He didn't even move or looked. He was shocked as Aliyah giggled.

Aliyah: Sorry about that. Hehehe, Dont find it the wrong way.

Aliyah smiled and waved goodbye as Alex was just holding his head. He couldn't believe that His long time crush just kissed his cheek. Alex had happiness inside him as He was holding his heart.
