Summer. The summer before the final year of high school, the summer that everyone was supposed to enjoy. Well that was quite the opposite for Alex. Although he hand his band, making new music and hanging out with a couple friends, the one person he looked forward to spending the summer with was now ignoring him. There may have been… okay he messed up.
It was currently the second week of senior year. Time flies by, soon enough they would all be graduating. Alex stood in the hallway, blinking back into realization. A voice he recognized, one he hasn’t heard in so long, mumbled to herself while rushing into an empty room. The words all too familiar to him, only bringing back memories from 2 months ago.
“I’ve been working on a new song” Alex told the girl sitting beside him. Of course the song was about her, though she could probably catch onto this as she listened to the lyrics. He began to strum his guitar, playing the melody of the song that has only the beginning and the chorus. “If all it is is eight letters. Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters. Why am I in my own way? Why do I pull you close? And then ask you for space. If all it is is eight letters. Why is it so hard to say?” He stopped singing and eventually slowed the strumming. “That’s about all I have…” He turned his body, facing her and pulling the guitar strap over his head. “What do you think? I’ve had the melody for a while but couldn’t find the right lyrics for it. I’m not sure if-” He was cut off by Amie suddenly kissing him. It caught him by surprise, instantly pulling back. Of course he liked her, but he never planned for it to be that way. Why would she even kiss him, he never thought she liked him like that and that’s why he never acted on his feelings. “Amie i-” He tried to speak but she cut him off again, getting up. “I- im so sorry. Just forget that happened. I thought… Im so… god I’m such an idiot” She rambled on before running up the stairs, the sound of the door shutting soon after.
As he walked down the hallway, his head turned watching the girl rush into the empty classroom. He followed her into the classroom. “God I’m so dumb” This was his perfect opportunity. She had been ignoring him ever since that night, even through all of the failed attempts by messaging her or trying to catch her at the perfect time, there had been barely any words shared between the two. He missed her, a lot. He messed up by pushing her away, and although he tried to fix it… she wouldn’t listen to him. Phoebe was no help, the two hanging out a couple times during the summer but were often away as Alex was travelling for his band’s music and the twins travelling at the same time.
“Usually I’d disagree but you’ve been ignoring me for three months”
