Chapter 1 Alana's Side 

Alana was a nice girl. She lived at an apartment complex with another one behind them. Her best friend Julie lived in those apartments. A new kid just moved into the C building, Alana lived in the F building(right across from each other). Alana had attitude and anger issues. She would also get revenge when someone hurt one of her friends or if you ticked her off. Overall she was a nice person...and never really loved anyone except for one particular guy and you will get to hear the story. Hope you like it. 

 

The next day after she made that wish, her friend came and knocked on the door. She asked if she could hang out by the woods with their new friend Andrew. Alana agreed and said she just had to get her stuff. 

 

“Okay why are we being a dumpster? I thought we were gonna hangout in the woods and who's he?” Alana asked, 

 

“That's Andrew we're playing a game, where we throw the tablet case to trees and see who gets it stuck. Then get it back down, wanna play?” Alana's friend Marci asked.

“Sure” Alana answered.

 

“Hey so who are you? Me and my new…friends? Are you hanging out here? Wanna hangout with us?” Andrew asked.

 

“Well it seems as if that's what my friends asked me to do, and why am I here? Yeah I do, and what's your name anyway, I've never met you?” Alana asked with an attitude.  

 

“My name is Andrew and I am new. I just moved here about three days ago and I love football. Do you know that I have played football since I was 6 years old?” Andrew asked.

 

“Well seems that we just met. No I did not and I dont like football its stupid and all you do is pass a ball and kick it to a goal” Alana said. 

 

“Ugh okay well wanna hangout some day not tomorrow tho?” Andrew asked.

 

“Well duh it’s Christmas im not that stupid.” Alana said with an attitude. 

A week later 

 

 Knock, Knock, Knock 

 

“Alana can you get the door please?” Alana's mom yelled.

“Yeah,” Alana said.

She answered the door and saw her friend Kimmy.

 

“Hey Kimmy whats up?” Alana asked.

 

“Nothing much, Andrew keeps asking when you're gonna text him” Kimmy said.

 

“Who? Oh wait I remember him now, but...I never got his number and why is he so opposed to me anyway?” Alana said.

 

So she got his number and they started texting for hours about nothing. Their favorite became the game truth or dare.

 

A few weeks later,

 

“Truth or dare?” Andrew asked. 

“Dare” Alana replied. 

“I dare you to ask out your crush” Andrew said hoping she would ask him out. 

 

She got nervous and said she didn't have a crush. So Andrew got sad and… The next day the didnt talk. Up until school came around,

 

“Hey Alana!!!!” Alana's friend, Julie said.

 

“Hey Juls, whats up?” Alana said.

 

“Not-” Julie said as she got interrupted by Andrew. 

“Hey Alana, what are you doing? I haven't talked to you in weeks.” Andrew said with a said face.

 

“Alana who's that?” Julie asked.

 

“Oh this is my friend, Andrew,” Alana said.

 

“Yeah my name is Andrew and who are you?” Andrew said. 

 

“My name is Julie and i’m Alana's best friend. I was there on her 11th b-day and where were you when she needed a good friend. When sh-” Julie said as Alana interrupted her.

 

“BUS IS HERE” Alana said rushingly. 

. 

 

As Alana got on the bus, she had realized that it was his first day of school. Right after they just met it was his first day of school and he had asked if she could tour him around. She said yes thinking he was joking and wondered what class he had the first hour...as she entered the school, the principal was standing at the doors waiting for her. She thought she was in trouble but he said that she had to tour Andrew around school, and not have any classes except for exploratories. She was so excited that she didn't have to take a test that day.

 

“So wanna tour me now” Andrew said with a smug look on his face.

 

“Yeah...sure i don't really have a choice tho” Alana said.

 

“So who's your friend? Jasman or Halie at the bus stop?” Andrew asked.

 

“Julie is her name and she's my best friend. Got a problem with her?” Alana asked with  A BAD of attitude.

 

“No not really” Andrew said with a smug face yet again.

 

“You like her dont you? sorry dude she likes girls not guys” Alana said, to make his face go red and look stupid, but to her disapontmant he stayd a calm and said,

 

“Well that's nice....I guess but I don't like anyone. My last girlfriend already told me how people feel about me and that I should die. So I stopped liking people because I don't want to be a...nothing. Never mind, where's the guys restroom? I need to go” Andrew said.

 

“Sorry I didn't mean to bring it up...the boys bathroom is down the hall and on the left” Alana said, 

 

“Hey Alana,” Julie said, as she snuck up on Alana.

 

“Oh hi what's up,” Alana said, as she starred in space, 

 

“How's your touring going so far?” Julie asked.

 

“Oh, fine I guess” Alana said.

 

“What's wrong? Don't say nothing cause I know you're sad but not gonna say it” Julie said, 

“NOTHINGS WRONG, okay” Alana said. 

 

“Okay then, whatever wanna come over tonight? i'll get it out of you.” Julie said. 

 

“Su-” Alana said, as she got interrupted.

 

“Alana wanna finish giving me the tour?” Andrew asked giving julie a dirty look and rolling his eyes 

 

“Sure let's go...oh and see you later I'll come over and spend the night tonight Julie” Alana said.

 

They started walking and touring the school. Andrew then said, 

 

“Why do you like her anyway? She has a bad attitude.” Andrew asked. 

 

“Because I have known her since kindergarten and she's been there for me. When my mom first got cancer and when my dad left. She was even there for me when I was getting bullied and when I was depressed. She was there and wouldn't go till I stopped trying to die” Alana said. With tears starting to come out of her eyes 

 

“Oh...sorry for making you talk about what I didn't mean to,” Andrew said.

 

“No it’s...fine” Alana said. 

 

The rest of the day they just didn't talk at all and tried to make it as little awkward as they could. But that just made it more awkward and when they got home they just didn't talk or even go outside. Until after school 

 

Knock, knock, knock, 

 

“Oh, hey” Alana said.

 

“Did you forget about coming over?” Julie asked, with a sad face.

“Oh yeah, sorry.” Alana said.

 

“It's fine, just come on ask mom” Julie said.

 

“Mom...is at the hospital again,” Alana said.

 

“Oh sorry” Julie said, with a worried face. 

 

So they went to Julie's house and when they got there, there were cops surrounding the house.  They got scared and ran around and in the woods to their “hideout” hoping no one was there. Sadly Alana's sister was there with her boyfriend making out. So they just ran to the park.

 

“Is mom using again?” Alana said, talking about Julie's mom. 

 

“Yeah...can we not talk about my parents?” Julie said, with a sour face.  

 

“Yeah sorry” Alana said, with a cornering face expression.

 

So they sat at the park for hours just sitting there thinking about life and not caring about anything. 

 

“Wanna go home now?” Julie said.

 

“Oh yeah sure let's go, wanna watch netflix and eat popcorn?” Alana said. 

 

“Yeah, let's go,” Julie said. 

As they were walking to Julie's house they noticed that Andrew blew up Alana's phone. Saying that he wanted to hangout with Alana. His new friends were gonna play football with him not remembering that Alana doesn't really like  football. But she hung out with them anyway.

 

“Say why do you hate football so much anyway?” Andrew asked.

 

“Because...why do you like it so much?” Alana asked, with a confused face.

 

“Because my uncle was 25 and just graduated. He was gonna be in the NFL but he visited his girlfriend cause she just told her over obsessed ex-boyfriend that she didn't want to be with him. When he was at her house there was a drive by shooting and he got shot in the head. So I guess I like it in memory of him” Andrew said as he started to cry and ran home.

 

“Oh sorry…” Alana said hoping he would hear her. 

 

The next day Alana went to Julie's house and spent 2 months there. Not a day went by that Julie didn't let Alana know she liked Andrew. 

 

“Hey Alana wanna know something?” Julie asked. 

 

“No cause you're just gonna say you like Andrew” Alana said, with finger quotes. 

 

“Yeah you know me so well” Julie said, with a smug look on her face. 

 

“Yeah I'm going to text him real quick,” Alana said, as she grabbed her phone. 

 

“Hey andrew, so we haven't talked in a while. Just wanted to catch up on things” Alana texted Andrew.

 

“Oh it's fine ig wyd hyd anyway i can't wait to talk to you awin” Andrew texted. 

 

“What? You need an autocorrect kid” Alana texted.

 

“Well sorry i was in a rush to talk to you we haven't talked in 2 months and i usually talk to you like on a daily but ig your dead or mad at me(; ):” Andrew said as he tried to not make it noticeable that he missed her 

 

“Well gotta go fn c u later” Andrew texted. 

 

The next day, at school Andrew and Alana sat by each other at lunch. Many people teased them and said,

 

“Cute couple”and “oh on a lunch date how romantic” and “I wish my girlfriend would do that”

 

They got so annoyed and eventually just got sick and tired of it. They stopped talking as much 

 

“Oh come on Alana it would have happened either way. Just tell him how you felt about the dance on HALLOWEEN?” Julie said.

 

“No, we haven't talked in like forever,” Alana said. 

 

“You haven't talked for five weeks. That's all Alana, now get the guts to tell him or I will.” Julie said.

 

“Okay.” Alana said.

 

“Let's go then. He's at home, I think.” Julie said.

 

“Okay or I could text him?” Alana said, in a questionable voice. 

“NO I KNOW WHAT YOUR GONNA DO” Julie yelled. 

 

“OKAY NO NEED TO FREAKING YELL!!!” Alana said.

 

So they started to walk to Andrews apartments. Which were not very far cause they lived right across from each other. On the way Alana and Julie saw Andrew, his little friends, and his “sister” hanging out in the field.  Playing, welp you guessed it, football. Alana asked, 

 

“Andrew’s in the field, do I have to ask him out in front of people?”

 

“I didn't say you needed to ask him out. Just tell him you like him,”Julie said. 

 

“HEY ALANA!!!” Andrew yelled. 

 

“Y..y..yeah what's...up...Andrew” Alana said, stuttering out of a nervous reaction.

 

“Hey ssoo uhhhhhhh I kinda like you.” Andrew said, with a nervous face. He was sweating.

 

“Okay, lover boy. Alana said, teasing him.

 

“I knew it you, don't like me,” Andrew said, with tears in his eyes. 

 

“Yes i don like you”Alana said 

 

“Wanna go on a date then”Andrew asked 

 

“A little fast don't you guys think?” Andrew and Alana's friends asked, at the same time.

 

“SHUT UP!!!” Alana and Andrew said. 

 

“So...were together now?” Alana said with her arms around Andrews, as if someone had died. She was hugging for happiness.

 

“Yeah...I guess” Andrew said, as he was trying to breathe.

 

In their 2nd month of dating, Alana's cousin came. Her name was Bertha 

 

“Hey Alana, so who's the boy? Did You know that me and MY boyfriend have been dating for three years?” Bertha asked.

 

“His name is Andrew and we have been dating for 2 months, why?” Alana said. 

 

“Because.” Bertha said, with a bad attitude. 

 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK 

 

“Alana you in here?” Andrew asked.

 

“COMING!” Alana yelled.

“Hey, whats up Andrew?” Alana asked.

 

“Nothing much, can
