As Alex gets home his mom smiled.
"I got you a new binder!"
"Really!?!?!"
"Actually I got you three…"
"THANK YOU!" With that, he hugged her tightly.

Later on that night, Leonie sat on her bed staring at her blank phone. She had successfully avoided an argument with her mum thanks to her dad, which she was still suspicious of, but in turn she had to tell them why she was so happy.
Why is it a big deal to them that I have a friend. I get that it's important to me, but why to them?
She continued staring at her phone, debating whether to message Alexander or not. After half an hour of second guessing herself, she unlocked her phone.
'Hi, it's Leonie, you make it home alright?' she quickly threw her phone down and awaited a response.
LEONIE!
He smiled.
Yep! I got a new binders!
'That's great!'
She found herself smiling, even though her heart thumped against her chest.
'You can be comfortable again :)'
Yep! My mom surprised me with them when I got home!
'Oh cool! You have a really nice mum.'
The bedroom door creaked open and Leonie's mum stood in the doorway. "You texting your new friend?"
Leonie nodded silently.
"Alright, don't stay up too late." she closed the door with a huff.
'Do we have school tomorrow?' she quickly messaged Alexander, hoping the answer was no.
Nope. Why do you ask?
'I forgot the day, I thought today was Wednesday.'
she chuckled to herself nervously. Part of her wanted to ask Aex if he was doing anything but she couldn't bring herself to ask.
Nope.
He started blushing then his mom ran in and notice.
"DOES MY BABY BOY HAVE A CRUSH?"
"MOM?!!?!?"
Be right back gotta go fight my mom.
'Why?? What's happened???' she replied in a split second, staring at the screen, waiting for the response.
I hope everything is alright…
Ummm…No reason….
'If you're sure..' she paused for a moment, biting her lip, until finally asking the question.
'Do you have any plans tomorrow?'
Nope. If you can tell I never have plans
'Do you…do you wanna do something together? We could go for coffee or something.. I mean we don't have to, I shouldn't have asked really. I just thought we could do something together and kind of get to know each other better.'
Leonie repeatedly swore to herself. What the hell am I doing???
That sounds great! What time?
'Around 1 maybe? Whatever time is best for you really.'
Oh my stars he said yes… How am i supposed to react????'
Her face burned with embarrassment but her smile grew into a broad grin.
"What are you smiling about?" her dad's voice came from the door. She turned to find him poking his head in.
"NOTHING!" She squeaked, quickly turning her phone off.
Her father backed away from the door with a sly grin on his face, leaving Leonie horrified. Crap!
DEAL!
He started laughing and his mom came back in.
"You like this person a lot huh?"
Leonie stared at her phone in amazement, grinning in both shock and excitement. She grabbed the pillow from behind her and squealed excitedly into it. She caught a glimpse of herself in her dressing table mirror; her face had turned bright red. She was so happy to the point where she physically didn't know what to do. Should she laugh? Should she cry? Nevertheless she wore a bright grin on her face, which suddenly dropped when her brain started overthinking.
What do I wear? Should I put on any makeup? What if people think we are on a date? I mean it kind of is a date but then it isn't because neither of us said that it would be a date. A date of friends, that's all it is, right? I don't know anymore!
Wait is this a date? he thought to himself.
I should probably get some sleep, I don't want to be too tired tomorrow…
She picked up her phone, her hands quivering as she typed.
'Great! I'll see you then. Sleep well alright?'
I will! See ya!
Leonie placed her phone on her bedside table and started pacing around the room, too lost in thought to sleep.
This is a friend date, therefore it isn't really a date, which means I don't need to get worked up about it. But then, here's the problem, what if Alexander has a partner, and they find out about this, what would happen? Would they take it out on him, on me, or not say anything? When did I start thinking that Alexander has a partner, he's never mentioned having one so I assume he doesn't. I am working myself up for no reason, well done brain you've done it again!
Alexander's mind was racing.
DUDE YOU LIKE HER. YOU REALLY LIKE HER
She stood in front of her wardrobe, trying to figure out a suitable outfit. Unfortunately, her skirts and dressed picked the worst day to be in the wash.
Please don't tell me I have to wear jeans…
She flung her bedroom door open, realising the washing machine was running. "Dad! Are my clothes in the washing machine?"
"Not tonight, tomorrow!"
She closed her door with an irritated groan. "Cowl neck sweater and skinny jeans it is then…" she fell face first into her pillow with a heavy sigh. This is going to go one of two ways, a success or a failure…
Alexander noticed his jeans were dirty. "Crap…MOM I NEED TO WASH CLOTHES YOU NEED ANYTHING WASHED?"
"NOT AT THE MOMENT SWEETY." She yelled back.
