"ImAllexx's new girl? What is this?" Alex asks me as I show him the tweet. Apparently someone had taken a photo when we were out for lunch and Keemstar thought it would be a great idea to post it to Twitter.

"Who took the photo?" He asks, nervously chewing his nails. I shrug, my mind racing.

"Was it those girls who took a photo with you? I noticed they were being kind of giggly." I reply, scrolling through all the replies on the tweet.

"Doesn't matter does it, its not like we're together?" Alex shrugs, pulling out his phone and going onto twitter. I feel my chest squeeze, of course we're not, why should I think differently. My phone buzzes twice, a message from Will and a post-notification for Alex - don't judge me, who doesn't have his post notifications on?

William - What's this about then?

With the message was a link to the tweet from Keemstar, nervously biting my lip, I reply back with a simple 'No idea'.

Going to check Alex's tweet, I cringe as I read it.

Alex @imallexx
More drama, can't keep out of my personal life can you Keem. I'm NOT dating anyone, fake news.

Sighing, I stand from my slouched position on the kitchen counter and walk to my room, leaving Alex to sit by his lonesome at the island table. Why does he seem so uncomfortable with the fact people think we're dating? It's not that unbelievable, right?

Tossing my phone on my bed, I slip out of my clothes and into my dressing gown. Walking into the bathroom I turn on the shower and fiddle with the tap until it's at the right temperature. I quickly lock both doors and look at myself in the mirror.

Brushing my hair out of my face I sigh again, the bathroom floor freezing my feet. Dropping my gown to the floor and kicking it to the side, I step into the shower, letting the hot water calm my tense muscles.

I just wish Alex could see me in that way, I thought we were getting somewhere today.

Rubbing my face under the streaming tap, I feel myself tear up.

In that moment something clicked. I don't like Will, at least not in that way. I didn't feel sparks when we kissed, or find myself smiling in his presence. I don't feel butterflies or blush when he talks to me.

I don't like Will.

I stay in the shower for a little while longer, washing my hair and cleaning my body with some weird strawberry body wash - that definitely did not smell like strawberries mind you - until finally the shower no longer makes me feel warm. Wrapping a fuzzy towel around myself, I unlock both doors and enter my room. Finding a soft pair of sweatpants and a jumper from Josh's merch line, I dry my hair and flop down on my bed.

Just as I take my laptop from my bedside table, a message pops up on my phone.

Darce xo - Hey lovely, wanna go clubbing tonight? There's this Japanese place I wanted to eat at first :)

Me - He didn't tell me why, you gotta spill when you come round. He's out with Will and Josh tonight so you're all good.

After that she replied with a simple okay and agreed to come over. Placing my laptop back down on the bedside table, I stand back up and walk out to the living room. There's a few hours until she gets here, so I may as well watch someone on the telly.

Flicking through Netflix, I find a show called Skins, looks decent enough.

Alex was now gone, I'm assuming he went out with James and Fraser again. I binge watch as many episodes as I can until Darce bursts through the door.

"Let's get ready babes." She jokes, throwing her hair over her shoulder.

Let's get ready to forget.
