I'll pick you up at 5
‘Really?’ Maggie chuckled, pulling up a chair beside Alex.
The redhead glanced up at her, rolling her eyes playfully. ‘Shouldn’t you be working?’
Maggie shrugged. ‘This is more fun.’
Alex smiled at her, a blush creeping up her neck as it usually does whenever Maggie is around. Alex hated that she couldn’t control her brain when she was around the other girl, it’s like it short-circuits as soon as she sees her.
‘Alex!’ Two guys appeared in front of the girls. ‘Oh hey, sorry. I’m Winn, this is James.’
‘Hey, I’m Maggie.’ She raised a hand slightly.
Winn nodded slowly. ‘So you’re Maggie…’
The brunette frowned slightly. ‘What’s that supposed to mean?’
‘Nothing, nothing!’ Winn put his hands up. ‘It’s just nice to finally meet the Danvers sister’s new favourite person.’
Maggie grinned immediately, turning to Alex with a raised eyebrow. ‘I’m your new favourite person?’
Alex scoffed, red cheeks on show. ‘What? No! No that’s not- okay, I mean you’re okay I suppose.’
‘Yeah, okay, that’s why we feel like we already knew her before we met her?’ James teased, Winn chuckling beside him.
‘I suggest the two of you shut your faces right now.’ Alex glared at the boys.
The brunette smirked beside her, pushing her hair behind her ear. ‘Don’t worry Danvers, you’re my new favourite person too. Although I’ve gotta say, angry Alex is…something else.’
Alex blushed once again, glancing up to see Winn and James with raised eyebrows, stifling laughs.
‘We should go, erm, Kara said to tell you to stop studying for the day before your brain melts from overuse.’ James shrugged.
The redhead rolled her eyes. ‘She’s so dramatic. I’ll be fine.’
‘Actually.’ Maggie said. ‘I was going to ask if you wanted to do something tonight?’
‘Oh?’
Maggie shrugged. ‘If you want to? I mean, it could be fun, and it’d get Kara off your case.’
Alex nodded. ‘Yeah, sure. That’d be good.’
‘Cool, I should get back to work but I’ll give you a text and arrange times, yeah?’ She stood up from her seat.
‘Okay, thanks.’ Alex responded before Maggie left, leaving her with very smug looking James and Winn.
She rolled her eyes. ‘Oh shut it you two.
But she had a smile on her face anyway.
When she told Kara, the girl squealed ‘Alex is it a date?!’
‘No! It’s just friends hanging out...I think?’ Alex told her sister, her brain starting to go into overdrive at the thought that she didn’t actually know what this was.
‘But what if it is? Maybe you should ask her?’
‘I can’t do that!’ Alex threw her hands up. ‘It’d look so weird.’
Kara rolled her eyes at her big sister.
‘I’ll just go, and then see what happens I guess?’ Alex shrugged, jumping slightly when her phone buzzed.
‘Oh my god, is that her now?’ Kara asked. ‘You’re blushing ALEX, YOU ARE BLUSHING.’
