It was mostly a boring summer for Julie and Alex. They were best of friends third grade. Now that they were going into senior year at the age of eighteen, they had grown into having a group of friends to hang around with. The only thing Alex feared, was that most of these friends were guys, and he didnât want Julie to feel left out or uncomfortable. This was far from how things would be.
The guys never did mind having Julie around. She was your basic tom boy when it came to being around the friends. She completely hated dresses and would only wear them when forced to. She was five foot four inches, and had a cute flat tummy aside from the little baby fat. Her legs were a little long, but the kakis and knee long shorts she wore kept her legs less revealing and attractive. Her c-cupped breast sometimes stood out in the shirts she wore, and on occasions her outfits would reveal the curves of her luscious hips. If this wasnât enough to die for, her luscious and pouty lips that went along with her dark blue eyes and black long hair could also draw attention if she would let it down instead of through a ball cap in a pony-tail.
As for Alex, he had long brownish hair to his mid-back that was always in a pony-tail, and his deep sea eyes always were able to clearly show his emotions. He was about five foot nine with a medium toned body. He usually wore black, and never liked the idea of wearing ties or belts if he could help it.
Throughout freshman year, people would joke about Alex and Julie being a couple. They would soon be silenced after Julie intimidated them with her fists. Although she hid it well, she had grown slight feelings for Alex, but she didnât want anyone to know, especially him. Little did she know he had similar feelings deep inside that he didnât even realize fully. That would all soon change for them both.
The summer fair was occurring this week and the two had already gone out with their friends once. They had decided that they would go again, and try to win more games, as well as Julieâs goal to get Alex to ride all their rides. She knew that if they went today, she would have to be quick. Alex already forewarned her that he could only go for a couple of hours, and then he was going to hang out with the guys. He tried to explain to her already that she wouldnât like it this time, because they were going to do serious guy things. She didnât understand and was a bit upset, but still had her determination.
âCome on Alex! We only have four hours and you said you would at least try SOME of the rides!â exclaimed Julie while trying to make him hurry. She loved the rides, they were one of her favorite parts. She was wearing her kaki shorts and a black shirt that showed off her figure a bit, but not enough to get people to glance right away.
âIâm coming, Iâm coming! I donât see why you like these rides, Jules. They arenât the safest you know. Every year they tear them down, and set them back up, all to do it over and over again,â sighed Alex. He knew his excuse was a lost attempt, but he still felt the need to inform her about this.
âAnd your point? Come on, at least three rides, or are you going to be more of a pussy than even me?â she taunted. Not wanting her to get him on this, he agreed. The two went on three rides and played various games to see who was better. On skill games they were evenly matched. Alex dominated the machine and coin pushing games, whereas Julie outmatched him in all the games of chance and guessing on the color.
âWe have about forty-five minutes left, Jules. We better hurry before I go,â Alex implored. He knew she wouldnât let him off easy, but as always, his hopes of her being tired and ready to go remained.
Julie smirked, replying with a comment that could only bring some argument. âWell, if you go now, Iâll have to go with you to the guys, wonât I?â
âJules, I told you already. You wonât like it, trust me.â
âTough, Iâm going.â
Sighing, Alex asked, âAlright Jules, what do I have to do so you wonât go?â
âAre you trying to bribe me? Alright, letâs see. You have to go on the bungee with me.â
âWhat!? No way, Jules. You know I hate heights. Thatâs not fair at all.â
âOh well. Guess Iâm going. Or do I have to do something you want in order to go?â
Stammering for some way to win against her, Alex had to work on an idea that he strongly knew she wouldnât do. Then it finally clicked, âYou have to wear a dress or a lady-like skirt like a business woman, tomorrow. Howâs that sound?â
âFine. Iâll do it then,â agreed Julie. She knew that it wasnât something she liked, but at the same time, she could just break the agreement tomorrow after all is said and done. Alex would forgive her anyway, he was nice like that.
As they left, Alex grew a bit worried that the guys would gross her out with their plans. They had planned on watching a few porn videos one of the guys found. He knew they would still watch it even if she was there, and he didnât want her to think of them wrong. What he seriously feared though was that one of the guys might try to make a move on his best friend and she might get hurt and he wouldnât be able to protect her.
By the time they got to the house, Alex had tried his hardest to not show his emotions, nor make eye to eye contact with Julie. She rang the doorbell and one of their friends, Bobby, answered. âJulie! I didnât know you were coming. Woah, you are one wild chica.â Bobby stopped his rambling when he not only noticed Alexâs glares but the big glare he got from Julie for calling her a chica.
After letting them in, he led them downstairs to where everything was set up. The food was set on a big table in the middle, and all the guys were sitting on the couch, aside from one seat they left for Alex. They all were shocked to see Julie but offered her a seat next to them. âShe sits with me,â said Alex with a light growl. The two shared the seat and Alex whispered into Julieâs ear. âJules are you sure about this? Weâre going to be watching porn, and I donât want the guys to try to act funny on you. Aight? If they do, you tell me and Iâll kick some ass.â
