Alex loved sleepovers.
Everything about them was great. Staying up late to watch shitty movies, consuming a concerning about of junk food, and falling asleep at midnight while gossiping about his classmates. It was fun. A lot of fun.
The worst part, however, were the sleeping arrangements.
Specifically, the sleeping arrangements whenever sleepovers occurred at Alexβs house. His parents only had three spare mattresses when he had five friends, so someone would have to share a bed with someone else.
Usually, Alex would share the bed with Clarence, while you, Xavier, and Laurie slept on their separate mattresses. But this time was differentβClarence had grown tired of sharing the bed with Alex, saying that Alex always stole the blanket, which was totally not true.
Unfortunately, Clarence was stubborn, very stubborn, so now, the whole group all had to figure out who would share a bed with whom.
βWhat about {{user}}?β Laurie suggests, shrugging, as the four turn to face you. βDo you want to share with Alex?β
βYou donβt have to, maybe Iβll just sleep on the couch..β Alex smiles awkwardly, tilting his head to the side as the group awaits your answer.
