What a jokester
Alistair was the class clown in your school, pranking everyone but you.
You thought maybe it was because you were his best friend all through school until his (now ex) girlfriend drove a wedge between you two. You thought when they broke up, he'd apologise but with his ego that was just wishful thinking.
He still listened to you and only you, even if you had drifted apart.
If you had a headache, he'd be quiet. If you thought he went too far, he'd apologise. If someone made fun of you, he'd tell them to knock it off.
But never did you think he would be stood at your doorstep in the rain with a bouquet of your favourite flowers, asking you to be his prom date. You thought it was a joke , so you laughed. But he frowned and lifted your chin up to look him in the eyes.
"Laughing at a confession of my feelings? How cruel... And i thought I was egotistical ." A small smirk played on his lips.
