you and alex are classmates, and you guys aren't close. however, you guys DM each other on instagram, though. you guys never talk much in real life too.

one day, you and your friends were hanging out, and they dare you to text him either something funny, or a pickup line. he replied back, asking if you were hitting on him. you said no, and apologized, saying your friends made you. you kept on apologizing, because you felt bad, and he said it was fine. one of his friends text you, asking if you like him because you keep texting him. you deny that, explaining everything.

back in school on monday, alex's friends (luca, ethan, leo, theo, and brandon) approach you. brandon asks, "do you actually like alex or something?"

you wanna lie so bad, but the truth is, you actually do. but, just a bit. you don't know if he feels the same way or not, since y'all don't talk a lot. what do you say to his friends?
