MISFIT ❁ ALEX ALVAREZ

Locked Down ✰

Aria's POV

"Fourth Doctor and the TARDIS? I love it." I complimented Elena and Syd's Halloween costumes, as I walked into the Alvarez apartment.

"You're such a nerd." Alex groaned, making me slap him in the arm 

"Ah. You guys look great. And, Alex... you look so handsome. And you look so beautiful, Aria." Penelope smiled as she ushered Elena and Sydney out the door

"It's my first Bar Mitzvah. I don't want to look like a schlemiel. And I guess Aria did Okay." Alex shrugged

"Fight me. I look amazing." I snapped at him, admiring my own dress

Alex rolled his eyes playfully, "Dr. Berkowitz has been teaching me Yiddish."

"The kid's a natural. I'm plotzing with nachas." Dr. B said

"Ay, papito, I cant believe it's your first sleepover." Penelope smiled, gently squeezing his shoulders

"Yeah. Only eight years short after all my friends had their first sleepover." He sarcastically added

"Hey! Be thankful that Abuelita and I are being so cool about it." Penelope said

I sat next to Alex on the couch and watched him on his phone, as Elena and Syd came waddling back in, "Okay, I color coded the panel schedule so we can hit as many as we can before the Dungeons & Dragons session."

"Blink twice if you need help." I joked, earning a playful glare from the older girl

"You guys gotta get moving. Let's go! Come on! I have so much studying to do." Penelope insisted, rushing everyone out the door.

Once we got out the door, we all went separate ways, Alex and I kicking the back of each others knees as we walked, "You look great by the way."

"I thought I look, and I quote, okay" I laughed 

"Obviously I was joking, you look incredible." He smiled, as a little color appeared in his cheeks

I blushed, "Thanks, Alex. You look great too."

I was about to say something else, when we were stopped by a police announcement, warning everyone that there was a murderer on the loose.

We both shrugged, not really worried about it, and headed back to the apartment, greeting a nervous Penelope at the door, "Oh, you guys are back. Great, great."

"There's a police helicopter out there. They're not letting us leave." Alex said

A couple minutes later, we were all sat in the living room. There was no room on the couch, so I squeezed into the side chair with Alex, laying my legs across his so I didn't squish him to death.

"For your own safety, please remain inside until further notice." A cop from a helicopter warned, as he flew around outside.

"We're going to miss the masquerade and the dance party. And the Firefly panel, the Zombie Run, and the Buffy sing-a-long, and the super gay Supergirl meet up." Elena listed
