MISFIT ❁ ALEX ALVAREZ

Exclusive ✰

Aria's POV

"I smell food." I cheered, walking into the Alvarez apartment with a large smile on my taste at the thought of food

I walked towards the table where Elena and Alex sat and made Alex scoot, so I could sit with him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked

"I was coming to ask you a question, but then I smelt food and now I'm hungry." I shrugged

"Did you know Alex has a secret girlfriend?" Elena smirked, wiggling her eyebrows

I wanted to frown but I forced myself to smile, quietly responding, "What? No. He would have told me."

"Exactly." Alex agreed

I felt a little relieved, but still hurt for some reason.

"Hey, come on, no phones at dinner." Penelope snapped coming into the room, "Hey, little Schneider."

"Sort of offended by the greeting." I admitted

Her phone rang and she giggled at the message, as we all gave her a look, "What? This could be Dr. Berkowitz."

Lydia came out of the kitchen with two plates and handed me one, saving the other for herself.

"Thank you." I smiled, picking up a fork from the table, then quickly remembering Lydia would whoop my ass if we didn't pray first

"But you laughed. Leslie's jokes are not funny." Lydia added, referring back to what Penelope had said

"Well, he was nice enough to let me come home early so we could all eat together. He had plans so it worked out." Penelope said

I instantly remembered that Schneider asked me to clean my room before he got home, and I hadn't done it yet.

"Oh, crap. I got to go. I'm taking this with me." I shouted, picking up my plate and running out their door.

I ran back in, "I'll wash it and bring it back. Okay, bye."

________

After an hour of cleaning up random water bottles in my room, Elena forced me to come back to the apartment to help her figure out Alex's so called "girlfriend."

"Okay. So your secret girlfriend is P...Pearl? Patricia? Padmini? Ooh...Maybe P's not a student. Mrs. Perez, the lunch lady?" Elena accused

Alex and I looked at her like she was crazy, "Yeah. I have a thing for hairnets and tater breath."

"I mean she makes killer chicken tacos. Wouldn't blame you." I shrugged

"I'm going to find out who your secret girlfriend is." Elena shouted, following him down the hallway

"Papito, if you have a secret girlfriend, I need to know about it. Also, you're not allowed to have a girlfriend or keep secrets." Penelope yelled
