No, I Don't Love Her!

Chapter 1-Alex

You awoke to the sound of a knock on your door. "Y/n, breakfast is almost ready." You yawned and stood up.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute, thanks Em!" Emma was one of your best friends, along with Enoch and Olive

You'd joined Miss Peregrine's loop after your own  had been destroyed. You barley managed to escape the hollows that had managed to kill everyone else. Well, except for your boyfriend, Alex, who'd gotten out and fled to a different loop. It took months just to locate each other. Today he'd be coming to stay for a month. And you couldn't be more excited.

You changed into your usual simple long sleeve blue dress and went downstairs. You stepped into the kitchen to find Olive, Emma, Fiona, and Miss Peregrine. "Olive, Emma, you know what today is?" Emma looked at the other girl but Olive just shrugged.

"We don't know, care to explain?" Emma said with a smile as Olive started the tea.

"My boyfriend, Alex, is coming to stay for a month! I'm so excited for you guys to meet him!"

Olive grinned and the tea finished boiling. "Ah, how could I have forgotten? We teased you for days when we found out." She let out a small laugh. "You'd said he'd be here sometime after lunch, right?"

"Yeah! I hope the day passes fast until then." You grinned as Olive poured four cups of tea. One for herself, Emma, you, and Miss Peregrine. Everyone else preferred water, milk, or coffee to start their day.

"Breakfast is ready. To the table, children." Miss Peregrine spoke. She called everyone children, though you were twenty three.

Everyone filed into the dining room and sat down in their usual seats. On your right was Miss Peregrine at the head of the table. And on your left was Emma. Enoch and Olive sat across from the both of you.

Miss P gave the word to start eating. Though you were never very hungry in the morning, even less so today. So you just took two thin slices of carrot and waited  for everyone else to finish eating.

Once breakfast was over everyone began doing their daily chores. It was your job to wash the dishes after every meal. And Claire had to dry them for you. You both finished the task and put away the dishes before going outside. Due to reset there weren't many chores to do. No one had more than two jobs each. Because yours was the worst in the house, you only had one.

Soon enough lunch ended, and you were putting away the last plate when there was a knock at the door. You stepped out into the hall just as Miss Peregrine opened it. "Hello, I'm sure Miss Kestrel let you know I'd be coming today."

"Indeed, we've been expecting you. Come in." She stepped aside to let Alex in. He thanked her and walked in, immediately spotting you.

He set his luggage down and ran over to hug you. "Y/n! I missed you so much!"

You laughed and hugged him back. "I missed you too. Now let me introduce you to everyone." Bronwyn walked in to take his luggage to him room. "This is Bronwyn, she's  as strong as ten men."

You both began walking around the house, introducing everyone. "The two playing soccer there. The invisible one is Millard. And the second one is Hugh, he has bees living inside him." You then pointed to someone reading, sat against a hedge. "Thats Horace, her can project his dreams." Next you introduced Claire, the twins, and Fiona.

The only once's he had left to meet were your three friends, who you found in Enoch's room watching  fight. Afterwords you explained their peculiarities.

"Pretty cool." Alex pointed to Olive and said a single word; "Fire." Then to Emma, "Air." And lastly himself. "Water." He noticed they were confused so he explained. "I can manipulate and breathe underwater."
