AN- This is sort of an AU fic. I'm just experimenting with the character's personalities.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything but the storyline :D

"What about that girl?"
Alex looked at a girl who just entered the coffee shop.
"Harper, are you seriously going to make me do this?" Alex turned back to her friend.
"Heck yes! You lost the bet. Serves you right for doubting me. I told you I could refrain from talking about Justin for a month! By the way, didn't he look too cute today?" Harper gushed, "oh, what about that girl?" She pointed at a girl sitting at a table in the corner wearing all black, sporting numerous facial piercings.
"You know I was joking about the bet. And eww, no. Too goth for me." Alex cringed. "Look, if I have to do this, can I at least pick my own girl?"
"Ugh, fine. But let's go over the rules again." Harper said and Alex groaned in annoyance. "Okay, so you can't tell the girl about the bet, and you can't stop dating her until you get a kiss from her. It doesn't count if you kiss her first or ask her. She has to initiate one kiss before the bet is complete." Harper droned on.
"Fine, fine. Okay." Alex looked around the coffee shop at all of the girls. "I don't see anyone in here I like. Let's bail. I need to pick up a book for Justin.

"What book does Justin need? I bet it's something really interesting. Justin's so exciting." Harper rambled while following Alex through aisles of books.
"Oh, yeah. 'The Wonderful World of Wombats' sounds like a real page turner." Alex said sarcastically. "Ugh, I don't remember the author's name. Where's a librarian when you need-"
Alex crashed into something right as she turned down another aisle.
"Ow!" Alex groaned on the ground, rubbing her head as papers gently fell around her.
"Oh my gosh! Are you alright, Alex?" Harper asked, helping her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Alex mumbled.
"I am so sorry," a girl opposite from Alex said as she frantically got up and picked up her scattered books and papers, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"No, it's fine, really." Alex said brushing her shirt off, "Here, let me help." Alex bent down and picked up some papers.
"Oh, no it's fine." The girl bent back down at the same exact time Alex stood up, inevitably ending in another collision as the back of Alex's head forcefully met the girl's forehead with a THUD!
"Ow, again. Oh my god, I'm sorry." Alex apologized.
"No, it's okay. You just hit my face." The girl said, rubbing her forehead. She had long brown, wavy hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She was wearing a simple, loose white v-neck with skinny jeans and converse. There was a nametag pinned to her shirt that read "Mitchie".
"I guess we're even now."
Alex caught herself staring with her mouth slightly ajar, but quickly shook herself back to her usual cool self. "W-what?"
"I hurt you, you hurt me… we're a happy family… wow, that was lame…" the girl cringed and Alex laughed at her Barney reference.
Alex's cell phone buzzed in her pocket. "Oh, hang on, sorry." She answered the phone, "Hello? What? No, I'm-… I'm at the bookstore right now…"
The girl awkwardly shuffled all of her books as Alex kept talking.
"What kind of emergency?… levitated?… stuck to the ceiling?…"
The girl looked at Alex at her strange conversation.
"Okay. Whatever. Bye." Alex snapped her phone shut. "Sorry, I have a bit of an emergency at home uhh… oh, Mitchie." Alex looked back at her nametag. "I hope your face is okay." Alex said as she started backing away, stumbling over a table and Harper. "Ow. Whoa, Harper, where'd you come from?"
"I've been here the whole time."
Mitchie laughed to herself as she watched the girl's awkward exit.

"So, what'cha thinking about?" Harper asked as they drove from Alex's family's sub station. They had just spent the past two hours trying to un-stick Max from the ceiling and now were own their way to see a movie.
"What? What makes you think I'm thinking things? I'm not thinking things." Alex snapped out of her daze.
"Well, for one thing, you're driving like thirty miles under the speed limit, and you've been driving in silence for ten minutes with your thinking face on." Harper proceeded to mimic her expression by furrowing her brows, squinting her eyes, and sticking the tip of her tongue out of the side of her mouth.
"Psh, I don't make that face." They continued driving for a while in comfortable silence.
"You're doing it again!" Harper pointed an accusing finger at Alex's face. "What are you thinking?"
Alex sighed, "I don't know… I don't really feel like seeing a movie."
The truth was, Alex couldn't stop thinking about a certain brunette. 'Why was I such a loser? Alex Russo does not loose her cool. I've never been so aware of how I come off to a person…' Alex thought.
"Okay, well what do you want to do?" Harper asked.
"Uhh… I feel like going somewhere quiet… how about we go back to the bookstore and just… read?" Alex cringed thinking Harper would see through her plan to see Mitchie.
"Yeah, maybe you can talk to that one girl." Harper said
"What?!" Alex asked worriedly.
"You know, the worker you ran over. Maybe she can help you find that book for Justin." Harper replied.
"Oh, yeah. Right." Alex breathed out in relief.
"Why do you feel like reading all of a sudden? I don't think I've ever seen you read on your own accord." Harper asked.
"Uhh… you know." Alex mumbled.
"Oh, I know! You're just jealous of what me and Justin have! Yeah, you want to seem all smart because Justin's love for me is a threat to our friendship." Harper smiled knowingly. (Or so she thought)
"Psh, yeah right. I mean… Yeah! Right! You got me." Alex replied smoothly.
"Aww, you don't have to worry. But I do need to find a book on how to sew with rubber. I'm creating a new ensemble for my wardrobe." Harper said proudly.
