What the hell. Alex likes me are you kidding me right now. I dont understand how this is even possible. All I can think about is the dream. Oh my God that dream. The kiss, damn at least the kiss was real. I can't imagine having a boyfriend, heck I didn't even think that it  would be possible. Guys have never shown that interest in me before and I'm pretty starstrucked right now.

There's a knock on my door.

"Jianna are you ready ?"  The door opens and Skyler reveals herself.

"Hey, yea almost ready." She plops down on the bed and let's out a loud groan. "I so don't wanna go to church today. "

"Then why go? " I join her on the bed.

"Well seeing that I'm singing today I don't think I can miss this Sunday."

"Your singing ? Wait you can sing ? " This is shocking I've seen dance trophies and pictures in her room but never knew she could sing. Well I guess we all have our hidden talents.

She burst into hysterical laughter. " No! Me sing please I'll save that for Tyler he can, I'll stick to dance. Please this girl sing ? Haha. You must not like your eardrums."

"So since there is no reason to again I'll ask, why go to church ? "

"My mom caught Tyler coming in this morning and after her assumptions being correct decided to him to church with her and Gabe. Dad had an emergency at work so yea church."

My nose is buzzing from whatever Brianna is cooking in the kitchen.



The ride to the church seemed oddly familiar it wasn't until we arrived I noticed that I use to attending this church prior to boarding school. When we entered i saw my old friend David, his father was the pastor of this church, they use to carry be with them because my parents were either too busy or too tired to bring me. As a kid I enjoyed church, I sang on the choir and came to youth meetings with David and his older sisters and brother.


"Well your a sight for sore eyes, my my Jianna I do declare, or are you not into ancient southern talking anymore." we both laugh as he reminded me about my past obsessions. I loved old southern movies and how they spoke, i was determined that it would come back in style one day but I'm yet to see that happening.



"Hi David, i see your still dressing like Stewart Little to church." i chuckle as he pulls me into a warm embrace. I hear someone clear their throat behind me. "My bad, David these are my roommates, Brianna and Tobia and this is Tobia's boyfriend Troy." he shook their hands with a warm smile. " And this is ..."


"I already know who they are, but they don't know me, I'm David and i go to your school." he shook Sky's hand and gave her a killer smile, somebody's barking up the wrong tree. When he shook Tyler's his smile quickly faded, Tyler gave him his best poker face.


"Well i do hope you guys enjoy the service, its youth Sunday, which the young people of the church planned today's proceedings. There will be a few different things, fa from a normal service but its just the way we feel will be best to express ourselves."


We all sat beside Mrs. Fennel, Tyler was already dreading being here along with Troy but the rest of us were pretty excited.


Before the service started David pulled me to the back of the church.

" JiJi I'm desperate the lead isn't here and we need to start like now."

"So why am I here? I haven't sang since the last time i was here."

" Jianna it's your song, you know this song like the back of your hand, please I'm begging you." he gave me those eyes that i could never say no to as a kid, i can't believe after all these years I'm still caving from his puppy dog eyes.


"Ok fine but you owe me." he hugged me tight and spun me around.


"Thank you, thank you thank you. Here's your mic your on now."


I heard the familiar introduction of the music and after one deep breath I'm home.

After church i was bombarded with quizzical looks from everyone except Mrs.Fennel continuously congratulated me and said I should use my make use of my talent unlike some people, I guess she was hinting at Tyler seeing that she kept looking at him. At about 4:30 we dropped Tobia, Troy and Brianna at the train station. Brianna planned on coming back on the weekend and stay until the interviews have gone Wednesday after next. Once again i was home alone Marcus wasn't back yet and my parents called and said they'd be back Monday in the Evening.



I still haven't replied to Alex's invitation, truth is I was confused about him asking me out and a little shocked. Alex seems like the type that would already have a girlfriend, I mean what would he want with me. Plus i still am kinda confused about the Tyler situation, I mean he sent me some real hard mixed signals I can't get my mind around. Well he stayed out with me and got in trouble sneaking in even though it wasn't that late, or did he stay out later after i left?


I take my phone and begin to explore. I download all the apps that I've wanted for so long, especially Instagram. I was kinda into tumblr alot and my blog was very successful, i wasn't verified or anything but i had a great amount of followers. No one knew about my tumblr I kept it hidden. It was a place where i could be free, blog what i want, my moods, my desires, food, like my love love for food porn was real I swear i needed rehab. I had an addiction when it came to pictures , don't ask me why i just did ok.


After an impressive two hours of Instagram stalking and following people from school, I decide to go next door I'm pretty sure Mrs.Fennel wouldn't mind feeding me since i was starving. When i walked over i had my phone texting Sky letting her know i was on my way over. Gabe was the one who let me in because Sky was up in her room and i have no idea Tyler is. The first thing i did was go to the kitchen and let Mrs.Fennel know i was here and that i was staying for dinner. on my way upstairs, just when I thought I'd have Tyler alone to be there low and behold there he is Alex.


"Jianna hey." he tried to get my attention but like the coward I am I bolted towards Sky's room like the dork I am.


"Woah where's the fire speedy." Skyler remarked after I bolted in her room and locked the door behind me. Instead of hyperventilating like a buffoon i decide to tell her.


"He asked me out last night and i don't know what to do because I'm sure i don't like him like that and i don't wanna hurt his feelings but at the same time I don't want to give him the wrong idea you now. So when i saw him awhile ago I bolted to your room."




"Wait, what! Tyler asked you out."


"No Alex did." with those last words she had an angry look on her face whoops.


" Ohh Hell No!"
