CHAPTER 35:

June’s POV:

“Thanks for letting me stay here for the night” I said nervously.

With what just happened, I don’t think it would be possible for me to stay in Xander’s room ever again

What I had seen had cursed my eyes forever.

It did give me a wake-up call though! Me and Xander will never be together.

“no biggie; besides we need to talk” she plopped the nearest bean-bag.

I wasn’t feeling as energetic as usual.

“sure, what do you want to talk about?” Angela began to grin like she had some devious plan to take over the world with ponies and unicorns.

“I heard that” she caught me off guard. Forgotten she could read minds.

“besides we’re not talking about me, we’re talking about you and what’s bothering you at this point” she moved closer.

“I know you don’t like Layla, neither do I or my brothers. Secondly, I’ve noticed how you act around Xander”

“w-what do you m-mean” my voice cracked. There’s no need to panic. She could mean anything else after all.

It’s not like she could mean what I think she means.

“you have feeling for him don’tcha?” she winked and my face went bright red.

“is it THAT obvious?” I was too embarrassed to look at her.

What if everyone knew about the little crush, I had on Xander?

What would they do to me?

“don’t worry I won’t tell and so far, it’s only me that knows” Phew. That was a really close one.

“thank you” I smiled. it was so nice of her to keep my secret.

“now to lighten the mood; can you dance?” this has to be some kind of prank. Shamefully, I shook my head.

“there’s no shame in that. If I’m being honest, I would be shocked if you knew how to dance. Want me to teach you?” she jumped off the bean-bag.

This might be a good way to forget everything that’s happening. Who knows, this’ll come in handy someday.

“yeah, why not” I got up. Angela placed her hand on my waist and placed my hands on her shoulder.

This was going to be really awkward. “since you don’t know how to dance, I’ll play the role of the guy, ok?” I nodded.

She began to move to the beat of an imaginary song and I tried to keep up with her by following the rhythm.

I couldn’t look up because the fear of stepping on her feet was too much.

“eyes up!” she was a bit firm and my head rose up immediately.

Slowly, I was getting the hang of it. maybe this isn’t so bad after all.

“what type of dance is this?” I nervously asked.

“it’s called a ‘slow-dance’. Would you like to try it out with Seth? I could fetch him for you” I would be beyond terrified to dance with a guy.

Especially now.

“n-no thanks I’m good” I said nervously. There was a knock and Angela went to answer it.

To be honest, it was fun to dance though it was a slow one. Maybe I could learn other types later on.

“sorry June, I’ve gotta jet. The royal family is needed for some kind of function and unfortunately, we ALL have to go” she dug through her enormous closet looking for what to wear.
