"Sowy," I cooed, pouting my bottom lip.

"Apology not accepted."

"Pretty please?" I said widening my eyes like a doll for extra persuasion. Alice rolled her eyes and walked towards me, wrapping her arms around me. I hugged her tightly, and she wraps her legs around my waist like the koala she is.

"It's okay, I guess you weren't ready to hear that yet," she says.

I'm still not ready but it's settling in. Maybe I shouldn't let my love go like that, maybe I should keep it, or maybe I should let it fly away. I was sure about something though, fate would tell. I'll always love Alexandra, but right now I have to dwell on myself.

Alice and I sat side by side in our usual lunch table. Today seem to have been grape day. We had toasted bread and grape jelly, grapes, grape juice, grape dipped in chocolate, and fruit salad with extra amounts of grape. Not that bad, it's better than school lunch if you ask me.

Suddenly a plate slides in the table, and then two more. Alice and I whispered "what the hell?" At each other before looking up, tilting our heads and leaning our cheek on our hand all synchronized-looking. It was Aaliyah, Andre and Arturo, very surprisingly because they were usually in the "old, calmed, whispering" side of the room, but today they took it a notch upwards sitting here.

"Hi?" I said.

"Can we sit here?" Aaliyah asked, giving me a smile. It's so beautiful when black women just have straight, perfect set of stark white teeth. Like, why? How? Please teach me the trick. I nodded, trying to snap out of my bubble. Her ass and curves don't help. This place really makes changes in you, it makes you needy, stronger, more blunt. "You're part of the X squad now, Specialty X Students usually hang out together."

"Is that my cue to leave?" Alice asks.

"No," I told her commandingly. Andre, Arturo and Aaliyah grinned widely like my commando mode was something to be proud of. I guess then, because that was a characteristic that settled me in a Specialty X. Alice was used to me by now, all as long as she could touch my hair.

"Where is my dear, hottest, most beloved bachelor?" Alice asks using my hair as a mustache, plucking her lips.

"Is that me?" Kane asks with a sad face, clearly disliking his title. Alice nods still plucking her lips to hold up the mustache she's doing with my hair. "Why the change of seating arrangements?" He asks, sitting beside Andre.

"Because..." Andre says... "A cow... It goes moo... You know?... So like... It ate our table?..." Okay no, someone help him out. Kane looks over his shoulder and the table is right there, all by itself. "It puked it back out," Andre says shrugging.

"They just wanted to sit with me because I'm more fun," I said, smiling widely and winking teasingly. However he winks back and I had to like, cross my legs and take a deep breath before I had a massive seizure. I think he didn't notice though, that was a good thing.

"I don't doubt it," Kane says.

"Yes, I support that thesis," Alice says using my hair as a wig now. She's blondie so she's using my brunette long hair as a comparison, and I like that she prefers her hair. She's beautiful the way she is.

"Statement, not thesis," I correct.

"Testament," she nods, and then clicks her tongue, "got it." Haha.

I laughed, looking away and taking a grape. "How old are you, Irina?" Arturo asks, throwing a grape up in the air and Andre leans back, catching it in his mouth and fist bumping the air in pride.
