I Fell In Love With A Fag

Chapter 10: What Are We Now?

  

I  busied myself with my Fashion Design project for the rest  of the week. Apparently, there was going to be a kinda Fashion show thing and kids from other classes were going to pick who won and who sucked. I had to be on point. I had a little help from Tori and Kurt which was amazing.
I really hadn't spoken to Alan since the Amusement park incident and I couldn't take him off my mind. The only thing keeping me sane was my project. I don't want to think he's avoiding me, but, it sure felt like it. Him acknowledging me as his girlfriend had literally stopped the way I felt about Tori. It was like the therapy I needed to just be Kiera when she was around. It was crazy how he had gotten me to switch in a snap. I have never felt like this for a guy. Oh dear God...

〽Alan's POV〽

   I've been avoiding Ki since the Amusement park. I  wasn't sure I should have done what I did. Calling her my girlfriend might not have been the best thing to do. I mean I like the girl, but, I'm not a "girl guy".  I prefer to hang with the guys. Very straightforward. I knew Kurt and Tori had been helping her with her Fashion show thing, but I couldn't. Putting her hopes up like that was a sour move.  I knew I was lying, but,  I have to make up for it somehow.  She must have noticed how I try so hard to not be around her. So I'm going to be at her fashion show.

〽Kiera's POV〽

  Getting ready for the Fashion show was hell to say the least. I mean it's not a huge deal- OK, maybe it is: it's sixty percent of  my overall grade- but it was too much work.  Miss Green went all out for this. She even got Kiki Kamanu to be on the panel deciding the winner and there was a cash prize. I'm going to die under all this pressure.
 

So far the Fashion show thing had been going smoothly. I'm showcasing last and that was so not helping my morale. I think I'm going to piss myself  soon. Bailey is currently showcasing and I'm terribly intimidated. And here I was thinking I knew everything about homeboy fashion. It turns out she knows even more about it than I do.
"Ki!" I heard a very familiar voice call my name.
"Alan?" I turned around to see him. "W-What are you doing here? I wasn't expecting to see you." Ohmifuckingosh! He came to see my showcase. My inner goddess was dropping a very bad ass nae nae. I was probably red as beet staring at him. I could feel a hot flush coming on. What the hell is happening to me?
"Whatchu  mean what am I doing here?" he cocked one sexy brow at me. "I'm here to support my girlfriend." I got that warm fuzzy feeling; eww ...; then I remembered that he'd been avoiding me since the Amusement park. You can't call someone your girlfriend and avoid them. I didn't respond. He began scratching his neck. At least he has the decency to look remorseful...

〽Alan' POV〽

I made my way backstage to see Ki. I found her soon enough and I called to her.  She was surprised to see me to say the least.
"Alan? W-what are you doing here? I wasn't expecting to see you" she said. So she had noticed my avoidance. Ouch. I decided to play it off. I'm Alan after all; no female can resist me.
"Whatchu mean what am I doing here? I'm here to support my girlfriend" I said cocking one sexy brow at me. I saw her flush. Good God Ki... Then just as suddenly, her eyes turned cold. She just stared at me saying nothing and her silence was killing me. No girl had ever made me feel like this before and I didn't know what to do. I scratched my neck uncomfortably.
"Look Ki, I know I've been kind of an asshole lately, but, I can explain..."
"No Alan. You don't call someone your girlfriend and then avoid them almost immediately afterwards. Look, I have a showcase to worry about. I'll see you around." she cut me off. Damn! I fucked up real bad. She walked away from me to brush up on her models and herself. Damn!

〽Kiera's POV〽
The silence between us was uncomfortable. I watched him scratch his neck a little longer. Then he spoke up.
"Look Ki, I know I've been kind of an asshole lately, but, I can explain... " Kind of?  How about the father of all assholes? His 'explanation' pissed me off more than I already was. How dare he?! I cut him off.  I wasn't up to hear any bullshit.
" No Alan. You don't call someone your girlfriend and then avoid them almost immediately afterwards. Look, I have a showcase to worry about. I'll see you around." With that, I walked away. Airing my anger had given me sort of confidence.
I went to do some last minute prep with my team. I'm going to win this...

My showcase went without a hitch. I was feeling pretty good about it. I was onstage with the rest of my Fashion Design class. You could touch the tension coming from everyone. Slowly people were eliminated till it was just Bailey and I onstage.
Kiki Kamanu made her way to the stage to join us. She was announcing the winner of the five thousand pound scholarship to London College of Fashion.
"We have cut the number of contenders to two. Standing before you are the designers with the most impressive showcases pertaining to the Homeboy theme they were given to work with: miss Kiera Summers and Miss Bailey Simon."
There was a round of applause. I was getting a kick out of being called a designer by the great Kiki Kamanu. It felt like karl Largafeld had just called me his best friend.
"In my hand is an envelope containing the name of the winner of this competition and five thousand pound scholarship to the London College of Fashion."  she ripped the envelope open. By now, my heart was in my mouth. "And the winner is... Miss Bailey Simon!!!" she announced. I felt like I had been sucker punched. I mean Bailey was a  very worthy opponent, but, it still hurt. I started to make my way off the stage when Miss Kamanu stopped me. "Kiera, where are you going? You also have a prize to claim." whatever smirk and been on Bailey's face automatically disappeared. "As first runner up, Miss Kiera Summers will intern with me for the summer."  She announced to the rest of the school. I almost pissed myself. Ohmifuckingosh!!!! I have an internship doing what I love! Aaaaaahhhhh... I saw Bailey go green with envy and Miss Green almost die from surprise. Kurt and Tori were cheering their heads off in the crowd. I couldn't believe it; this was even better than winning. I was elated... Till I caught Alan smiling at me.

Alan... What are  we now?
