Dysphoria /1/

Chapter 8

Night donned upon them and it was time for all of them to get their rest for tomorrow's training session.

After her overwhelming encounter with Vanoss, Alice went straight downstairs and ate some food to forget about Vanoss. She, out of all people, didn't need or want to think about her gang leader.

Now, Alice was ready for bed and got under the covers. It probably should have felt weird sleeping next to her best friend, but she was comfortable next to him. Delirious was in bed, already sleeping so Alice took the time to study him.

His mouth was open as he slept and his hair was a complete mess. Jonathan had medium lengthed hair and usually he quiffed it up, but he went to bed with his hair unstyled of course. When that happened, his hair was everywhere. Little strands of soft brown hair sticking up everywhere.

"Boo!" Jonathon had opened his eyes and grabbed the smaller girl. Alice had brought her fist up and accidentally punched Delirious in the chest.

"Jonathan! I'm so sorry." She put her hand on his chest gently and realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt under the covers, not that it mattered. "Are you okay?"

He groaned in response. "I'm fine, Ally. Its my fault for scaring you." Jonathon sat up, taking the blanket off him, sending Alice into another wave of shock.

Being the person she was, she couldn't help but compare him and Vanoss. Although Vanoss was more buff, Delirious was still fit and it showed. She averted her eyes to her hands, catching Delirious' attention.

"If you're uncomfortable, I can go put a shirt on," Jonathan asked with a smile.

"Its fine Jonathan. I'm just not used to seeing you like this." Alice said truthfully. She wasn't used to seeing most guys with their shirts off and found it a bit unsettling.

"I understand. After all, you're a virgin," Jonathan commented.

He knew Alice and he knew that she was never one to be intimate. Sex was intimate and Alice would have avoided that completely. The brown haired boy also knew she had her first kiss already, but some kisses weren't intimate either.

She grabbed a pillow and hit him with it several times, but he wouldn't stop laughing.

"I'm going to sleep," the annoyed girl stated and let her head rest on the pillow. "Night dumbass."

"Good night, Ally." The lights turned off and she felt him crawl back into bed next to her.

A loud, blaring sound awoke Alice from her sleep and she looked up to see Vanoss holding a trumpet.

"Why do you have that?" She asked in annoyance.

"Used to wake everyone up with this until they started throwing things at me when I woke them up," he shrugged. "Delirious is already downstairs if you're wondering and Moo just made breakfast."

Alice got up from the bed and quickly brushed her hair before going downstairs with Vanoss. Everyone was sitting at the table, waiting for the bacon, eggs, and toast Moo had made.

She took the empty seat between Terroriser and Nogla. Since Vanoss had said training started at seven, Alice figured that it was around six and that they'd be heading to the gym after breakfast.

Nogla smirked. "Can't seem to stay away, can you?"

Alice swatted Daithi's arm. She didn't know if their kiss was a one time thing, but the raven haired girl did know that she had no emotional interest in the dark haired lad next to her.

"Leave the girl alone, Nogla. Its too early in the morning and this was the only open seat," Terroriser spoke in for Alice. Nogla huffed and ate his food in silence.
