Alex's Point of View

I stumble along the school hallway and I saw a blonde tipped hair and chocolate colored hair in the roots. He had sandy colored eyes that stood beside a girl with blonde hair.

Why? This isn't normal.

It was Blake standing next to Cindy, no wander I haven't seen him in a long time around the school. He was with Cindy the whole time.

I shoot him a glare but he gave me a I-can-explain-later face, was he hypothesized by Cindy with money? Was he going to be the new person that she controls.

I pulled him aside after he chatted with Cindy and her Barbie gang.

"Are you crazy? You hanging out with her?" I asked him loudly almost hollering at him.

"No... I mean yes... I mean. Just let me explain first" I gave in a little and let him explain himself because I needed a explanation pronto.

"She's not who you think she is, she's different and she's special to me. I like her." My jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he said that.

"Your kidding right?!?"

"No I'm a serious."

"One day she'll just throw you away and you know it too. She just wants your money not you. She's aiming for Edwin, are you going to stick with her?"

"I know but I can change her, I know I can."

"That's fucking bullshit!" I yelled at him as I walk away from him and I glance over me and saw Edwin.

He was near Cindy acting like her puppet or something, I hated her.

I looked through my phone and saw a news report, there was going to be a giant party at the new opening restaurant. I looked at the list a name caught my eye : David Parson.

I analyzed the party it's at 6:00 pm. today. How was I going to be there?

I just had to break into the party in the back door...

I soon texted Charles about my plan for this evening and how I needed him to hack into the systems a bit. He agreed and said that he's not going inside of the party though.

That night everything was planned out my whole strategy for this mission.

I grabbed my fake ID that said I was Luke Python's assistant. My plan was to go into the party dressed as Luke's assistant. When I swipe my card it transfers Charles's computer into the building. Then he can delete any footage that I was in, so no one else would know I was there at all.

When I got inside I went to the bathroom to change into some formal clothes. Which was a red lace dress that was to my knee and it had sleeves that stopped at my elbows. I also had a mask on and so did everyone else at the party.

I stepped out of the bathroom and walked through the hallways. Soon I arrived at the party room, where there was about maybe 30 tables that 10 people could fit it.

On the middle of ceiling of the room was a huge chandelier that had crystals on them. There were lights that hung there which made the room sparkle a bit. I sat at a near the center of the room where I sat near a man with wavy pitched black hair and blue eyes.

I didn't know anyone there, until a little girl sat two seats down from me. I thought she was familiar for a second as I took a second glance at her, it was Ann.

Ann was in a white dress with a headband that had a giant whit flower on it. Soon the chair next to me slid open as I look at the person that's going to sit next to me. Why do I always see him at the wrong times?

It was Edwin with a suit with a black tie  and gelled back hair which I couldn't help to say that he looked fine. "Excuse me." He said as he looks over to Ann.

"How are you princess?" He asked Ann as she giggled when he called her princess.

He glance at me then he said,"Haven't I seen you some-"

He was interrupted by a man that stood in the center platform, he had a suit like the rest of the guys here. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this special day were we open this very restaurant." The man said through his microphone.

There were speakers everywhere so no matter where you are you could hear him, even from the bathroom. Which I think is a bit too much because no one wants to hear his voice when your using the bathroom.

The man continued to talk through the microphone about how much money it took to make the restaurant. They thanked the people that donated money to build the restaurant. One of the company that helped donate was 'Stars'.

"Also a special to 'Stars' and to David Parson, Mary Parson, and Edwin Jackson." The announcer said.

Three people stood up and other then Edwin there was another man. He was my target, David Parson!

The party finally started after they cut the ribbon that officially opened the restaurant. The waiters placed the food out in front of us one by one, we had a course meal.

The music was smooth and some of the couples started to go to the center stage and dance on it. "May I have a dance?" Edwin said beside me as he faced me, he put one of his hand out in front of me.

I put my hand on top,"Sure."

We got to the center platform where I place my right hand on his shoulder and my left hand in Edwin's hand. It surprised me when he put him left hand at my waist supporting me from behind.

The next song started it, it was 'Living Out Loud' by Ed Sheeren. "You look beautiful." He complimented me as we shifted our hands, both of my hands on his neck. While both of his hands were around my waist.

"Thank you, if I do so say myself. You also look handsome with a suit, you can pull it off pretty well yourself." I said to him as I turn and glanced over at David.

He laughed at me for a bit but he knew who I was. "Blackout, it's you"

"You have quite a memory Edwin Jackson, I need an answer from you. Do you know David Parson?" He looked at me amused then nodded to my question.

"You could say I know him a bit too well, he's my brother. Step-brother. But either way I still hate him." He told me with a bit of anger in his voice.

"Do you mind if I ask you why you hate him?" I was starting to be curious about his relationship with David Parson.

"He's trying to take over my dad's money, business, power, and fame. He's my enemy, he's going to distort the only memory left of my mom, the company." He explained.

"If you don't like something then you change it or stand up against it. You tell them what's right and how they should change."

"It's not that easy B." He told me as he stared at me, the mask cover most of my face but not my eyes. "It's different for me." He said to me as he let of one of his hands from my waist and took my right hand from his neck. He held my hand now.

He let go of the other hand around my waist and rotated my right hand which made me twirl. Then I come back to him even closer to his chest then before.

"Your first introduction to me was quite surprising wouldn't you say to?" He grinned at me as I remember it myself, how I threatened him and wrote 'Blackout' on his hand. I laughed," I'm quite proud of that." I admitted to him.

"Your still a mystery to me." He stated as he pulled me in even closer to me, I bite my lip.

"That's good because I want to stay that way to you." I told him as he stared at me with curious eyes and a smirk.

"Who in the world are you?" He asked me.

"I guess you'll never know." I smirked back at him.
