Chapter 17

It was already Saturday and Alice slumepd infront of the laptop, staring at Danny's picture.

"Sweetie, I'm on my way to the raid, give Dad a luck?" her father said at her doorway.

She put on a smile and kissed his cheek, "Catch the crazies for me." she said and watched him go downstairs.

Her phone rang again, she knew that it was Danny but she just can't go and answer it right now. She might end up crying and he'll even regret himself on acting harshly.

He needs a new life, Ali. And you're not part of that. You tried being his friend but it's not going to work like that.

The voice in her head was right.

She took the phone and pressed the red button. Then a message popped.

Danny: I'm really sorry, Alice. It was selfish of me to do that, just talk to me.

Alice placed the phone in her drawer and went back to her laptop, typing endlessly on things to research about.

Random facts like how can a fingerprint differ from each person. How the brain managed to call itself a brain.

She needed to wore her own brain out, she needs to just sleep it off and forget the whole idea of being Danny's friend.

At least she knew she was thinking rationally.

Jane took a deep breath and looked at herself at the mirror, she was wearing a strapless canary yellow dress that stopped above her knees. Wesley placed a kiss on her bare shoulder and retrieved a necklace with a letter 'W'

"To tell everyone that you are mine." he whispered to her ear and clasped the necklace. She fidgeted with it and smiled, "Beautiful as always."

Jane turned around and showed him the flower thingy that you need to pin. He grimaced but let her pin it.

She poked him about two times, when he took out the yellow tulip corsage she grinned.

"Why do girls always don't get painful accessory?" Wesley asked, "I mean, you don't get poked by pins."

"Yeah, but we have earrings, which is painful when you don't have piercings." she reasoned out and kissed his pouting lips.

She pulled his hands and saw that her father wasn't even excited that his daughter was going to the prom, "Have fun." was all he hollered.

When they got in the car, Jane felt a little panicky. It was like in the back of her mind she shouldn't go. But she pushed that away and let Wesley drive her to school, where other students were already waiting.

Beethoven tugged on the black bow tie on his neck, his hair gelled to the side. He looked at Mozart who was fixing up Artemis's dress.

Why do they need to go to the stupid dance? It was Einstein's big client, she doesn't need us.

Beethoven absentmindedly put his hand on his shoulder where Einstein shot him yesterday.

"Hey, Ben." Einstein said and slapped a hand on his injured shoulder, his winced but covered it fast with a toothy grin.

"Hiya, Sash. All ready?" he asked.

Sasha narrowed her eyes and looked at the rest of her group, they were all dressed formally and ready to be taken to the prom.

She turned and saw Linc standing at the corner, he looked deep in thought.
