:D i like this chapter!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Um, are you okay? You seem a little awestruck. Not that I blame you. If I saw me I would be drooling as well." His voice like an angel yet rugged and deep. I managed a smile that looked like the joker from batman. I cleared my throat and straightened up. "I'm-"

"Samantha Amber Grey. I know. I looked at your file. Don't look at me like I'm a criminal! I'm an assistant in the main office." God, he was gorgeous. "Oh how rude of me! I'm Alex. Alex Sim. But most people call me Sim."

The bell blared and everyone rushed to 5th Jump. I pulled out my timetable and struggled to read the smudged ink. It looked like I had history. In room "11." I jumped at the sound of Alex's voice in my ear. It gave me goose bumps. The good kind. "Here I'll take you there." I still couldn't say anything.

He pulled me close to him, and almost every fibre in my body wanted to tear away and run. I just couldn't. His cologne was intoxicating.

The next thing I new I was in front of an old looking building. "There you go. We just jumped together. Bet you've never done that before." I wasn't game enough to tell him other wise so I maintained my silence. "You don't talk much, do you?" Alex posed it as a question but meant it as a joke. We walked into the old fashioned building ad the first thing ! noticed was a large painting.

Before I could say anything, Alex cut me off. "Yeah. He was a creep. Mad and crazy. Once a king, kinda good with the ladies," he gave me a wink, "not to mention he was filthy rich. Kind of like mói." The bell rang again. Oh oops. Late again! I finally spoke to alex. "Look, Alex, its been real nice talking but I gotta run. You know, cant be late to class again." I was just about to fast walk away but his voice stopped me in my tracks. "Why go at all? We could go down to the beach and have a picnic."

"Thats crazy! There are no beaches around here!" I swung my arms around in the air for more effect. He disappeared and reappeared closer to me. So close I could kiss him...uh, I mean so close he could kiss me, umm...never mind....Sam! Why would you be thinking that! Shut up! Great. Now you talking to yourself. You always do this! First you start commenting, then narrating, then you end up just plain ranting and-

"Sammy? Are you comin' or what?"he cocked his head to the side and grinned. I grabbed his hand and the wind was suddenly in my face. I could smell sand and my eyes opened. It looked like Hawaii. I was gob-smacked. I was about to yell at Alex, that was, before i saw him shirtless. "Well hello Mr. Handsome." I slapped my hands over my mouth. Oops! I said that out loud! Crap!

"Ah Sammy, I knew you liked me." he said with a wink. I did a creeped out laugh and challenged him to a race:

"Last one in the water and out to that sail boat has do do the others biding for a day."

"Challenge accepted. On 3?"

"On 3. 1. 2. 3!"

We were off! He seems to be in his element. Just like I was in mine. Running and swimming. I could have possibly cheated. I tried really hard and concentrated on the tiny wooden sail boat out on the flat water and- "OW! My hegmsvdkxnslfnxnskaldhg"

I couldn't speak, I wasn't breathing in air anymore. I was sucking in water. I started to panic. A red mist was in the water.

I was. I was...bang! I must have hit me head again on the floo-
