"Sappy why are you wearing your school uniform?" Dylan asked.
The guys stood there looking at me confused but I wanted to give them some credit so I waited. After a few seconds the penny dropped for Alex and he smiled.
"Man you really hate school!" he laughed.
"Yep this is scary for me, the whole learning thing it's just plain scary!" I nodded for emphases.
They burst out laughing, that's when I toke note of their costumes. Wil and Dylan were wearing baggy jeans and hoody's, Wil's was dark blue with silver seams on and Dylan's was black with gold money signs on. They both had on backward baseball caps and gold chins- very street in a weird way. Kev and Jason were dressed more mafia styled with black suits, whit shirt and black ties and black trilby hats, with white and black Italia leather shoes.
Alex was dressed as... well Alex! He was wearing black jeans and old black and white converse with a black t-shirt that had read writing on reading- warning! I bite- with a black unzipped hoody. He did look particularly sexy- no I mean... oh screw it he look sexy. His black hair was mess but in that scruffy way he always had it, he had two black lip rings in and his eyes were all sparkly and happy.
"Ok I know you two," I started pointing to Dylan and Wil. "Are very street gangsters and you two are suppose to be part of the mafia but what the hell are you?" I asked Alex.
"Oh I had a huge brain wave! I figured what's scarier than me? So I'm me." he shrugged smirking.
"Sure that makes sense." I grinned.
"Hey was that meant as an insult?" he asked.
"No wouldn't dream of it Ally." I grinned patronizingly.
Megan came to stand near Kev in her fairy costume- it did suit her somehow- and whispered something to him.
"Hey I'm gonna go dance." Kev grinned and walked off to the dance floor with Megan.
Megan smiled and waved as Kev led her away.
"And were going to go get laid." Wil said dragging Dylan off to the group of girl I noticed where staring at them.
Jason watched them go before turning to Alex and me apologetically.
"I'm gonna go make sure they stay out of trouble." He walked off.
Alex looked around and noticed that it was just he and I; he looked at me nervously.
"Well, um... you look, er... nice." He nodded slowly.
"How many girls are you around?" I asked curiously.
"Um not many anymore." He shrugged,
"Anymore?"
He looked at me for a second and sighed.
"Girls generally want to... talk to me because of the money, status and power. They're all fake and bitchy, which I didn't mind a few years ago but after a while it gets old." He looked sad.
Yeah don't I know it! That's why I try my best to keep my little secret a secret. I smiled up at him and stepped closer.
"You wanna dance?" I asked.
He looked at me shocked for a minute before taking my hand and leading me to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and Alex- not nervous at all; note sarcasm- put his hands on my waist. Alex started to relax slowly and pulled me a little closer; I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck as he wrapped his arms tighter round my waist.
Alex's POV
After a while I relaxed, it's not like I've never danced with a girl before because I have! I just felt nervous around Sappy because I knew she wasn't fake and I knew she didn't like me for anything other than me. If she liked me at all- it's kind of hard to tell with Sappy.
She looked really beautiful tonight; I wish I had said that instead of just saying nice. Nice was an understatement; Sappy could have dressed in sweats and she would look better than nice.
Sappy looked into my eyes, which didn't help my nervousness. I bit my lip looking down at my shoes and subtly shaking my fringe into my eyes. I heard Sappy laugh as she leaned forward and rested her head on my shoulder; I pulled her closer and continue dancing.
It was a lot easier to dance and relax when I wasn't staring into her deep blue eyes, plus it felt good to hold her in my arms.
Sappy's POV
I pulled away to look at Alex who had, had his head rested on the top of mine. I smiled at how relaxed he finally was and he smiled brightly back. Alex leaned forward slightly and brought his hand under my chin. He slowly lifted my face up and leaned in further until his warm breath washed over my face, which made me want to giggle because it smelt of peppermint but I kept quiet.
He brushed his lips against mine softly then again with a little more pressure. I kissed Alex back and knotted my fingers in his hair.
A loud 'crash!' broke us apart as a big crowd gathered round the middle of the room. I frowned and followed Alex as he pushed his way through the crowd; the first thing I saw was the huge mess. Then I saw the two werewolves fighting, one was a huge guy I'm sure is in my self defense class. And the other was a tall 17-year-old girl I knew all too well.
"Mia!" I yelled in shock.
I suddenly felt very dizzy and very, very faint. What is my sister doing here? I felt Alex's eyes on me as the guys pushed through the crowd behind us. Mia turned, her long raven black hair swirling around her at the motion. Her silvery gold eyes went wide when she saw me, and a smile tugged at her lips.
"Marlow! What do you think you doing?" one of the teachers shouted pushing through the crowd.
"She started it!" he whined in his defense.
"You will show princess Mia respect." The teacher said in a respectful tone.
"Princess?" Alex muttered behind me.
Oh great!
