❇Chapter 11 Shocker❇

Dedicated to touchthesky4

Alex P.O.V

At the moment I have English, but since Mrs Darcy told us to find certain books on our checklist, I am currently waltzing down the rows of the library.

Luckily I come across Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, my last book.

I try to take it but it won't budge! I pull a little harder, but let it go, since I've had enough.

Suddenly, I hear a BANG on the other side. I quickly go around and find Jesse sitting on the ground.

I give him a questioning look, then burst out of laughter.

"What are you laughing at Alex?" Jesse asks.

"Your... face... is... soooo... red!!!" I manage to say, in between giggles.

Instead of a comeback, I feel Jesse's intense stare on me.

"Hey Jesse, I know I'm not a library book, but are you checking me out?" I blurt out.

"I don't have a library card, so unfortunately I won't be able to!" he says with a smirk.

"That's good, since I'm the best seller, currently unavailable." I say self-satisfied.

I walk over to pick the book up and walk away when he says,

"So aren't you going to help me up?"

"Sorry not today, tomato boy!" I say.

"Why do you call me tomato boy?" he asks.

"Cause you looked like one!! Let me help you up, since I am taking your book!" I say and give my hand out.

In the middle,

"You know the Prince is supposed to save the Princess not the other way around!!" I say as a-matter-of-fact

Then he takes my hand, spins and dips me while saying,

"You're absolutely right!!! There it is, Prince Charming saves the Damsel in Distress!!"

"No, the Knight in Shining Armor saves the Damsel in Distress!!" Blake says, interrupting our conversation.

Jesse loosens his grip on me and I stand up.

"Whatever Blake!" Jesse says annoyed.

"You know I'm right!!" Blake says.

After that, school was pretty much the same, until I arrive home.

As I enter I am frozen to the spot, my eyes widen.

Staring at the smiling figure in front of me, who embraces me in a heart warming hug. Still in shock my body unconsciously hugs back.

I haven't seen Liam in 2 years, he has always been there for me and those 2 years, were the hardest for me. I constantly missed his smile, content humour and heart-warming voice. I try to speak but am only able to say,

"Liam!" with tears in my eyes.

"Alex, I've missed you so much!" he says and plants a kiss on my cheek.

Mum and dad then informs us that they have invited Queen Emerald and King Edward for dinner.

Meaning Jesse too!!!

Oh no!!!

What will Liam do?

I let my anxious curiosity go and focus on the outfit in front of me.
