Chapter 4

Alex P.O.V

      “So there's this ...thing... on Saturday. A party actually, at Jasmin’s' place. Are you going?" Lacey asked on the way to our contemporary dance place.

“I guess so." I sighed.

“You and Edward don't normally speak to anyone apart from that other guy. I though you would just ignore me out of class but now I feel special"

“Brandon, yeah I know, we prefer to keep to ourselves."

She nodded but didn't ask anything else.

To say contemporary dance was 'challenging' was the understatement on the century. The warm up alone had half the class with their heads stuck out the window gasping for air and the routine wasn't any easier. I like a challenge something that warm me up for stretching but when you have buckets of sweat around you that’s different.

At lunch Lacey sat with us while and Aiden and Ally sat elsewhere. So much for looking after the new students.

She wasn't eating a lot. Just an apple and a bottle of water.

“Not hungry?" Brandon asked nodding at her plate.

“Nah I had a lot this morning." She replied nibbling on her apple.

  Edward didn’t say a word for the whole hour he just sat still staring off into space.

I was the one who spoke the most, mainly asking Lacey questions about her life and long term goals. Trying to figure out why she was different.  The main reason we don’t speak to the other students is beacause they were loud, obnoxious,  over confident and overall lack the ability to keep their mouths shut. this girl, however seemed quite...reserved.

humble? either way it's nice to be able to hold a normal conversation with a girl who isn't obsessing over a guy.

“Do you know what you're wearing to the party?" I smiled imagining her slim figure in a maid outfit or something similar.

“I do, but it’s a surprise." She replied smugly.

This only made me more curious and I found myself wishing that Saturday would come quicker.

“I gotta go now, my friends are waiting for me in the pool but I’ll see you tomorrow." She promised putting the half empty bottle in her bag.

“Okay, have fun." I called as she left. As soon as she was out of earshot Brandon grabbed my arm.

“She is so hot. She's totally in to you." He hissed.

“She’s sweet." I replied prying his nails off of me.

“You shouldn't mix business with pleasure." Edward stated sternly.

Jealous sod.

.....................

When I woke up on Saturday I felt like a million pounds. (£1,000,000)

Outside was dark and dull but I still felt great. I glanced at the clock and it read 1:00 pm, stretching out on my bed I saw Edwards’s unmoving form which meant he was fast asleep.

Maybe I could sleep for a little longer....

Falling back on the bed I closed my eyes again.

“GOOD MORNING!!!!"

The door slammed open to reveal a smiling Brandon and a suitcase in tow.

“Been kicked out?" I yawned.
