Next day when I woke up I decided to be with the rest of the gang for the rest of the day.So I made pancakes for everyone and some coffee I took the coffee and went to the dining table.

I was playing the game on my cell phone and sipping on my coffee when Jake came down.He served himself with some coffee and pancakes and settled himself in front of me.

"I thought you would be gone before I wake up."He said giving me a serious look.

"Uh-oh I think I 'm in trouble."I said.

"Yes you are."He said seriously.

"What did I do?"I asked.

Jake being serious with me is a very rare case and when he give me the look which he was giving me at that moment always came with trouble.Last time I got that look was when he got to know about my sleeping pills.

"How did you get money to afford the house?"He asked.

"I work."I said.

"Don't give me that shit and tell me from where did you get the money?"He asked.

"I promise I'll tell you today when we go to The Racer's."I said.

"You're coming?"He asked.

"Yes."I said and that's when Phil,Erina,Austin and Evan settled themselves around the table.

"Fine.What about the challenge with Bethany?"He said and there was silence on the table for some seconds.

"I don't know."I said frustrated,I was thinking about this since yesterday and I didn't know how was I going to get the other four dancers.By that time Emerald and Austin were settled in their seats and were digging in their pancakes.

"I know what's your concern.I'll dance with you."He said giving me a warm smile.His serious expression long gone.

"Thank you."I said.

"I'll also dance with you."Erina said but before I could say thank you to her Emerald butted in.

"I'm in too."He said.

"Me too"Austin and Evan said at the same time.

"Me too."Phil said.

"Thank you but we just need five people."I said.

"It's okay,Lice.Look at the bright side the whole gang together can go to California if we win."Jake said.

"Okay."I said.

Soon Chris and Sam joined us and we told them about our plan to participate together they were both okay with it.

After everyone were done having their breakfast and doing the dishes we left to The Racer's I had told Sam that I was going to tell Jake about me racing.

So when we reached there I disappeared into the crowd and went to Daniel and asked him to set a match for me.

He told me that my race will be in fifteen minutes so I waited for some time.When my it was my race I went on the track with my bike which I took from garage. 

Soon the race started it was an easy win because Jordan wasn't there today.When the race ended I removed my helmet and waited for Daniel to come and give me the money.

While I was waiting I saw the gang struggling with security to let them on the racing track.I signaled a security guard to let them in.

They entered the track and bombarded me with hundreds of questions I couldn't here any of them because they were shouting out of excitement.

"Guys stop shouting."I shouted at them and everyone stopped shouting.

"You bitch.Why the hell didn't you tell me that you're Alex."Erina said.

"Because I didn't tell anyone."I said.

"You knew I had a huge crush on Alex."She said.

"Which means you had a crush on Lice."Chris said and everyone burst out laughing.

"By this."He said and pointed to our surroundings" you got the money for the house?!"Jake asked.

"Yes."I said and he started laughing at me.

"Do you think I believe this."He said."You race only race on Sunday and occasionally.How can you make enough to buy a house."

"You'll know soon."I said when I saw Daniel walking towards me.

As soon as Daniel reached me he gave me a a stack of hundred dollars.

"Woah that's quiet much."Phil said looking at the money in my hand.

"Yes it is."Jake said smiling.

"So now you know how did I manage to buy a house."I said smiling.

"Yes."He said.

"But seriously why didn't you tell us you're Alex?You know how much we loved him."Evan said.

"I just wanted it to be a secret."I said.

"I understand."Jake said putting an arm around my shoulder.

"Let's go.Today's my treat."I said.

We went for lunch then some Laser Tag and then Dinner.

On the dinner after placing our order we sat around the table chit chatting about random things,when suddenly Emerald asked"Lice,when are we starting the dance practice?"

"If tomorrow is okay with everyone we can start from tomorrow."I said.

"Tomorrow is fine with me."Jake said.

"Me too."Austin and Erina said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"So we start tomorrow at seven in the evening at Gang House."I said and everyone nodded.

"But who's gonna choreograph."Austin asked and Jake looked at me signaling me I should choreograph.It has been years since I danced.

I took a deep breath and said"I will."

"You know to dance?"Sam asked his eyes widening a bit.

"Yes.She used to be amazing on the stage."Jake said.

"You've performed on the stage?"Erina exclaimed.

"Yes."I said.

"And has brought the trophies for our school."Jake said and these time everyone's eyes widened.

"Well that's amazing."Phil said.

Soon the food arrived and topic ended.Everyone returned to their chit chats,Jake and Emerald returned to their usual bickering and I ate my food silently since I was tired.

""You're giving so many surprises one after the other,Al."Sam said.

"It's not a surprise it's just something I loved to do in my past."I said.

Sam's blue eyes stared into my hazel green like he wanted to find something,his stare was intense."You're a very mysterious person."he said.

"No I'm not."I said.

"You are I mean look at you no one can tell you used to dance on the stages and bring trophies to your school."He said and I just smiled a sad smile.

"Yes no one can tell."I said.

Soon the dinner was over and we went our separate ways.When I reached home I took a shower and went to the terrace to read.

When it was two in the morning I went to my room and took my sleeping pills and went into a peaceful slumber.I guess the dream catcher was doing its work.
