"mhm", I basically moan as I was sucking the juice from my hamburger off my fingers. As I licked my lips, to find Will staring at me.

"What?", I asked with a mouth full of food.
He shook his head, "I just have never seen a girl be so determined to eat all of her food", he said.

"Yeah. I forgot. Your girlfriend probably eats like salads, and drinks smoothies to stay in shape", I said practically throwing shots at his Barbie doll sized girlfriend.

"Something like that", he said.
"I must say that speech tonight was A1. I'm very impressed", I said.

"A1?", He asked as if he wasn't familiar with the term.
"Yeah. A1", I said.
"What does it mean?", He asked.

"Good. Perfect I guess", I said.
"Are you gonna tell me your name or what? I mean I did buy you dinner", he said.

"Even though I could have paid for it myself", I said.
"Why are you so....", He trailed off.

"So what?", I asked.
"So persistent. Like you fight me on everything", he said.

"What's wrong can't handle I girl that talks back?", I asked.
"As much as you. I don't honestly think I can", he said.

I glared evilly. Breaking that silence.
"Alexandra", I said.
"What?", He asked.
"My name.... It's Alexandra", I said.

"Alexandra.", He said saying my name for the first time.
I was about to call him werid when the waitress came back, "one Oreo milkshake", she said placing it down.

"We ordered two", I said politely.
"I'm sorry hun, the machine just broke", she said.
"It's fine", I said quickly as I noticed William was about to say something.

I placed the two straws in the milkshake.
"Let's share", I said.
"That's diabetes in a cup. No thanks", he said.

I rolled my eyes, "you don't know what your missing out on", I said.
"High cholesterol", he joked.

I sipped on the milkshake, as suddenly he joined me, his expression changed as he stopped sipping.

"Oh my... This is amazing", he said.
"Told you", I said.

"So.. let's play 21 questions", he said.
I grabbed a fry, and dipped it in the milkshake, "you first", I said.

"What's your favorite thing to do?", He asked me.
"Singing. My turn", I said.

"Not so fast", he said stopping me.
"You can sing?", he asked.
"Yes", I said.

"Good?", He asked.
"Well.. Yes", I said correcting him.
"Can I hear?", He asked.
"No", I said.

"Your turn", he said getting a fry.
"If there's one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?", I asked.

"I would change that fact I care to much what people thinks, I care to much about not disappointing everyone. As a Henry, I'm destined for greatness but everyone's just waiting for me to fail", he said actually opening to me.

I kind of felt bad for him.
That he was under all that pressure.

"That must be hard", I said.
"What?", He asked.
"Pretending to be something your not", I said.
"What do you mean?", He asked.
