Alexandra's POV

"Can you believe this?", I asked Sophie as I was opening my locker.

"Actually I can", she says looking at the guard standing behind me.

"It's ridiculous. That woman is never going to stop", I say angrily grabbing my binder out my locker.

"It's not so bad is it?", she asked.
"Those two follow me everything. Literally everywhere", I say.

Ever since Victoria found out I was pregnant she made sure nothing happened to me while I was pregnant with her grand-child.

Which means she even hired two bodyguards to follow me around and stand by me. Make sure that nothing bad happened to me.

Let's just call them dummy number one, dummy number two.

"Maybe she just wants to make sure you and baby are safe", Kat said.
"That's bull and you know it.", Sophie responded taking the words right out my mouth.

"And even if that was the case, I don't need two bodyguards to make sure that happens. I mean seriously, she acts like I'm Beyoncé", I say.

"You really shouldn't stress. It isn't healthy for the baby", Sophie said as we began to walk down the hallway, the two bodyguards followed.

I rolled my eyes, "with everything going on, how can I not. I mean I didn't even tell my dad. He's going to freak. He already hates William. Imagine the outcome if I tell him I'm pregnant", I say.

"You know what I think I need.. I think I need a drink. But wait— I can't even do that. God; being pregnant sucks", I said slamming my locker sucks.

"At least you don't get periods", Kat said.
I eyed her.

I was about to say something when Luke began walking towards us. Dummy Number One And Two quickly stepped in front of me, stopping Luke.

I sighed.
"It's okay", I said as they moved out the way, standing near my locker.

"C-can we talk?", Luke finally spoke.
I breathed, "I don't know, can we?", I asked as there was obvious tension and anger between us.

Last time I saw him wasn't so good. I mean I did technically snap at his step-mother and he also told the whole freaking school I was pregnant which wasn't fair.

I wanted to tell everyone on my own terms.

"You have every right to be upset at me, but let me explain", he said.

"Ghee, thanks for your permission", I say.

"That video wasn't meant to output your pregnancy, it was to expose Victoria for the woman she is", he explained which made complete sense.

"did you ever think about how that could effect me?", I asked him.

"No. And I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you", he said and I noticed a change in his face expression.

He genuinely meant it.
And for some reason cared about me.

I sighed in relief.
"I forgive you", I say.

He slightly smiled. "Thank you", he said.
"okay, I'm going to class now", I say about to walk back to Sophie and them when he stopped me.

"Wait", he said gently holding my arm, and then letting me go once I turned back to him.

"Yeah?", I asked.
"I also want to ask for a favor", he said.
"Which is?", I asked.

"The Met Gala is this weekend. I need you to be my date", he said.
"Need? Or want?", I asked.

"Both.", he said.
"Why? There's plenty of girls at this school would love to go with you.", I said.

"But none of them have the effect on the Henry's like you do", he said getting my full attention.

"What do you mean?", I asked him.
"Look at it this way. If you go with me instead of William, the people of Oakham would freak. Victoria would shit her pants if she found out, her sons baby mother isn't going to the Met Gala with her son", he said.

"you want to do a publicity stunt?", I asked.
"I don't see why not. Let's give the people of Oakham a show", he said.

"What about William?", I asked.
"What about him?", he asked not giving any regards about his step-brothers feelings.

"I mean wouldn't he be upset?", I asked.

"Definitely. But that's what I plan to do. William doesn't deserve you. He's just gonna have to learn once he finally loses you, he loses for good", he said.

I liked his plan.
In fact I enjoyed it.

Not to sound bitchy or anything but I really wanted to see William's face when he realized he lost me, to his almost better looking, taller, blonde step-brother.

I mean he said he doesn't care.
So let's see how much he doesn't care.

"So.. Ms. Leighton. What do you say?", he asked.

"Pick me up @ 8", I smirked.
