"Whoa, whoa, guys! How many times do we have to rehearse this to get it right?!"
"We don't perform this until 3 weeks from now. We can wait till last minute, I can do this routine in my sleep."
Alex raised his head up to the ceiling "Jack! This is at the school's formal, not at the usual nursing homes. If we screw up, get ready to change your name and switch schools."
Jack gave Alex a slight smirk.
"Now let's start from-"
"ATTENTION NERDS"
The school queen walked in.
---------------------------------------
I really, really do not need my special moment at Formal to be ruined because of these guys, and I definitely wasn't going to let this morning's incident go unpunished.
"Lia, what do you want?" Alex asked as he rested his hand on the back of his neck.
I squinted my eyes at him; as if he didn't know the reason.
"You're performing at winter formal, and I need to make sure you don't mess up what's supposed to be my perfect night, and-"
"Don't worry angel, I'm sure you and your big mouth will mess things up with your Prince Charming on their own."
"I'm serious Alex, if you're not taking this seriously I will gladly ask the principle for a lineup change," I threatened as I started for the door.
"Wait!" Alex lightly grabbed my wrists, turning me around.
"What is it you want exactly?" his eyes were pleading, staring into mine.
"First, an apology for ruining my outfit, and secondly, I want a say in what you exactly...do...at winter formal.
"No way, don't do it man." Rian said as he twirled his drum stick.
"Look," I stated, "I don't like you just as much as you don't like me."
"Then we agree on something!" His frown suddenly changed into a smirk.
I just wanted to run out of that room as soon possible. It's not like Alex wasn't good-looking. He was actually really attractive, not that I would admit it to myself.
"Lia, did you hear me?" Alex's voice rose, and I raised my eyebrow.
"You can have a say in winter formal."
I tried to hide my grin at the fact that I usually get what I want, key word usually. "I wasn't asking for your permission." I flipped my hair and turned for the door "I'll send you a list of changes tomorrow."
Right before the door closed behind me I could of sworn I heard him mutter "bitch".
That's how it all started with Alex Gaskarth and me being in the same picture.
