Rich Girl {❁LizQuen❁}

Chapter Six

~ALFONSO'S POV~

It's been a week since Elaine asked me to go to the dance with her. It's been a week since I kissed Elaine. It's also been a week since I fell in love with Elaine. It's been a week since I realize that there's no use to expect Athena to love me. And it's been a week since we're both pretending like nothing happened between us.

"Are you ready for the dance?" Aunt Lyn ask me while holding up my outfit.

"Well, I will need a ride." I said jokingly trying to convince her to lend me her car.

She put down my outfit which is hanging in a hanger and is still wrapped in a huge plastic. We just bought it yesterday just in case Elaine still wants to go with me. Also, I can use it for other formal stuff.

She pulled my hand outside the door and there, I saw a shining turquoise and white 1965 Ford F100. It's so beautiful I could die.

"Go ahead, thank me." she said sarcastically and opened her arms so I can hug her. I hugged her tight and said, "Thank you so much." calmly, trying not to do something crazy. That was the truck I saw when we came home. I thought it belonged to our neighbor.

"I knew you liked vintage stuff, so here you go." I'm so happy I just want to hug her again. I was about to, but she stopped me. "And if you are willing to run away again, please use your own car. Just don't drive drunk okay? Camp there at the hill or call me so I'll pick you up and tow your car."

"I might run away," I smiled, thinking about Elaine. "But not for the same reason."

"I can see that." she said grinning.

Why is she doing that? "Why do you look like you're happier than me?"

"Pardon my very watchful eyes but..." Why does she keep cutting off the sentence? "I saw you kissing." she looked at me very seriously. It just means that she doesn't want to get yelled at.

"Okay, fine, fine. Is it why you bought me this? So either way I wouldn't get mad?"

"What do you mean by either way?"

"If you told me later or right know."

"Well, that's not the point." she took my arm and walked with me inside the apartment.

"Whatever the reason is, I just wanted to let you that the theme of the dance is black and white. Not green and blue." I said smiling, and wishing that she'll not kill me. Even though it's a fall dance, the dance committe that the theme will be all black and white.

"Ugh! Why didn't you say so? I'll go and exchange this! Goodness, Al! The hell is wrong with you?" she joked. She got my outfit and got her purse. She opened the door and ask, "Aren't you supposed to be tutoring Elaine?"

"Shit," I said and got my backpack. "Key?"

"Check the living room" she said and was about to close the door.

"But it can be anywhere!" I exclaimed, confused.

"Exactly," she said and closed the door.

Goddammit. Where is the key? I kept on looking every where but it's not here. I give up. I looked for my phone and remembered it was in my backpack. The time I opened it, I saw the key. I quickly locked the door and ran to the car. I'm so excited I can actually die right now, or maybe get a heart attack.
