Alice: ... It was not with them, Nessa. It was with... well him.

Vanessa: Mmm... I see, I wonder when are you going to find out... are you feeling better now?

Alice: Nessa please, we've known each other since forever, please tell me something that will at least help me somehow...

Nessa looked at her for a couple of seconds before she sighing and sitting next to her.

Vanessa: Ok, Alice.The way I see it is this... you're always fighting with him, when you look at each other there's sparkles everywhere... and I'm just saying that all that energy most come from somewhere... maybe you're wasting your time using it to hate him...

Alice: How?

Vanessa: Oh god I should not be saying this to a student...

Alice: Oh come on, Nessa! You're just a couple of years older than us...

Vanessa: True... okay... um Hasn't it ever cross your mind that perhaps instead of wishing him the worst kinds of deaths imaginable, you just want him?

Alice: What?! But he is... He has been with too many girls in this academy!... have you even seen how many girls follow him everyday? Do I seem that pathetic to you?!

Vanessa: No -she sad firmly- Well, I have a class now, better get going... and Alice you should think about what I said... you never said you didn't like him! Besides you should also see the way he looks at you.

She winked at her before turning, Alice just saw her go, half angry, half confused.
She spent the rest of the day walking through the school grounds, sitting once in a while beside a tree, listening to her ipod, singing trying to practice her songs.

When she went back to the dorm, the girls were already there and they interrogated her. They all wanted to know about the fight, so she calmly listen to their questions and answer them, but she had to omit a big part of it for obvious reasons... instead she started talking bad about Gerard and his harem, until everyone was laying in their beds, ready to sleep.

Alice couldn't sleep she kept looking at the ceiling, thinking about everything, seriously it had been almost all day thinking about that jerk! she felt so mad at herself, but she couldn't stop.
Those hazel eyes looking at her, his lips, his soft hair, his hands all over her...

And that painful look in his eyes... maybe she had threated him unfairly, she had been the bitch now for a change... and she felt guilty about it, that was what she was trying to figure out all day, she felt guilty... that was not her normal behavior, sure they hated each other and talk down to each other every change they get, but this time Alice felt that for a change he was trying to be nice...

Alice got up, and tip-toeing she peeked outside the room into the hallway, to see if the prefect was not around. No sign of hi, she got out and started walking through the corridor, she swore under her breath when she felt the cold marble floor freezing her bare feet, she was only wearing her black lace shorts and a baggy t.-shirt she used for sleeping... but she was already half the way, and she feared that if she went back to her room she was not going to be able to gain this amount of courage again.

She finally made it and knocked the door twice slowly.

What if he was not alone? What if he was with a girl? You're only going to apologize, Alice that's it. And then you're going straight back to your room. "coming!" said Gerard from the inside, she felt already like chickening out but there was no turning back. The sound of the door unlocking almost made her cringe, she took a deep breath.

Gerard: Alice?

Alice: I... I just...
