Dallas pov

'good practice everyone' I say.

Everybody just nods.

We're all tired, it was a tough practice.

'Hey Cam, that new girl is in your class right?' Luke asks

'Yeah, why do you ask?' Cam responds.

'Maybe you can get me her number.' Luke says.

'You can't get it yourself?' Owen asks

I laugh.

Luke ignores it and pretends to not be embarrassed .

Even know you can see he is.

We all learned to cover it up.

We all know what it's like.

We're like brothers .

Brothers aren't always nice to each other.

They make jokes and laugh at each other.

That's just the way it is.

And we're all used to it.

'Come on guys, hurry up a bit' I say and start changing too.

After 15 minutes we're finally all ready.

'So are we going for a drink?' I ask

'No, I've got another date' Owen says.

'Well, we can go without you'

'I can't either, I'm going to Maya's' Cam says.

'I have to help my sister with some church stuff. I promised her. Sorry' Luke says.

'Okay, then I'll just go have fun by myself.' I say, I pretend not to care. That works best.

Everybody goes their own way.

I go to the mall. I get a coffee and start walking around.

I'm not really looking out so I bum into someone.

'O I'm so sorry' I say then I see it's the girl from the ice rink.

'I thought we agreed to never meet again.' She says.

'might be harder than you think' I look at her. She wears black jeans, a purple blouse and black boots with gold studs. She looks so good.

'Fine, then let's try to be normal to each other.' She says.

'Sure, I'm Dallas.' I hold out a hand.

'Hi, I'm Alice.' She grabs my hand.

'Do you want a coffee too?'

'I'd love to' She walks with me.

'A normal coffee? '

'Yeah seems just fine'

I get her a coffee. She takes a zip. 'It's horrible!' She shouts and then laughs

'It's the best coffee here' I smile at her.

'Then I'd better get some coffee from Holland'

'You're from Holland?'I ask.

'yeah, I was born and raised there. I just got here.' She tells me.

'Must be hard, new country, new language..' I say

'It is but not as difficult as the new students.' She smiles

I feel guilty. It's all hard on her and I was making it harder…

'Sorry, It's just I'm team captain I have to act like it.' I try to defend myself

'It's okay, I get it. I'm used to dealing with horrible popular guys.' She says

'Poor you, All as bad as me?' I ask

'Worse, they thought I was an easy target.'

I'm confused. 'Like bullying?'

'No, like getting into my pants'

I'm that kind of guy…. 'Hope you can avoid that guys here'

'Hope so too. But I have to go now. I need some new clothes.'

'Okay, sure. But we'll meet again?'

'Of course'

'Just to make sure we meet again, Can I have your number?'

'Depends, don't give it to someone else. Okay?'

'I'll keep it to myself.' I smile.

'Fine then, give me your phone.'

I hand it over. 'I can type it in myself.'

'Well so can I' She types something and then hands it over.

'It's your number right. You're not setting me up here, are you?'

'No and other wise you'll find out soon' She smiles

'Uhm.. Well I'd love to spend more time with you. But I don't want to be the one to keep you away from some new clothes.' I smile

'O yeah, I'd ask you to come but I really need to move on really fast. So I'll see you around.' She says

'You will' I smile.

She turns to me and gives me a hug. 'Bye'

'Bye' I say.

I call her number. Just to be sure she isn't setting me up. That I'll call a number and it turns out to be from some restaurant or something. I hear 'firework' from Katy Perry.

So I turn around and see Alicia picking up her phone from her purse.

She picks up 'I told you it wasn't a joke' She hangs up and walks away.

This girl..she's just…I don't have a word for it yet…
