Chapter 2: bathrooms
"Who's crying in the bathroom?" Alfie asked Nina.
"Mick broke up with her during lunch, she locked herself in the girls bathroom and won't talk to anyone." Nina said worry if amber was okay in there.
"Nina you can go back to the house, let me try talking to her." Alfie stated. Nina was hesitant, but left anyway.
"Amber, it's me Alfie, open up noone else is here." Alfie said hoping she would let him in. Surprisingly he heard a low click of the lock, then a shuffle across the floor.
"Am…" Alfie stopped mid question seeing Amber wiping her red, tear stained face, he was shocked to see no trace of makeup on the paper towels.
"You don't wear make-up?" Alfie questioned. Amber laughed.
"No, why?" Amber asked.
"It's just, your so pretty, I just thought you wore make-up." Alfie said looking at the floor.
"That's so sweet Alfie, thank you." Amber said smiling. Alfie looked up when she said that and smiled.
"You know Alfie you're really sweet when your not playing pranks, of goofing off with Jerome." Amber stated. "You shouldn't let him push you around, or tell you what to do."
"But, he's my best mate, I tell him everything." He said a little offended by what she just said. "He's like my brother I can't just abandon him."
"Alfie, doing things by your self once in a while isn't abandoning him, and, you can always talk to me." Amber said hoping he'll understand.
"Thanks Amber." Alfie said.
"No, thank you Alfie, for making me feel better." Amber replied
Feeling more confident around her Alfie asked, "Shall we go back to the house now?" holding out his arm hoping she would take it.
"I would be honored." she said taking his arm trying not to giggle at his choice of words. They then exited the bathroom heading back to the house.
