Come Get Me

SleepWalker

By SpatulaLover

Stupid cheeks; I felt them flare red. I kinda stood there looking like a loon in front of this guy while he spoke to me. His voice faded out and I just saw his lips move. He was.....incaptivating it was like I was in some sort of trance. Then he stopped talking and looked at me with a confused smirk. Then I realised he had asked me a question.

"What sorry?" I said snapping out of it. He laughed.

"I asked you why you were checking in so early,"

"Oh, well I got sick of being at home, it's a million times better here at dorms, some freedom" I said, remembering all the things I said to Pouge. I suddenly felt a ton of guilt hit me.

I pictured his face. 'You have no place in this world to tell me anything like that, I have had it up to here with your overbearing, protective and downright annoying behaviour, I don't know who you think you are anymore Pouge..I just sometimes'

Man...That was a bit harsh.

"Are you okay?" Chace said to me.

"Yeah I'm fine, I think you're next," I said pointing to the elderly woman at the front desk. He smiled and walked to the desk. Got his key and left smiling at me. Well, that didn't take very long now did it?

I then walked up to the desk and smiled at the woman.

"Hello dear," she said to me.

"Hey, can I have my room key?"

"Yes dear, what is your name?"

"Lex—I mean Alexa Parry," I said forgetting that I had to use my full name around here.

"Here you are dear, number 247," her hand was shaky as she held the key up to me. I smiled at her.

"Could you please tell me who I am sharing with this year?" I heard a sigh from the queue behind me. Now I see why it was taking so long.

"Dear, you appear to have your own room this year."

"What?!" I almost shouted. I had Never been alone and now with my sleepwalking this could be bad. What happened to Corey?

"Your arranged sharer requested her own room because of 'late night visitors'" she said looking at her records. Damn the boys; ruining my social life. Well no, they are my social life. Okay my social life with girls other than Kate.

"Isn't there anyone I can share with?" I said sounding hopeful.

"No dear, I'm sorry but you do get a large room with a double bed."

Did she just say double bed? I smiled. I think I will take that. I took the keys from her and went to leave the office. Then someone called my name

"Miss Alexa Parry, can I talk to you for a moment please?" Provost Higgins said. Why the hell was he here a week before the start of term. I turned around and walked into his office.

"Yes Provost Higgins?" I said sitting in the leather seat in front of his desk.

"I just wanted to say, I hope there will be less skipping school and uniform adjustments this year."

I stifled my laughter.

"I will try sir," I replied sweetly.

"You're brother's records are perfect, take a page from his book,"

Where have I heard that before?

"Well sir, when I do turn up my grades are immaculate." I said in a slightly catty tone.

"Yes but I would like you to participate in two after school events to make up for last year's flaws."

I sighed. Looks like chlorine-y hair for the rest of the year and some sort of geek club.

"That is all Alexa," he said gesturing to the door,

"Have a ruddy fantastic one sir," I said leaving slamming the door on my way out.

I grunted as I walked to my car. Tyler was standing at it smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Pouge sent you?" I said grabbing a box.

"Oh how well you know me," he said also grabbing a box. "Moving out already,"

"Last minute decision, can you help me move my stuff?" I said looking at the overflowing mountain of things.

Why do I bring so much stuff?

I laughed. It's always the same. Anyway Tyler agreed to help me and we both took a box and wondered around dorms. It took us ages to find my dorm. But I had Ty to lighten the mood a bit.

"So he is sorry?" I said sounding slightly dumbfounded.

"Yeah, he was distraught, and your mother is going stir crazy thinking you have left the country of something,"

"I shouldn't have said what I said but I suppose I will talk to him later, and you're fucking kidding me right? My mother doesn't care." I said pushing open my door. I almost dropped my box. My room was amazing; dark wood, floral bed covering, massive mirror, double bed. I put my box on the ground and jumped on the bed. Squealing like a little girl. Tyler laughed and got the rest of the boxes while I lay admiring my room. It even has a staring wall. Yes. Just like home. Once again with a flick of my finger everything was un-packed. I had a chat with Tyler and then he decided he needed to go and pack for moving to dorms.

"So you promise you will go home and talk to Pouge?" Tyler said giving me and tight hug.

"Yeah, I promise Tee, I will call you later okay," I said, he kissed my cheek and left.

I walked over to my dressing table and looked into it. No red eyes, that's a good sign I guess.

My phone started ringing. 'Scream' by avenged sevenfold, meaning it could only be one person. The one person who has avoided me since kissing me. The one person I could be in love with.

I thought about not answering it, but something told me to do it.

"What?"

"Lex?"

"Yes, what?"

"Can you come get me from the airport please?"

"I don't know,"

"Come off it Lex, I said please,"

"You think, just because you said please its going to make me instantly forget everything that happened. I mean you kissed me Reid,"

It was quiet.

"See Reid, your hopeless, you can't even defend yourself!"

"Please Lex, can I at least try to explain to you,"

"I have all the time in the world,"

"Come get me then," he said.

"Give me 10 minutes and you better be there, or will you run of again?"

"I will be here,"

What's their convo gonna be like? Ahaha. And the Chace thing, I'm gonna keep you hanging :) the mystery unravels.
