Authors note: I am an AJ fan all the way. Just to let everyone know. Maybe at some points in the story it won't seem like it, but that's what keeps it interesting. I am also looking to put in a twist in the ending. I really like George and he needs to find someone; that is not Alanna.
Alanna was more confused than ever.
"Why does High School have to be so hard!" yelled Alanna as she threw her pillow across the room.
She really missed her twin. He had always been there just to talk. Now with him away at some brainiac school she couldn't. He was also too busy when she called him. She couldn't talk to Gary because he was too busy with his new girlfriend Cinthy. The only one left was Raoul; so she gave him a call.
"Hello," cam his voice.
"Ya Raoul it's me," she answered.
"Whats up! Or are you also calling me because of the confusions at school."
"I'm sorry but ya. I understand if you don't want to talk about it," said Alanna quickly.
"I would love to her from you. I mean you never open up to anyone. I feel honored," he said laughing.
"So this is a test, and you better not blab any of this okay?"
"Of course."
"Well has Jon talked to you about anything?"
"Ya, and I will share them with you as long as Jon never knows," he paused to hear her response and continued. "Well when he told me that you and him kissed I was really happy; until he came to the part where you ran away. I mean do you really want him back in the arms of Delia?"
"I... he... he always has to mess things up," yelled Alanna. "I was just giving him a friendly hug."
"Hold it Alanna, I don't want you to loose your temper and hang up," said Raoul smoothly.
"Okay, fine. So I'll go on I think maybe I do want to have a relationship with someone, but I don't want Jon or Thayet getting involved."
"So you don't want to be with Jon."
"We have been friends so long it would be so weird, and I don't want to the center of attention of the school, and with him I'll have no chance of that,"
"So let's say you haven't known Jon for a while and he wasn't Mr. Popular. Would you go out with him then?"
"Can we please not talk about Jon for one minute. I'm asking what do you think of George Cooper?" asked Alanna.
"He's okay I guess, and if you wanted to date someone totally out of the spotlight it would be George. Hey are you going to the dance tonight?"
"Ya I guess so."
Then she hung up. Ugh, a dance she thought. She did not want to admit it, but she did not want Jon with Delia anymore than Raoul did. Then her phone rang again.
"Hello," she answered.
"Hey, I know this is last minute; and I haven't been successful yet, but do you want to go to the dance with me?" asked George.
Alanna was silent for a moment.
"Yes why not. I was planning on going alone, but sure," answered Alanna trying not too sound too excited.
The he said that he would meet her there and they hung up. The dance was not formal so she put on some jeans that were kinda low cut and fit snugly. Then she put on a fitted purple peasant top, and wore her converse shoes. She let her hair down from her bun and it fell to her shoulders in crimson waves. Some makeup and she was off.
No sooner had she arrived at the dance, and she saw Delia and Jonathan freaking on the dance floor. Then she met up with George and danced with him. Unfortunately, he said her had to leave and would call her. He planted a kiss on her lips and left before he could see her reaction. Alanna was pretty indifferent about the kiss oddly enough. The night was still young so she danced a little with some other guys. Then one boy came up behind her and started dancing. She spun around and found it was Jon.
"Won't Delia be a little lonely," said Alanna.
"She'll be fine," he answered.
Then before Jon could start any serious freaking she stopped him. He did not seem one bit disappointed. He led her out to a shadowy corner of the courtyard that was empty. Alanna went a little hesitantly; pretty sure of what he wanted to do. Confirming her suspicions he sat her down and started to kiss her passionately. Alanna melted into his strong arms and found herself wrapping her own arms around his head. His hands explored the whole length of her back, and found his way under her shirt. Alanna gasped and pulled back.
"Jon please, I this is as much my fault, but now I am think clearly. We are such good friends and please..." she stammered.
"Alanna I really like you incase you haven't noticed, but you keep pushing me away. I can't just keep hanging like this I need to know," he said.
She had had too much, she ran in the direction of home. Thayet had seen all this and decided to make Alanna's loss her gain, but Delia had the same idea.
Thayet watched as Delia walked up to Jon as he was still sitting on the bench in her mini skirt. She said a few words to him that Thayet couldn't hear. Then before she knew it Delia was sitting in Jon's lap making out with him and his hand roamed up her upper thigh and under her skirt.
Thayet was completely disgusted, and knew that Alanna had the right idea. Thayet left before she could see Jon shaking his head and pushing Delia off him; and leaving the dance.
