"Hey Anna!" Chris yelled from across the cafeteria. "Hey Anna!" Anna was purposefully not listening to him. But she couldn't ignore him when he tapped him on her shoulder. "Oh hey Chris! What's up? I didn't see you in Chem class today." "I had a doctor's appointment. Have you thought about what I asked you the other night?"
Anna looked around her, and saw Esperanza and Holly leaning closer and closer to her, to listen to the conversation. "Let's go talk in the hall." She stood up and looped her arm through his. "We've got eavesdroppers…" Anna turned her head to look at Holly. Holly only sat back and pretended to be talking to Esperanza.
Anna and Chris made their way out into the empty hallway and sat down by the lockers. "So…" Chris started. "There's this concert downtown this Friday night…I thought maybe we could go to that." Anna thought about it for a second. "I'm not that much into concerts. Actually, if it's ok with your parents…and mine of course, my mom is a director…and well my dad's in the movie business too…but that's beside the point. You know that movie that's coming out soon? Dragon City? My mom directed it, and the New York City premiere is this Friday night. I was going to go and see my friend that lives there now. I think you'd have fun…" "I'd love to go to! Are you kidding? And wait…your parents are Tabitha and Brian McBrian?" "Yeah." Anna grinned. "I'm not surprised! Eve and I don't like to go to these movie things. I mean if I wanted to talk to Maria Anglos, I could just call her up on my cell! But they are really cool and I thought it'd be cool to take a friend." "What about Holly and Esi?" Chris asked.
"They've been to plenty! I took Holly to the premier of the remake for Breakfast at Tiffany's, for her birthday last year!" Anna stood up and brushed off her pants. Chris stood up with her. "Thanks for asking Anna! I think it'll be cool!" "Oh it will!" Anna promised.
Anna and Eve led Chris off of the plane and to the waiting car. Lucas stepped out and grinned. "Anna, Eve." Anna smiled and hugged him. "Hey Lucas!...Augh!" Anna screamed when she saw Ella step out of the car. The two girls hugged each other and they both started screaming. "You must be Ella…" Chris stuck out his hand to shake Ella's. Ella smiled and flipped her growing hair, out of her eyes. "Yeah, and you're Chris…oh yeah." Ella turned around and opened the back door. "This is Jon." Jon got out of the car and waved to everyone. Anna winked at Ella.
Eve got in the front with Lucas, and Chris joined Ella, Anna, and Jon in the back. Lucas dropped them off at the hotel and he went back to his place to chill before the premiere.
Anna had brought the pants, and had decided to wear them to the premiere. Ella gasped when she came out of the bathroom with them in her hands. "Anna! I thought we weren't supposed to wear them, except for during the summer!" "Yeah, I know," Anna admired her figure in the full length mirror. "But Holly and Esi decided that I could wear them. I think they snuck them into my suitcase!"
Anna and Ella got dressed in their separate bathrooms and then joined their well dressed dates in the lobby. "You look amazing Anna." Chris stated, letting Anna loop her arm through his. When they had all gotten into the limo and were getting situated, Ella broke the news. "Oh yeah Anna…I kind of forgot to tell you something. I guess it slipped my mind. Mom and Eric are going to be there…and Tibby told Eric and Mom that they could bring a guest…so Zach is going to be there." Ella inched closer to Jon, awaiting the blow she thought was going to come from Anna. Anna laughed. "Really? That's cool."
After the movie, everyone went to the after party. Anna hadn't talked to Zach all night. He had sat a few rows ahead of her and after the movie had ended he and Eric left to go ahead to the party. Now, Zach was sitting across from Anna and Chris at their table. "Hey Anna." Zach said to her. "Hey Zach." Zach stood up and held out his hand. "Can you come outside with me?" Anna shook her head and looked down. "I'd rather not." Zach went back to his seat and sat down.
Alexia was walking through Zahra's large home in London, when the doorbell rang. She let the butler get it. A few seconds later, she heard her name being called. "Alex!" Alexia turned around to see Deven running towards her. "Oh my gosh, you have to come downstairs. Jacques is here…to see you." Alexia looked down at what she was wearing, a tank top and a pair of pajama pants. If he truly wanted to be with her, then he would like her no matter what she was wearing.
She looped her arm through Deven's and walked with her into the spacious front foyer. "Jacques!" Alexia hugged him, and he stepped back. "Hey Alex!" He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. "I was wondering if you would want to hang out with me today." "I'd love too…let me go get dressed first!" Alexia turned around and ran up the stairs. "I'll be right down!"
Alexia pulled off her pajama pants and grabbed her jeans to pull on. She then found her jacket and put it on over her tank top. When she came back downstairs, Jacques took her hand. "Well that was fast! And no make up!" Alexia laughed. "Well…I don't always have to wear it. Plus…the quicker I got down here, the better. It means five more minutes with you." Alexia swore she saw Jacques blush. "Well, I think I just made you blush!" She leaned in and kissed him on his cheek.
Not a lot, I know! Augh! I went to schedule my classes today…the new English teacher scared me out of taking AP English! Lol! So, I'm in Advanced English. Oh well….I'm in Studio Art with Kat-Y! School starts on Thursday…(tear).
