Paige's POV

I'm at the luncheon. I was sitting on the sofa. Violet was sitting next to me.

"How did your date with James go?" I asked.

"It was lovely." She said.

"How's your family?" I asked.

"Fine." She said.

I stood up to get some food. I grabbed a sandwich. I sat down.

"Have you read any cool books lately?" I asked.

"Yeah totally. I'm reading this book called "The sky is everywhere". It's heartbreaking. I cried during some bits." She said.

"I'm reading this other book called "Under the never sky". I'm really enjoying. It's confusing at some bits though." She said.

"What about you?" She asked.

"Nothing really. I've been busy." I said.

Then the luncheon ended. I drove home.

Damon's POV

I was front of Bianca's flat. I knocked on the door. She was wearing a short black dress with a jean jacket. Her hair was in messy waves. She had on black boots and fish net stockings. She had on smoky eye make up.

"You look beautiful." I said.

"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." She said.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah." She said.

Then we went inside my car. I drove off. We didn't talk on the way there. We arrived at the restaurant. I opened the door for her. We went inside. They led us to our table. We sat down across from each other.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm alright." She said.

I read her mind because she never tells me what she's feeling.

I hate it that he wants to know what I'm feeling. It would be easier if he left me alone.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

"No." She said simply.

I can tell she's not telling me the truth. I read her mind again.

I hate that he wants to get to get close to me. He wants to get to know me. I don't know what to do with this feeling. Should I let him in? I might fancy him. I have never felt that way about anyone.

I surprised to hear what she's thinking. I think she hides what she feels.

"I can tell you're lying." I said.

"I'm not." She said.

"You're obviously in love with me." I said.

She laughed.

"Only in your dreams." She said.

Why does she do that a lot? Why doesn't she say what she's feeling? I decided to read her mind.

It scares me to fall in love with someone. When people fall in love, it tears them apart. Why would want anyone want to risk that?

"I'm not going to hurt you." I said.

"How do you know?" She asked.

"I'm not sure. You're just going to have to trust me." I said.

She didn't say anything.

"Have you ever been close to anyone before?" I asked.

"I'm close to my brother, Sean. My best friend, Juniper." She said.

"What's he like?" I asked.

"He's amazing." I said.

We got served. We ate our food. After we finished our meal. We went back to her flat. We were outside her flat.

"Thanks for dinner." She said.

"No problem." I said.

I want to kiss her. I leaned in to kiss her. We went inside the flat. Her back was against the wall. Our hands are all over each other. Then we moved to her bedroom. We crashed onto the bed. I was on top of her. I took off her dress. I caressed her body. Then she took off my shirt. She caressed my body.

The morning after
I woke up to Bianca gone. Maybe last night was a dream. I saw a note on the pillow. I didn't read it. I'm really upset. I don't know why I am. This is the way she is. Then I saw her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was in her pyjamas.

"Are you leaving?" I asked.

"What happened last night was a mistake. It can't happen again." She said.

"So you're saying that you didn't feel anything last night." I said.

"You make me feel things that I absolutely cannot feel." She said.

"Are we back to that?" I asked.

"No it's not that. I don't want this. I have to go." She said.

"Why do you keep running?" I asked.

"Because it's the only thing I know." She said.

"What if you didn't? What if you stayed?" I asked.

"I can't. I just can't." She said.

"What are you afraid of?" I asked.

"I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything." She said.

"We can try it." I said.

"I don't know." She said.

She moved toward me. She kissed me. I got on top of her. We kissed further.

Paige's POV

I was involved with sports at my old school. My favourite sports to play are field hockey and softball. The tryouts are being held after school. I'm in the locker room getting dressed into work out clothes. I put my hair in pony tail. I went outside to the field. I ran over there. There was a table to get your number and sign in. The coach was waiting for all of us. She was young. She had medium long brown hair that was in a pony tail. She had fair skin. She was pretty. She looked like she was in her mid thirties. She told us to sit on the grass. We did as we were told. I saw two girls that were in my art class. I forgot their names.

"Aren't you in my art class?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm Cassidy. Paige, right? It's a small school. Word travels fast." She said.

I nodded. I assumed that everyone knows my name by now.

"It's like the first grade all over again. You're the shiny new toy." She said.

She had sandy brown hair that went past her chest area. She was tall. She looked about 176 centimeters. She's beautiful. I noticed that the other girl hasn't said anything.

"Hi." I said.

Then Cassidy looked at the other girl and then at me.

"She's shy." She said.

"I'm Jessamine." She said.

She had long auburn hair that went past her waist. She was average height.

"Is she a good coach?" I asked.

"Yeah but she can be a bitch sometimes. She's competitive." Cassidy said.

Tryouts montage

Then the coach told us to sit on the grass again. Then she read off the players that made the team. My number got called and so did Cassidy and Jessamine. Then the coach dismissed us to the locker room. Cassidy and Jessamine ran up to me.

"What position are you going to play?" Cassidy asked.

"I play forward." I said.

"Yeah same." Cassidy said.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I play defender." Jessamine said.

"Nice." I said.

Then I went inside the locker room.
