It was the morning after the party. Alice hoped that what had happened was all a dream. But it couldn't of been, Alice had had another vision that night.

Flashback to dream

"I,Mary Alice Brandon. Promise to love you for now, forever, for always."

Alice cringed when she said her own name, making her groom smile even wider.

"I, Jasper Whitlock. Promise to love you for now, forever, for always."

End of dream

Marriage?!?She'd only just talked to him for longer than a minute for the first time, now her dreams were telling her they would be married?! As unlikely as it seemed, Alice had always trusted these visions and so thought nothing more of it, got dressed and went to school.

She noticed that she was getting a lot of stares, from girls there were a lot of deathly glares. As she walked past Jasper, he smiled sympathetically and she looked down to the ground and kept walking, at least he didn't walk towards her, that could have made the glares only that much worse, if it was even possible.

At lunch she was walking to the canteen when she was grabbed by the elbows and pulled into a cupboard she didn't even know was there.

"Hey!"

"Ssssh!"

Alice felt for the wall and found the light switch, she turned on the light and found that Jasper was facing the wrong way. He turned around and smiled, she so desperately wanted to smile back, but yesterday, she had let her act drop completely, and he was nothing more than a player, she had to bring her act back up to the normal standard. That meant no friendly smiles, and DEFINATELY no more kisses.

"I wanted to talk about last night."

"Of course you do. Look, it didn't mean anything. Lauren was annoying the hell out of me, and then she picked on my size. You know how I feel about people picking on my size. So when she said you were hers, I tried to make her doubt her own words."

She felt bad for lying to him. What she really wanted to say was 'My visions tell me that someday I'll love you and I want to get to know you and I kissed you 'cos I really like you' but she couldn't do that.

"How did that work for you?"

"Don't know yet. Has she said anything?"

"No, she's been quiet the whole time. She's usually the loudest."

"Well then, yes, it worked rather well."

They stood in silence for a while until Jasper broke the silence. He noticed he was always the one to do this. He thought that maybe she had nothing to say, but inside her head, a million questions were buzzing.

"Alice, I really like you, more than I've liked anyone."

Alice sighed. This was an awkward subject to talk about. She liked him too, but he was a risky choice. She'd always told herself, it was never worth picking someone who was likely to cheat on you within a week. Even if they were willing to change.

"Jasper, I like you too, but the way you are, it wouldn't work out. I would never cheat and you would cheat enough for the both of us, more than for both of us, enough for about 5 couples."

"Please Alice, I can change!"

"Can you?"

Alice walked out of the cupboard and straightened out her clothing. She had to go to a school council meeting so she would not be late for any lessons, but she didn't want Jasper to be late any more than they already were. The whole way through the meeting, Alice thought about what had been said between them. She knew that if he really tried, he could change. But it would be hard and it could make him unhappy. Why would she want him to unhappy?

At lunch, she sat down at her usual table and told Jessica and Rosalie about her problems.

"Don't worry Ali, he's not worth it."

"Yeah, you made the right choice."

"Did I?"

They both nodded and Alice dropped the subject to eat lunch. Her eyes kept wandering to the table where Jasper was sat. He didn't look at her, he kept spinning the cap to the bottle of water he had bought on the table. Any girl that came near him, he would swat away like an annoying fly.

Oh well, he'll be back to normal in a few days

He wasn't. Everyday was the same, and everyone on the table grew more and more miserable, he was obviously usually the life and soul - the entertainer of the group, the one who knew how to make you smile, how to make you laugh. His feeling low had set everyone on his table in a downcast mood.

A school dance was set up, the council decided to do something similar to what the American's had. It was formal and it was girls choice. The date wasn't yet set, but it wouldn't be earlier than 3 months away.

2 and a half months later

The school dance was set, it was a month away and Jasper had perked up. He was going to ask Alice, he didn't care that it was girls choice, he wanted to go, and he wanted to go with her.

"Alice?"

She turned around and her face was mixed with anxiousness and sadness.

"I was wondering, I know it's girls choice, but would you go to the dance with me?"

"No, I'm sorry."

"Why? Are you a lesbian or something? You never go on dates with anyone!"

Her face nearly turned red from anger and her eyes flashed. She looked like she would burn a hole through his head just by looking at him.

"Just because a girl doesn't want to go with you, doesn't mean she is a lesbian. I do go on dates, just not recently and for your information. God, you really think everyone loves you don't you, well I've got news for you they don't. Plus, I've already asked someone."

She said the words before she could stop herself. Alice had not asked anyone, nor was she planning too. She wasn't planning to go, if she wouldn't let herself go with Jasper, then she wouldn't go with anyone. Now she had to. She felt like an utter idiot at that moment.

"Yeah? Who?"

She looked around for someone at the other end of the room and saw him. Tall, not bad looking and funny. He would do, and he knew Jasper, even better.

"James Hunt."

"Ja-"

He was speechless, Alice walked off with a smug smile on her face and ran towards James. She grabbed a fistful of his t-shirt and dragged him outside of the canteen.

"You're not going with anyone to the dance are you?"

"Nah.."

"Good, you're going with me."

"I am?"

"Yep. Also, if anyone asks, I asked you a week ago, ok?"

"O.K"

He shrugged and walked back into the canteen. Now the panic was over, Alice took in a few deep breaths before walking to her locker and reapplying her make-up.
