Thank you for your reviews. So after reading them, I decided to stick with the Chalek kiss after the game. I think it would be romantic to have it after he saves her, but one of the reviews pointed out that I was kind of making Chloe into a damsel in distress which is bad. Very bad. Chloe is the Uniter; she can take care of herself.

Happy Holidays everyone!

"Time to wake up Chloe," I heard a voice try to wake me up. I groaned and just turned the other way.

"No,"

"You're going to be late."

"Five more minutes." I heard a sigh before suddenly I was soaked with cold water. "AHHHHHHH." I sat up quickly and saw Alek smiling and holding a now empty cup. "ALEK!" I shrieked.

"You are one of the worst morning people that I have ever met. How do you ever manage to actually get up in the morning by yourself?"

"Well, before a few months ago, I didn't have to deal with assassins in the middle of the night, so I was actually able to get some sleep." I pointed out but soon regretted it. The happy, relaxed smile on his face disappeared quickly and was now a frown.

"You should hurry," He pointed to some clothes at the end of the bed. "Jasmine got these from your house last night. I can drive you to school when you're ready." I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair before heading into the kitchen where I saw Alek sitting at the table looking at his phone.

"I made you breakfast." He said without looking up. Wow, he must be in a really important conversation if he has that look on his face. I saw some pancakes and a cup of orange juice on the counter.

"Thanks, it tastes amazing." I said after a huge bite. "Where's Jasmine?"

"She already left. She decided to take her own car today because she's going somewhere with Derek after school."

"Oh, that's nice. They deserve to have an uninterrupted date after all the times I've ruined it for them." His head shot up and he looked at me.

"You didn't ruin anything Chloe."

"Every time that they've scheduled something, I've done something that ends up in them abandoning their date. I would qualify that as ruining it."

"You just have really bad luck. Now, we really should get going if we don't want to be late. Can you take the pancakes to go?"

"Yeah, just let me go get my bag and we can go in just a second." When I was walking back from the guest room, I saw that Alek was texting on his phone again.

"Crap," I heard him mummer.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah," He said quickly, but it was clear he was lying. "We should go."

"Sure," I looked at his face and saw that he was worrying about something. "You sure everything's okay?"

"Of course," He flashed a smile before rolling his eyes. "Now, we seriously need to go otherwise we're going to be late for class."

Once we were in the car, I allowed myself to think about what happened last night. Thinking I could've drowned was disturbing, but something seemed off. For the past few days, I've been dreaming about being forced under freezing cold water, and slowly dying and then last night I did almost drown. Valentina told me that I had nothing to worry about, but what if she was wrong? I mean, that's possible right? Sure, she knows a lot about Mai history, but it's impossible for anyone to know everything. Maybe the dreams were a prediction of some sort.

But I only had that one dream; no other dreams could point to a possibility of my death. If they were a prediction, then they there would have to be nine of them, right? One for each of my lives. And since there wasn't, maybe it's just a freaky coincidence.

"Chloe?" I turned to look at Alek. "We're here." After a glance outside I saw that we were already at school. "Are you okay? You zoned out for like ten minutes."

"Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking about last night with Scarface. "

"Don't," His eyes were full of concern when he reached over and held my hand.

"Don't what?" I asked confusedly.

"Don't think about Scarface and how you almost died. It won't happen again, I promise." There was a sudden flash of anger in his eyes but then it disappeared just as quickly as it came.

"I know that it won't. I trust you." The warning bell rang loudly. "We're late."

"Before you go, you might want to put on this." He said when handing me a hat. "It's Jasmines, but she probably won't mind you wearing it." Oh right, the bandage on my head. I thanked him while opening up my door.

"Are you still going to my game tonight?" We stopped by my first class room.

"Wouldn't miss it."

"Good, see you then."

The day had past by quickly without anything happening. I was at work when Alek came by to pick me up.

"You ready for the game?" I asked when he came over.

"Yep, there is no chance of the other team winning." He said with a big grin on his face. "Are you almost ready to go?" I looked over at Lana and she rolled her eyes.

"You still have twenty minutes left in your shift." She paused before continuing. "But if you do inventory tomorrow I'll cover for you." Ugh, inventory. But if we didn't leave now, then Alek might be late for his game.

"Fine." I agreed. "I'll see you tomorrow." When we made it into Alek's jaguar, my phone buzzed.

Hey, Paul and I were going to go to the game. Want us to pick you up?

I guess I forgot to tell her that I was going with Alek.

I'm already going with Alek.

Is it a date?

Was it a date? He never really clarified if it was a date, or just friends going somewhere. "Is that Amy?" Alek suddenly asked.

"Yeah, she's going to the game with Paul and wanted to know if I wanted to join them."

"I'm surprised you didn't tell her already. Don't you two tell each other everything?" Alek asked with a laugh.

"We normally do," I agreed.

I don't know. I texted back honestly. Should I ask Alek if it was a date or not? Would that be really tacky?

Do you want it to be a date? I felt my cheeks start to warm up a little bit and hoped that Alek didn't notice.

Yes. I replied but regretted it less than a minute later when she texted back.

Omygod CHLOE! Do you like him? If my cheeks weren't noticeable red before, they were now.

We are so not talking about this now. I texted back, avoiding the question.

Are you in the car with him right now?

Yes!

Fine, but we are going to talk about this Chloe King

I'm so sorry that it took forever. You all probably hate me now, but please keep reading. I'll try to have the next update soon!
