Brandon's POV
Hi guys, my name is Brandon, as you know I'm a high school student, I'm the kind of person who is very stubborn and persevering when it comes to getting what I want, I do whatever it takes to get it, so do my parents, it runs in our DNA, whenever they come along, dad tells me all theses exciting crime-fighting stories and adventures followed along with life lessons and survival tips that helped me a lot growing up, I learned a lot from them although they were absent most of the time, I always try to occupy my time with multiple activities: charity, gym, school, marketing training, and some extra duties, but of course I make room for fun every once and a while, friends gatherings, parties... Etc, my father is a billionaire, he struggled to get where he is and I respect everything about him, my parents trust me with the mansion, like my father always says:" I trust you to make the wise decision and never let greed and emotions affect your decisions" it's not like they left the mansion unoccupied or anything, there's the staff, the maids, agents, guards... Etc but he trusts me with finances, employees' salaries, funds, charity, and all that, Sometimes my uncle comes by and checks if things are running smoothly, all in all, I was pretty busy and didn't have time for boredom, so I couldn't complain
As to my dating life, I fell in love once in my life and she broke my heart and it took me a solid time to recover, I haven't been in a serious relationship ever since, although, I've had a crush for as long as I can remember, she never got to consider me, I've always felt like there was a wall built between us that I couldn't break no matter how hard I tried, she is very sociable she had her way with people, even grown ups, she was always cheerful and never shown a sign of weakness, everything seemed easy with her around and she had a solution for everything, she always enlightens the mood, and when I'm around her, my heart flutters and crave her attention, I've known a lot of people, she always seems to be the exception, as to physically, she was perfect, curvy, small waist, very nicely proportionned, long curly shiny hair, very profound hazel eyes that give you the impression that she is looking at your soul, she had such a particular clothing style, very classy, sophisticated and elegant although I've seen her at her worst, she has always been the center of attention, guys were all over her, they get to fall in love with her by a single glance and girls were jealous of her and envied her, she just had it all, I could keep rambling about her all day long, a girl like that can get any man she wanted despite her young age and you can easily mistake her for a foreigner or a model, I've always had my way with girls and can get them to my feet easily, but whenever I'm around her I get nervous and fail miserably and she always finds a nice way to reject my advances
-hey Brandon? Said Samantha interrupting my thoughts
-yes Sam?
-who are you taking to prom, are you planning on asking anyone in our grade? She asked giving me puppy eyes as everyone stopped talking and focused on us
I ran my fingers through my hair nervously, there was one girl that I wanted to take but it looks like a lost battle in advance, I knew she was going out with a college student, I don't understand what he has that I don't
-I don't know, maybe. I replied
-who? She insisted
-Alexa.
She looked at me confused - but she's with Michael, she'd probably go with him
-he does not even go here. I said annoyed
-ohhhh. They Exclaimed
-someone is jealous. Teased Jason
-whatever. I chuckled
They all started laughing and teasing me
-Imma call her right now and ask. She said grabbing her phone and dialing her number
-hello.
My heart beats were escalating at the sound of her soft sweet voice
-hey, Alex how are you doing?
-I'm good what about you?
-good are you here yet?
-yeah I just pulled in, what's up?
There were car sounds, it sounded like she closed the car door, we then heard a girl screaming in the background
-dear god is that Britney in the background?
-ahuh, she's been acting so weird this morning like she's on drugs or something, did Mason pull something on her again? because if he did he will not get out of this without punishment. She threatened with her usual protective tone
-I didn't do anything! Whined Mason
We all started laughing, she's so feisty
-sorry forgot to tell you that you were on speaker, don't worry no one drugged her -
Her blood runs on drugs naturally. Interrupted Jade
-Mason! I'm onto you! who are you talking to? Interrupted brit, Sam quit hitting on my girl, she's taken you hear me!
-hey Britney .giggled Sam
-hi how are you guys doing?
-we're good how are you? I heard about what happened with Tom, I'm so sorry he's a jerk you deserve much better
-yeah I've heard that one before, Don't worry I'm fine. she replied enthusiastically almost sounding like she was faking it, life goes on and so do we
-hang in there sis. I empathied
-thanks Brandon and Samantha, I'm feeling great. she said with that same enthusiastic tone
-well do you have someone else to go to prom with? asked Mason blushing
-No, I Don't know. she hesitated, maybe. she stuttered, your mom is so sweet isn't it fun having a psychologist as a mother. she Added talking to someone else
-hey Alexa? said, Sam
-yeah? hey slow down what has gotten into you today?! she shouted
- I haven't slept all night and I'm on two cups of double expresso give me a break would ya. She explained
- yeah Sam I'm listening
-who are you going to prom with? did Michael ask you yet?
she paused for few seconds
- whoever requested you to ask me, tell him to wait in line, I'm not an easy target. she replied ironically
-oh my god look, he's blushing. teased Eliot, everybody started laughing
I groaned -very funny shortcake.
-well I'm going to be late for class catch you guys later okay
-okay later. they all said then she hangs up
-happy? I groaned at Samantha
-aw don't worry honey bun. comforted Sam, there are other worthful candidates. she said with the same flirtatious tone
I brushed her off and went to the window to catch some smoke then glanced at my watch it was 8:30 I quickly finish my cigarette and get back to my seat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as we were sitting in a big group I sat facing Alexa and she looked awfully distant and sad, despite her trying so hard to hide it and she was checking her phone a lot, that was so unlike her, usually, she's the one who enlightens the mood and leads the conversation getting everyone's attention
-a Cinderella theme. shouted Jade
-oh I know, how about this, we all are going to be wearing blue dresses and our partners will be wearing white tuxedos, black shoes, black ties, and a blue flower. manifested Britney
-clear heals. asked Samantha or we go full glass shoes?
-hey Alexa what do u think? asked Britney
they all looked at her, she looked at all of us with a blank expression
-I don't know, excuse me. She answered leaving the school cafeteria with everything behind then Britney stood up to go after her I stopped her
-I'll go, you get her things. I said firmly
I tried so hard to reach her she was too fast then lost sign of her
