...... chapter begins...
Alex has just parked her car in the parking lot across from the dancing studio
"God freaking...guh!!...no swearing no F words remember what you promised your mother...No bad words for no reason" feeling at peace as she saw her refection in the tiny mirror, her glaring sky blue eyes were far from kind and welcoming to the strangers eyes, she silenced the engine and walked out of the car closing it behind
"I Am not ready for today?! i keep having this weird feeling that something is wrong" she knew she was right when her phone rang as soon as she stepped foot inside.
"Leith?? It's been so long since you called me or my mom Are you alright you had me worri- what do you mean the Airport?? Who? Why am I picking?? What do you mean I'll know the person I should pick right away?! HEY For The F sake explain- Damn it he hang up!" She was out of words to explain how astonished she was,
Leith who's was her mother's best friend and also her ex husband although they separated on a good note and they however remained close to each others, Leith is Alex's only known father figure in her life has never ever spoke in such Manner to her or to anyone she knew, he was begging her to do him this favor in an urgent matter, why would he suddenly make this strange request?
"Lord forgive what I'm about to say *fuming* but what the actual hell is wrong with you!! I swear to God Alex I told you that crappy old car isn't gonna get you far you're late for the third time this week I was worried sick something might've happened to you " it Was Alec her best friend of few years speaking this time
"I'm sorry dumbass but I ain't giving away my mom's car that easily until it's done for good I made a promise and I keep my promise Alec"
Alec or Alec-Zander never liked driving, heck he hates cars thanks to a certain truama, for him he only enjoys cars rides in the backseat with music blocking his ears from the world but for him to get behind the wheel is a big No No.
"What else is bothering you? I'm your best friend I can see it from miles away when you're in distress!" he said hugging her shoulders close to him with his arm, it was easier for him to do so since both of them were quite tall and almost around the same height
Alex giggled at his question " that's why *giggling* you wear glasses Alec"
He slapped the back of her head gently giggling with her "shut up Axe!!(nickname for Alex)"
Taking a big heavy breath, Alex pinched the bridge of her nose,
"it's Leith...he called me a minute before I saw you"
"And? What did he say ?"
"He asked me to pick up a Guy at the airport and he asked me to bring you too as well"
"Alex that's *surprised Pikachu face*... that's weird a bit especially for Leith any idea who's this person is?"Alec replied
Alex or Alexis took another breath as she spoke "Listen Aloe Vera (nickname for Alec)
I don't know what is happening.... he only said to pick him up at 8pm something and said I should bring him home as well I have no idea what's going on but Leith said something like you'll know him once you see him which is freakishly weird but Leith sounded pretty upset and out of it mentioning this guy?!"
Taking a moment to think, Alec asked "Does Miss Leah knows?"
"Mom seems to not know anything or she would've told me? I mean we got no secrets left we made a promise" she replied to him
"I can't tell you what's going on with your family but I can assure you I got your back I'll definitely come with you to the airport I mean an over two hours long ride while listening to some music as you drive isn't something I'd pass on hehe" Alec hugged her again as e finished his words making her laugh a bit
"God geez Alec u lazy Daisy *giggling* get your own driver license I'm not going to drive you for the rest of my life Boii?!"
"Ah nah you and Victor will *wink* that's what Best Friends and butlers are for" Alec said winking from behind his glasses
Her smile was now back on as she spoke again "Leave poor Victor to breath *uncontrollable laughter* he's doomed to be your butler now your chauffeur too"
the two of them finally headed inside the dance studio walking and casually talking about what new songs they should listen to
...slight time skip ...
As they greeted the other ppl in the class, Alec-Zander realized someone was pretty nervously looking left and right in the hallway of the studio, A chubby brown skin girl with long wavy dark hair put in a high ponytail, her harry Potter shaped glasses sitting on the edge of her nose, as he approached her he realizes she was average around height,
"M-may III help you" Alec's social anxiety kicked in as he tried talking to the troubled stranger girl, as an introvert social interactions are also a bigger no no for him but as an instructor he felt the need to do something, He straighten his own ponytail and fixed his own glasses as he offered to help her
" this sounds stupid but is this the golden Shape dance studio?" the dark skinned Girl said staring quite intensely at Alec's deep Black eyes, despite his glasses the girl noticed something weird about his left eye
"Yeah welcome H-Here...um I'm sorry I don't do well with conversations usually my best friend Alex does this kinda of thing but anyways welcome!! here how can I be at your service?" he hesitantly uttered those words.
Alec was looking at her briefly, questioning her silence before she spoke again with more confidence,
"I heard you ppl here prefer using first names or nicknames instead of Family names to address each others... so can everyone just Call me Aleeza? like I don't want to be called miss or anything"
He smiled a bit "of course Aleeza! I'm Alec
Short for AlecZANDER! it's heavy on the tongue if you want to use all that"
....
The two started talking about the schedule for the classes and what suits Aleeza the best who was surprised to find out that Alec was indeed a choreographer in the studio and not just a student who came to dance,
And as the two entered the class they found Alex has already started practicing and helping others around,
"And that would be my Right hand my best friend Alex Alexis I don't think she cares about what you're gonna call her... oh by the way today we decided to cover a Remix of this song! well since the original song didn't have much beat to dance on" he waved at Alex as he said that which to his surprise her eyes went wide open,
And the next thing they both knew that Alex was heading to them at a little bit of supernatural speed...she was storming their way as her expression looked both angry and worried at the same time.
The moment she was a foot away from them she shouted,
"FOR the love of God what are you doing here Aleeza?! Wait you know what why am I asking you this stupid question?? of course you are here it's a Dancing studio! You loooove dancing! why are all my friends dancers?! you know what enjoy your stay here hopefully you don't like this place and leave as soon as you can but it's not welcome to our classes Alec-Zander here Will be you tour guide.... F**C" Alex looked as of she was battling herself while Alec looked dumbfounded
"Wait you're Aleeza the Aleeza?!" Alec spoke giving the new girl a shocking look then he shifted his gaze Alex then back to Aleeza
"Alex why don't you give me and Aleeza a moment please" His demand was taken as Alexis nodded her head with a yes and left the classroom heading outside,
"Listen I didn't know she was going to react like this Alec-Zander I'm sorry!! I didn't even know she was here and I don't know how you know about me.... but since you said you're best friends I guess I can understand that ....just umm I'm really sorry I didn't mean for this to happen I'm just going to leave you guys to peace and quiet... I can find another studio....even though it took me a month to find this one that suits my likings....oh this day couldn't get any worse for me!" Aleeza was panicking, Alec can see tears behind her glasses and her body started to noticably shake
"Listen Aleeza I'm not here to judge you okay, the truth is my relationship with Alex is a pretty open minded one from day one we agreed that we do not have to force each other to do anything that we don't want to do including hating on you.... Girl! I'm not even sure if she hates you anymore I don't think she hates you she's just mad cuz we talked about you two and I know you were her ex best friend before me.... but it seems like she's at peace with herself when it comes to your side... she's just in need of time to come around and also like I said Alex would be mad if I told you off or like kicked you out just because you were her ex best friend... she doesn't want me to hate anybody her doesn't deserve it because of her and same goes for me! we're cool" His words were reassuring for the poor Aleeza
she was particularly sighting in relief within her at his response "I know she's really a good friend and I was just an ungrateful idiot" she said wiping her lingering tears away,
With a gentle smile Alec escorted the new girl to her class and got her to know her way around while Alex was A no-show at this point ditching the class, sitting outside the studio on a bench
.....time skip.....few hours later.....
Alex took off her wig, her shaved light brown hair started to grow back a bit "sup Axe" said a little worried Alec-Zander
Handing her a bag of chips, Alec sat down next to his Melon head looking friend, he always teased her about her hair but he secretly thinks her new hairstyle is beautiful "so she found her place huh of all the damn places it gotta be ours, damn I knew this day was a holiday in hell" Alexis said squeezing the bag of chips
"Listen Alex before my social battery runs out I gotta say this..... I will not ask you to give her another shot I'm not asking you to be her friend again I will not ask you to force yourself and interact with her but I will tell you that you have to respect her just like the other students. I don't want any trouble and I understand how hard it is because if I had to meet someone who's no longer a part of my life like that.... I would also freak out and in my case I'll probably even change countries not to be with that person if I dislike them much but you're different I'm pretty sure you can handle this better than I do... and like I said we do not force each other to do anything that we don't want so if you Don't to deal with her I'll make sure that your schedules are different so that you don't have to even meet each other here ... I'll change mine too if you want to" he said patting her head lightly
"no no don't go far... it's too early to decide Sunflower hair We'll figure this out later I just want to get out of this place it's already almost 6:00 P.M" she replied eating the last potato chip like her life depends on it
He stood up anxiously fixing his sunflower blond messy hair putting it back in a ponytail "oh heavens! I forgot to inform them inside that we'll be leaving sooner today! " his anxiety kicked again
"Worry not my introverted Friend your Dame in shining armor is here!! I'll handle the social work for you *tapping his shoulder* here take the keys and get yourself ready inside the car... we'll meet up in the next few minutes in the parking lot" Alex said walking back to the studio after throwing the empty bag of chips in the garbage bin
[Should I ask victor to drive us instead?] a thought crossed Alec's mind but he quickly shut it down.
.... slight time skip....few minutes later ...
"Here's your keys" handing her back the keys Alec took a look outside his window, Alex was busy with starting the engine and he was picking what music he wanted to listen to when they spotted Aleeza going into the parking lot, she was a bit further away from them but her screams of anger were well heard,
"JUST GO TO HELL I WILL NEVER EVER SET FOOT INTO THAT HOUSE AGAIN AND YOU COULD ...YOU COULD TELL RAJ TO GO F**K HIMSELF I WILL NOT BE A MAN'S SLAVE FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE" she was shouting and cursing across the parking lot.
The two eyed each others and looked back at were Aleeza was standing and they see her violently throwing her purse or whatever that was in her hand to the ground,
"Maybe we should-!" Alec tried to speak
"No" Alex cut him off, she knew he was going to offer her help but they were already late for their trip to the airport "As much as selfish this may sound I don't have time to waste on her right now I got my sh!t too"
Alec felt as if there was another reason but didn't question it any further "fine but tomorrow I'm going to check out on her with you or without you Alex" he simply said putting on his seatbelt.
...slight time skip....two hours....
The ride was much cheerful then the event before as the two indulge into singing all their favorite songs throughout the 2 hours drive
"Imma light it up like a dynamite ohohoh" they Cheered loudly as they finished singing together when they saw the airport before them
"Oh no *giggling* guess we made it my dude" Alex sighted, she was ready for another song but she has to go get this strange visitor Leith told her to pick up
"You know all the infos then lead the way I'm here for emotional support" Alec gently said walking behind her inside the airport that was buzzing with light life and ppl late for their planes....
