I get home and sit in a chair, overwhelmed by what just happened. I slept with Serenity? How the hell did this happen?
I just remember drinking, that's all.
Darren comes down the stairs and asks me:
"Ready for class?"
Trying not to be suspicious I say.
"Yeah, wait a minute while I get ready."
"You smell like alcohol, how much did you drink last night?"
"I didn't drink that much, Finn accidentally spilled some vodka on me."
"Are you sure? I'm asking because I notice you didn't sleep much last night. Did something happen between you and Finn?"
The question disgusted me, Finn was just a friend, nothing more, I couldn't even see him as anything more than just a friend.
I'm go to get ready without saying another word. I get dressed in front of the mirror in my room and notice the details left over from last night's incident. I had already taken a shower but a simple shower can't remove what happened, although upset about what happened I try not to think about it.
I put on some proper clothes and get in the car.
Darren drove as the silence grew. I didn't want to talk, I didn't know how to act when I see Serenity.
We arrive and I enter the door, there I was greeted by... Serenity.
"Hey Hugo? How are you?" She says while having a smiley face. She wanted to hug me.
A gesture that surprised Darren, Serenity didn't look that surprised though, it looked like she was expecting me to reject her attempt to hug me.
Finn and Lydia hug me and that confuses Darren.
Darren
I looked at Hugo confused. Why didn't he allow Serenity to hug him? Why did he allow Finn and Lydia?
What did Serenity do to him? I don't think she could've done anything to him.
Hugo
We had to prepare for the dance and the instructor had to make us dance in pairs. He was choosing our partners this time.
The instructor was preparing to announce the pairs.
"Okay darlings I'll tell you who you're going to pair up with."
"Darren with Lydia
Finn with Derek
Gabriel with Christina
Meredith with Daniel
And
Serenity with Hugo."
Why the hell is everyone against me today? Why her, why not Finn, Lydia or Darren?
"You're going to dance Tango today, I want to see how much you remember from practice."
Serenity came closer to me, placing her hand on my chest. I wanted to push her but I knew if I did that,no one would understand why.
Without hesitation I start dancing.
Serenity was dancing very well but I couldn't get my head around what happened.
After classes I suddenly receive a call.
It was Adele.I answer, but the voice that answers me is not Adele's. It's a man's.
"Hugo. I'm your uncle Patrick. You probably don't know me, you have no idea. I'm calling to let you know that, Adele is dead."
I am shocked by the fact that I had an uncle and also by the fact that Adele died.
I don't get to say anything because the phone shuts down. Suddenly I feel hands on my waist.
"Darren if this is another one of your pranks I swear I'll rip your head off."
"Darren? Why would it be Darren?" I hear a female voice and I know exactly who's it is.
"Serenity..."
"Why are you acting like nothing happened?"
"To make myself understood, I'll start by telling you that I didn't want to do it with you, second of all, forget everything that happened and third of all, stop trying to get close to me."
"So you're telling me you didn't like it? You didn't like the way I sucked on it or the way it felt when-"
I cut her off, I didn't want to hear such things anymore, I didn't want to imagine something like that.
Serenity just wanted to get on my nerves and that was clear, all I had to do was ignore it.
But how could I ignore it?
