Chapter 41 - the Gala
Hayden's POV
I woke up today feeling awfully tired today if I had my way I'd skip school and rest my head.
Movie night was great I love horror movies even though I'm easily scared.
I take a bath,get dressed,ate breakfast and I was on my way but I decided to stop at Justin's just to make sure he's fine in that empty house of his.
I really hope that awful girl butler isn't on duty jenin,she's awfully racist.
I arrive at their house and rang their expensive bell and unluckily for me it was jenin.
Jenin " Hola Senior buenos diez "
Hayden " I'm not Mexican "
Jenin " Salamalaikum brother "
Hayden " I'm not a Muslim either "
Jenin " Good morning and welcome to America where we accept all Africans "
Hayden " okay your crazy "
I say and immediately walk pass her see what I mean " racist ".
" Justin foley where the hell are you "
I yell as I walk around his living room. He comes out in a matching sweatshirt and jogger.
Justin " You sound like a damsel in distress can we go "
Hayden " sure I just need to grab a drink from the fridge "
Justin " sure I think jenin went shopping she's in the kitchen now "
Hayden " I'll pass "
He laughs and we head to the parking lot.
We arrive at school a bit earlier than usual so we sit in an empty classroom and actually talk which we haven't in a while .
Justin " Your telling me that I need a girlfriend "
Hayden " yeah it'll be good "
Justin " it seems a bit far fetched "
Hayden " just try it dude "
Justin " who do you even have in mind "
Hayden " Casey Ryan "
Justin " You sound crazy she ruined Alexa's life "
Hayden "I know your worried about what Alex might say but I'll fix that issue "
Justin " absolutely not Hayden "
Hayden " you might change your mind "
Alexa " change his mind about what "
Alexa walks in on our conversation unexpectedly but it's perfect timing.
Hayden " He needs a girlfriend "
Alexa " No he doesn't "
Justin " Thank you "
Hayden " it should be Casey "
Alexa " You sound crazy but wait does he even like her "
Justin " no I don't what even brought this up dude "
Hayden " I have a girlfriend,Spencer has a girlfriend and I'm pretty sure Zach has one too so let's not leave you hanging "
Justin " one date only "
Hayden " great I won't disappoint "
Justin " okay dude "
At that point I noticed that Alex had lost focus of the conversation. Her hand was rested on my shoulder but she wasn't saying anything I wanted to talk to her but Justin beat me to it.
Justin " You okay Alex ? "
Alexa " Yeah I'm good I'll talk to Casey about the date "
Justin " Let's make it a double date "
Alexa " I don't know Justin maybe see you later "
Justin " bye I'll see you later "
She walked out of the classroom after her awkward conversation with Justin but a double date might actually be a good idea after all .
Alexa's POV
My morning turned bitter after Hayden told me the idea of Justin and Casey dating don't get me wrong I'm not jealous or anything but that girl is a witch but I'll put in a good word for him.
Alexa " Hey Casey "
Casey " Hey Alexa what's up "
Alexa " Got any plans tomorrow "
Casey " no why ? "
Alexa " word on the street is that a special guy wants to take you out tomorrow night "
Casey " wait for real is it Justin ? "
Alexa " Yes it's him "
Casey " sure I'd love to "
Alexa " great I'll send you the details "
I say in the most fake happy voice I can form.
School ended as fast as I needed it to I was a bit stressed out today and it got way worst when I got home.
My dad called for me as soon as I came back I wondered if I was in trouble.
Alexa " Hey dad what's the problem? "
Dad " there's a retirement party today for my boss and I liked if you attended "
Alexa " like a Gala "
Dad " No Alexa this isn't Hollywood "
Alexa " oh "
Dad " your mother,zoey and i will be attending alongside you and the babysitter will be hear for kenan and kel "
Alexa " I'll be on my best behavior "
Dad " it's exclusive so wear something elegant "
Alexa " sure thing dad "
I smile and head to my room I already know I'm gonna wear black it's my go to color.
At 8:00 we were off to the gala and we all wore black we looked high class and I loved it.
A lot of elite people came it was a gorgeous highly decorated hall . Things were going well until my dad started having his army conversations and left me behind. I only got drawn back in the conversation after I hear a familiar name.
Dad " Minister Foley it's always a pleasure to see you "
Mr.Foley " such flattery I'm no longer the minister you know "
Dad " you'll most certainly win again I see you came with your son "
Justin " Good evening Mr.watson "
Dad " Alexa's friend I see "
Alexa " what friend....Mr.Foley Good evening "
Mr.Foley " How many times have I told you that you can call me Alex,a stunning daughter you have Andre "
Dad " Thank you minister "
At that they drift into more mature matters leaving me and Justin alone.
Justin " You look amazing "
Alexa " Thanks you too I didn't know you were coming "
Justin " well I wanted to invite you but I came with Zach after constant persuasion "
I look around the hall and spot Zach having a very mature conversation with my dad from what it looked like.
Justin " he wants to join the military after school "
Alexa "wow that'd be amazing "
Justin " Yeah their all leaving too soon "
Alexa " what will you do after school "
Justin " probably minister kid shit that's what they call me "
Alexa " that's what they used to call you "
Justin " It is what it is oh and Casey spoke to me thanks for hooking me up "
Alexa " Your welcome "
Justin " even though I would have preferred someone else "
He smiles and walks away and deep down I know he meant me.
