"Come on." James pulled me by my arm through the mass of people. Every so often I would stumble over people's feet and my own feet, before I could really grasp what was happening. We eventually reached a vacant room but we didn't stop helped me to the window across the room and slid it up and slipped out and on to the roof that poked out from right underneath the window.  I was hesitant at first because I didn't trust the safety of the roof. "Come on Elise don't you trust me?" his question caught me off guard because he was a complete stranger but yet something about him convinced me I could trust him. "Elise?" his hand was still outreached ready to grab mine and help me through the window. I nodded and took his hand and he carefully helped me out onto the roof and sat down on the black tiles.

"Did you just move here? Because I have never seen you before." I had wondered why I had never seen him before because I knew pretty much everyone in this town thanks to my high class status yet I had never seen him before and he's not someone I would be likely to forget.

He smirked and turned to face me "Yeah I moved here from Marion, Indiana two months ago." I nodded slightly at what he said because it made sense as to why I had never seen him before.

"Why did you move here?" I asked him blatantly. "Change, new life...There was nothing in Marion...it got boring real fast and I am always after a bit of adventure it's what makes life fun." His lips formed into a wide grin. I got a rush of happiness after what he said because he was like me he didn't want to be stuck in the same small town for the rest of his life he seeks adventure much like I want to do but now am limited because I am engaged...

"What about you?" "Hmm?" I asked snapping out of my thought process. "Have you lived here all your life?" he asked smiling which made my heart melt. "Yes I have...I know everybody and everybody's business in this town." I sigh heavily and roll my head back.

"You don't like it do you?" he asked seriously. "I don't know, it's just...well I like being rich and the parties but I hate it at the same time. I hate the high maintenance, the requirement to have to know everyone and everything, the bitchy girls, the restrictions. Sometimes I would just like to run free get dirty and have fun instead I go to boring balls that are full of old fat men who only care about politics." I confess which was strange because I had never told anyone that before.

"So why don't you just leave...quit? If you're that unhappy?" I laughed at his question until I realised he was serious and my face dropped. "Wait you're being serious?" I asked slowly but he just nodded. "Mr Dean-"  "James...don't ever call me Mr. Dean that's my father's name." he scoffs.  "Alright, James. The fact is it's not that simple you can't just quit being rich, you just can't quit it you get a bad reputation." I state in disbelief that he did not realise this. "Is that all you care about your reputation?" he scrunched his eyebrows up in confusion. I shook my head "no...well not exactly it's just that is all I have grown up to know." I say softly.

"I need to change that." He smiled. "You see once you live life like I do...once you live life purely on the lust for adventure living day by day, just living for the moment." He said dreamily he was lost in his daydreams.

"Sounds nice." I grin and chuckle a little.

Suddenly we hear a whole lot more commotion down stairs than there was a few minutes ago. "Fuzz! Fuzz!" we hear someone yell from down stairs. Suddenly James jumps down from the roof and I gasp in fright. The police were here? My reputation? It could get ruined!!! Father would absolutley murder me and probably dissown me. I had to leave but how?

Suddenly I hear someone from below call out "Elise come on before we get caught!" I look down and see James gesturing for me to follow him but I couldnt jump all the way down there i would surely die.

"I-I cant James it's too high." He smirked and replied "Don't worry princess I will catch you." Princess? I ask myself, where did that come from?

I think back to what James said earlier about living in the moment...I shut my eyes tight and fall off the roof my stomach churning as I fall freely through the air but am stopped suddenly by two arms. "You can open your eyes now Elle." He chuckles, i slowly open my eyes before he gently putsme down and the grabs my hand and starts running.

We seem to run for ages and ages before we stop, thinking it would be safe. I start laughing as I lean against a tin fence trying to catch my breath but failing because of my crazy laughing fit.

"What's so funny?" James looks thoroughly confused and pants as he tries to catch his breath resting his hands on his knees. "That...I have never felt more alive...I never thought I, Elise Greenhaven would be running from the police with a stranger."

He luaghed alittle under his breath and then put his arm around my waist. "Why don't we go to the Dennys?" He asks smiling at my laughing fit.

Denny's was a diner that was a popular hangout spot for the local teenagers. It was normally always crowded with dancing teens and teens making out adults made sure to stay away from the place.

"Sure." I finally respond and we start making our way to the diner. "So what do you do for fun?" I ask continuing my questionnaire from before. "Riding motorbikes and driving cars and protest are always fun too." The protest part surprised me. "Oh really?" I ask but already knowing the answer. "Yep, what about yourself?" He tightens his grip around me and I remember his arm there. It felt nice not forced like it would be with Charles...this was comfortable.

"I like dancing, reading, swimming, shopping and horse riding." He scoffs at my reply and I scrunch my eyebrows up in surprise. "What?" I ask him my voice slightly higher than usual "nothing its just you're typical...you are a classic rich white girl...but you're also not there's somethig different about you...something I like." He looks at me as if I m a puzzle he is trying to figure out. I look way confused by his answer...what did he mean?
