[alana]

dean sta in the food court of the mall with a coke at a table thinking about all the stupid things he had done over the past couple of days.
alana walked over to his table and sat down opposite him "what the hell are you playin at dean!?" she said in hushed voice
"what are you talkin about?" he asked her
"you leaving with some girl after you tell me about how much you like akiko? thats what" she said as she sat back
he laughed "look, just go, theres no point im a lost cause"
"no you're not, you are a really great guy, just not to other people" she said as she got up "i suggest you talk to someone, i cant keep on doing this for you all the time"
he looked down at the table "i couldnt do anything, i wanted to but i didnt, she was in my head"
alana sat back down "who are you talking about?"
"theres this girl maddie, she was just like me, ya know my kinda person, but when we went back to my dorm i, sent her away because i was thinking about someone else"
"then i suggest you go tell that 'someone' how you feel, talk to me later ok?" she said as she walked off

The brunette walked up. Every move fluid she walked to the register she ordered a coke and pulled out a big wad of bills to pay for it. "Here keep the change." She said throwing down a five.

[alana]

dean watched as his sister left and sat back "yeah, a real romeo" he said to himself sarcastically

[Princess Jr]

Jessie spun around when she heard him. She hadn't noticed anyone when she walked in. "Umm your in my dance class right." She said to the guy.

[alana]

he looked up "yeah" he said simply

[Princess Jr]

"Okay what's wrong. In class you were all hoped up and last night you seemed pretty cool." Jessie said walking over to him and slamming her bag down on a table.

[alana]

he shrugged "people change"

[Princess Jr]

"Yeah do I ever know that" Jessie whispered. She pulled the hairband from her hair letting it fall to her shoulder. " So wher's you friend Matt. I saw that look he gave you when he was trying to buy me a drink not that I drink. Of course you probably didn't recognize me in my little red dress." Jessie said taking a sip of her coke.

[alana]

he looked at her "oh no i remember you, and i wouldnt call matt my friend, we were once i guess" he sipped his coke

[Princess Jr]

"So what happened got into a fight over a girl." Jessie said looking around to see if anyone else was there

[alana]

he wondered whether he should tell her or not " it wasnt that easy"

[Princess Jr]

"nuthin ever is. Life's a pain." JEsie said twirling her straw between her fingers.

[Darktouch]

A black cat hid under a nearby table. She knew she wasn't supposed to be in here and could be sent to the pound for it, but she had hear what they were saying. Akiko being mentioned sparked her attention.

[alana]

he decided to "me and matt, were best friends, then one day, i was drunk and somethin came out about me and his sister, things got outta hand, aint been friend since" he shrugged "i saw you with him the other night"

[Princess Jr]

"Yeah that was a mistake and my dog nearly killed himself later. It was a rough night." Jessie said noticing hte cat.
