School Time Romance~

When Leah got home she went stright to her room. Tossing her keys on her night stand and her bag on her floor she flopped down on her bed. Sighing softly she closed her eyes and thought about ballet. Maybe I'll start again.She thought softly.

Alfie fell asleep reading, and woke up to his alarm. He hit the snooze, jammed a bookmark in his book, and got ready for school. Like always, he grabbed a slice of bread for breakfast and headed out the door with his headphones around his neck and his CD player in his pocket.

On her way to school Leah made two stops to pick up a couple of her friends who needed a ride today. For the rest of the drive to school she listened to them chatter and gossip. Oddly she found herself not saying anything other than nodding or shaking her head. After parking her car she grabbed her bag and followed behind her friends to the front of the school.

Alfie sat on the steps, listening to his CD as usual. He twisted the zipper handle on his hoodie in his fingers, thinking about everything going on in his life. His audition, actually meeting Leah and how much that had changed how he thought about certain things, and schoolwork. At his parents request, he was doing well in school, just in case his music and dance fell through. But he had a good feeling about it, so he cared just enough to make his parents happy, and not a bit more.

As Leah got closer to the school she saw Alfie. After telling her friends that she would catch up with them later she walked over to him.
"Mind if I sit here?"She asked indicating the spot next to him.

Alfie looked up as she approached him and paused his music just before she spoke. "Go ahead." He said, smiling. "Did you get home in time yesterday?" He turned the volume on his CD player and pressed play again. Now it was background music, which he sometimes liked better than actually listening to the music.

"Yeah, I did."Leah said smiling as she sat down."Did you make it home okay?"She asked partly joking as she tucked her hair behind her ear. It was nice to have someone to talk to this early in the day.

 

[Esquillo]

"Yes, ma'am." Alfie replied, grinning. "My mom wondered why I was a little later than usual, but as long as I show her my finished homework, she doesn't care." He shifted so he was facing her. "Aren't your friends going to think it's weird that you're talking to me?"

 

[xXLeahLoveSickXx]

"Only if they see me. More likely then not sitting here I'm invisible, and they're probably lost in their own little worlds."Leah said her smile fading. She knew what it was like to be there while managing to disapear.

 

[Esquillo]

Alfie nodded. "That makes sense. Anyway, will you be visiting me after school again today? I'm thinking about editing a part of the dance, though, this close to the audition, I'm not sure if I should. I could use another person's opinion."

 

[xXLeahLoveSickXx]

Leah smilied.
"Yeah sure. That sounds good. If I'm not being too nosey would you mind telling me what's the deal with the audition?"Leah asked slowly.

 

[Esquillo]

Alfie grinned. "Great!" His grin faded just a little at her question. "Well, it's my one shot to make my dream come true. They're picking out a star who can sing and dance. This audition won't come back, it's a one-time thing. It's sortof like American Idol or whatever."

 

[xXLeahLoveSickXx]

"So does that mean that I get to hear you sing?"Leah asked jokingly."Or do you only dance?"She then asked a bit more serious.She pulled out her phone and responded to a text quickly and returned her attention to Alfie.

 

[Esquillo]

"I do both. Yesterday I was mainly focused on the dance, and I'll be that way again later, but if you want, I can show you the whole thing right before we go home." Alfie smiled again. "You're the first person to see the dance. Not even my parents have."

 

[xXLeahLoveSickXx]

"Wow,"Leah began turning a bit pink, "I feel honoured then.I would like to hear you sing though. Shoot..."She said just after the bell rang."I'll see you later then?"She questioned.
