Chapter 24
Anna and others gathered in the theater, today Mrs Alia was going to do the casting of the play she started by calling the minor characters, Allen held Anna's hand they kept smiling at each other, they couldn't wait for the casting to be over so they can have more each other
"And the female lead will be Anna heiley" everyone applauded, Anna was caught off guard "the male lead goes to...Alex copper...his new but good" everyone applauded "Alex stand up so everyone could see you" he stood up and faced the crowd the girls gasped, he was very tall and tanned, he had brown curly hair, full eyebrows and grey eyes and his lips were small and beautiful
"Hello everyone I am Alex Copper I am from California" his thick voice spoke
"It's nice to have you copper, get to know your female lead Anna the rehearsal starts after next week...class dismissed" everyone packed their books and pen and walked out one after the other
Anna was contemplating if she should walk up to him but before she could she saw the guy walking towards her and Allen
"Hey! Anna right?"
"Yeah"
"Nice to meet you" he stretched out his arm
"Nice to meet you too" she said after taking his hand, she stared in his big grey eye it was immensely intimidating
"Anna can we go now" Allen said feeling uncomfortable at the way they both looked at each other
"I'll see you around Anna" he smirked and walked away, Anna wrapped her arms around Allen
"His hot"
"Not as hot as you" she said with a smile and kissed him
"Do you want to come over to my house tonight?"
"I'll think about it" they both smiled
Elizabeth barged into the room "have you guys seen that new guy!!!"
"Alex copper!!" Colina and Anna said at the same time
"I just checked the chart for the hottest guy on campus, his votes are almost as high as Andrew" she said showing them her phone
"Come on that guy isn't even half as handsome as Andrew" Anna said
"Well maybe for you...I just followed him on IG, gosh his IG posts are killing" she said showing them an half naked pic of Alex
"Oh he has a nice body alright" colina said going through the pictures
"Well....his my male lead for the play"
"What!!"
"Luck you girl!" Elizabeth said with a bright smile
"Yeah right of course I am the lucky one" she said sarcastically
"Can you guys please keep it down...I have to wake up early tomorrow morning" she covered herself with the duvet
"Why do you have to wake up early?" Anna asked
"Am helping the lunch lady to cook...she has a broken leg so I volunteered"
"That is so sweet.....colina is such a nice girl am so proud of you" Elizabeth teased
"Not funny Elizabeth"
"Ignore her colina we'll keep our voice down" Anna said
Moments later the girls fell asleep well Anna was half asleep
"Anna are you awake?" Elizabeth whispered
"Yeah what happened?" She whispered back, Elizabeth laid next to her and wrapped her arms around Anna "what are you doing?"
"I wanted to apologize...for everything that happened...you must have felt really bad, my recklessness almost got you in trouble"
"But I didn't get in trouble...you shouldn't blame yourself, everyone is reckless from time to time"
"Am glad colina and you are not like me...you both give me hope and I don't want to lose this friendship"
"You won't...I don't want to lose you both as well...and I don't want you to change yourself okay you're an amazing person and I like the vibes you bring...you can be as reckless as you want okay"
"Thank you so much Anna" the hug got tighter
"Now please go to sleep it's 2 in the morning" Anna closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep
Once it was dawn colina stood up and headed to the school kitchen, her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw Andrew in the kitchen
"Andrew? You're here"
"Have been waiting for you" he said as he continues to arrange the spices they would need
"The lunch lady told me someone else was volunteering I didn't expect it to be you" she chuckled
"Aside from my good looks I am a good chef as well"
"We're about to find out... what are we cooking?"
"Since today is Thursday... we're having macaroni cheese, burger, and pie" he read from a small note
"I'll make the burger" she stood next to him and pured the grinded meat into a bowl and was adding the spices
"Are you feeling okay?" Andrew asked
"Yeah why do you ask?"
"Your eyes..they don't look so happy"
"Probably because I just woke up"
"Don't tell me if you don't want to" he said as he cut the cabbage, he stretched his arm to take a bowl, as his hands moved towards colina boobs she gasped and stepped back, Andrew noticed her reaction, he looked into her brown eyes and chuckled
"You're a virgin?" The question was so out of the blue, colina wondered how he knew
"That question all of a sudden?" Colina said
"Yeah... you're acting like one"
"There's a way a virgin would act?"
"Being locked in a room with me is a little intensifying isn't it that why you can't look me straight in the eye"
"I think you got it all wrong Andrew"
"Then why did you gasped, I was only going to take a bowl you didn't have to react that way"
"I was caught off guard okay"
"Okay let's say I am wrong...are you saying you're not not a virgin, what's your body count?"
"Aren't we here to cook?"
"Come on don't be boring we can cook and talk...so tell me colina" she let out a breath but she didn't say anything, Andrew got impatient and grabbed her waist he pulled her closer "so you won't tell me?" He lifted her and placed her on the counter "you want me to find out myself?"
"What..is...that supposed to mean" Andrew slowly slide his hand under her dress "no! No! Wait!" She jumped down from the table "so what if I am uhh?" She asked
"Then it's cute" he slightly pulled her cheeks and continued to cut the cabbage.
few minutes later colina wanted to cut the onion but Andrew took the knife from her "virgins shouldn't cut onion"
"Excuse you" she folded her arms
"You're still very fragile you should do something easy and less dangerous"
"It's fine I can do it"
"No way!...arrange the plates instead" colina couldn't believe this guy he was acting sweet and annoying, he only allowed her to do easy things like through the trash way, clean the table, he didn't even allow her took , he said she could burn herself colina was really looking forward to cooking but he won't let her. Once they were done prepping the food the sky was already very bright and in a few hours it would be lunch time
"Colina teste this" he said holding a french fries she tried to collect it "no! Open your mouth" colina stared into his blue eyes he was obvious not going to hand it to her unless she opens her mouth "it's getting cold" colina slightly opened her mouth he put the fries in her mouth half way through and took a bite almost kissing her colina was speachless she has never seen a guy act so free and comfortable around her before
"Are things like this easy for you?" She asked him pulling a serious grimace
"Things like what"
"The way you act, you know how to give girls butter flies and I don't think you realize that"
"Uhm...I was just trying to make you feel better..am sorry if I over stepped it"
"It's fine...just don't act like a playboy around me anymore... you're making me feel worse"
"Wait do you think I would act this way if it was some other girl"
"Isn't it obvious"
"No....I won't...I was only teasing you to cheer you up cause you are Anna's friends and because we've actually hung out together before...but I guess I took the wrong term"
"Am so sorry I hurt your feelings..I..am feeling a little sensitive today"
"I sensed that when you walked in....do you want to talk about it?"
"It's not something serious, it's just...I haven't had feelings for someone for a while now...but this days I find myself thinking about one person almost all the time and when I finally thought I had a chance with him...his leaving the school" colina felt awful tears dropped from her eyes as she kept staring at the floor, Andrew took her hands and pulled her close, he placed her two hands on his shoulder and held her waist
"You can cry on my chest" colina buried her face on his chest and cried silently.
