The warm summer air was taunting Alyssa, but she stood - or in this case, sat- her ground and stretched her legs outside, feet nestling in the green of the grass. One of the stray cats that wandered their neighbourhood has spotted her and meowed at her, every now and then she would feed this particular stray, a scruffy little grey thing she hadn't yet named. She scratched it's ear and stroked it for a while before sighing at how this day had turned out. She really hadn't expected this. Finally, Alyssa got up and wandered back through the kitchen, depositing her glass of water in the sink and checking she had closed the backdoor. She had reached her bedroom and gave a quick look behind her, directly at the guest bedroom, how could Nate have treated her like this all these years, she'd basically been considered somewhat of an Outsider because of him and now, it was somehow going to be miraculously resolved? and she was going to forgive him and they were going to be best friends? Alyssa shook her head at her thoughts and lay down on her bed. Kiera was always telling her she was too soft, too forgiving, too young and naive. That was why people treated her like a doormat. Even though, she stood her ground, she was too nice, too eager to be liked. Alyssa had decided, she would be civil to Nate but she wouldn't forgive him, he could have given her an explanation before, she could keep secrets. He should have been nicer. Don't get her wrong, she was sorry his Mum had died, but she was hurting too, but Nate had his boys at school, he didn't need her and he had to stop acting like he did. She was only going to get hurt again. Alyssa closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to keep track of all her thoughts, she hadn't realised just how tired she was because the next time she'd opened her eyes, it was morning and she was still wearing her clothes from the night before.
Chuck nodded as she mentioned scholarship. He never really had to worry about money or that sort of thing so even though he knew about them, the concept was quite alien. He happily took the book from her, skimming the blurb. "I'm sure I'll enjoy this." He told her, the book wasn't very heavy and seemed to be an easy read. It mirrored the girl in front of him, she was pretty easy to read. It was a nice difference from other girls he had met, one's with many moods and different games they would play. Chuck took the paper from her hand, their fingers brushed and Chuck pretended he hand't done that on purpose. "Thanks for this." He said and tucked it into his pocket. "I'll see you there." He smiled, he hadn't even read the address properly but guessed he could just take a taxi to wherever it was. As long as the venue wasn't too shady. "What kind of music do they play?" He asked, unsure of how to dress or what teh vibe was going to be like. He didn't want to embarrass himself already. "Aha," He smiled at her compliment, pretending he had not watched all seasons of the show, it wasn't technically a man's show so he just nodded and thanked her. "It was lovely to meet you Erin." Chuck offered a hand out to her for a business like hand shake.
