Their plan went absolutely perfectly they were able to get out without anyone noticing, Alice and Jesse ran down the hill. That ran into Jesse’s house, and into his room.
“So, this is what your room looks like.” Alice says looking around.
“Oh, yeah I forgot you have never been in my room.” He said, packing up his painting tools.
“Is this a picture of us? I remember this day. It was my 9th birthday, you had thrown cake at me and my dad chased you around the backyard yelling at you to apologize to me.” Alice says staring at the picture.
“Oh yeah, I forgot I had that. Um… yeah I haven’t cleaned my room in awhile I keep… forgetting. It’s not because I am messy or anything.” Jesse said looking around the room, uncomfortable because Alice is neat and tidy.
“You seem to be forgetting a lot of things lately. You forgot that I was never in your room; you forgot you had that picture, you forgot your brother’s birthday last month, and you forgot to clean your room. What’s going on with you?”
“Nothing, I’ve just been distracted I mean my mom has the new baby now so she’s pretty much forgotten about me so I have to always make my own food and it’s just a lot of responsibility right now.”
Jesse says growing more and more irritated by the breath. Alice realized that this was the perfect moment to tell him how she felt, she realized, well she hoped that it would make him feel better.
“So Jesse do you remember on my 9th birthday when I told you that I liked you…”
“Yes?”
He turned completely around to look at her. Wait… is she going to say what I am hoping she’s going to say? Get hold of yourself Jesse, remember She’s a princess, she’s adventurous why would she like someone boring like me he thought. She looked right into his big brown eyes and lost her courage. Why would he like me? I am boring and he’s just so cute she thought.
“Well… the only reason I said it was so you would stop chasing me. I never meant it.”
“Oh um…. Okay?”
“It was just because I was thinking about that day right now and I remembered I told you that.”
I can’t believe I chickened out, but I mean what if he doesn’t like me back and I mean he probably doesn’t then I will just be making a fool of myself. She thought. Alice and Jesse ran out of their house and ran all the way to The Lake, Alice’s favorite place. It was a forest in the middle of New Castle it was surrounded by beautiful trees and in the middle of all those trees is a lake a beautiful clear blue lake that Katherine used to love to go swimming in.
