Who is my prince?

Chapter 12

It's Violetta's childhood friend Alex.

"Oh my gosh, Alex, I've missed you so much!", I say and hug him tightly. I first don't notice people glaring at us but then I see Leon looking at me and Alex. His look is like I-don't-understand-what-that-guy-does-here-that-is-my-place. Or was. 

"I missed you too. How have you been doing?"

"Fine", I answer. "What about you?"

"Me too"

"But why are you here actually? Will you stay?"

"Yep, my father wants me to study in Buenos Aires so we got here today in the morning and when I found out that you live here too, I had to visit you!"

"Hey", suddenly a voice says from behind me. It's Leon.

"Oh, hey, Vilu, is that your boyfriend?", asks Alex and looks at Leon.

"What?!?", I kind of scream.

"Eh, no, we're not a couple", Leon explains.

"He'a got a girlfriend", I say then.

"So you're single?", asks Alex while he looks at me.

"Well...yeah"

Alex smiles then.

"I wonder if you wanna get some ice cream later", he says.

"It's getting pretty cold, what about coffee or hot chocolate?"

"That would be great!"

"So, see you later"

"See ya"

Alex leaves and I and Leon just stand there alone.

"So I guess you have a date now"

"It's not a date, he's a childhood friend"

"But he likes you"

"How can you know that?"

"Don't you see it?"

"So what? You're just jealous. Go to your girlfriend, Leon"

"...if you don't want me next to you..."

"Wha...", I begin but Leon's alreday gone.

I practise for the show and go to the cafe where I and Alex usually met when we were little kids.

I see Alex sitting at a table and go there and take a seat.

"Hey", I say.

"Hi", Alex says. "I still can't believe you're here and I'm here and...wow, it's just been such a long time we didn't see each other!"

"Yes, that's true. How did you know that I study at the studio?"

"Your father told me so"

"Oooh"

"Yeah...it's a really nice place actually. It's a school for singing and dancing, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's amazing! I love it there!"

"I always wanted to go to a school like that...my father just doesn't want me to. He says it's time wasting and there are more important things to do..."

"So you want to be a singer or a dancer?"

"Yes! Im not that good at dancing but I think that I sing good..."

"Don't you want to sing anything for me?"

"Here?"

"Outside?"

"Okay...but first let's drink the coffee!"

"Okay!"

When we are finished, I and Alex leave the cafe and go to a park. 

"So what do you want me to sing?"

"I don't know...you choose"

"But will you sing with me?"

"Hmm...okay"

"So what sng do you want to sing?"

"Ehm...there's a song that I wrote not a long time ago...I've never sang it with someone or showed it...but can you please practise it with me? I think it's a very nice song but...I don't know if I should show the song to Pablo or something..."

"Is he one of your teachers?"

"Oh, sorry, yeah"

"Just show me the song"

"Here it is", I say and give the song to Alex.

"Oh my...it's beautiful!"

"Do you seriously think so?"

"Yes! Let's sing it!"

Pero hay cosas que si sé, 
Ven aquí y te mostraré. 
En tu ojos puedo ver.... 
Lo puedes lograr, prueba imaginar

Podemos pintar, colores al alma, 
Podemos gritar ieeee
Podemos volar, sin tener alas... 
Ser la letra en mi canción, 
Y tallarme en tu voz

"What is going on here?!? That's my song! You can't sing it with her!", suddenly a voice behind us says. Leon.
