They Call Me Foxface

Preperation

CHAPTER SIX;

PREPARATION

.

"So what's going on between you and that career?" Blank asked suddenly as we were eating dinner later that night

For whatever reason I freaked out, "Ah.... What do you mean?" I asked all too aware of the blood rushing to my cheeks.

"What do you mean Blank?" Q asked harshly

I give him my worst death glare, but he ignores me.

"The male from 1 seems to be quite head over heels for Finch, and I can't say Finch doesn't seem interested."

"Finch. You had better start explaining fast. And I mean FAST."

Oh crap.

"It's not like that!!!"

"FINCH HAVING FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE IN THE ARENA- ESPECIALLY A CAREER WILL GET YOU MURDERED!!!!" Q stood up and banged his fists on the table

"I don't have FEELINGS for him!!!" I lie "I'm suduicing him!!!"

Q calmed down with seconds and sat back down with a intrested look on his face. "It's still dangorous ground your walking on, but it might give you a advantage....."

He started mumbling inelgeabul things as he moved a lone French Fry around his plate.

Blank scowled at me.

Ok what was his problem?

"Finch dear, I need to take some measurements for the interviews later tonight." Tigress came up behind me

"Sure." I say, anxious to get away from this table.

"Darrrling, are you ok?" Tigress asked

"Of course, I'm fine." I say as we take the elevator down to the styling arena.

"Forgive me, you just seemed very troubled."

If only she knew.

We walked down the hall toward my styling area, she threw open the door.

"I can't find it!!!" someone was screaming

Pierce.

"Can't find what?" Brava was asking

"A photo....." Pierce said looking down at his feet.

"Well Pierce I suppose we could spare a few moments to search for your photo before we design Finches dress for tonight." Tigress said picking up on the conversation.

"But-" Zarnia started

A harsh glare from Tigress shut her up.

"What was the photo of, Pierce?" she asked

Pierce looked around awkwardly.

"Uhhh, me....?" he finally spoke slowly

"Ok everyone, fan out, search the room." Tigress commanded

I already knew that they would not find the photo. But I played along, offering to help.

I "searched" intently, for what seemed like forever.

"Look, Pierce I'm sorry, it's not here perhaps we can look again some other time." Tigress said finally

Pierce looked both relived and terrified at the same time, I can't say I felt bad for him though.

Tigress was kind enough to allow me to keep my clothes on while she took measurements.

They weren't as' intense' as the original time, so that was a bit of a relief for me.
