Chapter 5: Finnick's Feelings
"5 6 7 8" Linda, the choreographer said while snapping. We all started doing the dance routine.
I know what your thinking. Why do you have to dance? Well that was one of John's 'bright ideas'. He said that the movie needed more 'pazzaz' and he hired Linda.
I started moving my hands and turning a little when I felt someone step on my foot.
"Ow Tristen! Watch where your stepping!"
"Watch where you're turning!"
Your probably wondering why I called Logan 'Tristen', well John said I had to 'stay in character the whole time.'
It's not like that was part of the movie.
"Okay take 5" John said.
I wiped my forehead. Dang Linda is strict.
"What a workout" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned around and saw Sam.
"Yeah," I said a little distracted.
"So Alex.." Sam trailed off.
"If you are here to propose to me I will have to say no since you, Charlie, are my brother." I joked. If you don't get the joke I'm sorry because it was awful and I'm stupid.
"No I was actually here to talk about your friend over there," Sam said.
"I'm not friends with Logan."
"I didn't mean Logan, I meant-" He leaned towards my ear. "Brianna" he whispered.
"What about her?" I asked.
"Is she mad about last night?" He asked, sounding concerned. Awe, he doesn't want her to think he took advantage of her. I'm gonna cry from all of the sugercubeness.
Yes that's a word...that I made up.
Sorry for being a fan of Finnick Odair.
"Nahh, I don't think so. It took her by surprise I think." I reassured him. I don't want him beating himself up for it. He must really care for her.
"Yeah, I do"
Wait I said that out loud?
Wait, he cares?
All of a sudden his face goes red.
"I-I mean. N-No I don't" He says quickly. Awe, that's adorable.
"Yeah yeah," I said teasing.
"Alex and- I mean, Liz and Charlie! Come over here!" John called. I look up and start walking toward Brianna who is next to John.
"Okay, that break was long enough. Time to practice again." Linda said, while I groaned silently.
"Okay we are doing the first routine in 5 6 7 8"
We then tried to do the routine again, but failed miserably because Logan doesn't know how to dance.
"I heard that" Logan whispered beside me.
"What is with me and speaking my thoughts out loud. Oh my goodness!" I said, frustrated.
Then Logan laughs at me. He laughs at me
There goes the little self esteem I had.
But...But his laugh is beautiful.
Dang it did I seriously say that? Stupid thoughts. Im just glad I didn't say it out loud.
"What are you doing?" I asked out of pure boredom. You see, we just finished learning the choreography and John called it a day since he wanted to spend time with Hope, his wife, before he left.
Your probably thinking he's your director why is he leaving? But I'm actually going with him, as well as the rest of the cast.
We are all going to North Carolina, to shoot a scene on the beach.
In other words....it's gonna be epic.
The only downside is that Linda is coming...with her daughter.
No no, I have nothing against Linda's daughter Rebecca. Its just that she hates me. I have no idea why, but Brianna knows. She just won't tell me.
She glares at me 24/7. I don't understand why.
I never murdered her family or anything. No matter how much I didn't like Linda
"Alex? Hello?" I heard, with someone waving a hand in front of my face.
Oops, must have zoned out.
"What?" I asked, looking up to see who it was.
"You asked what I was doing and then you zoned out" Sam explained.
"Oh, I did say that didn't i?" I said. I seriously forgot.
Instead of answering Sam just gave me a blank stare.
"Hey guys! Have you finished packing yet?" I heard Brianna call from behind. I looked over at Sam and his eyes brightened.
He's totally whipped.
"Nope. We found out literally an hour ago" I said.
"Oh yeah. Well I'm about to go home and pack, I was gonna ask if you could take me." Brianna explained.
Ugh, but I just sat down.
"Well suck it up, and take me back home" Brianna said, while Sam chuckled. Totally whipped.
"Wait...I said that out loud?" I could have sworn that was in my head.
"You do that a lot," Sam pointed out. Really? I haven't noticed.
"No need to be sarcastic."
"Ugh, again?!" I said and face palmed.
"Forget that and just take me back to the apartment...pleeeaaaseee?" Brianna begged.
"Nope"
"Pleeeeaaassee?"
"No"
"I could take her," I heard Sam say.
YES YES YES! GO SAM, GET SOME!
"I guess, but Alex is going to the same place I am. It would be easier if-"
"No no no! Let your friend Ocean Hottie here give you a ride!" I said, putting emphasis on 'ocean hottie'
Brianna turns towards Sam.
"Are you sur-"
"Yes!" I interrupted at the same time Sam said 'Yeah'
"Really-"
"Yes! Now up you guys go-" I said shoving them toward the exit.
"-and have a nice car ride home. Oh and use protection! I don't wanna be an aunt....yet" I said and winked.
Brianna blushed, while Sam smirked.
"We arent-"
"BYE," I said and walked away. Ha, when I see them next they better be dating.
*Brianna's POV*
"She's crazy" I said, my cheeks still feeling warm,
"I know," Sam said from beside me. I've noticed that Sam and Alex have been talking more. Does Sam like her?
If he does, then there goes my chances.
We walk to his car and he opens the door for me.
"Here you go, my lady" He said in a posh British accent. Then he bowed.I giggled.
Yes, I giggled. Weird right?
"Thank you, kind Sir," I said and got in.
Sam closed my door and quickly went to the drivers side.
"Hey, Sam?" I asked. I'm gonna ask if he likes Alex. I need to know.
"Yeah?" He said smiling.
"Do you-do you like..um. Alex?" I asked sort of in a whisper.
He stares wide eyed at me.
"No, I like someone else actually." He told me. I sigh.
But that doesn't make me feel any better.
"Oh, can I ask who, or is it to personal?" I said the last part quickly.
Its silent for a moment.
"N-no it's fine" he said and took a deep breath. He looked over at me when they parked in front of the apartment.
I turn towards him, and raise an eyebrow.
"So, who is it-"
I was interrupted by a pair of lips, landing on mine.
