“You ok?” She asked, her British accent impossible to hide.

 “YeahII just want chocolate” Alice said standing up, holding the astray with one hand.

 “Let me” whispered Helena taking the astray from Alice‘s hand.

Following Alice to the kitchen, Helena yawned. It was so loud that made Alice turn to look at her.

“I’m sorryI should be going home” She mumbled, not meaning any of hr words.

 “Don’t be sillystay here besidesit’s been so long since I smoke pot” she added, smiling.

 “Good, eh?” Alice said just before taking the longest sip of the Acuarius bottle.

 “Yeah maybe too good” Helena nodded, pouring herself a glass of water.

Leaning on the counter, looking at Helena, Alice mumbled.

Dont you think Dana looked different today?

Rolling her eyes, putting the glass of water on the table, Helena said,

“Not againAl”

“noreally she doesthere is somethingdidnt you see it?”

Moving closer to Alice, removing a lock of hair from her face, Helena whispered.

“Alice, really. you have to move on. Really”

“YeahI know, I knowbut there is something I looking at her. (noticing Helena‘s look)nonoI haven’t stalk herI promiseIat the party she was quiet.she”

“She was probably tireddead after the match” nonchalantly said Helena as she was tidying the kitchen.

Savouring the chocolate, Alice shook the head,

“NoI meanmaybeI don’t know her anymorebut sheI”

Getting lost in her own thoughts, Alice didn’t notice Helena looking at her. But then feeling the stare, she said,

“Ok, okI’ll forget about it.god you are like my mother!” winking at her she passed by walking towards the living room again.

“NoI meanyesgood ideabut” Helena said following Alice‘s steps.

Noticing the tone in her friend’s voice, Alice turned to face her.

“What?” she asked sitting down on the floor again.

“I. you” Helena mumbled sitting on the sofa in front of her. Caressing her forehead, licking her lips, she looked at Alice for a few long seconds before Alice said,

“What? what?…god am getting older here!”  The dramatic input that Alice used brought a smile to Helena‘s face.

You still work at the magazine from time to time, right?” she asked.

“Yeah” Alice sighed “and after today I think I’ll have to go back full time” 

“I meanyou could find out about people.”

“What you mean people? Alice asked, sitting straight, noticing Helena‘s sudden shyness.

“I meancould you find out if somebody has a boyfriend?

Nodding, trying not to laugh, Alice turned around, pretending to look for the chocolate.

“What?”  Asked Helena, back in her own self

“Nothingnothing.sure I all find out” Alice said with the straightest face she could find.

 ” And then inbetween maths and gym, during the next recess you will show me who she is.”

Blushing, Helena stared at Alice for a few seconds before saying,

“Look who’s talking. The crazy stalker”

Smiling, Alice nodded.

 “Yeah “She mumbled, lighting the remains of the joint.
