Tanya raced home, driving faster than she probably should have. It was midday then, so she had ample time before the party started. When she unlocked the door and made it inside, she was relieved at seeing her place not occupied by her friends. James's trailer would have made anyone claustrophobic! The scent of pizza from the previous night lingered in the air. She glanced at the living room briefly before climbing upstairs, half-expecting to find Alex, but there was no sign of him. She dialed Jack's number as soon as she got into her room, but he did not answer so she decided she would wait and call again later. She sunk on the edge of the bed, wondering just where Alex might have gone to and when she would see him again. As strange as it was to admit, she had grown fond of his company.
