Erika cursed when there was no answer. This time Alex had really done it. She sat in class, petrified, wondering what there was to do anymore. If Keith was unwilling to continue, how would she ever get her lovely Alex back? Moreover, how would Alex ever find love? Erika sighed and closed her eyes, trying to think of a way to make all the wrong right. Perhaps she should have kept her mouth shut earlier and not taunt Alexandria any further. Erika scanned through her list of numbers with a depressed expression, when she suddenly stopped at one number that just could be the answer to everything. She walked out of class before their teacher was back from the Dean's office and dialled the number.<br/><br/>"Please, pick up." She begged.<br/><br/>"Hello?" A male voice answered.<br/><br/>"Gabe!" Erika exclaimed but then collected herself. "I mean... your highness! It's Erika, Alexandria's friend. There's a bit of a problem in St Elois, a real mess actually. Please, I need your help."<br/><br/>The man was silent for a moment and then asked: "Has someone hurt my little songbird?"<br/><br/>"Well, it's complicated, your greatness. But yes, Marcus hurt her."<br/><br/>"Oh, well that is indeed a problem. What else?"<br/><br/>"There is a new student, Keith Steinmoor, who got involved. He's madly in love with the queen." Erika explained.<br/><br/>"How intriguing! How long has it been since the last one? I can't keep count to be honest. I need to meet him. Unless, of course, my little songbird already had her fun with him and broke him. She can be a little harsh like that."<br/><br/>"He is heartbroken and suffering so much. But Alexandria seems to change when she is around him. From what I've understood, she confessed her feelings last night, but today she-"<br/><br/>"Acted completely differently? Yes, she is a handful. I'll have to have a word with her, if she indeed cares about the boy. That would be good. I can't bear to watch my songbird run around with those useless St Elois jocks."<br/><br/>Erika nodded. "You understand, then. They have a date scheduled for tomorrow but I don't know how that will happen. I don't know were Keith is. And Alexandria is furious."<br/><br/>"Fury is good. It brings her passion." Gabriel responded. "I'll visit her tonight at St Elois and have a talk with my little songbird. I can guarantee you she'll crawl right back to that heartbroken boy and apologize."<br/><br/>"Thank you your highness!" Erika cried out. "Thank you so much!"
