Alexis's POV
"Stop staring at that screen Sophie!” I warned my older sister. “You've been so absorbed in your laptop for over an hour, it's not good for your eyes!" She broke the staring contest with her computer to look up at me and roll her eyes.
"How about no. You never listen to me so why should I listen to you?" She spat back flipping her hair over her shoulder before looking back at the screen in front of her.
What could be so important?
"Because this is a free country and I don't need to listen to you because I really don't have an interest in what you say about how I should dress!" Sophie has long wavy brown hair that compliments her seemingly black eyes. She also has a body that I could only dream of having.
If you can’t tell by now Sophie and I are sharp opposites. She goes shopping every weekend and gets her nails done. Not to mention all of the guys that ask her out on a daily basis.
She rolled her eyes yet again, "Exactly it’s a free country so I don’t need to listen to you either. And tell that to the number of guys that call you. Oh wait, no one ever calls you besides that weird guy that always wears those huge glasses and suspenders.” She paused to think for a moment before continuing, “Um...Andy was it? If you would fix yourself up a bit and look a little presentable, maybe the male population would notice your existence."
"Are we seriously gonna have this conversation again, Soph?!" I yell getting a bit annoyed that she involved Andy in this conversation, again. I have two best friends Jazz and Andy, we have been friends since the fifth grade.
Seriously though, I’m comfortable like this. I shouldn’t need to change myself to please others.
"We wouldn't have to have this conversation if you would just change the way you dress, look at Jasmin for example." She said as she turned off the laptop. Sophie refers to Jazz a lot when it comes to talking about my choice of fashion. Jazz is a lot like Sophie, she uses makeup, keeps up with the latest trends and she also wears those killers that girls at my school call heels. I mean who is comfortable wearing those things? I read that they are not good for the heel of your feet.
My best friend and sister always try to change the way that I dress but I never let them. I think its completely stupid to dress up to go to school like it was some sort of beauty pageant.
Let me introduce myself.. my name is Alexis Coleman, I have dark brown, somewhat black long hair. My eyes are a stunning shade of green, I personally think they could make the wicked witch of the west jealous. I also think that my eyes compliment my petite figure really nicely. My older sister shares some of my features as well, but we both got our looks from our mom.
My friends list isn’t long at all. My two best friends are the only ones that I really need, they’re awesome friends and they’re always there for me when I need them to be.
Andy has honey brown hair that shines and he also has green eyes that make him stand out. Green eyes are just delightful. He is just like me and that's why our friendship has lasted this long, we agree on a lot of topics.
Jazz on the other hand has long silky blonde hair and fabulous blue eyes that when you look at them your worries would just disappear. Her height is about average for her age.
After the brief argument I had with Sophie, I sat at my reading table and played sudoku. Yes, I enjoy playing sudoku, while my peers prefer going to parties and getting wasted. Complete waste of time.
After winning a few games I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling fan spin in circles for a few seconds before I got an incoming text from Andy.
Andy: Hey there!
Me: Hi Andy
Andy: Are you ready for school to start?
Me: Not really.. I don't want to see Christina again this year.
I close my phone and lay it on my chest. Christina is so mean. She’s just a baleful person. I don’t understand why she targets me, does she not have anything better to do?
Andy: Ignore her, she’s just rude
Me: Totally..
Andy: Aly, I wanted to tell you something important...
Me: Okay, go for it.
I close my phone again, my heart is hammering in my chest. Not for any particular reason, just the fact that, that sentence is a daunting one.
Andy: Never mind, it's nothing important.
He's always acting weird around me, Jazz thinks he likes me, but I don't think so. After all, the male population doesn’t notice me in that way.
After playing a few more games of sudoku out of boredom, I fall asleep thinking about the school year in front of me.
Kyle's POVWe stood at the sidewalk for over five minutes just staring at each other. I spent my time looking for her and not practicing what I'd say if i actually saw her again.This was weird. This silence was the loudest. It was us calling out to each other without knowing what to say."This is awkward." She said after kicking a stone with her foot."Tell me about it! We were never like this"I examined her. Her eyes were still sparkling and the dress she wore without a doubt made her looking astonishing."So what are you doing here?"I looked at her for a minute. Is she really asking me why I'm here!? Isn't it obvious?&n
Kyle's POV"Fine. I'll tell you." She finally surrendered."Go on..""I know they had an aunt in LA. Glendale to be specific.""Great. Give me the address."She took a pen from the desk and wrote something and handed it over to me. I read it and it looked legit."Thank you. Let's keep this encounter in this room.""But first...Mr Peterson, You are fired!" I turn my attention to the man behind me."But she told you what you wanted, why am I getting fired?" He grumpily complained."Managers don't have sex with the people they are managing." I said before exiting the cafe.
Kyle's POV Did I just hear him right? Did he just say her mom died?! "Are you being serious?" I asked with a faded smile. "Yes. They had her wake last week and the funeral, I guess is on Saturday? I'm really not sure." Ashton explained and so many things began running through my mind. "I need to see Alexis. Right now." I muttered under my breath and made my way to my car parked outside. I can't begin to imagine how she must be feeling. I drove to her house and knocked at the door and waited for a response but nothing. &nbs

Kyle's POV"Rise and shine sleepyhead!!!" A tiny voice echoed through my room. I groaned clutching to my pillow and turning the opposite direction.It was silent for a minute. Maybe she left. Then i heard the curtains rails move and like a surprise,a bright ray of sunshine hit my face."No..." I cover my face and sit up straight. "What the hell Em?" I say with a scowl on my face. "Someone's a little off today,what happened last night? Was the party not good?" She looked concerned."No. I don't want to talk about it" i look at her and run my hand through my chestnut brown hair. "If you could tel.....""I just fucking said i didn't want to talk about it. Leave my room Em. I'm not coming down for breakfast" i cut her
Alexis POV"Alexis." He called me and walked to me. "Everyone's ready to leave let's all go together" he smiled and pointed me to Jasmine and Ash and Brian and Andy.I took my hand and slapped him across the face. He was surprised by the action and so was everyone else as they all rushed to us. "What tha hell Al..." Jasmine trued to say but my hand meeting her face shut her up."What is going on here?" Ashton asked me and i just glared at Jasmine and Kyle. "Ask your girlfriend,let's see if she has the least amount of shame to tell you" i directed at Jasmine and i think by now with the expression on both their faces,i Can tell they realized what i meant."Lexi let me explain" Kyle held me but i pushed him off. "The truth is i really don't know what to say,you both left me speechless so i wil
