here's more of my story:
I shook my head,"Whatever, let's go find Kyle, Zac, and Matt!"
I called Matt,"Hey Alexis!" he said. I put my finger in my left ear so I could hear through my right,"Hey Matt. Who are you with?" He said,"Umm...I'm with Kyle and Zac." I nodded,"Good, where are you guys anyway?" He laughed,"Oh sorry, Zac just mooned someone, we're at..uh...Room 140." He laughed again. I rolled my eyes,"Okay, eew, tell Zac to stop!" He said,"Look, gotta go, see you here!" "Bye," I said, then hung up. Missy asked me,"What happened to Zac?" I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out,"He mooned someone!" She closed her eyes and shook her head,"Eew! That's totally nasty!" I nodded,"I know! That's exactly what I said!" We giggled and she asked,"Where are they anyway?" I told her,"Room 140." She rolled her eyes,"I hate that room! Mr. Calaberi is so mean to me, personally!" I raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow,"Oh, boo-hoo! Come on!" We started to walk to Room 140. Missy's raised her eyebrows at me,"I'm serious! He, like, totally hates me, dude! My mom checked my homework, and she's a skinkin' teacher, and she said it was right, and he gave me an F!" I laughed,"That's because your mom's a history teacher and Mr. Calaberi teaches math!" She rolled her eyes,"Whatever! I just know he hates me Leelee!" I glared at her,"You know I hate when you call me that!" She smiled,"That's the point!" I raised an eyebrow and ran ahead of her. I heard her groan, then she ran up to me,"I'm sorry Alex! Forgive me?" I stopped and looked away,"I don't know." I could practically hear her twisting her hair around her finger, she always did that when she felt bad. I looked up and saw her looking down, I smiled,"Of course I forgive you Miss!" She looked up and I saw her eyes looked sad,"Really?" I hugged her,"Of course." I heard her sniffle, I got out of the hug and looked at her,"Missy? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She sighed,"I don't know...it's just...I just hate when I make you feel bad! Because, Alex...you've been my best friend forever! And I hate when we fight, girl!" I held her cheeks and looked at her,"Missy, you know we're always gonna be best friends!" She looked up,smiled and hugged me. I smiled at her and grabbed her hand,"C'mon! We're gotta go find the guys!"
When we finally found them, they were just lounging around and talking. Missy went up to Zac and kissed him on the lips, did I mention that they were dating? First Zac broke up with Michelle, this girl in our class, then he started dating Missy. After their very long lip-lock, Missy slapped him. Zac grabbed his cheek and asked,"What was that for?" She smiled, hands on her hips, and said,"Don't moon people! It's very rude!" Then she flipped her hair and walked over to me, smiling. My mouth dropped open and I high-fived her. Matt came up to me,"Where do you wanna go, Alex?" I looked up, "I don't know! Where do you guys wanna go?" Then my phone rang, I held a finger up and my friends nodded. I got my phone out of my Gucci purse,
"Hello?"
"Hey honey! Where are you?" It was my mom.
"Hi Mom! I'm still at school! Why did you wanna know?"
"Oh...well were you planning on going anywhere?"
"Well. actually, ye..."
"Well, I have to come pick you up!"
"What? But I was going to hang out with Matt...." I blushed when I realized that I had only said Matt. "I...uh...I mean I was going to hang out with my friends!"
"No, Alexis. You have to come home, I'm coming to pick you up, I'll be there in two minutes."
"But.....ma...ma....Mom?! No! Why?!"
"Honey! No. That's final!"
Then she hung up. I frowned and angrily put my phone away. Matt looked at me and asked,"What's wrong? Fight with your mom?" I rolled my eyes,"Not exactly, look, guys, I'm really sorry, my mom just told me she has to pick me up now, so gotta go." I waved at them quickly and turned around. Missy ran to my side and held my hand,"Lexi, your mom wouldnt' be mad if I came to your house too, would she?" I laughed and said,"Of course not! You're like her daughter too!" She smiled. "C'mon Miss! Let's go!" I told her and we raced off.
Chapter Two
When we got to my mom's car, I opened the car door and waved,"Hey Mom!" She smiled at me,"Hey honey...." When she saw Missy, she smiled and waved,"Oh....hello Missy! How are you?" Missy waved and smiled,"Hey, Mrs.Caleb, I'm fine, you?" My mom smiled,"Oh, I'm doing just fine! How's your mother?" Missy twirled her hair around her finger,"Oh...she's doing just fine, she still has that cold she got last week." My mom looked thoughtfully at Missy,"Oh, I should get her a gift basket! I know she loves those!" Missy laughed. My mom smiled and told me,"Get in the car honey." I smiled at her and looked at Missy, she smiled and tilted her head in the direction of my mom. "Oh...well...actually....um....Mom, I was thinking that maybe Missy could come home with us? Please?" My mom looked at Missy and said,"I'm sorry, Missy, that's not gonna work out because I need to talk to Alexis alone." Missy smiled and nodded,"That's okay! I understand, well I better get back to the guys!" She waved while I got in the car,"I'll call you later," I said, then I shut the door and crossed my arms. My mom started up the car and rolled down the window,"Tell your mother I said hi Missy, I hope she gets better!" Missy smiled, nodded, then ran off to go meet the boys.
I rolled up the window and looked away from my mom,"I don't get why she couldn't come with us," I said, still looking the away from my mother. My mom sighed and started to drive,"Honey, I just need to talk to you at home." I rolled my eyes,"Whatever. I understand."
For the rest of the drive home, I told my mom about my day at school, and how Zac had given someone an atomic wedgie. She laughed.
When we finally pulled into our driveway, I got out of the car, got my backpack out of the trunk, and asked my mom,"Are Lena and Rachel home?" Lena and Rachel were my two older sisters. Lena was a Junior in high school, and Rachel was a Freshman. "Lena's home but I have to go pick up Rachel at 4...." she looked at her watch,"and it's already 3:45!" My mom opened the front door and put her purse on the counter.
This is what my house looks like, when you first walk in the front door, there's the kitchen, then if you make a left, there's a big room, that's our dining room. If you go back into the kitchen and walk straight from the front door, there's our living room, then my parents' study, the computer room, and two bathrooms. Upstairs, there's my room, my parents' room, Lena's room, and Rachel's room. Each bedroom has a bathroom, a walk-in closet (with the exception of my parents' room which has two walk-in closet's) and a deck. And downstairs, we also have a backyard that has a pool, a hot tub, a grassy area, a grill, an outdoors table, and a trampoline, since Lena's a cheerleader. And that's pretty much our house, and even though it sounds small to some people, it's really, really, big!
I went into the living room and saw Lena sitting down and watching TV. I sat down next to her and said,"Hey Lenny!" Lena looked at me and smiled,"Hey Alex! How do you like being a seventh grader?" I smiled,"Well technically, I'm not a seventh grader yet, but it's pretty awesome so far! Except for Mom making me skip hanging out with Matt...." Lena's mouth dropped open,"Oh my God! Why haven't I noticed this before? You totally like Matt!" I frowned at her,"Nuh-uh!" She raised a beautiful eyebrow at me. I shook my head,"No.....no way! Matt and me? Seriously...no!" She shrugged,"Whatever...now leave cuz I'm gonna watch Desperate Housewives!"
She shooed me away with her hand and I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen, I saw my mom making herself a sandwhich. "Hey Mama! What did you want to talk to me about?" My mom grabbed my hand and brought me to the dining room, we sat down next to each other and she put her hands in her lap and smiled at me,"Honey....you know how every summer you just stay home and lounge around?" I nodded slowly, where was she going with this? She smiled,"Well, this summer your father an I are going to be in Italy." I smiled,"Mom, that's great!" She smiled back at me and said,"Well..the thing is Lena's going to that Cheerleading Camp, and Rachel's going to be in New Jersey with her best friend. So that leaves you." I nodded,"Oh, Mom, I don't have a problem staying home for the summer, I mean, I stay by myself for like a whole week!" My mom looked at her lap,"But, honey, this is going to be for three months, and your father and I have talked about it and we don't want you home alone for three months...." I nodded,"I could just stay with Missy!" My mom shook her head,"They're going to Cancun together this summer, honey." I frowned,"Then where am I gonna stay?" My mom sighed and looked at me seriously,"Honey, I hate to say it, but, you're gonna be going to camp this summer." I looked at her for a moment, then burst out laughing,"Yeah, sure Mom, good one! Look, I'm gonna go watch some TV." I got up but my mom grabbed my hand and pulled me back down,"Honey, I'm serious, you are going to camp this summer!" I screamed,"Camp?! You can't be serious Mom! Do you hate me that much? I can't survive at camp! You know what,I'm OK with it, at least it's not in another state!" I laughed at the thought of that. My mom bit her lip,"Actually honey, it's in Florida, in um, Miami." My mom looked down and I glared at her,"Miami? How can you send me to a camp in MIAMI? When did you sign the papers?!" She looked down,"Two months ago...honey I'm..." My mouth dropped open,"TWO MONTHS ago?! You didn't tell me for two months?! Oh, is there anything else I don't know, I'm adopted, you're getting rid of me? Well I would rather live with a mom that doesn't lie to me for two months! You know what, I....I hate you!" I screamed and ran to the stairs. Lena turned around from the couch,"Chichi, what's wrong?
