Edit: Almost done with the Cs… Editing in alphabetical order. COINCIDENTALLY, (HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA PUNS) the last story on my list is the last one that needs finishing, so that should be a clean finish.
Helluuuu! Here's the story y'all voted for! Well, got the most votes...
No, this isn't an update day, but I don't wanna make it one, mainly because I'm fresh outta ideas for half of my stories.../_- And I've been working so hard on this story, I just couldn't wait! ^^ So... Enjoy! :D
"Alexis, are you alright?"
I looked up to the silvery-blue Aston Martin before me, its aquamarine eyes in the center of the windshield seeming to stare right through me.
"Yeah. Thanks, Finn." I was having a usual conversation with Finn McMissile.
The car before me transformed into a tall man with black hair and a pale blue suit. He put a hand on my shoulder. "You know, you really should be paying attention to your school work."
"Alexis!"
"Huh?" I jerked my head up, yanked out of the wonderful place I called my imagination.
"I asked you how many members of the senate there are."
"One hundred." I answered confidently, regaining my bearings.
"Why?"
"Because there's two guys from each state."
"Very good. Pay attention next time, Miss Corentray." Mrs. Sprout told me.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was glad I was asked about the Senate, and not the House of Representatives. I knew why there were four hundred and sixty... Something… But not exactly now many.
The bell rang and the class stood up. As I was walking out, I heard Mrs. Sprout calling out to do page ten in our constitution books. Ugh... I'll worry about that later. It's official, I hate social studies while we're studying the US Constitution.
"Hello, hello, hello!" Said a perky voice from behind me while I was getting things out of my locker. I spun around to see one of my best friends, Clara.
"Hey, Claire." I smiled.
"How's social studies?"
I rolled my eyes. "Ugh, don't get me started." I closed my locker. "Math?"
"Don't wanna talk about it." Clara shook her head. Our conversation were interrupted by the bell.
"We're going to be late." I sighed.
"Yeah." Clara frowned. "See you at lunch!" Clara's lips curled into an apologetic smile, and sped off down the hall.
"Bye." I quietly said after her, and began walking towards the gymnasium. I resumed my daydream.
"Finn, I hate gym..." I complained in my head.
So one might think; why doesn't this girl talk to real friends instead of imaginary ones? Thing is, I had real friends, two, to be exact, but they weren't in any of my classes.
Not a problem, I had Finn McMissile.
"I know, Alexis. Just imagine you're running from Grem and Acer."
I had always loved Pixar Cars. Ever since I was little, when it first came out in 2006. But two years ago in 2011, I pretty much fell in love with Finn McMissile.
"Alright..." I thought, and stopped in front of the gym door. I took a deep breath and sighed.
"Alexis Corentray, get in there." Finn ordered.
I smiled and went in.
…
"Hey, how was gym, Lexie?" My other best friend, Coley, asked.
The cool thing about my best friends is that they're brother and sister. I mean, the sibling part is cool enough, but they're twins, too. So technically I've got two different halves of one best friend? No, scratch that, that's terrible.
"Horrible, as always." I answered.
The three of us were about three-quarters into seventh grade, and we were pretty much hating it.
"So." Clara changed the subject, "Anything new and exciting to tell us?" she asked.
"Okay," I grinned, suddenly excited. I held up my hands and said, "I found the cutest picture of Finn..." I almost squealed.
The twins rolled their eyes and smiled.
"You and your Finn obsession..." Clara sighed.
"I know." I grinned.
"Finn obsession?" Asked a shrill voice behind us. I turned away from my friends to face it. It was Shandy Valadez. Shandy was the member of a popular clique; what was she doing over by what she considered the "nerd tables"? "You've got a Finn obsession, Corentray?"
"Not the Finn you're thinking of..." I rolled my eyes.
Shandy scoffed. "There's only one Finn."
"Okay, who?" I challenged.
"Duh, Finn the human." She answered confidently. What the fudge is that.
Instead of voicing my annoyed confusion, I told her, "Wrong." I grinned, and turned back around.
Clara mumbled something about how my Finn wasn't even human.
"Go back to your Justin Beaver." I told her, smirking so Shandy wouldn't see.
"It's Bieber!" Shandy screeched a little too loudly, and stormed off. The three of us looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Nice one." Coley grinned, fist bumping me.
About half an hour later, the bell rang indicating lunch was over.
"Time to go. Have fun in science." Clara grinned.
"You know I will." I told her and hugged her. I hugged Coley as well, and ran off in the direction of the science lab.
…
"Daddy, I'm home!" I called as I stepped through the front door, pocketing my key to the house.
"Hey, Lexie! I'm in the office!"
I smiled and made my way to Dad's "office". That's where he kept his guitar stuff. Sure enough, when I entered, he was re-stringing a guitar.
"Hey, Daddy."
"How was school?"
"Eh. The usual." I shrugged.
"Hey Lexie..." Dad spoke slowly, taking a break from turning the dial to tighten a string and setting the guitar down.
"Yeah?"
"I... Need to take another business trip soon..."
"No!" I exclaimed, horrified.
"I'm sorry, Alexis." He sighed.
I took a deep breath and sighed with him. "When?"
"Tonight. I'll be back Tuesday night."
"Tuesday!" I exclaimed again. "That's..." I said, counting on my fingers. "Five days!"
"Five days that I'm sure you'll spend watching Cars 2." He smiled. I sighed, again, and smiled a little.
"Right." I answered.
"Now come on. I'm sure you need help with your algebra homework?"
"Pre-algebra... But normally, yeah." I added with a hint of embarrassment in my voice. "But tonight it's a bit simple."
"Alright then. Tell me if you need any help. Hey, how about we go out for ice cream to make up for me being gone?" Dad suggested with a smile.
"You gonna get mom's favorite?" I asked.
"Yeah." He answered. He was still smiling, but there was a sad look in his eyes.
I thought back when I was younger my whole family would go out for ice cream. Mom would get butterscotch, Dad would get chocolate, and I would always get cookie dough. I still do to this day. I mean why wouldn't I? It's cookie dough.
"I'll be in the car." I grinned, bouncing out of the room. "Ka-chow!" I called down the hall.
"Not so fast, thunder!" Dad called after me. I gigged and leaped out the door.
…
"Goodnight, Lexie."
"Night, Daddy."
"Be sure to set your alarm." Dad warned with a smile. I smiled back, sheepishly. The last time Dad went on a business trip and left me alone on a school morning, my alarm never went off and I ended up waking up at noon, and just didn't go to school.
"Dream of Finn."
"Okay." I grinned. "Have fun on your plane."
"I doubt that'll happen, but thanks." He smiled.
"Just imagine it's Siddeley!" I grinned at him. He laughed and left the room. Eventually I heard him leave the house, and I sighed.
I hated to admit it, but I missed Mom. She died of a heart condition a few years ago. Dad and I were fine financially without her (just as long as Dad went on frequent business trips and worked overtime occasionally), but nothing could fill the hole in our hearts left by Mom.
Cars came close, though. When my family first watched Cars, we could tell right away Flo was like an exact replica of Mom. That's why Flo was Dad's favorite, and my second favorite.
I sighed once again and snuggled with Plush Finn as I closed my eyes.
"Goodnight, Mommy. Goodnight, Finn." I whispered to the two I knew could hear me as I drifted off to sleep.
How do you like it so far? :3 I hope much! :) Review please? ^^
