A/N: Set when the Braxton's first arrive in the bay mainly follows the story line just with an extra character please read and review.
Lexie's alarm buzzed; she gave a small moan before turning over and hitting the snooze button, slowly she began to open her eyes giving a sigh as she prepared herself for the day ahead. She flicked off her sheet dragging herself to her wardrobe opening she grabbed out a bikini and shorts and got changed. Once she was changed she made her way to kitchen opening the cupboard she grabbed an Up & Go and left taking her board on the way out. When she reached the beach the sun was just starting to come up; she gazed out at the waves as they crashed up on to beach. Dumping her stuff she kicked off her shoes and made her way towards the waves.
LEXIE'S P.O.V:
I pulled myself out of the water trying not to cough up my stomach, spitting out the extra water I slowly made my way on to the sand.
"How many times do I have to tell you" Heath said patting me on the back.
"You so cut me off" I replied pushing him.
"No I didn't you were just to slow" he replied sticking his board in to the ground.
"Oh really so you didn't come around and cut me off?" I asked ringing my hair out.
"No, isn't that right Brax?" Heath said.
"Yeah you were just to slow" Brax replied.
"Oh bull-crap, Case" I said looking at Casey.
"Sorry Lexie they're right" Casey replied messing up my hair.
"Well you all must be blind" I replied.
"Don't be such a sore loser" Heath replied.
"You wana go?" I asked giving him a death stare.
"Come at me" Heath replied with an instant he was sprinting with me chasing not far behind. It wasn't long till I caught up with him quickly I jumped on his back and we toppled forward knocking the wind out of me. Before I knew it Heath and Brax had hold of me carrying me towards the water; I struggled to get out but with no luck I was tossed in to the water. I pulled myself up and looked at Casey;
"You going to help me or not?" I asked.
"No" Casey replied. I looked at Brax and Heath who both looked ready to grab me if I attempted to leave the water but I wasn't a quitter. I ran and made a quick duck escaping through their arms. "Hahaha suckers" I yelled running backwards but before I knew it I had fallen on to the sand and my brothers were cracking themselves laughing. I looked at them and all I could do was join in, I eventually got myself up we all grabbed our boards and walked up the path. I reached the top putting my board against the railing I rinsed off.
"You can't wash away the shame" Heath joked as I jumped up next to him.
"You guys better head of soon" Brax told Casey and I.
"I seriously can't believe your making me go to school" I told him.
Brax sighed; "Were not discussing this again" Brax replied.
We sat in silence I watched as a boy came up the path he was tall lean with blonde hair, soon enough he walked passed us.
"Oi" Brax said; both he and Heath jumped off the railing, the boy stopped and turned around.
"Its Romeo aye, Brax, that's Heath, that Casey and Lexie" Brax told him.
"Hm imagine being called Romeo?" I said to Casey.
"And?" Casey replied.
"It's funny" I told him.
"Not really" Casey replied.
"Fine be a party pooper" I teased.
"Oi you 2" Brax yelled at us.
"What?" I replied.
"You better head of and get ready for school" Brax replied.
Casey reluctantly got down from the railing, I looked at Brax and didn't move; I had made it very clear that I wasn't going to school.
"Come on" Brax said.
"No I'm not going" I told him sternly.
"Lexie we're not doing this you are going to school and that's final" Brax said coming towards me.
"You're not my farther you can't tell me what to do!" I barked, I jumped down from the railing grabbed my board and stormed off I could hear Brax yelling my name after me. I ignored him and kept going I could hear someone running up behind me.
"Lexie wait" Heath said.
"What?!" I said stopping and turning around.
"You shouldn't be that hard on him" he advised.
"It's not like you ever do what he say's" I reminded him begging to walk again.
"Hey that's different" he answered walking next to me.
"Is it? Is it really? Why? Because I'm a girl?" I asked.
"No its not cause you're a girl, Lex your 17 you have your whole life ahead of you going to school you can get your HSC, you know make a life for yourself" he lectured.
"You sound just like him, it's funny you know you laugh and joke about Casey going to school but when it comes to me, Okay I don't need school I'm sick of it besides what's the point we all know that I am just going to get expelled again" I explained.
"It's not even a year and you'll be done"
"You never did Year 12, you don't know what you're talking about"
"And neither do you, just give it a shot please look Brax and I don't want to see you end up like Mum"
"Oh don't bring Mum in to it"
"Well do you want to end up like Mum? If you go to school you have a chance to do something with your life, your so close just finish off this year"
I stopped and looked at him; "Let me think about it … No" I stated and continued to walk leaving him behind.
Almost half an hour has passed by the time I got home, I knew I would be in trouble but I didn't care, I walked up to the front door and sure enough there was Brax waiting out the front. I put my board down and walked up to the door.
"Where were you?" he asked, I ignored him and went inside.
"Aren't you meant to be at school" asked Mum who was sitting on the lounge.
"No" I replied.
"Then why I am paying fees for you to go" Mum asked.
"Really you're paying fee's I thought all your money went in to the pokies" I replied angrily.
"Don't you talk to me like that" she replied getting up.
"You know the truth hurts" I snarled.
"How dare you!" she screamed.
"How dare I?! How dare I?!" I yelled back.
"Hey calm down" Brax cried.
"I am your mother you will not talk to me like that!" Mum yelled coming towards me.
"Mother? Really when have you ever been a mother to me?! It's always been Brax or Heath who took care of me never you! God you have guts to call yourself my mother!" I barked at her standing inches away from her I suddenly felt a sting on my face I realised that she had slapped me before I could control my anger I lashed out and punched her.
"LEXIE!" Brax yelled he grabbed my arms and pulled me away forcing me towards my room. He opened my door and pushed me in;
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked.
"What the hell is wrong with me? Did you see her?" I exclaimed.
"You are going to get dressed and I am taking you to school" Brax explained.
"Fine" I replied as he left the room, I opened my cupboard grabbing out my towel and clothes, I made my way to the bathroom briefly listening to Mum and Brax arguing.
Grabbing my towel I dried myself off and got changed; I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at myself. Taking my brush I pulled my hair in to a high pony tail, taking my eyeliner I lined my eyes. I stood back and looked at myself; I was dressed and ready for school.
"Lex, you ready?" Brax asked knocking on the door; I took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Let's get this over and done with" I answered.
