Alexis stared in the mirror. "Great…," she thought to herself, "My very first zit." She moaned as she picked up the concealer. "Growing up sucks."
She picked up her hairbrush and started to fix her long, light brown hair. "I bet Evan didn't have to deal with things like this," she thought again, "I bet growing up for him was a lot better than this. He has Patrice, Brett, Malcolm; even ARCHIE is better then what I've got."
It was the middle of 7th grade, and Alexis Goldman was just about to turn thirteen. "This is the death year," her older brother Evan laughed. He had told her stories about when he had turned thirteen. When him and their mom had first moved to Indiana. However, Alexis had a hard time believing half of that stuff.
"Call it death all you want," she started to lie, "I'm going to make sure that my thirteenth year is the best year of my life."
Evan laughed and patted his younger sister's head. "Go ahead and try shorty. I dare you."
Alexis glared at him. "Fine then. I will." Then she turned around and headed out the door. "That hard head," she thought, "What makes year thirteen different from any other year anyway?"
She ran her finger over the pimple on her forehead and sighed. "Okay. Maybe that's it. But hey, perk up Lexi. You can prove Evan wrong. Just you wait"
She walked up to the bus stop and saw her friend, Pete, waiting there for her. "Morning Lex," he said happily.
Alexis threw her backpack down and walked up to him. "Morning. Hey can I copy the math homework really fast?"
Pete bit his bottom lip. "Math homework?" he asked nervously.
Alexis laughed "Oh, never mind then.
A few minutes later, the bus pulled up. Alexis looked up to see Anna smirking down at her. Anna was the most popular, and beautiful girl in the entire 7th grade. She was the younger sister of Evans "friend" Lucy. Evan said they were friends, but according to the stories he told, Lucy was a pretty mean girl and didn't like Evan at all. "Sister like sister," Alexis thought.
