Chapter 1: It was funny though huh?
i(((((FLASHBACK)))))i
Jodie often watched Alex while she was sleeping. She was always having nightmares…and they were always about the same thing. She never really asked Alex what had happened. In-fact she was quite frightened of what the answer may be. Jodie just knew that something happened to her Mom.
"Why are you always staring at me?" Alex suddenly shot up in bed causing Jodie to fall off in shock.
"Because…"
"Because why?"
"Because you always have nightmares, and I guess..."Alex cut her off.
"You want to know what happened don't you."
"Yea, a little bit."
"Well, what all do you want to know?"
"What happened to your Mom?"
"I don't really know. First she was there…"
BACK TO PRESENT
"Alex, Jodie! Time to go to school!" Jodie and Alex came running into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mrs. Max!" Jodie and Alex both answered at the same time.
"I'm glad you two are up…a minute more and I would have sent Chico up there." She looked directly at Alex.
"Ew…dog slobber." Jodie smacked the side of her head.
"You better be nice to Chico!"
"Why? You're not nice to Bridget!"
"She chewed up my favorite pair of jeans!"
"Haha…better you than me."
"Okay! Let's just get you two off to school!"
"Oh, and girls…" Mr. Max had just walked into the kitchen. "Make sure you come back to the house before you leave."
"Yes Sir" "Yes Sir"
After they were out of the house they began talking about their trip that was to begin after school.
"So do you think we have enough money?"
"Definitely. We have like two thousand bucks."
"Good."
"Well Mrs. Max said they would be really nice. Maybe they'll even like…not totally shun us."
"But we've only met them once, and that was three years ago."
"We'll… we were good then, right?"
"I honestly have no idea."
"Punching Seth probably wasn't the smartest thing to do."
"It was funny though huh?"
"Yea...the being yelled at wasn't so funny though."
"Well, at least when I punched him I had a reason."
"I personally think you should have elaborated."
"Well the only reason he grabbed me was because he was drunk."
"But he grabbed your COOTER!"
Should I continue? Should I not continue? I know it was really short but….yea. umm question. Should I pair Alex with Summer or Marissa….i really want to pair her with Summer but I've decided to leave it up to whoever reviews.
