1. Toothpaste, hair gel, latte's and a smile
- Dear diary, today is August 25, a week before school is about to start. And if my life wasn't complicated enough… it just got more complicated. –
I looked at the first sentences I wrote in my new diary that I just got for my birthday. Oh boy, why am I such a bad writer? I asked myself. But before I could answer my own question I heard a boys voice yelling my name. "ALLI! YOU ARE DEAD!" And that was my brother, well, my twin brother, Alec. "Where are you?!" I heard him get up the stairs, while I remembered I'd put toothpaste in his hair gel tube. Damn, I have to get out of here. I threw my diary on my bed and climbed out of my window. My room was on the second floor but luckily there were some plants on the outside of the wall where I could hold on until I was on the ground. I used to escape like this since I was in third grade. I jumped on the ground ran to my bike, a mountain bike which everyone thought was unusual for a girl, and turned around. Just in time to see my brother throw a water balloon out of the window, it landed a meter from were I was standing. I looked up and saw that my brother's hair was totally white and sticky. I smirked. "How do you like your new hair gel?" I asked. "Very funny sister!" He closed the window and suddenly I realized I couldn't get into the house anymore. All the doors were locked and my parents were on a trip to Texas, well … they told us they were, but I don't know if I could still trust them since I discovered … well … something. The only thing I have with me are my wallet, my phone and my bike were I was standing next to. Oh well, I thought, maybe Sky will let me stay at her place.
- Ding Dong - … No one answered the door. – Ding Dong Ding Dong – "Skyler! There's someone at the door, go open it!" I heard Sky's mom yell at her. "Moooomm! I'm busy, and btw you're closer to the door than I am so why don't you get it yourself!" Typically Sky, always finding an excuse to not do something. "Luca peed his pants and unless you want to clean them…" "No No No, I'll go and open the door, don't worry about it mom." Sky interrupted her mom before she was even done finishing her sentence. And then, finally, Sky opened the door. "WTF… Alli?! What in HELL are you wearing?" "Eh; blue skinny jeans, a pink tank top and green sneakers?" I said with a smile. "Let's not forget the two yellow elastics you put in your hair at the end of your side braids." She teased me with a smile. As usual we just had to look at each other's faces to know what the other was up to. And my face, well yeah, it said it all. Sky got out of her house with an excuse saying she totally forget her homework at my place. My mom would've never bought that. She grabbed her bike and, like we could read each other's minds, we biked to the new Starbucks in town.
"Two latte's for the ladies." The cute waiter said while he put the latte's on our table. "How much do we owe you?" Sky asked with her I-Sound-So-Sexy-voice. "Because it's you, my beautiful Sky; nothing at all." And he walked away after smiling gently at her. "Wow, wait a sec. how did he know my name?" Sky turned her head at me and put on a weird asking-me-the-answer-face. "I dunno. Maybe he goes to our school?" I answered while taking a sip of the hot latte. "Weird" She replied, she turned her head and then took a sip of her latte as well. "But anyway, Alli, you looked like you were going to tell me something?"
