Alex's POV

"I'm Alex Cabot," I say as I extend my hand to a skinny boy with shaggy dark blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

"Matt Southerlyn," he says as he shakes my hand. "So you're Serena's girlfriend?"

"I am," I say proudly.

"No offense, I mean I don't want to insult your taste in chicks, but how did a babe like you end up with someone like Serena?"

"Your sister is gorgeous," I tell him.

"Whatever," he says. "Serena couldn't get a date if her life depended on it, let alone a girlfriend. Is she paying you?"

"Are you calling me a prostitute?" I ask.

My tone of voice makes Matt nervous. "No, no. I meant that you're pretty and Serena isn't."

Matt is on his way home from orientation at our school and I'm on my way to visit my girlfriend. Judging by our previous exchange of dialog, this is going to be a long flight.

After our flight lands, we hop into a Lexus SUV that belongs to Matt and Serena's parents. Matt takes the wheel and Abbie rides shotgun. Serena and I feel bad about putting Abbie in the front with Matt, but we care more about cuddling up to each other. I'm sitting in the middle between my Kylie and my Serena. Kylie is fast asleep after such a long flight, which leaves me some time for Serena. We don't care that Matt and Abbie are in the front; Serena and I haven't seen each other in two weeks and we are due for a make out session.

"Hey, Abigail. Maybe we can make out when we get to the house?" Matt asks Abbie.

"Gross," Abbie mutters under her breath and continues to stare out the window.

"Okay, I really don't want to see my sister sucking face," Matt says loud enough to make sure we hear him.

"Shut up, Matt. You're just jealous," Serena tells him.

"Of what?" he asks.

"Well, Matt, I have a hot girlfriend who loves to make out with me and all you have are wet dreams," Serena says and Abbie high fives her from the front seat.

"Remember, Serena, my room is right next to yours," Matt informs us. "I really don't want to spend my summer listening to the two of you have sex 24/7."

"Then I suggest you invest in some ear plugs," Serena tells him in a serious tone of voice.

"Alex, are you sure you want to be with Serena?" Matt asks me.

"Of course I want to be with her."

"She's a real bitch sometimes," he says to me and Serena shoots him a look.

"Serena is a total sweetheart," I tell him. "I can't imagine her being bitchy to anyone."

"She put soap on my toothbrush, Alex," Matt says to me.

"Matt, that was fourteen years ago!" Serena tells him. "And you already got your revenge."

"How did he get his revenge?" I ask Serena.

"I shot her," Matt says proudly.

"You shot her?" I ask him in disbelief.

"Yeah, I got her good," he says with a huge smile on his face.

"It was six months ago," Serena tells me. "I was playing video games in the living room and he comes in with his BB gun, saying 'Hey, Serena. If you can dodge a BB you can dodge a ball' and then he shoots me in the side." My poor Rena. I decide to hold her even closer.

"Stop whining about it," Matt tells her.

"You broke my skin, Matthew," Serena says as her eyes widen. "I still have the scar."

"Well, that'll teach you to put soap on my toothbrush, Rena. That shit was nasty."

"I can't believe you held a grudge for that long, Matt," Abbie tells him. "That's a little creepy."

"Serena tormented me until she left for college, but Mom and Dad wouldn't punish her because she's a girl."

"Aww, you're playing the double standard card, Matt?" Serena asks him. "And Mom and Dad would punish me just as harshly as they'd punish you. They didn't let me outside for the whole summer when I was 10."

"That's because you pushed me out of our tree house," Matt says to her. "I could have died."

"I wish you had," Serena teases and Matt punches her in the knee from the driver's side.

"I still can't believe you managed to get a girlfriend," Matt says to Serena.

"I did and now I'm going to make out with her," Serena tells her brother.

The two of us spend the remainder of the drive making out until we turn into a neighborhood where all of the houses look alike and there's an SUV in every driveway. Alex, you have officially entered suburbia.
