Ok and onto chapter 11 haha and I'm still enjoying writing this story its awesome I'm surprised with myself because normally I get bored with things so easily lol although I have formulated another malex story idea but I don't think I'll write that till this one and my other one are done or one of them is done cause it's hard enough writing two and being in the last year of school.

Anyway the poll is now closed and it looks like Jodie and summer are going to get together at some point in this story

Ok and chapter 11 starts... now

Alex again woke up with Marissa close to her but this time Marissa had her arm draped around Alex's mid drift and had her head resting on Alex's shoulder Alex looked at the time and saw that they only had 30 minutes to get ready for school

"Hey Marissa, we have got to get up, we have to get to school within 30 minutes" Alex stated and got up

"Do we have to" Marissa said sleepily "it was nice before you got up" Marissa said

"yeah, but I already suck at maths and I have a long lesson today, and thanks to you and your acting- I will call it- amber probably won't try to talk to me so I might learn something

"Fine, at least you go to school now" Marissa laughed and got up "can I borrow some clothes, my mum didn't give me much to work with" Marissa said looking over at her bag

"Yeah, that's fine, pick what you want" Alex said and rushed off into the bathroom to have a quick shower while Marissa picked out the clothes. Once Alex was out of the shower and dressed she told Marissa -who had just finished eating- that she could use the shower and Marissa grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom

"So last night sounded fun or actually it was the afternoon but that doesn't really matter" Jodie said looking at Alex waiting for details

"Oh god..." Alex said "you were in the lounge room weren't you..." Alex stated knowing that Jodie wasn't going to believe any explanation that she gave

"Yeah..." Jodie said smirking

"We didn't do anything" Alex said

"Didn't sound like that" Jodie said and raised her eyebrows

"I was on the phone to amber and Marissa decided to get her off the phone she would act like we were having sex while I was on the phone" Alex said honestly but knew that Jodie wouldn't believe it anyway

"Yeah, right" Jodie said "it's ok, I know what really happened"



"If you say so..." Alex said as Marissa came out of the bathroom

"Ok well we had better get going" Alex said and the three of them got in Alex's car and they drove to school and met up with chilli, Cassey and Johnny but didn't have time to talk as they all had to go to their classes but then they all met up in their third class and Marissa and Alex began talking quietly

"hey, when you were at work I rang summer and Seth wants to hang out with us, which actually means you but I think summer would find it weird if it was just you Seth and summer so they want to know when they can hang out with us" Marissa said

"After school today?" Alex offered

"Oh also, my mum rang-" Marissa said but was cut off

"What did she want?" Alex asked curiously

"She wanted me to go back home"

"I think you should" Alex said and Marissa got a slightly hurt look on her face "I just mean that last time you moved in it didn't go so well so... I think maybe you should move back in with your mum" Alex finished

"Oh, ok" Marissa said slightly happier with this answer "well then we can't hang with Seth and summer today anyway because I'm going to have to go over there and listen to the longest lecture in the world" Marissa said and Alex laughed slightly

"again, just remember my technique, about telling her you'll give her idea some thought, you discovered that it works so why not use it" Alex said and Marissa smiled

"I guess you're right, anyway what about Tuesday after school to met with Seth and summer?" Marissa asked

"Yeah, it sounds good to me, not like I have anything to do around here anyway" Alex stated

"Ok cool, I will ring summer later and tell her" Marissa said and then turned the conversation back to going back to her mums

"Can you give me a lift to my mum this afternoon?" Marissa asked Alex

"As long as I don't have to go in, then yeah, I can give you a lift" Alex said

"I think that even if you wanted to my mum wouldn't let you come into the house" Marissa said

"This is probably true, so was that all she said? For you to come back home?" Alex asked Marissa

"Oh, she said my sisters coming back home now, in like a week" Marissa paused and continued "I think that's more so why she wants me to come home" Marissa stated and Alex looked at her with a slightly puzzled look on her face

"You have a sister?" Alex asked as this had never come up in any conversation before

"Yeah Kaitlin, she's my little sister, we don't talk much" Marissa stated



"Explains why I haven't heard about her" Alex said

"Yeah, and now mum has this idea that I will help her get settled in Newport" Marissa said "but I don't think Kaitlin will really care either way"

"Well, maybe it will be a good thing for you, I mean I'm sure she's grown up from when you last saw her" Alex stated

"That doesn't mean she grew up well" Marissa stated

"Ok... but I think you should give her a chance before you go all anti little sister" Alex said to Marissa as they got up to leave the class as the bell had just gone "anyway, I'll see you guys at lunch" Alex said to the whole group as they all split up to go to their separate classes.

The next class went by quickly and Alex was once again with her friends but was now outside eating lunch with them rather than being in a class.

"So how was your weekend?" Johnny asked Alex

"It was alright, actually it was pretty good apart from bits and pieces" Alex said "how was yours?"

"Oh well the beach was awesome, there were some pretty good waves happening, it was too bad you had to work" Johnny said "and Jodie was scoping out some of Newport's girls"

"That doesn't surprise me" Alex stated

"So what did you do?" Johnny asked Marissa

"oh, I visited Alex at work, then got kicked out of my house by my mum then broke up with Ryan and climbed through Alex's window and am now currently at Alex's and Jodie's but I'm going back home this afternoon" Marissa said "so overall not to bad for me" Marissa laughed

"What you got kicked out?" Cassey said "I thought she only ever threatened you with that?" she asked

"Well she found out Alex was back and I was talking with her so she wasn't too happy" Marissa said

"You mum doesn't like Alex then?" chilli said

"I think that's an understatement, when I told her about me and Alex last year I think she was wishing I would go back with DJ – our gardener" Marissa said "and she really didn't like him either"

"Did she kick you out then?" Cassey asked

"More or less" Marissa said "it seems I only get kicked out when Alex is in town" Marissa said smiling

"And you and Ryan are over? Like definatly over?" Johnny asked Marissa

"yep, over for good" Marissa paused for a moment but then continued "and week ago my mum probably would have been wanting me to break up with him, but now that Alex is back in Newport she will probably beg me to go back with Ryan" Marissa said and rolled her eyes



"Julie cooper really doesn't like you, does she Alex?" Johnny asked

"No, not really" Alex said with a bored tone

"Not the easiest enemy to have..." Johnny trailed off "so your moving back in?" Johnny asked Marissa

"Oh yeah, she rang me up yesterday and wanted me to go back home, and Kaitlin's coming back home, my sister" Marissa said at the confused faces they all had

"Oh..." chilli said "so do we get to meet her?"

"Hopefully not" Marissa said simply "me and her don't get along" Marissa said as they looked at her for an explanation

"Oh... alright then" chilli said

"Oh hey Johnny" Alex said "can you drop Jodie home today? Because I've got to take Marissa back to her place, so do you mind

"No, it's cool" Johnny said

"Does anyone bother to ask me if I want a lift home?" Jodie said sarcastically

"Fine, Jodie do you want to walk or get a lift with Johnny?" Alex asked rolling her eyes

"I'll take the lift with Johnny" Jodie said

"Ok, now that that's sorted..." Alex said trailing off as the end of lunch bell went "now I can go to maths and get the cold shoulder" Alex said standing up and walking off to maths. Alex arrived at the class and sat down in her usual spot next to amber

"Hey" Alex said attempting to engage in conversation

"Hi" amber said and turned away

"It really wasn't what it sounded like on the phone" Alex stated hoping she could get her maths tutor back "you didn't let me explain" and amber rolled her eyes

"Fine, explain" amber said and waited for Alex's explanation

"Uh well, you see it's just that when I tell you, you probably won't believe me anyway because... most normal people don't do this but it is Marissa we are talking about..." Alex said trailing off

"That was Marissa?" amber asked

"Yes but it wasn't what it sounded like, she just wanted to get you off the phone so..." Alex said trailing off again

"So she pretended to be having sex with you?" amber asked

"Yeah pretty much but-" Alex said but was cut off



"What is the deal with you two anyway? I mean she comes to your window at like 6 with a bag of things and you practically push me out the door" amber said

"Uh...you know how I said it was complicated" Alex said

"Yeah?" amber questioned

"Well, Marissa she's – she's my ex" Alex said

"You two dated?" amber asked

"Yeah" Alex nodded and it suddenly clicked with amber

"She's the one you're not over!" amber exclaimed

"Uh yeah..." Alex said "well anyway now you know the story so are you still going to help me with maths?" Alex asked

"Yeah, I guess" amber said

"So you're not mad anymore?" Alex asked surprised

"No, I'm still kind of upset, but you really do need help with maths" amber laughed

"Ok, I can live with that" Alex said

"So what day do you want to have your lesson?"

"Well I don't think I'm free till Wednesday, I have to meet up with some old friends" Alex said

"Wednesday is fine by me" amber said and the two girls began working on the work set for them

"Ok, I guess I'll see you on Wednesday since we don't have this tomorrow" amber said as the bell went and the two girls left the classroom

"Yeah, bye" Alex said and walked out of the school to meet with Marissa

"Hey" Marissa said as Alex came walking over to the car

"Hey, guess what" Alex said to Marissa

"What?" Marissa asked

"I still have my maths tutor" Alex said as the two girls hopped into the car and Alex drove off towards Marissa's and Marissa frowned at Alex's comment and Alex noticed

"I really need help with maths – that's all" Alex said

"Good" Marissa said

"Jealous Marissa, this is different" Alex stated "normally it's the other way around"

"Yeah well... I don't know..." Marissa said trailing off not sure of what to say to that



"You still live in the same place? Right?" Alex asked Marissa changing the subject

"Yeah" Marissa said and soon they were at her house

"Well here goes nothing" Marissa said looking vacantly at her house as she got out of the car

"Remember my technique" Alex called out to Marissa who continued to walk up to her front door

Ok so that's the end of chapter 11 and like I said at the top of this chapter I've closed the poll - and 80 of people that voted wanted Jodie and summer together, so it looks like that's what's going to happen (sorry to those of you that didn't want that – but it won't be a main part anyway and majority rules) so yeah anyway continue to review it makes me happy lol

Also I got house season 4 on DVD, house is an awesome show and it's even better now that Olivia wilde is in it lol yay for Olivia haha :D

Anyway thanks for reading and I hope you will review
