"Chapter Five"
"Craig?"
"Guys?" Craig questioned. "What are you doing here?"
"My cousin Marta lives here," Marco replied. "What are you doing here?"
"I am here with my cousin," Craig answered.
"Who's your cousin?" Paige asked.
"Adam," Craig answered. "We are here helping Marta with some present for their friend."
"Oh..." Marco looked down and then back up. "We are staying here, so can we come in?"
"I guess. Marta told me to get the door." Craig moved out of the way, and Marco, Dylan, Paige and Ashley walked inside. They walked in and out came Marta followed by her friend Adam. Marta had shoulder length, strait, black hair. Her skin was white, and she was wearing a black tank-top and navy blue jeans. Adam had short, brown hair under a green, CSU Rams cap. He had a white T-shirt on along with his flame swimming trunks.
"Marco!" Marta smiled and hugged her cousin.
"Hey Marta," Marco replied with the double kiss on the cheeks thing.
"How have you been?" Marta asked.
"Very good!" Marco smiled. "Oh I would like you to meet my friends." Marco walked back and pointed to each of his friends, "This is Paige, Ashley, and my boyfriend Dylan."
"Oo..." Marta smiled. "You have a boyfriend. How cute! This is my friend Adam and his cousin Craig."
"We know Craig!" Paige said.
"Really?" Marta questioned, "How?"
"He lives in the same town as us and goes to our school," Ashley smiled.
"How nice!" Marta said. "You can put your stuff downstairs in the guest bedroom and then come up to my room."
Marco, Dylan, Ashley, and Paige went down the stairs and turned the corner. There was a small guest bedroom where they put their stuff. They began to walk back upstairs when Dylan said, "How come she knows you are gay, but your parents don't?"
"She's more understanding," Marco replied. They continued to walk past the door way and up another set of stairs and right into Marta's room. "What are you guys doing up here anyways?"
"Our friend Abi is having a pool birthday party tonight!" Marta grinned. "We are making her a huge collage of different things for her present. You guys wanna help?"
"Sure!" Marco kneeled down and began glueing pictures toghether. The rest of them just stood there.
"I bet Abi wouldn't mind if your cousin and his friends came." Adam said. "She said Craig could come."
"Awesome!" Marta smiled. "You guys have swimsuits right?"
"Yes," they all replied.
"Great!" Marta continued glueing pictures.
A few hours had passed and 7:00 rolled around. Dylan pulled up to a community pool by a large elementry school. "We're here!" He yelled as the scrunched few in the back wiggled out. They went inside and found Abi. Abi had short curly hair and blue eyes.
"Hello!" Abi smiled as she hugged Marta and Adam.
"Hey," Adam and Marta said.
"This is my cousin Craig!" Adam said as another girl walked up to them. This girl had shoulder length, dark brown with blonde streaks, hair.
"Who's this cutie," the girl said as she shook Craig's hand. Ashley began to get angry and tried to walk up to them, but Paige held her back.
"This is Craig, my cousin." Adam replied.
"Yes, and this is my cousin Marco," Marta smiled, "and his friends Paige, Ashely, and ... Dylan!"
They all smiled.
"Everyone in the pool!" Abi yelled as she jumped into the rectangular pool followed by everyone else.
Ashley swam up to Lexy who was talking to Abi. "HEY!" She yelled.
Lexy turned around, "What's your problem?"
"What makes you think you can have Craig?" Ashley sneered.
"It's not like you have a claim on him!" Lexy argued.
"I did not come all the way here so you could have Craig!" Ashley screamed.
"Well what makes you think he's yours?" Lexy questioned.
"I dated him once," Ashley snickered.
"So then you're his recycled girl," Lext chuckled. "Do us all a favor and get over yourself!"
"OO!" Ashley slapped Lexy across the face. Lexy slapped her back.
"CAT FIGHT!" Adam yelled as everyone gathered.
Lexy put her hands on Ashley's shoulders and began shaking her. Ashley grabbed Lexy's hair and began to pull hard. Lexy kicked Ashley's legs making her lose her balance. Lexy then pushed Ashley under. Ashley forced her way back up and socked Lexy in the nose. Blood began dripping out into the pool. Lexy was having none of it. She socked Ashley in the eye. Ashley let go of Lexy and passed out. Marco and Dylan grabbed Ashley's arms and lifted her back up and took her out of the pool. Everyone else followed.
Ashley began opening her eyes. She looked around to see many people around her. "Ugh... What happened?"
"Lexy cleaned your clock!" Adam exclaimed with a huge smile on his face.
"Shut up Adam," another girl ordered. Adam gave her a dirty look and kept quiet.
Later that night Craig and Adam where getting ready for bed in Adam's room.
"Some night!" Adam exclaimed as he put his pajama pants on.
"Does this always happen up here?" Craig asked.
"I've only had girls fight over me before," Adam laughed.
"Yah right!" Craig grinned as he threw a pillow and a blanket on the beige carpeted floor.
"So who's this Ashley chick anyways?" Adam asked.
"She's my ex-girlfriend," Craig replied.
"Why ex?"
"I cheated on her with Manny Santos."
"Who's Manny Santos?"
"This girl from my scho... Oh just look at this picture," Craig pulled a picture and gave it to Adam.
Adam looked at it for a second, "Damn! She's hot!"
"Yes she is, but our relationship was short-lived aswell."
"Because they figured out your sceam?"
"Pretty much!"
"I'll have to come up to Toronto sometime and check this chick out."
"Right... You do that..."
They both laid down and went to sleep.
At Marta's house Marco and Marta sat in Marta's room talking.
"So you haven't told your parents yet?" She asked.
"You know how stricked my dad is," Marco complained. "He'd disown me."
"Kinda like my dad." Marta said.
"Yah well just don't tell anyone and we'll be good."
"Of course not," Marta smiled.
The next morning Marco woke up on Marta's floor. Marta was out of the room at the time. Marco got up and walked down the off-white carpeted stairs. There at the stone table sat Marta, Dylan, Paige, Ashley, Guilia, and Anna.
"You know you and you're sisters look a lot alike Marta," Dylan pointed out.
"UH!" Marta gave a sarcastic evil look.
"We look nothing like her," Guilia and Anna said.
"Oh... Sorry," Dylan looked down.
"Hey guys," Marco said.
"Hey!" They all replied.
"Sit down Marco," Marta said. Dylan saved a seat, next to him, for marco.
"So what are we doing today?" Ashley quickly asked.
"I thought that we could hit the mall," Marta answered.
"We should invite Adam and..." Ashley started.
"He's gunna meet us there, with his cousin... uh," Marta said.
"CRAIG!" Ashley snapped. "That's his name."
"S...sorry," Marta looked around.
"ADAM!" Adam's mother yelled from downstairs.
Adam went to the stairs and called down, "Yes mom?"
"Are you guys ready to go to the mall yet?" She yelled.
"We'll be right down," Adam yelled and walked back into his room. "We gots to go now Craig."
"Okay," Craig smiled. "Hey you should call that Lexy chick and invite her to the mall."
"What are you in love with her now?" Adam questioned.
"She's pretty cute," Craig confessed.
"Oh..." Adam laughed.
Later, at the mall, Marco and friends waited for Adam and Craig to show up. At that time Lexy walked up to them.
"Hey guys," Lexy grinned.
"Hey Lexy!" Marta exclaimed. "I didn't know that you were gunna be here."
"Adam invited me," Lexy smiled.
"Oh cool!" Marta said.
"Oh great... The whore's here," Ashley whispered to Paige.
"Ashley, you can't hold on to Craig forever," Paige said.
"I have to see if it will work again before I give up," Ashley claimed.
"Whatever you say," Paige said.
Finally Adam and Craig made their appearance.
"It's about time!" Marta snapped.
"Sorry," Adam said.
"Yah," Craig laughed. "Adam's mom let Adam drive and he did it all slow."
"I did not!" Adam yelled.
"Nah I'm just messin," Craig lauged.
"You're so funny Craig, " Lexy claimed.
"Uh... Thanks lexy," Craig said.
"Of course," Lexy grinned.
Ashley walked over and pushed Lexy aside. "Hey Craig," she said.
"Hi Ash," Craig frowned.
"Let's walk around," Ashley said.
"Actually..." Craig began.
"Oh come on," Ashley persisted.
"That's okay," Craig smiled. "I'd rather walk around with Lexy!"
"What...?" Ashley's jaw dropped.
"I said I wanna hang with Lexy," Craid snared. "I wanna get to know her."
"Really?" Lexy started screaming like a little school girl.
"Uh..." Craig laughed. "I do."
"Oo..." Paige smiled. "We should go walk around and leave these two alone."
"Yah," Marco laughed. "It's getting too hot in here!"
They all began to walk in the other direction leaving Craig and Lexy behind. "Ash, come on," Paige demanded.
"Actually, I have to go find a bathroom." Ashley lied, "I'll catch up in a few."
"Do you want me to wait?" Paige asked.
"No, I'll just find you guys." Ashley began walking leaving Paige to walk the other way. Ashley then turned into a nearby store. She then poked her head out and watched Lexy and Craig.
Lexy and Craig sat down on the fountain edge and began to talk.
"So are you from this town," Craig asked.
"Nope! I'm from Toronto like you." Lexy smiled.
"How is it that I don't know you then?" Craig asked.
"Well, I went to Degrassi Elementary." She confessed.
"So did I, wait..." Craid said. "There was a girl in my 3rd grade class named Lexy. But, she moved away."
"That was probably me!" Lexy giggled.
"Really?" Craig questioned. "That means we've known eachother since then."
"Then we can hook up easilier." Lexy grinned.
"Say what?" Craig smiled.
"I mean..." She began as Craig leaned in and kissed her. He then pulled off. "Wha..."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Craig smiled. "You're just so beautiful."
Lexy then put her arms around Craig's shoulders and leaned in towards him. They began making out. Nearby Ashley was still watching what was happening. She quickly exited the store and stomped over to Craig and Lexy. "What the hell are you two doing?" She yelled.
Craig broke the kiss, "What do you mean?"
"Kissing!" She glared, "you two barely even know eachother."
"You'd be surprised." Carig grinned.
"Do you have a problem with it?" Lexy got in Ashley's face.
Ashley did the "Z" Snap. "Actually, I do have a problem with it."
"So it's on again?" Lexy grabbed Ashley and began shaking her. Ashley socked Lexy in the stomach. Lexy retalliated with a head to head bash. Ashley stepped back a bit as Lexy lunged at her and pushed her to the floor. Ashley got up and began pushing Lexy. She pushed Lexy right over the edge of the fountain. Lexy began to fall, but as she did she grabbed Ashley's arm. Into the water they went.
A security guard finally showed up, "What the hell is going on here?"
Lexy and Ashley, both wet, just looked at him.
"That's it!" He yelled, "both of you out!"
Outside stood Lexy and Craig, with Ashley nearby.
"That was intense," Craig laughed.
"I don't take trash from a skank!" Lexy exclaimed. "When it's on, it's on!"
"Right!" Craig smiled. "So you wanna get outta here?"
"And do what?" Lexy asked.
"Whatever we decided to do," Craig grinned as he grabbed Lexy's hand. They began to walk away.
