A/N Thanks to all for reading and reviewing. I have new respect for all you authors after trying to put together a good read! Enjoy.
Chapter 4
Stacy and Alex had just come out onto her stoop when they were greeted by the familiar sound of skateboard wheels approaching, and Jay Adams' voice sing-songing "Well, well, look what I found – Stacy and Alex – it's like the Kinks say: Boys will be girls and girls will be boys it's a mixed up, muffled up, shook up world."
"Glad our names move you to song, Jay" Stacy said rolling his eyes.
"Hey isn't the next line "except for Lola"? asked Alex. Maybe we should call him Lola?"
Now it was Jay's turn to roll his eyes. "Baby you can call me anything you like, as long as you call", he winked. "So, Stacy what's up? Just being the welcome wagon for Dogtown?"
"Actually, Stacy was just going to show me someplace to get something good to eat." Alex said, inclining her head towards Stacy like let's go. "So, he's gonna show you something good to eat? Jay smirked, "wow you make it almost too easy to give you a hard time." Jay elbowed Stacy like good one huh.
Stacy looked from his longtime friend to this new and very intriguing girl, and shook his head. Jay was usually really funny in a raunchy kind of way-but he seemed to be trying almost too much to get Alex's attention.
Jay, on the other hand, was trying to process how Stacy was hanging out with this fine girl that showed up in Dogtown just yesterday. Sure if it were him or Tony, chicks were usually scooped up quickly and effortlessly. But Stacy? Come on, the dude always seemed to be into that incredibly slooow, romancin' the chick thing! Jay grudgingly accepted Stacy sometimes beating him in skating contests, but beating him to fresh chicks? Unacceptable! Alright then- game on… Jay put on his most dazzling smile "So where we goin' to eat?"
Uhh, Stacy and Alex mumbled in unison, neither really sure about their new dinner companion, though each for their own reasons. "Well follow me then, if you two can't make up your mind", said Jay looking around as if he was trying to get his bearings. "What exactly brought us right here? Ooh, is this the princess' new castle?
"I think it was that skateboard that brought you here" Alex peered over at Jay ignoring his question. "And I bet it'll take you away too if you give it a shot."
Jay surveyed the rundown house they were in front of and surmised "So your folks sure aren't rich-you're gonna fit right in here."
"My folks got nothing to do with it-this is my own place" Alex retorted trying to show a little pride. "Besides, it's really not that bad, I mean it's even got a pool – though I hear I can't fill it because of the draught." She threw her hands up in the air. "How's that for useless?"
Stacy and Jay slowly turned towards each other- blissful smiles spreading across their faces.
