A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the tips/comments. I'm try to improve more on my writing. I'm going into Honors AP English, so I do believe this is preparing me in a way? Hahah, I don't know. But really, I'm going to try my best to please my readers.
I also got comments about the whole Mitchie/Alex's mother thing. I don't know what exactly to do with it yet, but sooner or later I will.
And I apologize for the lack of updating! It's the last week of summer before school starts, so I've been out and about. I totally forgot about writing this story. I'm sorry!
Hey, Alex," Harper leaned into Alex to whisper in her ears. "Who's that girl? I've never seen her before."
Alex chuckled at the girl's curiosity. "That's Mitchie. She just moved her from California." Alex said and looked at Mitchie, who was holding a conversation with her father also enjoying her meal.
"Ah, I see. How'd you two meet?" Harper asked as her eyebrows raised. "Not that I'm noisy or anything."
"It's fine," The raven haired girl just shrugged her shoulder, not minding the question. "We met by my locker and we have English together. So, we just picked up our friendship from there."
Harper just nodded her head and took a book out of her bag and began to read as Alex got up and cleaned the tables.
After a couple of minutes, Mitchie got up and went to the front counter to go pay. Behind the cash register stood Alex. As she walked up there she had her hands both in her pockets and smiled. "Hey," Alex said with a smile. "Is it okay if I pay here?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah, of course. The total is 10.97."
Mitchie took her wallet out of her purse and handed Alex the payment of the bill.
"So I talked to my father about the whole New York tour thing." Mitchie started.
"And he said...?" Alex asked, looking up from the cash register hopefully.
"He told me I can go. As long as you're available to and not mind." Mitchie answered Alex.
"Of course I'm available! I offered you!" Alex laughed and added. "I'll make sure to ask my parents for a day off on Saturday."
"That sounds great!" Mitchie said. "Well, my dad and I are gonna go. Thanks for the great meal."
"It's no problem," Alex added. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll see you tomorrow, Mitchie."
Mitchie waved good bye and walked out the front door along with her father as Alex went to clean up the place.
After the store close, the family went back to their home. Justin was in his room, probably talking on the phone with his girlfriend, Miranda, and Max was probably sleeping. Meanwhile, Alex, who was in her pink leopard pajamas, came out of her room to get a cup of water. On her walk there she had found her mom and dad sitting at the round wooden kitchen table doing some bills. She thought this chance to see if she could get off on the weekend to spend her day with Mitchie.
Alex approached her parents by sitting down next to them. Jerry and Theresa jumped a little when they saw her.
"Alex! What are you doing awake at this hour?" Theresa asked looking down at her wrist watch. "it's way passed your bedtime."
"I know, mom. I was just wondering if I could get a day off on Saturday." Alex asked hopefully as she bit her bottom lip and played with the hem of her shirt.
"And why is this that you want the day off?" Jerry arched his eyebrow. "Are you up to no good?"
"Dad," Alex groan as she slapped her forehead. "I told my friend Alex that I'd take her around New York and show her some cool places and stuff." Alex would always hate it when her parents would think she'd be up to trouble. Theresa sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Fine," Theresa gave in easily. "But, next week! You're working all week. No if, and, or buts, okay? Now go to bed. You have school in the morning."
The middle child jumped up and hugged her parents, "Thanks Mom and Dad! You guys are the best! I love you!" Usually she'd have to beg constantly to get out of work. Luckily this took her little time to accomplish her goal. She then ran to her room and went fell asleep.
The second day of school started off slow. Mitchie walked to her lockers to grab her books and supplies for her first class. She turned around as she saw Alex and her brother arguing. Mitchie couldn't hear what was going so she had decide to ignore the two siblings. Soon Alex arrived at her locker looking frustrated.
"Wow," Mitchie looked the girl up and down. "You look like you're have a great start of the day." Alex rolled her eyes at the sarcastic comment that came out the other girls mouth.
"Tell me about it," Alex reached into her locker to grab her stuff out. "He's always constantly reminding me to be in class on time. It's not like I'm gonna run out the school and do stupid stuff, you know?" Mitchie just nodded. She was the only child, so really didn't have anyone that nags at her. "Oh yeah," Alex added. "My parents gave me a day off this weekend. So that means we can hang out."
Mitchie grinned, "Really? That's great! I can't wait."
Alex giggled at the girl, "Okay, do you want to get to class now? Since it's the second day, I bet the teacher already made a seating chart."
"Yeah, sure. I don't want to be late anyway." Mitchie said as she closed her locker.
"Cool, let's get going then!" Alex smiled and offered Mitchie an arm to link with. The brunette girl smiled also, and linked her arms and made went through the crowd of students huddling around in the hallway.
For some reason I wasn't too happy with this chapter. I don't know why, but I wasn't. Maybe it's because it's almost 3 AM and I'm half awake and half asleep writing this. Hahah. Feel free to leave advices/tips. That'd be nice.
