So maybe Chapter 10 was a bit short... But there is going to be a lot of chapters (Kinda just noticed it now) So I'll try to speed it along... What ever. ENJOY!
CHAPTER 11
(Joe)
I know all the guys like Haylee, but after last night, I think some of them are... distracted, I guess by the other girls. It wasn't until when we woke up that they had thought about her at all (other than her and Martin in the kitchen) Preston, however, was thinking the same thing as I was.
"Don't you guys think it's weird how Haylee acts when she talks about her parents? And how she calls them by their first name?" Preston had paid more attention to her than I had thought. The other guys hadn't really noticed it that much. Martin thought it was weird how nice she was when he was throwing up. Cary thought it was weird how her dog liked his face when he was supposed to kiss Laika. Charles thought that Haylee could be an alien.
"Really! Think about it! She moves here, with people who most likely aren't her parents, she has a f***ing genius dog, and her ring didn't look normal." None of us had even noticed her ring "It was silver with some sort of design on it, and it had a light green gem, that was odd shaped." Obviously he has paid close attention to her.
Then I remembered something "Guys. Mrs and Mr Wilson have lived there since they got married. They never had any kids, and then this summer, a girl who is our age moves in with them. And she obviously doesn't want us to know. And did you look at her and Alice when we talked about her parents? Alice knows whats going on with Haylee."
Martin was the one to speak first "Then just ask Alice what's going on! She'll talk to you!"
"Jesus Smartin!" Charles rolled his eyes " Alice and Haylee are, like, best friends now! And if Alice knows, which she does, she won't tell ANYONE, and she'll make sure that no one finds out. Wait... If she is an alien... what if her parent was the alien that left! What if she can change forms! What if there are more of her kind! What if they're coming back!"
Cary looked like he was in deep thought "If its back, then that means..." He jumped out of his sleeping bag "MORE EXPLOSIONS, HELL YEAH!"
As he jumped up, a slip of paper fell out of his pocket, and Charles picked it up "Holy sh!t you got Jenny's phone number! She's hot!"
"And short." Preston said, while grabbing the paper. "Why don't you call up your little girlfriend, invite her on a 'date', and let us ask her some questions about Haylee." Cary paused for a second, and then lunged for to paper, but Preston handed it to Martin, who held it above his head. Charles tackled Cary, and held him on the ground, while I took the slip of paper, and hid it in my room. We couldn't call her now, since she was probably still at Haylee's house. I locked the door, but left a ruler peeking out the window, so I could get back in. When I came back, Cary had forgotten about the paper, and was focused on beating Charles. After a few minutes, we decided we would call the girls and see if we could all do something today. Charles got up and Cary said "I would have gotten you off of me, but its hard pushing an obese walrus."
(Haylee)
I was the first one to wake up. I always wake up at 6:00, its just a habit. My mom said that she did too. We had a lot of things in common. Since it was 6, I knew we had at least 4 hours before Elle and George came home. After about 30 minutes, only Alice and I had woken up. We went into the kitchen to talk, just about the town, and the people in our grade, and the guys. I had just told her what went on in the kitchen with Martin when the phone rang, and woke up the other girls. I picked it up- not until waiting 2 rings. My grandmother used to say that the phone wouldn't work if you picked it up before two rings. It just became a habit of mine.
It was Joe on the phone, but I could hear the rest of the guys behind him, they were sort of telling him what to say.
"Hi Haylee, we were wondering if... you guys would... like to do something today... with us?" "Uh, sure, yea, just hold on a second." I told the rest of the girls and they each said different things. "Let's go to the arcade!" "No, we should go to the diner!" "Or the park!" Alice silenced them all "GUYS! Why don't they just come here?" I was the only one who didn't think it was such a good idea. "If Elle and George come home, and the guys are here, they're gonna think that they slept over." We were all silent. There was a faint "hello?" from the phone. I quickly picked it up and ran into the kitchen. "Yea, sorry. Sure, we'd love to. So, what do you wanna do?" Then it was their turn to talk. We waited for a couple minutes before Charles took the phone and talked to me while they discussed. "Hey. What's up. Hey, I remember last night Kristen, and Jenny saying something about being home by 7... Are they still there?" I could tell he was trying yo get rid of them, but it was true. Their moms wanted them both home by 7. So I reminded them, and they were disappointed, but since they're neighbors, they started packing up their stuff, and saying goodbye. They were gone in 5 minutes. I told Charles this and I heard him say "Just Haylee, Alice and Becca!" Then Joe took the phone "Hey, can we all go to the park today? We can take Laika and Lucy. Oh, Lucy's my dog." "Okay. Meet you guys there in 20?" "Yea, sure"
I told Alice and Becca, and they were pretty exited. We all washed our hair (in the kitchen and bathroom sinks) and got dressed. I fed Laika, and brushed her. By the time I got the leash on her, it was time to go.
I had no idea the park was only 5 minutes away from my house- without any shortcuts. When we got there, the guy were there, with Lucy. She barked when she saw us, but when we walked over, she took one look at Laika and laid down, silent. The guys looked at each other, eyes wide. Alice faked a cough, and their attention was back on us.
