Alex was currently sitting in his new room. It was a little smaller than his last one, but it was comfortable. It had navy blue walls along with a twin sized bed and a desk. He had brought nothing to decorate it with. Even his room back at his house was not decorated, with exception of a few soccer posters that Jack had gotten him for last Christmas. He felt kind of bad for Isabella, he could tell that she definitely did not like their new living arrangement. I mean it was pretty obvious, she stormed off after he said that the stairs he fell down were wooden...

He had gotten done unpacking about a half an hour ago. He felt like he shouldn't leave his room, so he was trying to figure out the math problems that Tom had brought to him last night. He was tempted to just go to bed, I mean it was already seven in the evening and he was behind on about twenty-four hours of sleep. He had not had anything to eat yet and hoped that they would not have to eat dinner as a family. He had actually never done that before. When it was just him, Ian, and Jack they usually never had time to do that. Ian was usually gone all the time or too busy to eat dinner with him and Jack. And whenever he was at Tom's house his parents were always to busy fighting to eat dinner together.

He was washed out of his thoughts as Mrs. Wilkens called, "DINNER IS READY!" from downstairs.

Alex mentally sighed and went down the stairs where Isabella and Mrs/Mr Wilkens were seated. He sat down at the empty seat and sat their awkwardly waiting for someone to speak.

Isabella was sending evil glares at Alex, not knowing that he was mentally laughing his head off thinking they were the worst glares of all times. How did he get down here without her hearing? He was so weird and mysterious. Maybe she could find out his secrets while he was here? Then she realized that she would actually have to talk to him to find these out. She was dreading after diner when she would have to threaten him with his life to not tell ANYBODY about their new living arrangements.

Her thoughts were interrupted when her dad started to speak, "Hello, Alex it is nice to meet you"

Alex simply responded by, "It is nice to meet you also"

"I just want you to know that you are going to be part of out family now until you leave this summer."

Way to state the obvious, Alex thought.

"So, we are going to treat you like it. We need to lay down some ground rules. You are to come straight home from school after any practices, unless you tell us otherwise. There are to be no drugs or alcohol in this house hold and you are to do your homework and stay out of trouble, Understood?"

"Yes, sir." Alex said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

He really wondered what Isabella had told her parents about him.

Dinner went on rather awkwardly. Nobody was really talking and you could feel the tenseness in the air.

Alex was really glad when it was finally over and to everyone's surprise he started helping with the dishes. Shortly after he went to his room and started to get ready for bed. He heard a soft knock on his door and replied, "come in."

To his surprise it was Isabella.

"We need to talk, you better not tell anybody about this" She said stressing her words while pointing from him to her. "Not even your little Tom friend."

"I wasn't planning on it anyways" murmured Alex.

"Good"

And with that she quickly walked out.

Authors Note: Hope you liked! How do you think their secret should be revealed? Maybe Alex tells Tom and somebody overhears? Also it keeps disabling private messaging and alerts on my account does anybody know why? Anyways Please REVIEW!
