Lex's POV

Three days into winter break. So far, we have half buried Dave's Porsche in snow, accidentally bombarded Paige's face with snowballs, and we've just called Dominos for fifty pizzas. You know, for a 'huge house party at the Caro residence!' I don't really know why I'm doing this. I'm not really a horrible person. Just, you know… I hate Dave and his wife-ditching ass and Paige and her fake-as-hell Botox and surgery.

The doorbell rings just on cue.

"Can you get that, Alex?" Paige calls from the kitchen.

"I'm tired!"

Footsteps from the basement means that Dave is getting it. Drake and I watch from the stairs, exchanging smirks.

Dave opens the door to a flustered-looking pizza delivery guy. "Er… Dave Caro? We've got thirty pizzas here for you so far. The other twenty are coming in the second car and should arrive in five minutes or so."

"What? Fifty pizzas?" Dave laughs. "Are you sure you've got the right place?"

"Yeah, Dave Caro, right? You're throwing a house party?"

Dave stares at the delivery man in bewilderment. "No—"

"Yeah, party's upstairs!" Drake shouts and waves.

The delivery guy starts lugging bags upstairs. Dave narrows his eyes and dashes up to us. "You ordered fifty pizzas? On my account?"

"Yeah. You shouldn't leave your credit card lying around. But I figured, we're family so whatever, right?" I smile innocently. His face is turning red again.

"Okay, what are we going to do with this?"

Drake shrugs. "Whatever you want, boss."

Dave growls, "Well I can't make you eat what you won't eat like any other parent would. So you two are going to hand this pizza out to the neighbors. Do not come back until you are done."

We end up 'delivering' to three houses and then bribing the pizza man to do the rest for us. Paige calls me at about 9 after we've lounged around for two hours, pretending to be delivering.

"Alex, what would you and Drake like for dinner tonight?"

"I dunno, like—"

Drake grabs the phone and shouts into it, "HELLO, MISSUS CARO? I THINK I'M IN THE MOOD FOR, LIKE, PIZZA?"

Hmn... any ideas for what happens after this? Summer is making me sluggish...
