Chapter 11

For about twenty minutes Ace and Lexi walked and talked all throughout the village. Ace telling Lexi all the positives of living on the street and Lexi telling Ace of all the negatives of being royalty.

Lexi: I only have one person I could go to when I really need to. Carolina. She's like my mother.

Ace: What happened to your mother?

Lexi: She died when I was two. What about you?

Ace: Both of my parents died when I was really young.

Lexi: I'm so sorry. Who takes care of you?

Ace: I take care of myself.

Lexi was shocked. She may have been surrounded by too many her entire life, but at least there where people who took care of her and looked after her.

Lexi: Really?

Ace: Yeah. I look after myself and my three friends. Well two friends and annoyance.

They both slightly giggled.

Ace: I don't mind though. We've been friends since we were little.

Lexi: You mean all of you are, um, you know,

Ace: Yeah. Orphans. Come meet them.

Ace took Lexis hand lightly and pulled her to a small fire in a little field. Duck, Tech and Rev were sitting around. Lexis heart broke at the sight. She lived in a huge palace having people wait on her hand and foot and here there were people huddled round a fireplace for warmth.

Ace: Guy's, come over here and meet my new fried Lexi.

Lexi: Hi.

Duck took Ace over to side.

Duck: Is this the girl you've been drooling over?

Ace: Yeah.

Duck: That means she's the-

Ace: Duck, you do not tell anyone about this.

Duck: I wasn't. I was gonna yell at her because we get to live like rats and she get people to be treated like royalty.

Ace: First off she is royalty. And second I wanna see her again. She already feels guilt about living there you are not gonna mess this up for me!

Tech and Rev on the other hand actually liked Lexi. They thought she was a nice girl.

After a while, it was getting late and Lexi decided that she had to go home and Ace walked with her.

Lexi: Your friends are really nice. Even Duck.

Ace: Yeah.

Lexi: My fathers throwing me a ball for my birthday tomorrow would you like to come?

Ace: Yeah but-

Lexi: Leave it to me.

They got to the little bush where the little hole was.

Lexi: Just meet me here tomorrow at seven.

Ace helped Lexi get through the hole and right before she went all the way through, she gave Ace a little kiss on his cheek.
