~These next two post should hold you all for a week.I'm going to think about the story for a little bit and brainstorm some ideas.I'll be back with a new bit by next monday or tuesday.Hope you like these next two portions!~
PART 1 : Alex
Alex and his mom drove down the street the school was located on.Alex sat slumped in his seat staring out the window while his mom lip sung to songs from the oldies station.Alex usually hated when his mom put it on that station but right now he had alot on his mind.The basketball game,the school dance,the mysterious phone number.All these things made Alex's mind grow weary.He knew this wasnt good seeing as how he had a big game in two days( thursday) and he needed to concentrate on his three point shot.Alot of people were expecting alot out of him and he didnt want to dissapoint any of them.He had a big responsibility being the team captain and alot of kids looked up to him and he couldnt let them down.
There was also the big dance on Friday.Alex was planning on taking Alexis but he wasnt to excited.He hated going to dances but Alexis really wanted to go so Alex decided not to dissapoint her and force himself to go and enjoy himself.The cost was also ten dollars per person and Alex of course had to pay for both of them.Alex hadnt even picked out what he was going to wear.He was probably going have his mom get him a new suit.He told Alexis he was thinking about going with a white and black striped tie with converse all-stars to give a funkier look and decided to go with it.
Then there was the mysterious number Alex had yet to call.The number more than anything was him driving nuts.At one point he even got mad when he thought about someone writing him a note knowing he was in a relationship but he forced himself to stay calm and not pay too much attention to it.When he got hom he would just call the person and say it couldnt work out.
By now Alex had arrived on his sunny,calm street.He sat himself up and saw some neighbors out mowing their lawns and watering their beautiful plants and flowers.Most of them where senior citizens who wore bright gardening outfits with no stains on them whatsoever.Alex geussed that they washed them everytime they sneezed in its direction.They had to always look good when being in public.Most of them had a reputation to keep up with and couldnt be considered as messy and dirty in the publics eye.Alex lived in the center of the suburbs where on one street you could find up to five three story house one of which had a swimming pool bigger that an average persons house.He saw people BMW's and foreign cars in the driveway.This disgusted him.No one needs a 500,000 dollar car.They should be spending it on something useful like charities for cancer or hurricane relief, Alex thought to himself.With all the stuff that's going on in the world they choose to spend thousands of dollars on gas-hogs.
Alex reached his house and went back to the reality that he wasnt much different than his neighbors.His house was two storys high with a big attic they used as a game room,a swimming pool,and enough rooms to hold three of their families.Alex got out of the car to find his dad polishing his 2005 Mitsubishi.
"Hey son!" his dad called out as he stepped back from polishing his baby.He looked to his wife "Hi sweety" he walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheeks.They stood there for a few moments kissing.Alex rolled his eyes.He walked over to the front door and walked into his house.He saw his sister sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Dont you ever do your homework?" he called out."You know mom and dad spend good money sending you to that fancy college."
"Beat it twirp!" his sister snapped back.
Alex walked up to his room without replying to his sisters comment.Right now the only thing he was interested in was calling the person who wrote him the note and telling them they had no future together.He walked up the steps to the second floor and walked into his room.He grabbed the phone and sat on his bed.He stared around his room.He was again reminded of his life and how he shouldnt think bad about the other people on his block.He stared up at his lcd flat panel screen that hung on his wall followed by a surround sound system that was set up around his room.He had a pretty big room that gave him alot of walking space and room.There was a big platform in his room that had his desk with his computer on it and his stereo.He had a walk in closet that contained alot of shoes and cloths but for the most part was half empty.He also had a small bathroom that was inside his closet.
He snapped out of his thought and dug into his backpack in search of his geometry book.Might as well get this over with now,he thought.He didnt think anything of it at first but after he couldn't find his geometry book for awhile he started to get worried.He dug into his backpack searching through all the books hoping to find it in there somewhere.He then opened his backpack all the way and threw his books on the ground.He shuffled through all his books but he couldnt find the one he was searching for.He couldnt find his geometry book!
PART 2 : Alexis
Alexis sat waiting about five minutes after Alex left until her mom came.He mom pulled up in a big, black suburban.She smiled at Alexis through the window.Alexis smiled back as she opened the door and sat inside.Her mom was tall,caucasion,had short blonde hair,and hazel eyes.She was skinny but not to the point where her bones showed and she always had a bright smile on and a cheerful attitude.The great thing was is that that was not a show she put on.That was her real personality and Alexis looked up to her for that.
"How was your day?" her mom Jannet asked as she took off her sunglasses and placed them of the dashboard.
"It was good" Alexis said giving her a warm smile.She closed her door as her mom started the car and began driving home.
"Excited about the dance Friday?" her mom asked.
"Yeah.That dress you got me is going to look great" Alexis said ethusiastically.
"Whats Alex wearing"
"I think he's wearing a suit with a black and white striped tie and his All-Stars " Alexis said giggiling
"Oh God" her mom said sarcastically.
"He'll pull it off.He always does" Alexis reassured her mom."Hey, do you mind if he comes over for dinner tommorow?
"Sure,do you know what his favorite dish is?Maybe I could make it for him." her mom asked.
"As a matter a fact I do" Alexis said smiling. "Its Tri-Tip with mash potatoes and garlic bread.He told me when we went to Sizzler last Friday."
Her mom laughed. "I can make that.Tell him to come hungry."
"I will"
Alexis sat back in her seat as her mom put on some music.She listen to the new tunes from the hot radio station.She didnt sing along or try to dance to them though.Her mind was on why Alex was so distant in geometry class today.She came to the conclusion that he was probaly just tired from having just woken up even though that was unlike him.He was usually a morning person and was very bright and active in the morning.Alexis didn't dwell on the thought anymore but closed her eyes as she listed to the tunes.
After a few minutes they arrived at their neighborhood.Alexis' neighborhood and house wasnt much different than Alex's.She lived on a street where everybody knew everybody and in the daytime you could see people washing their cars,watering their gardens,or walking their dogs.It was a very happy and bright place to grow up.Unlike Alex she liked her neighborhood and liked the people.Even though most of them would seem like snobs to some people she found them rather nice and always cheerful when she was around them.
They finally arrived at their house and parked in the driveway.Alexis got out of the car and carried her backpack to the door.She lived in a simple two story house that wasnt much bigger than Alex's house.She had a small,intimate swimming pool and Jacuzzi that her and Alex sometimes sat in when her parents where away,and a attice that they used a office for her dads construction business he ran.The rest off the house was very homy but also luxurious.Her mom was very good at keeping the house modern and with the times.They had a mini gym on the first floor that Alexis used to improve her stamina for the cheer competitions and simple basketball game cheers.She walked into the house and found her small yorkie running up to her.She dropped her backpack and picked him up as he jumped at her.She played with him for a few seconds and then put him down.He ran to the other room to play with his toys.Alexis picked up her backpack and walked up to her room.Alexis had a big room to herself seeing as how she was a only child.It was fun being an only child because she didnt have alot of pesty brothers or little sisters and her parents where able to pay alot of attention to her.She loved both her parents who where and have always been very understanding and loving.Her dad was really cool and sweet and her mom was her bestfriend,even more so than Alex.She reached her room on the second floor and walked in.The shades where pull open letting in alot of light to her already bright room.It was decorated in a funky,pink fashion with alot of stuffed animals and drawings she drew,on the wall.She walked to her closet and picked out some evening cloths to wear.She was planning on taking a show but decided to call Alex first.She jumped on her bed and laid down.The she dialed Alex's number.It rang for a few Moments and then Alex picked up.
"Hello?"Alex asked.
"Hey it's me" Alexis said.
"Oh-uh-hey" Alex said sound fustrating and busy.
Alexis frowned "What are you doing?"
"Just looking for my geometry book.I cant find it anywhere.I think it may have been stolen" Alex said sounding concerned.
Alexis' frown turned into a guilty look "Uh-I-kind of borrowed it"
"What!" Alex's said not realizing he shouted."I mean-uh-why?"
"I need to work on my assignments and I didn't think you needed it.Im sorry.I should've asked."
You got that right Alex said.He sat on his floor leaning against his bed with a worried look on his face.What am I gonna do?,he thought.If she finds the note and realizes I didnt tell her about it then she'll think I was actually thinking of pursuing it.This cannot be happening!
Update: I just got finished writing down summarys for the next 10 or so pieces 😱 !
I release three of them starting Monday and then release a piece a day for two days after.
So next week,starting Monday, you can expect three pieces.If I get fiesty I might just throw in anothern 😄.It depends on how well you like the next three. If you dont I just may go back to the drawing board 😬
~Well here's the long awaited next installment 😄. Enjoy!~
PART 8
Alex was an emotional wreck for the next part of the day. All he could think about was his fate with Alexis and how it was not in his hands. He tried to work on his 3-point shot for Thursdays big basketball game but he found himself missing almost every shot. Not because he sucked, but because he had alot on his mind besides sports. He practiced for a few more minutes and then decided to call it a night as for as basketball was concerned. He went upstairs and took a shower in his bathroom. He stood there letting the hot water poor down on him. He really wanted to call the number and see who it was but he didnt remember it. He felt so stupid. He had been thinking about the number the whole day and he hadn't even memorized it. How hard could it have been to memorize a simple seven digit number ? Obviously too hard for Alex since he only remembered the first three numbers, 454.
He got out of the shower and went downstairs where his mom had prepared dinner. He saw his dad already sitting down waiting to be served. His sister still sat watching tv as his mom called her to come to the table. She finally got up from the couch and sat down at the dinner table. Alex sat down as well at the opposite end from his father.
"Ham and mash potatoes! Your favorite dear." Alex's mom said.
"Ooo my favorite" Alex's dad said with a chuckle.
Alex rolled his eyes. He centered himself out from his mom and dad's conversation just like his sister. They said they where thinking of remoldeling the downstairs bathroom to give it more room. Alex thought it was big enough already but apparently his parents had to find another way to be better than everyone else. Dont get him wrong, Alex didnt hate his parents he just didnt know why everything had to be so extravagent in his life. Extravagent cars, vacations, house, way of life. He didnt see a need for alot of the things they had but he didnt complain because he knew he liked most of it and he certainly liked the nice room they provided for him.
After dinner Alex's mom and dad took the dishes to the kitchen and started washing them together. His sister went to the family room to continue watching tv. Alex was about to retire to his room for the night but he had to ask his mom when they where going to get a new suit for the dance. He walked over to the kitchen but when he got to the door he could hear his parents talking about something in a low voice.
"How old is he?" he heard his dad ask.
"15. Same age as Alex" his mom replied.
"I dont know. Seems like a big responsibility." his dad replied.
"Well lets just give it some time.We'll meet with him next Monday and then you can tell me what you think."
Without realizing it Alex had pressed his body against swinging door that allowed it to open.Too late to go back.His parents already saw his face. He walked in and asked his mom when they where going shopping. She said they would go on Wednesday which was two days from then. Alex said ok and excused himself from the room. When he got outside he tried to eavesdrop again but he found that his parents had went back to talking about the remodeling.
What where they talking about? , Alex thought. What kid? What responsibility?
Alex soon laid the thought to rest and then went to bed.
PART 9
Alex got up the next morning and sat up in his bed. He glanced over at the alarm clock and saw it was and hour and a half from the start of school. He had to get up and get dressed. He got up and put on some faded jeans with a red un-buttoned red shirt that revealed a white t-shirt. He topped it off with a pair of Converse All-Stars, did his hair, and was ready to go.
He went downstairs to see his mom sitting on the couch,sipping coffee,and reading the paper as she waited for Alex.
"Ready to go honey?" his mom asked.
"Yeah.Lets go" Alex said with a little bit of anxiousness in his voice.He was eager to get to the school,retrieve his geometry book and hopefully find the number in there,un-touched.
They left and minutes later Alex had arrived at school.He said goodbye to his mom and raced to the front steps on the building.He made haste as he walked to geometry class.Not because he was late, but because he didn't want to be kept in suspense any longer.
He reached the classroom and found that none of his friends had arrived yet. He walked in and got a seat on the back row. He got out his notebook and waited for Alexis to show up.
After about 10 minutes of nervous waiting, Alex saw Alexis walk through the door.
"Hey!" he yelled at her from across the room.Signaling he had a spot saved for her.
"Hey!" she called back as she made her way up the steps to the back row. She took the seat Alex had saved her and sat down.
"Hey um...do you have the-uh..." Alex asked nervously but Alexis cut him off.
"Sure do.Sorry about taking it without asking you.It was stupid,I know."
"Dont worry about it" Alex said grabbing the book with more force than he expected.Alexis jumped in suprise."Sorry" Alex said seeing her jump.He casually opened the book as Alexis retrieved her own book from the teachers desk. Alex flipped through the pages and found the note there.In the exact same place he had lefted it.
Alexis came back with her book.
"Everything ok?" she asked sensing Alex's past jumpiness.
"Everythings great" Alex said with a smile.
PART 10
The rest of the day pasted by very quickly.Geometry had went smoothly and so had the rest of the periods. Alex didn't feel that Alexis had suspected a thing.She acted normal and didn't hint a thing. Alexis was good at hiding things though so Josh hadn't quite made up his mind yet on whether or not she was just putting on a show.
He also had a conversation with Michael ,and Michael said he was going to ask Amanda out after the pep rally on Wednesday.
Alex and Alexis where alone as they walked towards the front of the school to where their parents where probably already waiting for them.
"So are we still on for tonight?" Alexis asked.
"Yeah yeah.I'm looking forward to it"
"My mom's making your favorite"
"Tri-tip, mash potatoes,and bread? Sweet." Alex replied.
By now they had already made it to the front where they saw their parents already waiting for them.Alex kissed Alexis good-bye and ran to his dad's Porsche. He got in and buckled up.
His dad started the car and began the way home.
"So how was your day?" his dad asked.
Because I didnt get caught? GREAT! ,which is what Alex felt like saying but all he said was, "It was ok."
"Anxious for the big game on Thursday?"
"Yeah,im totally phsyced" Alex replied.
"Well your gonna do great.I know it. And guess what?"
Alex looked at his dad.
"Im gonna be there to see it" his dad exclaimed.
"Really?" Alex asked.
"Yeah,I cancelled a meeting and everything"
"Cool" Alex replied.
"Yeah, I'm going to see you and the team beat those Arstoridians!"
Alex chuckled and they continued to talk about the team and the game.
A few minutes later they reached the house.Alex got out really fast and ran to the door.He tried opening it but it was locked. He rang the doorbell knowing that his sister was probaly sitting on the couch watching tv or talking on the phone.He then start baning slightly on the door and after a few moments his sister answered the door.
"Jeez.Cant you wait for like two seconds?!" his sister screeched.
"No" Alex said as he hurried up to his room.He reached the top of the stairs and walked into his room.He dropped his backpack to the floor and got his geometry book out.He flipped through the pages and recovered the number.He picked up the phone and stared at it.
"This is it" he said to himself.
