Hi, I'm Alexandria..Please don't call me that. I go by Alex. I'm 16, I'm a dancer I have been for a while. I'll summarize the back story of our parents. Basically, We (Me and my brother Seth...) we're left on someone's doorstep. Lucky for us, the people were wanting children, but couldn't have any, and they were super rich. The husband was a famous doctor. So we got anything we wanted and went to private school for a while. My brother Seth Graduated from a famous college and was about to become a graphic desighner. When, we found out we were adopted. We weren't mad, But we didn't feel right living with our 'parents' so Were moving to California to..I guess start over. Not that our lives weren't meaningful. I loved my parents, so did Seth. But, We just want to you know, fend for ourselves I guess? When we told our 'parents' we were leaving they weren't mad, but they were very sad, But they knew we would be okay. But, Being the loving parents they were, They have us some money to help us get started. 

-Getting to California- 

"Alex...Alex...Alexandria!!" Seth's voice wakes me. 

" Huh!? What?" I say, hitting my head on the window. 

"We're almost there. But, we're gonna pass your school you'll be going to....Um there." Seth points out my window. 

I look at the large building, Too fancy. I see the expensive cars parched out front. It's probably filled with snotty rich kids. I know what you're thinking, I'll fit right in. Probably true, But I won't make any friends. I'm kind of a loner. I probably freak people out with my blue hair.Nobody really talks to me...Not that I care, I like to be by myself. I can Read, Write, Draw, Paint, And I dance. In my dance classes there are usually other girls there, It's just we don't talk. I take Lyrical and Acro. It's fun...Off topic. We arrive at the apartment building. It's pretty nice. Looks expensive, But I know that our 'parents' have us a lot of money, Because Seth tried to give some back. Anyway, Back to the apartment. 

"Help me get our stuff from the back." Seth says, and I groan. 

"But. But. That's work!" I say, smiling. 

"It won't kill you, Alexandria." Seth laughs and I glare, He knows I hate being called that. 

"Oh, It's killing me! Owe!" I say, dramatically putting a hand over my heart. Seth rolls his eyes and we get some bags. 

"Okay, it's number 326, ahh here." Seth says, and we walk in. 

"Wow." I say, and Seth nods. "Yep." He says. 

"I call dibs on picking my room!!!" Seth yells, dropping everything, running towards the hallway. 

"No fair! I do!" I yell, and we trample over eachother in the hallway, until eventually we fall. 

We laugh our butts off, laying on the floor. Seth sits up, and pulls out a coin. 

"Here, we'll flip for first dibs." Seth smiles. 

"Okay." I say, licking my lips. 

He throws it in the air, and I say Heads...But before it lands he takes off into one of the rooms. 

"Cheater!!" I yell, giggling. Even though Seth is 22, He acts like a 5 year old. 

"I call this one!" Seth yells, and I get up going to see. 

"No, I like this one." I say, crossing my arms. 

"Fine I'll get the other one." Seth smiles even wider. What's he up to? I follow him out of the room to the other bedroom. It's a huge room! With windows and everything! 

"Hey! You tricked me! You said you wanted the other one just so I'd want it, so you could get this one!" I say, stomping my foot. 

"Aww poor Alexandria dosent get the big room." Seth says, making a pouty face. I roll my eyes and laugh at his immatureness (is that even a word?) 

"Hey, I forgot to tell you. I got a job!" Seth says, laughing. 

"How did you get a Job as we were in the car?" I say, confused. 

"Will you please just ask me what job I have?" Seth smiles. 

"Okay what job so you have?" I smile. 

"A tattoo artist! They are gonna pay me really good! Alex they love my stuff !" Seth basically yells.

 I jump up and down and hug him. "I'm so proud of you!!!" I say, smiling widely.  

"okay now what?" I say, and Seth smiles. 

"SHOPPING TIME!" Seth skips out of the room to go get his keys. 

"You're such a dork." I say, following him. 

-3 hours later- (10 p.m) 

We watch the guys unload all the furniture and we rearrange some things. We were gone for so long! We had to get Furniture, School supplies (Clothes, pencils, Books, Laptop, yes she needs a laptop.) and some more clothes, Seth wants me to be feel comfortable here...So we basically went on a shopping spree. I don't know how much money 'mom and dad'  gave him but wow. We spent a ton and I think his wallet is still full. 

"Hey, they're gonna be a little while, do you wanna go get some food?" Seth asks me. 

"I'm gonna wait here, I'm kinda tired. I'll text you if I need anything." I say, and he nods. 

"I'm getting Zaxbys." He says and I smile widely. It's a hot wings place. "I want a giant drink of dr. Pepper!" I say, and he laughs, then closes the door leaving. 

"Okay, Mrs.Pierce. We're finished, please sign here." One of the men says, holding out a clipboard. I sign and they leave and I start putting some decorations up. (Paintings, Pictures, Posters, etc.)
I smile. Okay done! I say aloud. 

And my room, Which I dismally talked Seth into letting me have the master bedroom, My room looks awesome!

I get dressed into a big sweatshirt that says "I'm sorry for what I said when I was hungry." I smile, and put on some dance shorts. (If you don't know what those are they're like boy shorts but black, And a bit longer. And tighter.) 

I go the kitchen, and find nothing but a bowl of fruit. I grab an apple. I go to my room, and set up my new laptop. I go to the schools site, It's a regular school, But there is a lot of rich kids in it. Since it's already September, I'm gonna go ahead and get my schedule together. I silently eat my apple and look around the site. It's too quiet. I smile at my idea. I get up, and put on some loud music. 

"I shake it off! I shake it offff!" I sing along. I made it so loud I barely hear Seth knocking on the door. I turn the music off and answer the door. 

"Wow, it looks Nice in here!" Seth says, putting the food on the counter. He goes to look at all the rooms, and I stay in the kitchen looking for my food. I get mine and go to the livingroom switching the tv on. 

"My room is so tiny!! Then you see yours and it's like BAM! Huge!" Seth says from the other room. 

I smile and continue flipping through the channels until I find spongebob. I smile and start eating. 

Seth comes in, and sits next to me, And we eat, watching spongebob. 

After erg we finish I throw my celery away, and go back to sit down, pulling my knees up to my chest. 

"So my baby sister staring her Junior year! Can't wait to hear all about your boyyyfffrrieeennndssss!!!" Seth teases, laughing. 

"No! I won't have any boyfriends!" I say, punching hid shoulder playfully. 

"Just you wait." Seth smiles, and turns back to the tv. 

Nobody will wanna be my friend, much less my boyfriend...Right?
