    Alexis was informed of what happened the other day after she went home by Marissa and was on her way from the coffee shop to Marissa's house just to hang out with her and Summer.The girl dug inside her purse looking for her wallet, not paying attention to the road.

Someone grabbed her arms pulling her back a few seconds before she could have collided with a blue car.She turned to see a darksin boy whose frame towered over her.The two of the them made eye contact for a little while.

The boy broke it first, clearing his throat and letting  go of her arms scratching the back of his head"Um you dropped this."He picked up her wallet from the floor and handed it towards her.

"Oh thank God, I thought I lost it.Thank you for finding it and saving me from a trip tot the hospital."She sighed collecting it"I'm Alexis"

The boy smiled at her"Carter,nice to meet you." The girl mimicked his smile"Nice to meet you too.Um I gotta go but I'll see you around."She checked the road this time and crossed starting her journey back to her neighbourhood still thinking about the mystery boy that just saved her life.

Summer and Alexis were in Marissa's closet tops off looking at some tops they could burrow from the blonde while Marissa sat perched on her bed trying to reach look for the thousandth time.

"Has he always been a hardhead?"Alexis asked the girl beside her picking up a top and hugging it to her frame.

"Since 6th grade."Summer replied still focused on finding a blouse."Hey Mar can I try this?"Alexis asked standing next to the  door ajar.

"Hey my dad's home you know?"Marissa reminded the girls in their blue and pink bras."You say that like it's a bad thing."Summer yelled from inside the girl's closet.

All three girls laughed"Ew gross Summer"Marissa yelled back to her."Your dad's always home this days what's up with that?"Summer asked her now out of the closet wearing a top.

Marissa disregarded the question by sending another voice mail to Luke asking him to call her.The pale girl came to sit beside her friend and rubbed her arm comfortingly."Still hasn't called you back.He was in lock up maybe his into dude's now."Summer humoured from where she stood infront of the two girls.

Marissa scoffed and threw one of her pillows at her, all three girls laughing."Coop he loves you,he got into a fight and burned a house down over you.That's hot. What more do you need"Summer pointed out."Ah if Arson doesn't show love I don't know what will."Alexis added.

"How about talking to me?"The girl asked her two best friends."Mar he'll come around"Alexis  said standing up from the girls bed pulling off the top from her body."Trust me he'll get over it,he can't really think your into that Chino kid."Summer added  going back into the closet.

Marissa fell into her bed sighing and a knock was heard from the girl's door."Marissa you got company."Her dad pushed the door wider to reveal Marissa and Alexis who just stared at the two males at the door."Sorry."Her father ran back down leaving Seth at the  door wide eyed.

"Oh my God."Seth breathed out staring at the girl before a smile reached his lips."Um h-he-ey Alexis."The boy stuttered.

"Hey Seth."The girl replied walking out of door sight."What's that Seth,you said you need a ride to a Star Wars convention?"Marissa said attempting to closing the door.

Seth's mouth hang open in embarrassment"A star wars convention?I'm sorry but her top was off you could've at least said x-men or I don't know Marvel!"He whisper-yelled at the blonde girl in front of him.
