Alexa sighed staring out the window, waiting for something or anything to happen. Her head laid on her arms that were crossed on the couch. The big window showed a scenery of the water and the sun setting. Her phone buzzed indicating that one of her friends had texted her.

It was JJ.

He had sent her a picture of  him, John B and Pope surfing, we miss you it read. Needless to say she was jealous. Instead of surfing with her best friends, she was stuck at a dinner party with people she didn't know and didn't like.

She had been living with her dad a few weeks since her mom died, and he was on his way to making sure his public image was still intact. He didn't want people to question where this daughter had been the past 10 years.

"Alexandra I'd like for you to meet someone " his voice sternly called out, pulling her out of her thoughts. She could tell it was the fake voice he used when in public.

"Do I hav-"

"Please Alexandra. Now."

Alexa let out a a soft groan, throwing her head back. Nonetheless she stood up brushing down her long navy blue dress before following her dad.

Her heels clicked softly as she walked down the hall. Standing in front of her at the end was a family she was slightly familiar with.

That's when she saw him. Her eyes fixated on the older boys gaze. He seemed to be studying her too.

"Cameron, this is my daughter Alexandra." Her dad's voice caused her to tear her eyes away.

Alexandra smiled, she had seen Sarah Cameron before. More specifically she had seen her hanging out with Kiara the way she used to.

"Nice to meet you." Alexa put her hand out and greeted the older man and blonde woman.

"I'm Sarah, I think we'll be going to school together." The pretty blonde smiled, Alexa curtly nodded and smiled back. She wanted to like Saran, the nice girl everyone loved. But she had stolen Kie, how could she.

"I'm Wheezie, your dress is so pretty. You need to show me your closet." Wheezie exclaimed with excitement.

Alexa giggled softly while nodding.

"Geez you're gonna scare her wheeze." a deeper voice said beside her.

Alexa met the gray eyes that belong to the blonde boy with an amazing jawline. She felt herself blush at the fact that he was addressing her.

He studied her soft features, the red of her cheek, her soft long curls, and how perfectly the gold jewelry complimented her olive skin. He admired her sparkling eyes and her beautiful smile.

"I'm Rafe." He put his hand out

"Uhm I'm Alexandra" She shook his hand.

Her body heated up at the contact. She quickly pulled her hand back and cleared her throat.

Rafe didn't seem like most of the boys that were desperate to get her number. He seemed mature and he was so muscular, she found him in a way comforting.
