Alexis P.O.V
I wake up from my warm soft bed, sun shining threw my window onto my face. I get up and go to my dresser. I look horrible I think to myself. I grab my makeup bag and put some concealer, foundation and some mascara on. I looked in the mirror again, that's better I think. Just then my older brother Toby walks in " ever heard of knocking?"
Yes I have but I didn't feel like it" he says. I grab a stuffed bear off my bed and throw it at his shoulder. He took his hand and held it over his shoulder and looked at me with his best ' in pain face' he smiles and laughs at me and closes the door. What an idiot I think to myself and laugh.
I go over to the side of my bed and picked up the bag I had packed the night before. I was going to my boyfriend brads house and I had to look my best. He was having a party tonight down by the lake. I go through the bag to make sure I had picked out my best and hottest clothes for this party. It was very important to look my best because the cheerleaders were going to be there and I had to make sure I looked better or just as good as them. I go through the bag and take out a pair of Jean booty shorts and a white crop top. I put them together and look at them for a second. And decide, there perfect!
I go to my closet to look for a pair of shoes. And I choose my white high top converse that my father Thomas bought me for my 16th birthday. I take the outfit and put it back In the bag and exit my bedroom.
I walk down the stairs. And stand at the bottom " what's all this?" I say as I look at the breakfast table. The table is filled with pancakes, bagels. And orange juice. " I made breakfast for us, mom and dad aren't here. There at work
" oh well thank you tob"
your welcome Alex" he says with a grin. "My name is Alexis, Tobias." He looks at me and we both laugh. 'Honk honk' "oh there's brad! I got to go see ya tomorrow."
Yeah have fun and be careful!" Toby yells. I run out the door and hop into brads car and we start down the street. The lake is only a few blocks from here and I'm filled with excitement.
Toby's P.O.V
I come out of my bedroom and Into the hall and stretch. I hear noises coming from Alexis room. I walk over to her door and open it. "Have you ever heard of knocking? She asks me.
" yes I have but I didn't feel like it" I reply she reaches over for a bear on her bed and she chucks it at my shoulder. I look at her with the best 'in pain face' I could make, I smile and laugh at her and I leave her room.
I walk down the stairs into the kitchen. I decide to make pancakes for us since our parents are not home. I make pancakes some bagels and pour some orange juice in two glasses and arrange it on the table. I hear Alexis walk down the stairs
"whats all this? She says as she scans the kitchen table.
" I made breakfast for us. Mom and dad aren't here, there at work"
oh well thank you tob." She says in reply.
" your welcome Alex." I say with a grin
" my name is Alexis, Tobias." I look at her and we both laugh 'honk honk'
" oh there's brad! I got to go, see ya tomorrow "Alexis yells in excitement. She runs out the door "yeah have fun and be careful." I yell back at her.
I watch her hop in the car and start down the street. I don't like Brad and I think she could do much better then that asshole. But I respect her decisions. I yawn and start back up the stairs and go back to bed.
