A Tale of Two Hearts

Chap 1

Alexis' POV

I woke up on July sixteenth at seven in the morning. I showered and got dressed in a black skater skirt, a galaxy top, and black high top wedges. I walked into the kitchen and drank some orange juice. "Hey Dad," I sighed. "My friend Adam is coming over and he's going to take me to get my hair, makeup, and nails done for the party. Is that okay?"

"Yeah," Dad nodded. "Be home by five, so you can get your dress on." I looked at Dad and sighed. "Don't do that. You're the only who wanted a big party. We need to be at the convention center by six."

"Okay, my hair appointment is at noon, so that's going to take a good three to four hours to do," I added. "I'm getting my hair dyed black and then a small part of the bottom layer bleached." I looked at my hair. "It's how I want my hair. I'm trying to do what I want with it before I get into the FBI because I can only have one solid hair color."

"Do what you want," Dad put his hands up in surrender. "It's your party but I do want you to qualify for the FBI."

There was a knock on the door. "That's Adam," I sighed. I opened the door and let Adam in. "I have to grab my phone and then we can go, okay?"

"Okay," Adam smiled and his accent is adorable. "I would've been here thirty minutes ago but they kept asking me if I was sure I wanted to rent the car."

"If you would've called me, I could've gone and picked you, Sam, and Johan up," I smiled. "We are still taking my car anyways. Have Johan take the car back. Dad, can you go with Johan and Sam so you can drop them off at Wal-Mart on Rogers after because I'm going to go and get my nails done first?"

"Yeah," Dad sighed. "Let me grab a shirt."

"I have to grab my phone so I'll be right back," I smiled. I grabbed my phone and keys from my room and walked outside. I saw that they rented a Volvo. "Johan picked the car, didn't he?"

"Yes," Adam sighed. Johan and Sam got out of the car. "We didn't have to rent a car."

"We spent thirty minutes looking for the car," Johan's facial expression saddened. "How are we going to go to the party and get around?"

"Well, I do have a car," I said as I pointed at the black Camaro. "My dad will go with you guys to take the car back and he'll drop you off at Wal-Mart because that's where I'm getting my nails done."

"Okay," Dad said closing the back door.

"Adam's coming with me," I smiled. Adam moved the suitcases to the trunk of my car. "That works too." Adam and I got into my car and I started driving. "So, what songs are you going to sing tonight?"

"Sam, Johan, and I have like two cover songs we want to sing and then I have an original solo song I want to sing," Adam smiled. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah," I smiled. "That's fine." We got to Wal-Mart and Adam followed me to the nail salon. "Hi. I'm here for my appointment."

"Alexis at eight?" the lady asked.

"That's me," I smiled. She let me sit down. "Okay. I want tips. This is the dress I'm wearing for the party." I showed the lady my dress. "Can we do something like that?"

"How about silver glitter tips and a small purple bow on the ring finger?" asked the lady. "And then a purple strip underlining the silver glitter on the other fingers?"

"Just do what you can," I smiled. The lady started doing my nails and Adam sat on the chair next to me. "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah," Adam smiled. "Isn't your birthday tomorrow?"
