Lost Connection

Chapter 3

One week. It's been one week since I've been here, in this h*** hole of a town. And they won't let us leave, they got 20 foot electric fences surrounding the place, and guards 24/7. Amber and I have formed a great friendship though, we're getting new comers everyday, and in 2 days, we're going to get a new roommate. Her name is Darcy Simmons, she's about 17 from what we've heard. It's Saturday, Sunday is church day, even if your not religious, you have to go, I'm catholic, so I'm fine. The church is about a mile away from city hall, it's a very big wood building, and everything inside is just so elegant.

I just return home from the taylors' about getting my sneakers fixed, he also gave me a new pair just incase. Good thing about this town is that everything is free. Amber is out greeting new comers in exception for her multiple absences at classes, she always told me she went though, I decided to start driving her. I finished the science project with Mathew and punched Xavier in the face after he tried to dance with me at the party. The party!! Oh crap, that was last night, I was supposed to help Alex with his homework for special weaponry. He got chosen daggers like I wanted, and I got chosen the cross bow. He says I'm pretty good so he wanted my help. I rushed over to the wall phone and had received 2 messages. It was Alex, he said in the first message,"hey Logan, it's Alex just called to see if the practice was still on. Call me when you get a chance." The second one read,"hey Logan, it's Alex again, just called to say I'm calling it off, your an hour late. Bye." Then I mentally kick myself in the shin. All Alex has done is help me this whole week and I just let him down the second I get to help him out. "No no no no no no no no no no no!" And I go to call him back. He picks up and doesn't even have time to say hello before I start to ramble on,"Alex I'm so sorry! I totally forgot and had to get my sole on my sneakers fixed. I know it's 4:00 but we can practice until 7:00, really Alex-" and he cuts me off. "It's fine Logan, I have to finish my science project that's due Monday though. Next Saturday?" "Yeah, next Saturday I guess." I say glumly. "Well, see you at class then." And he hangs up.

Amber burst through the door and starts to run up to her room crying, then Xavier comes to follow but notices and winks at me then gets back to following Amber up the stairs. My face is screwed like its just been hit by a tornado. I hear the door to Ambers room slam and heard some yelling. I grab a cup then run up the stairs and put the glass to the door. "I HATE YOU XAVIER. I TRIED TO LOVE YOU AND BE A GOOD GIRLFRIEND BUT ALL YOU WANT IS-" Ow, I can do without the cup, I thought to myself. "AMBER YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT IT. YOU DON'T OWN ME, I CAN LOOK AT OTHER GIRLS ANY WAY I WANT" Xavier yelled. "Their a couple?" I mumble to myself and Amber yells, "WELL NOW YOU CAN'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY, GET OUT!" I stumble to pick up the cup when the door swing open and I fall to the floor. Ambers on the floor crying when Xavier notices me, he bends down and clashes his lips to mine. I try to pull away but he has a strong grip. When he lets go we're panting and he turns to Amber and says,"how's that babe?" And walks off. I run to Amber but she smacks me causing me to retreat. "How could you?" She says. "I didn't kiss him back, he held me there!" But she gets up and pushes me out and locks the door.

I decided to spend the night at Alex's place. It's not different from mine, just designed with trash. His roommate is a very attractive boy named Taylor. He spends most of his time in his room doing who knows what. I spend the night on the couch, and Alex and I watch a Rangers game. It was uncomfortable. Especially when Alex came down sleepwalking and started peeing in the oven. I ran out of the house screaming and slipped in mud from the raining. Then Taylor ran out, then Alex trying to get his pants up. "Gosh Logan what happened to you!" Taylor says. All I can say is,"Alex, you need to control sleep walking, and peeing in the oven." Taylor cracks up laughing and falls into the mud and Alex says,"ohhhhhhhhhh..." And walks back inside.
