Then There Was One

Chapter 3

***SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES***

{Alex's pov}

I walked home considering my mom was at work with the car, and she didn't have enough money to pay for the bus for me. Life was totally unfair! Some people work one job and make more money than anyone, but my mom works 2 jobs and 1 part time job and we barely are living now. We had a 3 room house. A bathroom, a small kitchen and a large bedroom with a king bed. That seems big but with my mom, me, my 3 sisters and 2 twin brothers, it's not enough space. My mom sleeps on the king bed with my twin brothers Ben and Henry. On the floor of the room we have 2 mattresses. The first mattress, my 7 year old sister Lacey and 8 year old sister Lizzie sleep on. The second mattress I sleep on with my other 13 year old sister Annie. It's really crowded but we learned to deal with it. I'd rather be crowded though. Being crowded provides my mom with more money for food that feeds 7 mouths.

I reached to 4 streets away from my neighborhood. Right now I was in the neighborhood Richwood. You can tell by the name that Richwood is where all the fancy rich families live, including Lilly's. Speaking of Lilly, just then and now, Lilly came into view. She was hobbling towards her humungous mansion, probably filled with all the new technology and a fridge about to burst with so much food. How is she get all that? She doesn't even deserve it.... She's a bitch. What she does deserve is what she was getting. She was walking barefoot. Lol! Her heels broke. It was about time something bad happened to her. She well deserve it. She looked up to see me and gave me an icy glare. I turned away and kept walking. Soon, I won't be afraid of Lilly anymore. Instead I'll be thrilled to see the shame in her eyes every time she passes me in the halls. I won't be the loser anymore. I couldn't wait.....

Right as I got to the driveway of my house I caught a glimpse of that freak girl Alex looking at me. I gave her my biggest glare warning her never to look at me again like the creep she was. I walked inside my house and put my purse on the kitchen counter. I walked upstairs and took off my skirt and crop top. I placed my shoes in the garbage. They were going in the trash anyway. It doesn't matter, in a few days it would be Black Friday and since my dad knew the mall owner, I could pay half price and get to the front of every line. I dressed in my comfy sweatpants and long sleeves sweater. I placed my glasses on before I started to do my homework. I had a long time before Johnny got here. Since it was 2:30 I had five and a half hours until Johnny will arrive to my house. So that gives me five hours in my comfy clothes and then half an hour to get ready. This was going to be a great night, I can't wait.

I was almost done with my homework when my cell phone rang. I picked up my iPhone and stopped the buzzing.

"Hello?" I asked not even looking at the caller ID.

"Hey babe," I heard Johnny's voice say on the other end.

"Hey," I said trying to act like I didn't care. Playing hard I get is always the right way to go.

"Do you have something else on your mind?" He asked a little angry.

"Yea, I'm worrying about the equation of pi times the square root of 169" I said sarcastic acting like I didn't give two shits about math. But in reality, I kind of enjoyed math. I smiled at the thought of my sarcasm.

"Ok.... Whatever," he said. "I'll be a few mins late by the way. I have football practice which is running a little late which will cause me to get home late and I need to get perfected before seeing you," he said. I smiled and responded back to him.

"Ok see ya honey," I said as I hit the end call button. yay! I have a few more minutes to wear my comfy clothes than before. I finished my homework quickly and went upstairs to find the perfect outfit.

I opened my front door and walked swiftly into the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm home!" I yelled as I entered the kitchen. She looked exhausted, her apron was full with powder. She must of been cooking all day..... But she had a job today.

"Mom? Why does it look like you were cooking all day or a least for a few hours?" I asked worried. I could see the dark bags under my moms eyes.

"Because I have," she answered.

"What about your job!?! Did you get fired?!" I asked with horror in my voice.

"No, no. There there Alex, don't freak out. I didn't get fired. My boss gave me a day off, when I told her I couldn't and I needed the money she said she would pay me even though I have a day off. So I decided to cook for a new bakery sale on Saturday." She said in a soft voice. I sighed with relief, good!

"Oh ok," I said before I went into the one room we had and closed the door behind me. I looked around making sure none of my siblings were in here before I made my way to the closet. I climbed onto the shelve praying I wouldn't make too much noise. I opened a ceiling panel that revealed the wrinkled up, old book. It had a nice leather cover and I'm guessing was expansive. My grandma gave it to me right before she died, two years ago hen I was 15 years old. I planned on using it for something special. Not like a diary or some stupid journal thing, I like keeping my emotions inside of me, not out in the open on paper for anyone to find. So I decided to make this whole book about "Destroying Lilly". It has my thoughts and feelings about her. Not like a diary where you talk about your love life and blah blah blah. It has secrets about her, which I found out by using my famous spy work. It has all the plans on how Im going to destroy the famous and rich Lilly! That's important right? Yea! It is! She ruined my life, so now I'm going to ruin hers!

I wet through my third closet which was labeled "new". It had clothes that I bought for special events that I had never wore before. I went to the dress section and started to look through them.

Finally I found the perfect outfit. I picked a sexy short red dress that stopped at the top of my thighs. I picked out a Lacey red bra and underwear from Victoria secret, and finished off with 5 inch red heels. Johnny would be drooling over me. My parents are out tonight so I could wear whatever I wanted! I hear the doorbell rang and looked at the time on my iPhone. 8:15. It had to be Johnny! I was so excited, it was time. I climbed down the stairs slowly making sure I didn't fall. I applied red lipstick quickly before throwing the lipstick in a random direction. I walked over to my two, giant doors of my mansion, my heels clicking on the tile below me. I reached for the handle and flew the door open.

"Hello Johhny," I said in a sexy voice. "I have been waiting-" I gasped in shock. It was not Johnny who was at the door, instead it was someone who I was scared of.........
