It'd been about a week after the pool day and about a week of me laying in bed coughing my lungs up. Yes, the morning after everyone arrived I got ill with the flu. Not that anyone really cared - just as quick as everyone came they left.
"Hey sis, you better now?" Jace asks as I enter the kitchen looking through the fruit bowl and sitting next to a cereal eating Noah.
"Yeah. I'm thinking of going down to the library today, you know catch up with studies," I say munching into a granny apple.
"Oh your right, you should definitely be catching up. Spring breaks almost over," He says smirking at my misery.
"Urgh! Stop reminding me!" I sulk into the countertop.
"Sometimes I forget your in high school Lex," Noah speaks up subtly checking out my face.
"Yeah I know, it's because I'm so mature," Noah scoffs, "Anyways I'm going to be 18 soon, completely legal," I say reminding Noah.
Jace raises his eyebrow confused at my comment. Of course.
"I'm going to go to a lot more parties, drink, smoke, hook up with guys-" I ramble.
Noah scoffs again before stuffing his face with more Cheerios. I glare at the side of his face.
"Over my dead body Alexa Carolyn Hale," I grimace before getting mad at his outburst. The guy used my full disgusting name! Jerk...
"Well that is pretty likely now isn't it, bro," I sneered.
Jace looked furious before settling into a hurt expression. He knew I still wasn't accepting the gang thing. I mean we barely spoke of it ever - it was a massive elephant in the room.
Noah cleared his throat interrupting the stare off me and my brother were having.
I sighed, "Whatever," Throwing my apple core in the bin, "I'll see you guys later... Don't wait up for me!" Was the last thing I called before hopping into my car and speeding off towards the nearest McDonalds.
I didn't lie about going to the public library. It's just when I know it's before 10am I can never miss up an opportunity to get their sexy sausage, egg McMuffin with a hash brown and Tropicana. Hence only an apple.
I was busy applying chapstick, when the guy at the drive thru rudely coughed and nodded his head towards my food.
"Sorry Brandon," I smiled gratefully taking it from him.
"Whatever Lexa," He muttered.
"I'll never know why you hate me so much Brandon," I chuckle shaking my head.
"I don't. I just find you annoying. And dislike you heavily," He muttered again.
"Well that's... Good news," I mumble.
Brandon actually chuckles! A sign of enthusiasm!
"It's an upgrade," He jokes but with no laughter, only a small smile.
A loud beep comes from the car behind.
"Well then I'll take what I'm given," I say whilst starting my engine.
As soon as he hears my ignition, a realisation dawns on him.
"Wait!" He shouts.
I raise my eyebrow expectantly.
He suddenly gets quite nervous and scratches the back of his head, "Jace is your brother right? Noah lives with you?" He yammers out.
"Yeah..." I say awaiting part two of his question.
