This Summer

Chapter 1

Lex

This is it. I let out a final sigh as I look at the mirror in the ladies bathroom at school. Hair check. Face check. I twirled once then grabbed the cement cake that I 'baked'. It's not my fault the baking soda dived into my cake batter! Besides, it's the thought that counts right? I mean I spent the whole night making this... Cake check.

With a confidence I didn't know I posses I went out of the bathroom. I heard a lot of grumbles and curses as I finally let the other girls inside the bathroom after about, I looked at my watch 3 hours? Oh well.

I quickly went to the soccer field. And quickly spotted Riley. Shinny blonde hair like Barbie, lopsided smile that makes me think about lollipops, skin as black as coal that it makes me wonder if he is still visible in the dark (NOT A RACIST), and let us not forget that body of his. Yes his straight and thin as a stick body that makes me always worry that he might be broken into two if he kicks the ball.

I feel my heart quicken when I see him look in my direction. Not because he looked at my direction but because the ball was headed straight at his head and he can't see it.

*Bogsh*

I sighed. What did I ever see in him again? I looked at him laying in the grass and quickly dropped the cement cake and made my way to him. With hurried movements I carried him bridal style and let me tell you he weights less than the cake I was holding earlier. What is he eating? Green leaves?

I quickly made my way to the nurse's office. The cake long forgotten. After a while he was allowed to leave the infirmary. It was then that I grabbed the opportunity.

He looked at my direction and muttered a thanks. Before he could even take a step I grabbed his wrist and confessed to him.

"Riley, I like you!"

He looked at me like I am the most ridiculous person or something.

"I don't know you? How do you even know my name? Actually forget it. This is a prank right? Well then it's not funny. I need to go."

"Wait! Riley I really like---" before I could finish my sentence he looked at me with a heated glare and said the 6 words that broke me.

"Well I don't. Now get lost."

I remember the first time I saw him. He was crying because a baby cat died. At first I thought he was pathetic. But then the next day I saw him again. He was playing basketball with some other people. He was good at it so I stopped to stare at him. He was wearing a big smile. He seemed so happy.

But then one of the people he was playing with tripped and fell down on his face. All of them were laughing at the poor guy's misery... Except him. Riley. Even though the guy that tripped was twice or maybe thrice his size he still helped the guy. I was captured by that. And ever since then I became a stalker!

And as I stalk him from time to time I got to see a part of him that I slowly fell for. He was unlike any other...

Dejected. Yes that's how I feel... Funny it rhymes with rejected... The dejected rejected me. Feeling down I immediately went home.

Once I entered my room I quickly grabbed my 'Baggy full of crazynessy'. Opened it and quickly changed into a black over sized hoodie and a gray sweat pants and wear my pink bunny slippers (so comfy I tell you).

Of course to hide my real identity I wear my blue contacts and put on my shaggy wig. Tada! I now look like a complete idiot. Nobody would even suspect that I am the 'oh so great Lex Castellen'.

Being a rich kid really is a pain in the butt. Everybody just have to know you. The pressure and all that yada-yada. To get away from it all I go around as Carter Crux and do crazy things.

And one of the perks of being a part of a rich family is that fake IDs, passports, etc. are easy to get.

Oh! In case you haven't noticed my fake identity is a guy... Don't ask me why. Because I sure as hell don't know. It just happened I guess.

After grabbing a few dollars I went out of the house. On my way out my older brother saw me. "Pretending to have a manhood again Lexy?" My annoying bro taunted me.

"You know no matter how hard you try-"

"You can never be as stupid as me. I know brother. I'm to amazing too be degraded to your level." I completed his sentence smirking.

"You're so-"

"Fabulous."

"Can you quit-"

"Being awesome? No can do, bro."

"Can you at least-"

"Teach me how to be half as fabulous as you? Sowwy!" I said in a sing song voice.

"Lex, I'm getting-"

"Old? Of course bro, it's part of being ugly..."

"Ugh!" My bro grumbled. Ha! He can never out wit me in being stupid.

"Well, I have places to grace with my presence. Annoy you next time."
