"Hey Alex!" Jamie yells, as I approach his house.

"Hey Jamie!" I call back.

"Let's play some video games," he smirks, and we race to his room.

I grab the controller, and we start to play. I beat him, of course.

"Yes! In your face, pretty boy!" I exclaim, and point at him.

"How do you do that?" he asks me.

"I'm a natural," I smirk.

"Yeah right," he scoffs.

"Matthew! Jamie brought a girl home!" Jamie's mom exclaims.

"Hi Mrs. Bennett," I greet her.

"Hello, what's your name?" she asks me.

"Alexis Tanner." I smile at her.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Vicki." she shakes my hand.

"Mom, she's not my girlfriend." Jamie groans.

"He doesn't like me that way, because I beat him in video games," I smirk at Vicki.

"Really?" she asks me, shocked.

"Yup," I flip my hair over my shoulder, "I'm a natural."

"Yeah, a natural cheater," Jamie adds, jokingly.

"It takes skill to cheat," I stick my tongue out at him.

"Yeah right, you could've look up cheats," he mocks.

"Like I have the time," I roll my eyes.

"True," he nods his head.

"Well, it was nice meeting you," Vicki says, as I leave Jamie's house.

"You too, Vic, see you next time," I smile, and make my way home, but I continue to get a sinking feeling that there's someone following me.

Then suddenly, someone grabs me, and places chloroform over my mouth. Then I pass out in the stranger's arms.

"Sleep well, Alex." an unfamiliar, yet familiar, voice whispers in my ear.
