I sat at the table poking my food, I wasn’t hungry, mum was talking away to her boyfriend, I looked over at him. Who knew Alex is the son of my mum’s boyfriend. Freaky.
“Paige go show Alex around while Simon and I talk” mum spoke after we had finished cleaning up
I walked up stairs into my room, Alex following behind, I sat down on my bed, he went and sat down on my chair
“N-nice house” Alex said
“Why do you hate me all of a sudden” I said ignoring his question
“What?” He was confused
“You know! When you are around Joe you are always giving me dirty looks. Why?”
“I’m sorry Paige”
“Why though? Why?”
“I-I can’t tell you”
“Why!?”
“You don’t understand, I know something”
“Yes ok I figured you know something about me that I don’t! yes ok I don’t care but does that give you any reason at all to treat me like crap and give me dirty looks all day long, no? no I don’t think so! So why do you do it then? I thought we were friends, seems like we aren’t”
Alex was taken aback by my outburst, he looked hurt “Paige look I am really sorry, I know it is wrong I won’t do it anymore, I promise, and well I want to tell you but I can’t”
“why”
“i-I just-” he was cut off by my mum calling us down to the kitchen, we got up and walked down to them
“Paige, Alex we have good news, school holidays are in a week, we are all going on a road trip…TOGETHER!!!” She jumped in joy, me and Alex looked at each other and groaned
“Dad can I bring a friend?” so I’m not stuck with her” he pointed over at me, I glared at him
“I guess so” Simon said
“Can I mum?”
“No Paige there is only five seats in the car”
I mumbled something under my breath and walked to my room
I know it is short but I am really tired I wrote this at midnight
