CODE RED (Book 1)

Intensity

It was late at night, around the time of 11:59. Tomorrow would be Friday, finally the last day of the week that I wouldn't have to wake up early in the morning. Now I'd relax for two whole days and I could do what I wanted without worrying over homework or every ones eyes being on me and the occasional whisper of my name from gossip.

which still annoyed me to no end.

People still weren't over the details of D.C's party which happened weeks ago. You would think that this is high school and people there would easily find something else to gossip about in a matter of days, but no, Weslyn High was different, the kids here would keep something from a year ago and still possible talk about it.

It was annoying.

I was currently hanging upside down on Alex's bed with my head over the edge with my phone held up to my face sending texts to my mom. He had turned the lights off hours ago watching the movie on his TV in front of us on a Netflix account, munching on pop corn. That's what we did as soon as we got back from the dinner thing with Nai and D.C.

This would be our third movie and I had stopped watching all together once he put on Dead Pool. I had figured it would be a wise idea to text my mom to see what she was doing and if she wasn't having some out of line party again. Her texts were minutes passed mine, meaning she took forever to reply to each text I gave her.

This only caused my suspensions to heighten but then again maybe she was just busy doing something else and not drinking our having random people over to party. I sighed, it was a good thing I would be talking with her tomorrow to get her point of what was going on with her.

Finally I just turned off my phone and threw it off to the side in order to pay attention to the movie Alex was watching. I scooted myself off his bed and sat down next to him.

Knowing my presence was there he positioned the popcorn bowl in front of both of us so I could have some.

I took a few and plopped them in my mouth tasting the nacho flavored seasoning. My favorite, and apparently it was his too.

I had been showered hours ago as soon as we got back to his place and as usual, Alex gave me a change of his own clothing for me to sleep in.

The Dead Pool movie was reaching to it's end as the main character won back the girl he had fallen in love with in a scene where everything was wrecked and crumbled apart. The movie was on the sarcastic side for the main character and I found what half I saw of the movie itself since I wasn't really paying attention all the way, to be funny. The guy reminded me of a second Spider Man to be honest.

The credits rolled up the darkening screen and beside me I heard Alex sigh as he stretched before saying, "That wasn't to bad. What do you think?"

"Same as you." I shrugged laying down on my back, feeling the carpet beneath me touch my bare arms, since I was wearing a black tank top.

Alex sat up straight again before looking down at me. "Even though you barely watched it you still think it ' wasn't that bad' ?" he sounded as if he was accusing me.

I nodded unfazed by this and looked up at his darkened face. His room had grown darker since the brightness of his TV was over run by the dark back ground of the credits rolling up.

He shrugged." Whatever then, what do you want to do now? I'm all out of cool movies to watch."

"I have no idea." I said before the sudden question came into my head that I wanted to ask him earlier.

I sat up and came face to face with him, not realizing he'd be this close. I didn't bother moving though.

"I need to ask you something." I said seriously.
