Misunderstood...

Chapter 10

"Alexander?" I asked scrunching my nose.

He chuckled. "Yes. I'm here with my parents. I have been for years now." He said opening the door.

"You mean you've been apart of the circus this whole time and I've never noticed you?" I ask scooting the wheelchair back.

He smiles. "Yes. It was my own fault though. I was to afraid to talk to you."

I smiled up at him. "I'm Dakota by the way."

He laughed. "Pleasure."

Alexander had asked me if I wanted to ride with him on the trip to Washington, I would've said yes but Dalton wanted me to ride in our car. Since Alexander's parents were sorta strict they made him ride in his car. So, to fix the problem we exchange numbers.

"So who is that dude?" Dalton asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Just a friend. His names Alexander. You should get to know him. He's super nice."

"Define nice."

I rolled my eyes and shoved Dalton off.

Alexander: heyyyy

Dakota: OMG you txt like a white girl😂

Alexander: do not

Alexander: it's just my mating call😏

Dakota: don't be weird

Alexander: *salutes* yes ma'am!

"Can I play your phone?" I ask as Dalton starts to fall asleep.

"Why? So you can waste my battery too?" He said sleepily.

I giggled and leant my head I'm his shoulder. "Maybe."

"Here." He said handing it over.

Moments later he was passed out.

Dalton was still asleep when he got a text. The name that popped up was Rachel. Rachel? As in the plastic Rachel? I clicked on the conversation and scrolled through it.

Ratchet Rachel: hey😏

Dalton: sup

Ratchet Rachel: I'm bored😫 wanna hang out?

Dalton: last time I hung out with a girl she almost lost her leg

Dalton: so no

Ratchet Rachel: aw c'mon i mean c'mon I'm soooo much better than that dumb Dakota.

Dalton: Dakota is amazing. She loves me and I love her. Nothing can break us up.

Ratchet Rachel: not even another boy?

Read at 2:30

Ratchet Rachel: hellooooo?????

I turned his phone off and stared out the window. Was Alexander suppose to break us up? But why? I guess that could explain why I've never seen Alexander. Maybe I'm just crazy.

"Hey Kota we're gonna have a outstrip for lunch up here. You might wanna wake your snoring boyfriend." Dad suggested.

I smiled and turned to find Dalton sound asleep with his head leant back. Oh and he was clearly snoring. I pinched his nose and seconds later he was squirming for air.

"Good morning. Time for lunch."

~

Dalton was clearly annoyed that I had suffocated him in his sleep but was soon happy again when I promised to buy him some chocolate milk.

"Chocolate milk?" Alexander asked.

I turned to see him standing next to me.

It feels like he gets taller everytime I see him.

"Yeah. It's for Dalton." I say motioning my arm to Dalton who's debating between zebra cakes and Cosmo brownies.

"Is he your brother?"

I snorted. "Nope."

"Cousin?"

"Try again."

"Well he most certainly isn't your father. Right?"

I laughed quietly. "He's my boyfriend."

"Oh. Well should I stop?"

"Stop what?" I ask as he pushes me out if the store in my wheelchair.

"Flirting with you." He smiled.

Just as I was about to answer I glanced over to see my dad grinning like a child.

"I just bought a car!"

"What? Why?" I ask leaning forward in my seat.

Dalton was standing next to me now, examining the new car.

"It's for you kids. So you can all ride together."

"Wait. That doesn't include Ratchet Rachel does it?" Dalton asked with a mouth stuffed with Zebra Cakes.

I looked at his hands to see he had both packages.

"Couldn't decide?" I ask.

He grins with the food still in his mouth.

"Yes miss."

~

"Look. You're annoying as heck so don't talk to me." Rachel said already annoyed as we loaded into the Suburban.

I crawl into the far back with her following closely behind. As I'm getting in I find a dead rodent. Growing up I wasn't easily grossed out so I picked it up and grinned I flung it toward Rachel only for her to fall out of the car.

"You-!"

Just as Rachel was about to swear Oliver pressed to horn for a few seconds.

"Well that was a close one." Oliver says laughing.

Mel and Kel nod in agreement. After countless minutes of deciding we finally get the seats in order. Driving is Oliver and next to him is Mel and Kel. In the middle three seats is Alexander, Dalton, and Me. Leaving Rachel unconscious in the back seat.

"Alright! Let's enjoy this leave and quiet while we can!" Oliver says grinning.

I lean forward and poke Mel.

"Nows your chances. Talk to him." I whispered.

She smiles and nods.

We start up the car and begin to drive behind my parents. It's completely quiet until Oliver turns some music on. Then there's static. I lean forward at the radio and knock on it with my fist. The static continues. Suddenly it stops. I hear a faint laughter as it suddenly gets louder.

"Is that coming from the radio?" Kel asks.

"Yes it is dearie." The voice in the radio says.

"Who the hell are you?" Oliver asks darting his eyes from the road to the radio.

"Let's call me Mr. X." He says finally.

"Alright, Mr. X what do you want with us?" Alexander asks starting to sound annoyed.

"Oh you'll figure it out eventually. One by one you'll all disappear."

He begins laughing again. Then the radio goes back to normal.

☹☹☹
