Our lives

Alexandra

"Beep beep bee-", my hand reaches for the alarm clock as fast as it can." I hate Mondays!" I scream into my pillow when a figure appears in the doorway of my room. Nick, my twin brother walks into the room and starts turning the lights on and off. OVER AND OVER! " Alexandra get up !" he says in an annoying tone. It really pisses me off whenever he does this so I get up and smack him with my pillow " You bitch!" I scream at him "Do you not have anything better to do with your life other than bothering me?!?"  He runs out of the room while my dad walks in. " Well, do I sense anything wrong here?" he asks me sarcastically with a small smile forming on his face. My dad as you could tell is pretty much used to having sarcastic people around the house 24/7. " Well if you don't mean the annoying twin brother that i have had to live with these past 14 years, then no there is absolutely no problem here!" I reply back to him. My dad chuckles and says " Just like your mother" with a sad smile on his face while leaving the room. Our mom had died right after me and Nick were born ,our dad never talks about her much because it gets him down everytime. 

I walk over to the bathroom and turn on the sink, I bend down to wash my face and look up at myself.I have sky blue eyes with really long black hair that can never stay in one place. My brother on the other hand has my dad's brown hair and my mom's dark brown eyes. He's a perfect mix of my parents unlike me. I put on a blue sweater with sweatpants and my necklace. Me and my brother have the same kind of stone but my mom gave him a bracelet it helps be closer to her I guess.

I walk down the stairs and meet my brother in the hallway checking himself out like the dumb ass that he can be at times. He has a white shirt, light blue jeans and red sneakers on. He moves his hair to the side while walking down the stairs to the kitchen. Our dad is waiting at the counter with waffles. We run over to the car and our dad drives us over to our school. As we enter the door we notice our group waiting for us by the gym.

In our amazing group we have me, Alexandra Stone, my brother Nick Stone, our bestfriends Jake Sanders,  Julia Princeton, Anne Duncan and our childhood friends Max and Aaron Griffin. Max and Aaron have been our friends since our mom died. Their parents met our dad at a party and they've been close friends ever since.  They are also twins like me and Nick, but Max looks like he could be my twin and Aaron looks like he could be Nick's twin . Max has black hair like mine and dark grey eyes while Aaron has brown hair with the a lighter shade of  blue eyes. Jake, our first friend next to Max and Aaron plays soccer and he has these amazing sea-blue and green eyes and dark brown hair. Anne plays soccer with me and has golden brown eyes and fiery red hair. Our newest addition to the group is a girl named Julia, she has short blonde hair and hazel eyes.

We all meet up and head our separate ways, me and Jake head up the stairs to government " So Alexandra,...are you doing anything after practice?" Jake asks me while we walk up. "Well,.. I have a chemistry project and Nick is inviting Anne and Max over to work on their Spanish presentation today."  I reply, " Hey, I could help both of you guys if you want me to." he says. "Sure you'll be a big help!" i say giving him a smile. He gives me a giant smile back " Great I'll meet you after practice!" he says as we sit at our desks. While we're working in class I spot a paper on the floor. I go over and pick it up, on it someone has written my name, my full name that only a select few know. Alexandra Helen Stone, the name is surrounded by little hearts and flowers. I look to see who's desk was closest to the paper. I look up to see Jake staring at me, I walk over to him and show him the paper. " Jake?" I ask, "Yeah what's up?" he asks me seeming innocent at the time "Do you know anything about this paper and more specifically what's written on it?" I demand. He stares at the paper for ten seconds a shocked look on his face, then he laughs and gives me a smile saying " Oh it's nothing, just a thing that Max wrote."

"Well why do you think he would write that?" I ask him as he turns bright pink. I've got him now! I think to myself. He slowly opens his mouth and replies "Oh...um...well he must've thought that I love.. you." he turns a brighter pink while saying this. I'm about to reply when the bell rings and Jake runs out of the room as quickly as he can. Damn, that kid is fast! I think to myself. I go over to my next class but somehow I can't stop thinking about  how he looked when he said "I love you." My heart starts to beat rapidly as I think about him. Do I really feel this way? He's my bestfriend!
