Mia Rain: Bayside High

A Cousin's Chaotic Visit

Time went on and Zack's knee was healed and he can walk now. I start another day at Bayside today. I rolled out of bed and did my morning routine. I brushed my hair and applied makeup. I rigged my closet for an outfit till somebody tapped my bedroom window. Who is that? I walked to see...my other cousin Lexi. How did she get here? Did mom knew she was coming? My jaw dropped. She smiled and knocked. "Mia! Open the door!" She said, from outside. I walked to open the window. She sighed in relief, climbing inside. "Ok, how did you get here? And what are you doing?" I asked, frantically. She shushed me. "Relax! Your parents could still be asleep." She said. I rolled my eyes. "It's 7 in the morning, Lexi. I doubt they're asleep." I said. She brushed herself off and smiled. "First it's so great to see you! It's been a while since you, me and Deana were together." She said. I nodded. "We pretty much split because you both earned a spot in Kidz Bop. I've only texted and called her a few times." I told her. Deana and Lexi liked Kidz Bop when we were younger. It all started when Deana posted a video of herself singing and Lexi who snuck on their tour bus. She nodded in understanding. "I decided to come from the trip to visit you. Deana would've tag along but we had school at HVHS now." She said. I was confused. "I thought it was Hills Village Middle School?" I asked. They attend the same school Deana's love triangle boyfriend Rafe goes. She nodded her head no. "Since we're teens, it's now HVHS. Being a teenager is too lit!" She squealed. I chuckled. "Well, I need to get to school. I'll see you when I come back!" I said. She scoffed. "HVHS isn't today. Your mom is fine if I go with you to see your new school and friends. Also...boyfriend?" She said, adding a smirk. I laughed. "Yup! It's true." I said. She smiled. "Lets grab breakfast first." She said. I nodded.

We stepped out of my room and came downstairs. Everyone's eyes lit up, seeing Lexi's appearance. Mom smirked as if she knew why she's here. Dad smiled. "Hey, Lexi!" He said. She smiled. "Sup, Papa Rain!" She said. They fist bumped. Morgan smiled widely. "LEXI!" She yelled a bit. We  laughed as she ran to her grasp. Lexi hugged her. "Hey, sneaky bean." She said. Her and Morgan get along well. It's just a crazy connection they have. They parted. "Why you're here?" She asked. Lexi chuckled. "I'm here to spend time with Mia in her new school and friends." She said. I started making my food plate. I quickly began eating. "I thought you could have fun and show her around." Mom said. I nodded. "What's the school called?" Lexi asked. I smiled. "Bayside High. By the way, Bayside doesn't play with anything inappropriate." I said. Morgan rolled her eyes. "Still lame." She muttered. I picked up a pancake. She jumped and quickly went to her seat. Dad chuckled and mouthed 'stop' to me. I shrugged. Lexi grabbed a seat next to me. Mom handed her a plate. "Tell me more about Bayside." She said. I smiled. "It's cool! It has cheerleading, music and me and my friends hang at the Max during lunch or the weekends." I told her. Her eyes widened. "Cheerleading? You're the head cheerleader?" She asked. I nodded my head no. "Nope! My friend Kelly's the head cheerleader. I'm just the cheerleader with Lisa Turtle." I said, chuckling. Her jaw dropped. "I'm sorry, did you say Lisa Turtle?" She asked. I was confused. "Yeah." I said. She smiled. "I love her makeup tutorials online! I watch her on YouTube sometimes." She said. I smirked. "Then you must her subscriber." I joked. She looked at me. "Don't jinx it." She said. We chuckled. Lisa's gonna love having her around. "I seen a couple of girls in her shopping haul videos. Do you mean Kelly Kapowski?" She said. I nodded. "And Jessie." I said. She smiled. "Cool! Can't wait to meet them." She said. She continued to ask questions till mom spoke. "Time to go! Grab your backpacks!" Mom said. Me and Morgan kissed dad bye. We made a run to the car. I was in the second front seat as usual. Lexi sat in the back with Morgan.

Mom dropped us off and Lexi smiled at the view of Bayside. The whole ride I've told her about everyone and Zack. I chuckled. "Somehow I feel you're in for a real treat." I said. She chuckled. "Then lets see the treat." She said. We walked inside. She followed me to my locker. I opened and stuffed my books inside. Lets not forget I decorated it. Filled with stickers of music notes, pics of me and the others. Two of me and Zack. She looked at them in awe. "You two are cute!" She said. I chuckled. "Yeah we are." The same voice said. I got my English notebook and closed the locker. Zack laid against his, smirking. His eyes diverted to Lexi. "Who's this?" He asked. I smiled. "Zack, meet my cousin Lexi. Lexi this is my boyfriend Zack." I said. She smiled and put her hand out. He shook it. "Nice to meet you in the flesh! Mia talks about you all the time." She said, smirking. I laughed. He smirked. "Oh she does?" He said. I playfully rolled my eyes. Soon the squad showed up. Lexi's eyes lit up seeing Lisa. Kelly smiled. "Hey guys, I was wondering if we could go to the- she stopped once she saw Lexi. She smiled nervously. I rolled my eyes. "Guys, this is my cousin Lexi. She came to visit me at Bayside." I said. Everybody greeted her. She giggled. "I know all your names. Also I've watched Lisa's channel and I love your makeup tutorials." She said. Her eyes widened. "Why thank you, girl. I actually met my first fan!" She said, squealing at the last part. Slater scoffed. "What is it with girls doing tutorials involving makeup? They're just painting their face." He said. I rolled my eyes. "If you were a woman, you'd have actual paint." Jessie said. Us girls oohed and smiled. I high five Jessie. She high five back. "Hey, Lexi! How about you can hang with us at the Max?" Zack asked. Lexi smiled. "Really? Ok!" She said. My brain clicked. She told me she'll come and I show her around the school. But she doesn't go here...oh no! I crossed my arms. "Lex, there's a problem." I told her. Everyone shared looks of confusion. "What?" She said. "You said you came so I can show you around the place. But you don't go here at all. Right?" I said. She nodded, still confused. "Yeah?" She said. I huffed. Thankfully, Kelly knew the answer. "You don't go here! Mr. Belding has a strict rule about bringing outside friends who doesn't go to Bayside!" She said. All their jaws dropped. "We can't let Mr. Belding see you!" Zack said. I nodded in agreement. "Hey, Hey, hey, hey!" A familiar voice said from behind. We jumped and turned to see Mr. Belding. We shared nervous smiles. "What's going on here?" He said, noticing our crowding. I felt a poke on my back so I knew Lexi's behind me. I scoffed. "Nothing, Mr. Belding! Just a regular teenage talk about school!" I lied. Everybody chatted in agreement. Zack nodded. "Yeah we were talking about the ways of using money in math." He said. His voice sounded disgusted, saying math. Slater fake smiled. "Anyways, we gotta get to class! Bye!" He said. "What about Lex- I cut Screech off and covered his mouth. Lisa fake smiled. "He said lets go, I'm excited." She said. Mr. Belding smiled. "Alright then, go and enjoy that learning!" He said. He let out a high-pitched snicker.  I nodded, not minding his laugh. He returned back to his office. We breathed a breath of relief. Lexi came from behind me. "Thanks, guys." She said. Zack smiled. "No prob Lex." He said. "How are you gonna stick around? You don't go to our classes!" Screech asked. Lexi smirked deviously. "Leave it to me. If I can sneak on a tour bus and climb on my cousin's window, I can hide anywhere in school." She said. They looked unsure. Their eyes diverted to me for an answer. I sighed. "It's true. She's a wizard in disguise." I said, joking at the last part. She playfully rolled her eyes. Lisa chuckled. "Ok, lets go." She said. We hurried to our classes. Lexi gave a thumbs up. I nodded.

English and math periods were over before I knew it. I wonder how long Lexi handled hiding somewhere. Hopefully, Mr. Belding didn't find her. "Where's Lexi, M? She said she'd come out of hiding once class is over." Slater said. I shrugged.
Suddenly, I heard voices. They weren't coming from my head. Zack was confused. "What are you-I cut off by shushing. I followed the voice to my locker. I opened it and Lexi was inside. She was totally cramped up in there. All their jaws dropped. I carefully pulled her out. She breathed heavily and took Screech's water bottle to jug down. "Seriously? Why'd you hide in my locker?" I asked. She stopped drinking and caught her breath. "I couldn't take the trash can because I don't want any garbage all over me so I didn't have a choice." She explained. I rolled my eyes. "You look really cramped, I wonder if you can walk ok." Kelly said. She smiled and nodded in disagreement. "Oh I'm fine!" She told her. She couldn't stand still with her legs wobbling. The scene made this super awkward. "We still need to make sure Mr. Belding doesn't see you." Zack said. I smirked. "She's in luck because we're going to the Max during lunch." I said. We heard Mr. Belding's voice from the office. That alarmed us to make a beeline for the door.

At the Max, we sat at our original booth. Slater helped grab chairs for him and Lexi. I sat between Zack and Jessie. Kelly, Lisa and Screech sat on the other side. We ordered food and drinks while chatting. Lexi smiled. "I can't wait to see what you'll do for your 16th!" She said, referring to my birthday. The boys's eyes widened. "Your birthday's coming up?" Zack asked. I chuckled. "In two months." I said. Screech smiled. "Happy early birthday, M! Am I in charge of carrying gifts?" He said. I looked at him confusedly. The others rolled their eyes. "No, Screech you're not." I told him. He nodded. Zack smiled and wrapped his arm around me. "You deserve the best birthday of all time." He said. I blushed a bit. "Aww, thank you." I said. "What's good is we got away from Mr. Belding so he wouldn't catch her." Slater said, looking at Lexi. I scoffed. "I'm not surprised. She's done much craziness before." I said. She rolled her eyes. Jessie was confused. "Like what?" She asked. I pretend to think for a minute. "Hmm, sneaking into the Kidz Bop tour van, breaking rules at HVHS- Zack cut me off. "Breaking rules at HVHS? That's actually cool!" He said. I actually smiled and nodded. "I know, right?" I said. He chuckled. Kelly chuckled. "Seriously?" She said. Lexi smiled. "Yup! Our principal Dwight is such a jerk of the year so me, our cousin Deana and her boyfriend Rafe rebelled to break every rule on the code of conduct." She explained. Their eyes widened. I laughed. "It's true! I joined them before and it was so much fun." I said.
Zack smiled at me dreamily. "I love you so much." He muttered. I smirked and playfully squeezed his cheek. Our foods and drinks came. We began drinking and eating. Our conversation continued till lunch hour was over.

We returned back to Bayside and met back at my locker. Lexi smiled. "This has been awesome! I love hanging with everyone." She said. I laughed. "I know." I said. Jessie smiled. "Was nice meeting with you, Lexi." She said. "Yeah hopefully you come back without Mr. Belding knowing." Screech added. "Hey, Hey, hey, hey!" The same voice said a little loud. We groaned and growled at Screech. He walked in between me and Zack. "What's really going on here?" He asked. His eyes turned to Lexi. She smiled nervously. He looked as if he never met her. "Who are you? I never seen you here before." He asked. Zack smiled nervously. "That's because she's- Lexi cut him off. "Working beside the school board. I'm the youngest worker." She said. He nodded, not agreeing. "Really? What do you work as? I never seen you in the meetings." He said. She couldn't think of anything else to say. Kelly giggled nervously. "The most important work?" She guessed. He stared us down. He was still not believing us. Finally, I gave up. I sighed. "Mr. Belding, this is my cousin Lexi. She came to visit so I can show her around here." I said. He looked confused. "Show her around? Are you new here?" He asked. A moment of silence was present. "More like a student from another school." Screech said. We growled at him. Zack pulled up his fist but I grabbed it. Mr. Belding nodded in understanding. "Oh I see what's going on. I have a strict policy about bringing kids who go to another school. Now what do you have to say for yourselves?" He said. Again, silence was present. Lexi smiled nervously. "How about I could leave and get a milkshake? Go on about my day?" She said. I rolled my eyes. Mr. Belding fake smiled. "Everyone can get milkshakes after leaving my office." He said. We groaned quietly, following him to his office. This is what happens when Lexi visits.
