Thursday
Ring ring ring ring
Lexie: (mumbles) you have got to be kidding me can I go one morning without being woke up (groans and rolls over to her nightstand and grabs her phone and answers)
Phone convo
Lexie: whoever this is you better have a damn good reason for calling me
?: damn so you leave Tennessee and become all Hollywood I see how it is
Lexie: Leo! Oh my gosh I am sorry I just assumed it was one of the boys I promise I haven't gone all diva
Leo: (laughs) I know I was just playing I saw the videos on tik tok room at the mall and at the restaurant
Lexie: (laughs) you saw that
Leo: yeah good job standing up for yourself by the way
Lexie: at least you understood
Leo: what do you mean?
Lexie: my brother went ballistic when we got home lecturing me about how I can't just lash out and blah blah
Leo: damn that sucks... do you know when you'll come back home?
Lexie: no idea
Leo: so who am I supposed to hook up with now (whines)
Lexie: I don't know but I am sure some girl would be desperate enough to hook up with the popular soccer player
Leo: but i don't want just any girl I want you...
Lexie: I know but I don't think that's gonna be possible
Leo: sexting and phone sex or video that works too
Lexie: did you seriously wake me up from my sleep to talk about sex
Leo: yes
Lexie: well too bad your gonna have to keep it in your pants mister
Leo: but I miss you and I miss waking up next to you hungover from partying to hard the night before
Lexie: huh I never knew the Leo Howard could be such a simp
Leo: haha very funny but seriously what are we going to do?
Lexie: well it's not like we are in a legit relationship and I know for a fact you don't do long distance so looks like your going to have to find someone else
Leo: ugh fine whatever I'll talk to you later
Lexie: byeee
End of convo
Lexie's pov
I put my phone down and I debated on whether or not I should go back to sleep and I decided against it because I am already awake anyway so I walked over to my closet and decided to put on a sports bra and some leggings and my vape pen because it's been a while since I have taken a hit and I really need one. I walked downstairs and saw the boys outside working out and decided to tell them I was going for a run.
End of pov
Blake: oh look who's up early today
Lexie: haha very funny anyway is it cool if I go for a run?
Jaden: yeah that's fine want one of us to come with you?
Lexie: nah it's okay I'll find my way around this neighborhood
Bryce: okay be careful and when you get back get ready because we are going to the hype house
Lexie: ugh okay
(The drama with hype hasn't happened yet key word yet just a little spoiler ;)
Lexie's pov
I left the house and started walking and then slowly advanced to a jog and eventually I started running while blasting my headphones and I got to an empty park and sat down on one of the benches and pulled out my vape pen and took a few hits from it and I really wanted to get a drink but I left my fake in the house and I can't get drunk again because Jaden would literally kill me ugh I need to find a group of people to vibe with here... maybe at school, am I even going back to public school? Jaden hasn't brought it up so I guess I should ask him. I took a couple more hits and then jogged back to the house because I was already out of energy. I opened the door and the boys were done working out and were sitting in the kitchen drinking their protein shakes and i just opened the fridge and took out some orange juice and made toast and sat at the table with everyone else.
End of pov
Lexie: Jaden I have a question
Jaden: what's up?
Lexie: am I going back to school or...
Jaden: well the guys and I talked and we think getting a tutor for you might be better
Lexie: are you serious why can't I just go to regular school you know like a normal kid
Kio: because you got expelled from five of them back home and we want to avoid that here
Lexie: okay so then just let me do virtual but I don't need a tutor
Griffin: yeah right if we put you in virtual school your never going to do the work you'll probably lie about it until you fail the class
Lexie: I am offended that you guys have such little faith in me
Josh: just stating the facts bud
Lexie: but I want to make friends (whines)
Quinton: Charli's only sixteen and so is Cynthia you can be friends with them
Lexie: no offense Q but I really don't feel like being friends with fake social media girls
Quinton: I promise you Cynthia's really cool and she'll be at hype today so you can meet her
Lexie: ugh whatever I am going to start getting ready
Josh: wear something age appropriate please, there are to many guys in that house including chase!!
Lexie: yeah yeah I'll dress like a pretty little princess (scoffs and walks upstairs)
Anthony: oh Jaden did you end up talking to lex last night?
Jaden: kind of... not really she didn't want to open up to me I asked her if she was mad at me but she just said she was tired and wanted to sleep
Noah: so in conclusion that solves nothing
Jaden: yeah pretty much
Lexie's pov
I walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower since I was sweating from the run and when i was done, I wrapped the towel around me and walked over to my closet and looked for something to wear. If it were up to me I would wear something from garage but I don't want to expose my secret stash so I decided on a coral colored body suit with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and sandals to match then I put my hair in a braid and walked back downstairs to see the boys ready to go. We decided to take the triller bus since everyone was going and we didn't want to take so many cars and then we just had griffin drive it since he's the most responsible. On the way there the boys blasted music and eventually we got to hype and Taylor let us inside and everyone was either filming tik toks or making YouTube videos or just chilling on the couch talking, I wasn't sure what to do until Avani came up to me and hugged me which caught me off guard but I decided to not be rude and hug back.
End of pov
Avani: Lexie come meet charli and Cynthia! (Drags her over to the kitchen where charli and Cynthia are getting drinks) guys this is Lexi
Charli: omg I already heard so much about you I am so happy there's another girl in our group
Cynthia: yeah it's gonna be fun not being the only young ones all the time (laughs) and your so pretty
Lexie: aww thanks but have you guys looked in a mirror, your like literal queens
Charli: I love you already (hugs her)
Cynthia: you should make a tik tok with us!
Lexie: (scoffs) yeah no I am so clueless when it comes to that
Charli: we can teach you come on just one dance
Cynthia: pleaseeee
Lexie: I mean I guess...
charli: yay!
Lexie's pov
Charli and Cynthia tried to teach me the savage dance since that one was supposed to be "simple" but it took me a couple times to get it and eventually I got it and we recorded it and then they convinced me to do a few more and I was over it so I wanted to make an excuse to use the bathroom.
End of pov
Lexie: hey guys where's the bathroom?
Charli: oh upstairs first door on the left
Lexie: thanks
Lexie's pov
I went in the direction that they told me too and found the bathroom and since I didn't really need to go I just sat in the bathroom and took a few hits of my vape pen and walked out and found my way to the backyard where everyone else was. I saw alex warren with his camera and Jaden by the pool and walked over to them.
End of pov
Alex: wait this looks like the scene in a movie where your singing a sad song
Jaden: what is it? I am not gonna stop not gonna stop till I get my shot (splashes the water)
Alex: Jesus Christ my camera (laughs)
Bryce: wait a minute I am gonna do a spit take (takes a drink of water from his bottle and spits it at Jaden)
Taylor: what the fuck is going on here (laughs)
Jaden: oh look a spit take (splashes Bryce with the water) oh no (splashes him again)
Bryce: alright alright truce
Lexie: you guys are so stupid (laughs)
Bryce: hey lex come here I want a hug
Lexie: I think the fuck not
Bryce: come here
Lexie: no way
(Bryce starts chasing Lexie and she runs away towards josh and hides behind him)
Josh: what is going on?
Lexie: Bryce is trying to hug me and he's wet
Bryce: what's wrong lex it's just a little water
Lexie: I don't care your not getting near me
Josh: what if we throw you in the pool instead
Lexie: don't you dare Joshua richards!
(Lexie tries to run but josh is quick to wrap his arms around her waist and walks her over to the pool)
Lexie: put me down!
Josh: careful what you wish for (throws her in the pool)
Lexie's pov
That's it he's a dead man I resurfaced from the water and saw everyone was laughing and filming so I decided now would be my time for revenge.
End of pov
Lexie: Joshy since you pushed me in can you help me up please (puppy dog eyes)
Josh: oh no I am not falling for that I wasn't born yesterday I know what your going to do
Lexie: what do you mean? I am not gonna do anything I promise just grab my hand and pull me out
Jaden: here I'll help you sis
Lexie: (shrugs her shoulders) okay
(Jaden reaches out his hand for Lexie to grab it and once she does she pulls him in instead)
Thomas: damn little hossler tricked her big brother (laughs)
Jaden: (groans) I had my phone in my pocket lex
Lexie: oops I guess it's payback for telling the boys to burn my clothes (gets out of the pool) great now I am soaked
Charli: come with me I'll help you find something that fits (grabs her hand)
Lexie: wait can I get a towel I don't want to get your house all wet
Chase: here you go little hossler (hands her the towel)
Lexie: is that gonna be my new nickname or something
Ryland: yeah and your stuck with it
Lexie: great
Charli: come on let's go
Lexie's pov
Charli brought me up to her room and walked over to her closet and started looking for something that I could wear and a few minutes later she handed me a white crop top with little studs on them and some ripped blue jeans it and I have to admit it was pretty cute.
End of pov
Charli: try that on and see if it fits
Lexie: thanks Charli
Charli: no problem and you can use the bathroom if you need to
Lexie: okay sounds good
(Charli leaves the room and Lexie changes into the outfit and dries her hair as best as she can and puts it in a high ponytail and walks downstairs)
Kio: come on lex we are heading to in and out to grab some food
Lexie: oh okay
(They say bye to everyone in hype and get in the triller van and start driving to in and out)
Lexie: what are fans gonna think then they just see a big ass van in the parking lot of in and out?
Anthony: (shrugs) it doesn't matter let's just go
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
We started driving to in and out while Bryce started blasting the music and we just vibed until we got to in and out and i got a burger with a coke and fries and the boys all got something similar and then just drove home and chilled the rest of the day. Noah and blake manipulated me into making a tik tok with them and then Bryce dared me to download tik tok or pay him fifty bucks which I wasn't about to do so I did and then I had to do a tik tok with josh and Jaden and within seconds it blew up and my following count rose but I didn't care because I know the only reason it blew up was because josh and Jaden were in it... which is exactly why I didn't have social media because if I did then I would only be known for being "the rockstar's little sister" or "the girl that lived with sway" and that was it just like it's always been me stuck living in the shadow of brother. That thought just pissed me off and once we stopped doing tik toks I walked upstairs to my room and grabbed my vape pen and opened my balcony door and made sure the boys weren't in the backyard before taking a few hits. I took a couple hits but soon realized that wasn't helping so I walked over to my bag and grabbed my secret stash of weed and was about to take it out when I heard my door open and I quickly zipped my bag up.
End of pov
Lexie: you know there's this magical thing people do it's called knocking
Josh: (rolls his eyes) no shit maybe I'll try it next time bud
Lexie: I think you should it's common courtesy but anyway what do you want (crosses her arms)
Josh: I just wanted to check on you, towards the last tik tok I noticed your face changed and then you sprinted up here
Lexie: oh well thanks for the concern but I am fine you can get out of my room now
Josh: alright chill with the attitude I was just asking
Lexie: well you can stop asking I am fine just wanted to be alone which I was until you bathed into my room
Josh: what did I say about the attitude this is your second warning
Lexie: fine I am sorry
Josh: good now I'll leave but if you decide to come downstairs make sure that attitude is gone understand?
Lexie: yeah
Josh: okay
Lexie's pov
Josh left my room and I took out the weed again but then I realized I wasn't going to be able to smoke it on the balcony so I put it in my pocket along with some body splash and gum and walked downstairs to see the boys chilling on the couch now.
End of pov
Lexie: can I go for a walk Jaden?
Jaden: yeah I guess but be careful and be back in an hour
Lexie: okay thanks j
(Lexie walks out of the house and goes to the park that she was at a while back and sat on the bench to light the blunt)
?: aren't you a little young to be smoking
(Lexie looks at the guy)
Lexie: mind your own business aren't you a little to old to be talking to a little girl
?: (laughs) fair enough I am Brandon
Lexie: I don't remember asking but I am Lexie
Brandon: well Lexie mind if I sit with you?
Lexie: sure why not
Brandon: so Lexie what are you doing in the middle of the day getting high?
Lexie: escaping reality
Brandon: any reason why?
Lexie: no offense but if I am not gonna tell my life story to a stranger
Brandon: so how about you take my number so we can become friends and not strangers I mean I am already friends with your brother and the boys
Lexie: wait a minute don't tell me Brandon Rowland, where's hunter shouldn't he be with you?
Brandon: nah we live right down the street I was just walking and saw you and thought I would say hi
Lexie: your not gonna tell him that you saw me getting high are you?
Brandon: saw what (winks at her)
Lexie: thank god
(Little did Lexie know Brandon might not be the one to expose her but someone with a camera would)
