Mated at first sight

Chapter 6

Kristin went to school this morning, she had a later class than I did, at 10, I think. So, when she woke up, she turned on the music to listen to some pop music. Which was not a nice way to wake up, even if it was the second time. Now don't get me wrong I like pop music sometimes, I mean I like Justin Timberlake, but not early in the morning before I had my coffee. I'm more of an old school music kind of girl, like Bon Jovi and Queen and I kind of like country music in the morning. When she realized I was still at home and not yet at school she asked why, of course. So, I just said my neck hurt and that was believable enough. I mean it kind of does, not the kind I expected it to hurt, more like a tingling feeling. It's kind of irritating to be honest.

When I finally got out of bed, deciding I couldn't go to sleep for the 3rd time this morning, I went to the bathroom to do my business. Got the braids out of my hair, now it was flowing in waves around my face and not the boring straight hair I had normally. I just put on some mascara and went to my closet. I picked out a navy-colored sweatshirt and some light blue skinny jeans to wear today. I got dressed and put on my converse shoes.

Just like Alex said he would, at exactly 11 am the doorbell rang. I don't know how he does it. Every time he comes over, he is exactly on time, not a minute to early or late.

I walked over to the door and opened it. There was Alex standing in a pair of navy jeans and a slim fit blue shirt. His style was different from Ashton, he always wore black jeans with holes and a leather jacket. Wait, why am I even comparing the two. They are nothing alike. And why am I even thinking about Ashton. I was suddenly literally snapped back to reality when Alex snapped his fingers.

"Hey Evie, are you all right? You looked kind of lost for a moment there."

"Hey Alex, yeah I am okay" I let him inside and gave him a quick hug. I suddenly had this weird feeling that I had to stay away from him, but just ignored it. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"No that's okay, are you sure you are all right?" he asked once again

"Jeez Alex I AM FINE, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU" I shouted, he looked shocked for a moment "oh my god, I am sorry, I don't know what happened. I'm never this short tempered" I was shocked at my own reaction

"It's okay, it is probably because Ashton has a short temper and you're starting to share his emotions and feeling. But to answer your previous question, we don't have time to get something to drink now. We could stop bye Starbucks on the way to get a coffee to go?" He replied, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"But I don't want to share anything with Ashton, I just want him out of my life" When I said that there was a sharp pain near my heart and held onto it. I looked at Alex with a scared look "What is happening to me Alex?"

"I am sorry I don't know, that is what we are going to figure out by going to the elders. Let's just go now and we will go to the mcdrive for a coffee."

"Yeah sure"

At the mcdrive I just got a cappuccino, a McMuffin BLT & Egg, a Croissant, some fruits, and apple juice. I really wanted fries with it, but Alex convinced me that no one should eat fries in the morning. Not that I'm really convinced, I mean is it ever too early for fries? Alex just got a McMuffin with Bacon & Egg and a coffee.

"I still don't understand how you can eat that much and still be as thin as a rake. Seriously how can a human eat this much?"

"I dotnaht knwahtwow" I said while eating

"What?"

I swallowed my food "I said I don't know; it has always been like this. There are just some people who eat more and stay thin. I guess I am just lucky?" I spoke
