Chapter 1: Meeting Him

"So you have a cousin?" i say with a humble tone.

"yeah, his name is Max. You shoukd meet him sometime. He's your age." christian informas me as if he's a host of a dating website. Well according to christian "sometime" equals "now" so im on my way to meet a stranger with my cousin. She's met him before but it's a bit hard trying to get information about him out of her because she's so wrapped up in chritian driving. She has a crush of him, and he knows it to which i respect.. highly respect. i don't see how she could openly express her feelings like that. I'm just used to being all closed up. I like having my thoughts to myself, that's why others cant hear what your saying or feeling on the inside right? It's just those crazy people who speak their mind. Like my cousin. But i respect her guts. It takes a lot to be so open, it's daring.

 

So we're pulling up to what seems to be Max's house. I'd prefer to stay in the car, but Abby, my cousin, surely wouldn't allow that.

"Lexi, c'mon!" this nag, that im almost forced to love. Abby's whiney voice is so irritating, i think that's that part that makes you get off your lazy a*s and do crap, just so you don't have to hear her ear splitting voice. So i stumble out of the car. Letting my deep shadow drag behind me. I see a guy who i assume is Max. Christian and hugs him. Ahh brotherly love. That warm sensation passes.

"Hey Lexi! Meet Max!" I swear these people are so pushy. All the forcing gives me a tingle of suspision.

"Hey!" Max's voice is a lot deeper than his appearence gives him credit for, but im underestimating this, its not like he's 8, he's a teenager, puberty has passed. So it's just my old intentions of a boy.

"Hi.." i swear im not in the mood for talking. that's just when y suspisions grow. I feel set up.

Ehh, he's kinda cute.

 

Talking doesnt go very far. I've sorta shifted out. Only paying attention when my name gets pulled into the conversation. But pther than that im off in Lexi Land finding old thoughts and making new ones. I dont understand how so many thoughts can stay in one head!

My mind is loud, sometimes too loud, my thoughts are screaming. I refuse to flush them out, it's all i have to say. I never speak my mind. It's too impracticle for me.

Just when the talking seems to die down, Max has some chit chat for me.

"So Abby's your cousin?" Max asks. well no s**t she's my cousin, can't you tell by my ignorance of her that im not very fond of her? one of the many thoughts i would never dare to say out loud. There's the biggest difference between my cousin and I. Im silent, keeping every single thought i have in my head. While she's so out there, not holding back on every word that pops into her head.

"yeah.." i respond simple.

"so how'd you meet christian?" he asks ANOTHER question.

"Umm at my cousin's birhtday party.." i respond, keeping every answer straight and simple.

"ohh.. that's cool." he says.

it's nto really cool, i just met him, its just "ok" .

that's when it gets serious and awkward and uncomfortable..

"Your pretty." he says all shy.

What the hell? For  first impression i would probably say creepy. you meet a person, have a 3 sentance conversation, and tell them their pretty. i dont take compliments well, mainly because im not used to them... so i still respond simple, but i dont want to respond simle, i want it to be oh so complicated, maybe scare him away more than he's scared me.

"thanks..." and of course complications are denied...

It doesn't suck! I thought it was pretty well done :)

[Richy Moon]

To tell the truth, it doesn't suck at all. Yeah, it was rushed a bit, but you could still get the main point of the writing.
It is a good start to a new book, and I would only say to you to "Keep on writing"!

[AngelsDontCry]

Very... interesting. In a very good way. I like how you made "Lexi" the typical "I dont give a crap" teenager :) Very nice. Loved it. xx
