Chapter 1: Goin' to the mall
A school like all other schools, a neighborhood like all others, and a town like no other, all come together here in this one huge event...summer vacation.
"It's time to get up, Alex!", Alex's mom shouted from the kitchen, which was not that far from where Alex was. He had slept in the living room, as he always does during summer, it was 11:30 in the morning and Alex woke up, and glanced at the living room mirror, ruffled his hair and went into the kitchen.
"Hi ma", he walked towards the cupboard in the kitchen and grabbed some cereal, then some milk from the fridge, and sat down.
"Anyone up yet?", Alex asked, and he grabbed his hat and put it on, like he always did, the hat was given to him by a friend, and he is proud to wear it.
"Take off that hat Alex.", Alex's mother was busy getting toast and coffee ready, but she hated the hat that her son wears, it looks terrible in her eyes.
"I don't wanna, it's special to me. Are we gonna go to the lake today?"
"I'm not sure, but weren't you going to the mall today?", Alex's mom sat down and started at her breakfast.
"Oh yeah! I forgot! Thanks ma, I need to get ready, can you give me a ride? If not I'll walk...", Alex sat up and put the plate next to the sink, went to the living room, put the blankets and pillow away and went to sit at the table before getting ready.
"I can't take you, so you got money?"
"No, I just wanna hang there for a while I'll be ok, I better get in the shower."
Alex here is 15 years old, he just passed the 10th grade at his local school and he feels weird being so young in such a high grade. He is about 5'9" with semi-short black hair and dark tan skin (probably because he is Puerto Rican). Alex is a gay kid who came out of the closet about 2 years before, which he had been hiding since he was 10, he was made fun of and ridiculed, but now he's kinda popular, which makes him happy. He just recently broke up with his boyfriend, mainly because he thought it was best for the time. He was a very different person in 8th grade though, he was incredibly suicidal and very mentally unstable, add that to ADHD, and you got a problem. If it wasn't for a friend in 9th grade, he wouldn't be alive today, he loves this girl like a sister, and if he was straight he'd definitely go out with her, but he's not, so there. Anyways this girl basically saved his life and he wants to make sure that she gets every thing that he owes her for everything she did for him. He has 3 brothers, Bill, Danny, and Omar, all of which are younger than Alex. They pick on him and Alex doesn't mind, he doesn't like being in charge anyway, Bill is in charge and that gets rid of a lot of responsibility. Alex's ex-boyfriend is now a thing of the past and he will hardly be mentioned. His name is Leon. Alex's savior's name is Jessica. (The girl that we were talking about earlier)
As Alex walked out of the shower, Duke, a little white Chihuahua with a brown streak down it's back, the dog's name is actually Duke 2, but we just called him Duke, his first dog was run over 3 years earlier, he shares a birthday with the new dog, that was given on Christmas eve 3 years back. We still remember Duke 1; he was a wonderful dog...that he was.
"Hey Duke, C'mon, we're gonna get me dressed to go to the mall, Duke went towards Alex's mom, because the dog did indeed belong to his mom.
"Fine, see if I take you to Disney World!", at that, everyone in the room laughed.
