I debated whether to lock myself in my room or fake sleep. I went back to bed, and woke up around 1pm. I was really hungry, I tried finding my stash of snacks but I guess I ate it all. I open my door slightly and see if anyone is in the hallway. No one was there so I went downstairs, I peeked to see if anyone was in the kitchen and no one was there. I start to make myself a bagel

"Good morning" Andrew said

"Ahh" I yelled

"You scared me" I replied still shocked

"Sorry, didn't mean to, but we need to talk about yesterday" he said with a serious tone

"What about yesterday, I don't remember anything" I said nervous. It doesn't seem like it's about the Instagram picture.

" I know you saw us yesterday outside with people" he said looking at me.

I finished putting cream cheese on my bagel and without think I tried running to the stairs to lock myself in my room. Well I tried but didn't make it, I tried running past Andrew but instead he grabbed me. He pushed me towards the couch.

"Why even bother running Im faster then you" he said

"Whatever" I mumbled

"So what did you see last night" he said

"Nothing, I swear" I said

"Don't lie to me, you know I don't like lying." He said eyeing me. That sent shivers down my spine, his glare scares me.

"Fine, I went downstairs because I woke up and I was hungry, I saw the backyard lights on and then I saw you four and other guys. At first I didn't see the guys so I was gonna go outside to see what you guys are doing then I saw the guys. Then I saw you glaring at me, and you gave that 'don't come outside look' so I went back upstairs." I said ranting

"Ok, next time we are outside with company don't come out unless one of us tell you. We will introduce you to people, but everyone else you won't talk to." He replied 

"But why can't I talk to some other people" I was curious, what are they hiding.

"Well there are bad people who want to hurt our business and is willing to do anything" he replied cautiously.

It seemed like he wasn't trying to slip anything out, but I know they are hiding something. I will find out what they are hiding.

"O-ok, anything else you want to tell me?" I questioned him

"No, nothing else you can go back to your room if you want" he replied looking at his phone texting someone

I got up and started making my way back to my room

"Oh and next time don't go down the hall Aidan told you not to, this is a warning and luckily it's coming from my but next time it will come from Aidan and you know how Aidan is" he said looking at his phone still.

Shit how did he know. What else does he know.

"Umm, I was looking for you guys, but I heard voices down that hall" I said walking away

"Well if you can't find us, text us instead but don't go the hall" he replied glaring at me. His glare will always haunt me

"Ok, sorry" I started going up the stairs towards my room.

They are for sure hiding something from me. I need to find out, but if they can find out  I went down the hall how will find anything out.

I started getting bored in the house and it was only 4pm. I went downstairs and say Jaden.

"Hey" Jaden replied looking up from his phone

"Hi" I said walking into the kitchen

"Umm, quick question could I take the golf car and see if there are any kids in the neighborhood?" I asked

"Yeah, sure just be back before 6" he replied looking up from his phone

"Ok thanks" I said walking up the stairs.

I got ready and changed into this

I went downstairs and grabbed the golf cart keys and a pair of home keys

I went downstairs and grabbed the golf cart keys and a pair of home keys. I started to drive around the neighborhood. I went to the park, and saw a group of kids my age at the tennis court. I didn't know whether to talk to them or just drive away. I decided to drive away, but one of the guys noticed me

"Hey, I've never seen you before are you new to the neighborhood?" The same guy who is tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Yeah, I moved from New York" I replied shyly

"Ohhh, that's far" he said

"Yeah, it was a sudden move" I replied

"Here come join us" he said

I walked towards them and sat down.

"You guys this is, umm, what's your name" he asked

"It's Alexis" i replied

"Ok, this is Sean, Alex, isabella, Audrey, and I'm jack" jack said.

"Hi everyone" I replied

"Welcome to the neighborhood" jack said

"So why did you move to LA" Sean asked

"I moved here to be with my family" I lied. I mean it was somewhat true

"Oh that is cool" sean replied

"So what do you like to do?" Isabella asked

"Umm I play basketball for 12 years" I said, I didn't know what else to say.

"Ooo cool, I also play basketball" Audrey said.

"So what school are you going to" Alex asked

"I'm going to Beverly high private school"

"Oh cool, we all go there we can show you around" jack said.

"Thanks that's nice of you guys" I said and smiled at them.

We talked for some more, and we all go to know each other. Isabella plays soccer and volleyball, Sean, Alex and jack play basketball and baseball. The sun set down and I checked the time it was 6:30

"Shit I'm late, sorry guys I gotta go thanks for everything" I said while getting up and going towards the golf cart

"What are you late for" jack asked

"My brothers wanted my home at 6, I'm gonna be in so much trouble, I'll text to you guys later" I said while putting my keys in.

"See you later" they all said

I drove back home and opened the door. I saw all four of them at the door.

"So where have you been" Aidan asked

Uh oh, I'm in trouble
