Living on the Wild Side

Lexie Perez, 14-year-old sister or Lola Perez. Basically Lola's shorter self. Becomes best friends with Katy Cooper, is already friends with Trey Anderson. (With Lexie) "LEXIE!" my sister yells. "What do you want from me woman!" I shouted back at her, she's been calling me for the last ten minutes for absolutely no reason. "We need to leave, like now! Come on or I'm gonna be late to take my painting in!" I groaned and she mock groaned back. I grabbed my headphones and phone, then answered my annoying older sister's calls. We were headed to some college thingy for her, I'm surprised she is even trying knowing she has failed multiple times in the past. When we did get there, I was in slight awe, the place was huge. "I know, it amazing." She laughed and nudged my shoulder. "Whatever." I scowled back at her. We bought some smoothies and sat in a big waiting room. I sat down heavily in a chair as Lola and some pretty blonde chick talked to a guy and handed their works. On my phone was a let's play video for Castle War 7. It's a good game and I like violent things. This blonde sat up straight, her white shirt tucked into her short skirt. Just looking at her you could tell she was a rich kid. Stuck up mommy and daddy's girl, ew. "What's your name?" Lola said to her. "Jenny Parker, you?" "Lola Perez, this little kid here is my sister Lexie." I scoffed at her calling me a little kid. The dude came back with his boss dude, the blonde and Lola jumped up and slammed into each other, their phones tossed to the ground, Lola's smoothie all over her and the white rug underneath them. "Great going klutz." They muttered to each other as they dropped down to pick up each other's phones. Idiots. I totally should have said something about it but I wanted to see where this would go. Either way, I was crying from laughing at their stupidity. The four peeps had a conversation that I should have listened knowing Lola would forget but was too lazy to. When we did eventually get out of there Lola was getting a ticket placed on her jeep. Oh boy, did I start laughing up a storm. She tried to reason with him but it was no use, then her/ Jenny's phone rang. Hello? Jenny, are you sure you don't know someone who can babysit? I'll pay double. Um, my dear friend Lola and her sister can. They are very responsible Oh, thank you! I'll send them over. "Get in." Lola demanded. "What did you get us into this time?" "We're babysitting." I groaned, "Are you kidding me?!" As we reached the house I was listening to music. Lola knocked on the door and a small girl with a helmet opened it, then slammed it shut again. A few minutes later "I'm so sorry!" A woman from inside said, at first I didn't recognize her but after while it hit me. "Mrs. Anderson! Hi! Totally didn't recognize you." "Hi, Lexie! Nice to see you again. Um, Lola was it? This is Bobby, he needs to finish his cupcakes for the junior chef competition. AJ is sulking because of the roller derby, keep an eye on Trey, he's upstairs. Oh, and this is Lady Marmalade, she had a big competition tomorrow so she needs to be stress-free. Yes, no stress for my baby. Stove and Hottub are off limits and I hate to ask but can you throw in a load of laundry?" She left with her husband soon after she finished explaining. "Hey." Bobby said and tapped me on the shoulder. I looked at him and gave a small smile. "Can you taste my frosting?" I dipped my finger in lightly and tasted it. "It's good but I think it's missing something." "I know but I can't find the right ingredient." I nodded at him. "Here let me help. Lola was doing the laundry and then came out in a blue swimsuit. "Pool's out back right?" Bobby nodded in response. Bobby and I pretty much gave up on finding something so he disappeared into the kitchen while I sat in a chair in the living room. When I looked over the kitchen was ablaze. "Bobby, your mom said to NOT use the stove." AJ started hitting the window trying to get Lola's attention. She came running inside. "Hey Lola, you're the oldest. Do something." I shouted to her. "Fire extinguisher?!" Jenny's phone rang and AJ answered. Lola and I put out the fire and Lola went to get her camera. "Guys, lock the door so she can't get back in." I whispered. The two kids laughed. My sister was punching the door, shouting for us to let her inside. Then, Lola busted in with Jenny and two other girls, the one was super young and the other about my age. Lola was taking some pictures while Jenny was shouting at her. "Hey," The girl around my age said, "Where's Trey?" My eyes widened, I forgot we were supposed to watch him closely. I sent him a quick text. Trey! Where are you!? I knew he was grounded but I also know he stole his stuff back. Umm, not heading to the Pizza place then heading to a concert Trey are you serious??? Yeah, why? My sister is your babysitter Don't tell her, I'll get killed. Whatever, you are soooo lucky you're my best friend. I won't tell her but they're gonna be looking for you Thanks, Lex. If they do, don't tell them. Let them find me on their own. Done deal. Wait for me at Mario's though, I'll sneak away and head there later. Double done deal! That girl and I went into Trey's room to look for him. "What's your name?" She asked. "I'm Lexie." "Emily." We walked back downstairs and Lola and Jenny were fighting again. "Hey! Guys! He's not here!" "We checked his tablet, he's headed to buy concert tickets from Tiny's Pawn Shop." Lola sighed out, "Well at least he ain't dead." "All I have to do is take the car to the city and get him." Jenny whispered. "We know the city, we'll get him." Lola shot at her. "No! You're the ones who lost him!" Jenny shouted back. I was tired of them arguing all the time. "Hey! Shut up! Let's all just go to the city and get him." "No, your parents would kill me." The blonde said. "They'll kill you when they find out a total stranger is watching us." Bobby reminded. I smirked know what would happen next. "And who's gonna tell them?" she asked. Bobby, AJ, Emily, the little girl now known as Katy, and I smiled at each other and then the two oldest girls. Jenny sighed, "Anyone have to go to the bathroom?"
