Lexxie heard a knock on her door and almost screamed until she heard Jimmy's voice. She swore if it was her mother again, she'd freak out. Lexxie hopped up, her toes freshly painted, and jumped into a pair of shorts. "Yeah," Lexxie said, opening the door. "I gotta get a pack of smokes anyways."<br/><br/>Alexxis closed her door behind her and headed down the stairs. "I'm leaving mother," Lexxie said. "To where?" their mother called after her. "As if it's any of your business, right?" Alexxis grabbed her keys off the end table and turned to face Jimmy, "Let's go."<br/><br/>Lexxie pressed the "unlock" button on her keychain and hopped in her car, waiting for Jimmy to climb in the passenger side. "You know, sometimes I can't stand that woman," she said outloud, more to herself than to Jimmy. Before Jimmy even had his door shut, Lexxie had the car started and was already recklessly backing out. She sped down the street, stopped at a red light, and opened the glove compartment, pulling her lip shimmer from it's case. She sat there for a moment, applying lip gloss in her rearview mirror.<br/><br/>Alexxis hadn't even noticed the light turn to green until nearby cars were honking at her. She just stuck her middle finger out the window and sped down the road. It took less than a minute for her to swing into a gas station, pay for cigarettes, and have one already pressed to her lips. "I hope you're not going to be late," she said, exhaling rings of smoke.<br/><br/>Lexxie turned the car on and pulled out of the gas station, speeding her way to his karate practice.
