Alessi had been spending a lot of time on the internet. Any free second she had was spent on the computer. She even stopped painting.
She finally revealed why early one Saturday morning when she called her sons outside to talk.
"So guys," said Alessi excitedly. "I think I found a new boyfriend!"
"Oh hey!" cried Gray, running up to his mom. "That's great!"
Jack narrowed his eyes. "When did you meet him, excalty? You haven't left the house all week!"
Alessi sighed. "Well, sweetie," she started. "I actually met him online."
"What?!" cried Gray. "Isn't that kind of... dangerous?"
Alessi shook her head. "He's a great guy, really."
"Uh huh," snapped Jack. "Do you even know his name?"
"Oh..." said Alessi thinking quickly. "Ummm, well... his, um, username is RainingMan0726..."
"That's not what I asked," Jack pointed out.
"Ms. Bright!" cried Damien, who was swimming in the pool. Alessi turned around, surprised, and Damien shouted out, "My mom has a new boyfriend, too. If he makes you happy I think that's all that matters."
Alessi blinked. "Thanks, Damien. I didn't know you were in there."
Jack started to jump up and down. "Hey mom, can I go in the pool with Damien?!"
Alessi shrugged. "Sure, but we're going to finish talking about this later."
"Okay!" cried Jack, before spinning into his swimsuit and jumping into the pool.
"Hey jack!" cried Damien. "I bet I can hold my breath longer than you!"
"Can not!" Jack jokingly argued. "I'll beat you in a holding your breath contest any day of the week!"
"Let's go then!" Damien exclaimed before they both dove under.
"Be careful boys!" Alessi called, though she they probably couldn't hear her. She turned back to Gray and asked, "So, your okay with this?"
"With them swimming?"
Alessi laughed. "No, with me dating a guy I met on the internet."
Gray shrugged. "I'm going with what Damien said. I'm glad your happy with this guy. Love is love."
"Oh no," cried Alessi. "It's not love. It's just online dating."
"Well, reguardless," said Gray. "If you feel like this is right, then go for it. Just be careful."
Rayen had been keeping herself busy with her baby sister, Cassie. Even though Lorelai was often with them, Rayen was always the one feeding, cuddling, and singing to Cassie. She didn't like to share her baby with anyone, even her mom. Cassie, in turn, adored her older sister. She walked her first steps only when Rayen asked her to, and her first word was even her sister's name.
Rayen loved her little angel. Cassie was her best friend as far as she was concerned. She was all she had. Rayen didn't have any friends, except for maybe her little brothers. But no one at school would really talk to her, and although she wasn't really sure, she suspected that it may be because of Gray.
Cassie evantually got sleepy, however, and Rayen was forced to put her down for a nap. Suddenly bored, she went outside and hopped on a swing. A second later, Damien, who was dripping from being in the pool, did the same.
"Hey Dame!" said Rayen. "What happened to Jack?"
Damien shrugged. "His mom wanted him to eat something." He paused, kicked his feet out, and then looked back at Rayen. "Hey, can I ask you a question?"
Rayen shrugged. "Yeah, sure"
"What's a bitch?"
Rayen's eyes grew wide. "Wha... wha... what?"
"Well, Gray called you one," said Damien, now a little embarassed. "And then you got all angry at him."
"You heard that?" cried Rayen, surprised. Damien nodded, and Rayen sighed. "Well, it's a rude thing to call a girl. And you should never call someone that."
"Oh." Damien said. Suddenly losing intrest in the subject, he asked, "You okay? You look kinda sad."
Rayen shrugged. "I just have a lot on my mind, I guess."
"Go for a walk and clear your head," Damien suggested, before jumping up off of the swing. "I gotta go get dressed now. Douglas is taking me and Jack to a baseball game."
"Have fun!" exclaimed Rayen as Damien hurried on inside. She then leapt up, and started to walk down the street.
She was actually glad that Damien suggested a walk, it did a lot to clear her head. Unfortunetly, she walked right past the school, where Gray was hanging out with his friend, Henry.
"Woah, look at that," laughed Gray. "Rayen is off on a little walk, isn't she?"
"Come on!" snapped Henry. "Leave her alone."
"I don't see why a should," sneered Gray. "She's never left me alone."
"I always see you picking on her, not the other way around," Henry pointed out. "Besides, she is kinda hot."
Gray rolled his eyes. "Henry, dude, you can do waay better than that horrible little witch. Trust me, she's not worth any effort."
Henry shrugged but didn't say anything.
Gray laughed. "I'm going to go after her."
"I think she wants to be alone." warned Henry.
"She doesn't deserve to be alone," snapped Gray before running off in the direction Rayen went.
Rayen went off the road and went on a beautiful hike through the hills of Twinbrook.
Rayen discovered an abandoned mine a few miles from her house. She was happy about such a discovery, as it could be her own private place.
She heard a low chuckle and the hair stood up on the back of her neck. She whipped around and saw Gray standing there, laughing at the fact he followed her all the way there without her noticing.
"You freak!" screamed Rayen. "You stalker! You FOLLOWED me here?!"
"Yep," Gray chuckled.
"You are a complete sicko!" wailed Rayen.
"You tortured me!" snapped Gray. "Made me miserable! Now guess what.... your the one who's miserable!"
"We were children!" yelled Rayen. "You aren't making any sense! Miserable? You were not miserable! I picked on you occasionally! That's it! And the fact that you are taking it personally like that..." she paused and looked up into Gray's face.
There was something in his eyes, and it wasn't hate. It was... it was.... she wasn't sure what it was.
And then it happened.
Neither was sure what went down just then. All they knew for sure was that Gray leaned in and kissed Rayen, and Rayen didn't try to push him away.
Will Rayen and Gray get even more romantic?
Will there be more fighting?
Will Alessi's new man be hot?
All will be revealed in the next episode of... CHEATERVILLE!!!!
