In It Together→Book Two (SEQUEL)

Part One→Chapter Three

After school, Alex shot a message to the group chat, asking if they wanted to meet up somewhere. Raidon responds to the GC first. 'Yeah, where are we meeting up?' he asks in the chat. Harley responds too. 'I'm down'.

Alex smiled, waiting until everyone was done typing. 'Maybe my place? Or at a park or some shit.' He sent. Adriana simply put a thumbs-up emoji into the chat.

'I'll meet you at your house' Raidon sends in the chat. Harley also responds. 'I'll head there in a bit. Need to finish something up.'

'Alright, meet you guys there.' He sent. Adriana didn't respond, seeming to have been busy.

Raidon heads to his house first to change, since he's wearing a lazy outfit. Just a pair of black sweatpants and a white tank to[. He sighs slightly, tired for... many reasons. He's Raidon, after all.

Alex was just in his living room. His mother wasn't home. She was probably out with her boyfriend or something. Alex just simply sat, waiting for the door to be knocked on.

Raidon changes, wearing a pair of black baggy affliction pants with a studded belt and a gray and black shirt from the bar down the street from his house. He walks over to Alex's house, then walks up to the door and knocks on it lightly.

Alex perked up a bit before he walked over to the door, and opened it. "Oh, Raidon, hey." He smiled. "You're the first one here."

"Oh! Dope," he grins. "Who else is coming?" he asks him.

"From what I know, Harley, Adriana, and Kaiden might." He said with a shrug. "I don't know about Eve, and if you want you can invite your boyfriend. "

He nods. "That sounds good. You and Adri cool now?" he asks him, not wanting any tension here.

"Yeah, I got over it." He said with a smile. "Don't worry." Alex moved out of the door so Raidon could walk in.

Raidon walks inside. "Thanks, man," he says, walking over to the couch. "How have you and Kaiden been?" he asks him, interested in this topic.

Alex nodded. "We've been good, honestly. " He said with a smile, closing the door then joined Raidon on the couch. "I'm thinking about saving up so I can move out of this house, and Kaiden and I were thinking about buying one together. We'd both pay 50/50."

"That would be cool," he responds to him. "What types of places will you guys look for in a house?" he asks.

"We haven't talked about it too much, though I'll get back to you on that later." He joked.

He grins humorously. "Sounds good."

He nodded, and just then there was another knock at the door. Alex stood and answered it. Adriana was standing on the other side. She smiled a bit, waving a bit awkwardly. "Hey Alex," She said. Alex nodded politely before stepping out of the door. "Hey, Adri," He smiled a bit

Raidon looks up, smiling. "Hey Adri!" he calls to her, standing up.

"Oh, Raidon!" She said happily, rushing over to him. "How have you been?" She asked with a bright smile, hugging him lightly. Alex scoffed playfully. "Wow, he gets hugs but I don't?" He asked teasingly.

He hugs her back lightly. "I've been doing pretty good. Yourself?" he asks softly.

Adriana laughed a bit at what Alex had said but paid it no mind. "I've been doing pretty good too. Though school sucks-" She pouted playfully.

"I honestly like school a bit," he says. "I'm pretty alright at it. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. This shit is almost over."

She giggled softly and nodded, pulling out of the hug gently. "Yup! And I can't wait for it to be over," She smiled. "It's not that I'm bad at school or, anything either. I have a 3.3 GPA and stuff, it's just exhausting-" Alex looked at her. "3.3-? How-"
