Sex Wars

Chapter Two

A/N: Hey people!! I know in the prologue it says that Mona moved away, but I decided for her to stay with Lei, and just be out all the time. Also, I love Echosmith by the way, as it mentions it in the story! Enjoy!

"I don't understand, Lei. Why won't you talk to me?" He asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Because I don't wanna talk, okay?!" I crossed my arms.

He pushed me against a wall and put his arms on either sides of me. "Then don't speak. We both won't."

He leaned in and--

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed, sitting up. I let out a sigh in relief when it was just a dream. No, a nightmare. I swung my legs over the bed, and pushed myself up. When I checked the clock, it read: 7:05am. Ugh, splitting headache. Must. Take. Tylenol.

Right when I was about to open the door, Mona burst inside. "What the hell happened, Lei?! I heard screaming!" Are you alright?" she rubbed my shoulders frantically.

"I'm fine just a bad dream," I sighed, "I dreamt that...that...you-know-who and I...kissed."

Mona gasped in horror;not one trace of sarcasm. "That bad, huh?"

I nodded. I can't believe I had a nightmare about my worst enemy and I...kissing. These nightmares are getting worse! He's in almost every single one of them! That had to be the worst. I'm so glad I moved away when I did.

Changing the subject, I asked Mona where the others were. "Oh they've been up. Not that long though. I mailed out those packets, by the way."

"Oh cool! So, what are we doing today?" I asked.

Mona yawned, "Well, your parents said that you have some dinner with new neighbors. I won't be home until ten, so I'm mist likely gonna miss out. I'm going to an Echosmith concert!"

Ugh, Echosmith. I still don't know why Mona even likes that band.

By the disgusted look on my face, Mona nudged my shoulder. "Hey! They're a great band! There's something wrong with you, Lei."

"Bye guys!" Mona, Sophie, and I waved to everyone else. Sophie and Mona were going to the concert while I got the chance to have dinner with the new neighbors. I was so excited to see who was across the street from us.

"Okay, Lei, I'll see you soon! Camp, remember?" Sophie smiled.

"Yea! Have fun at the lame concert," I laughed as I hugged her.

Both Sophie and Mona glared playful daggers at me, and we all laughed. "Have fun at the lame dinner!" Mona snickered as her and Sophia walked to the car.

I stuck my tongue out and walked inside.

"Leighla, your father and I invited the new neighbors to dinner, so dress up," my mom said from the kitchen as I strolled by.

"I know, mother. Have you met them yet?" I questioned.

"No, but now that you mention it, they look vaguely familiar! I only saw them from across the street, so I don't know."

I stared at her, then shrugged. "I guess we'll find out," I smiled.

Once I finished polishing my nails red, I ran upstairs to put on something for tonight. I opened my closet and started tossing a bunch of clothes on the ground.

"No, too sexy, no, too childish, no too... wait a minute, this is perfect!" I held out a crimson silk one-sleeve I bought last month. It was long and formal, but not too formal.
