Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J

Chapter 102

Chapter 41: Grumpy Felix, Quiet Alex and Chasity's Calix I smoothed my hair back nervously.

"Hey again," I said, no longerable to pretend to be interested in the ceiling.

The girl just looked at the floor.

"Don't be rude, Charity," said Mom authoritatively Alex had taught me that word: authoritatively.

Alex taught me a new word everyday, a really big one.

He said we needed a big vocabulary or in his words "an extensive lexicon" for when we became

Alphas and had to make speeches in frontof the whole pack.

"It's Chasity,” mumbled the girl.

Finally! Her name.

Chasity.

Mom walked off.

She had not heard the girl.

"I never had a sleepover with a girl before," / told Chasity.

Chasity gave me a really weird look.

She was still crying.

"Um, you can have my bed and will take the sleeping bag okay." I told her.

"Both have dinosaur print so it's equal," added in case she was wondering.

Chasity was quiet.

I wanted to hold her hand so I did but she yanked it away / blushed.

I was not as smooth as Felix or Alex/ had moved too fast.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

Should I tell her I thought she was cute? "Um, I think..."/ said.

"Calix," said Mom, coming back into the entrance room.

"Leave her alone.

Go to your room." "But I didn't do anything!'1/ whined.

This was so unfair.

Mom practically never punished me.

"Just go," said Mom, being totally unfair for no reason.

Chasity was sniffling.

I had a handkerchief.

Mom said proper gentlemen had handkerchiefs.

Felix said handkerchiefs were for girls but this handkerchief was green! It was not pink oranything.

"Here," / said.

She took it.

I was relieved.

"I have to go to my room," I said.

"I usually don't get in trouble." I wanted her to know that.

“Calix/" Shrieked Mom.

"Ok, we'll talk later," / said to Chasity as / headed upstairs.

1 spotted Alex and Felix spying on the landing.

"Do Alex and Felix have to go to their rooms too?" / asked.

"You snitch!" Yelled Felix.

Ha! As if I was gonna go to my room and let them talk to Chasity.

She was my friend.

She had my handkerchief and everything.

"Felix and Alex, go to your rooms," demanded Mom in her no-nonsense tone.

I winked at Chasity before I left but she did not even notice.

Alex frowned at me.

I felt guilty for getting him in trouble but he could try to steal my friend too.

In the upstairs hallway, I made something clear.

"Look, Chasity is my friend.

She's here to hang out with me." I said.

"What?" Grumbled Felix.

“You know her?!"

Alex looked surprised.

"Um, yeah," /lied.

Alex folded his arms.

"From where?" Asked Alex.

Felix folded his arms.

"Yeah, from where?" Snapped Felix.

"From...

none of your business.

It's private between me and Chasity," / said.

Felix rolled his eyes.

“Chasity," repeated Felix, stroking his chin.

"That's a nice name." "Yeah, we're having a sleepover," I said proudly.

"What? With a girl?" Asked Felix, looking kinda impressed.

My chest swelled with pride.

"We're not allowed to invite girls for sleepovers," said Alex, shocked.

"Chasity and I are really mature.

Mom made an exception," / said.

That was believable.

Mom always bent the rules for me.

"That's totally unfair! Mom lets you get away with everything!" Hissed Felix.

"It is a bit unfair, Calix," said Alex reasonably.

I felt a bit guilty "II my sleepover turns out really awesome, Mom will probably let you guys invite girls to another sleepover,” / explained

Felix lookedlike he liked the sound of that.

"You have someone to invite?" Asked Alex, looking at Felix.

"Yeah!" Said Felix.

"Who?" I said, my curiosity peaked.

"Chasity," said Felix simply.

I got really mad.

"My Chasity?" I said.

Felix nodded and laughed in my face.

I shoved him.

And he shoved me back.

We scrambled and wrestled but Alex parted us.

"Cut it out!" Yelled Alex.

"You'll make Mom come upstairs and she'll make us stay in our rooms longe "I wanna go spy on Chasity,"said Felix.

"Spying is against the rules, right Alex?” I said, knowing Alex always followed the rules.

He would back me up.

"Um...this is a special circumstance," said Alex, shocking me.

Felix was pleasantly surprised.

"Ok, let's go check her out," said Felix.

"Chasity has chickenpox!" I blurted out.

Felix looked like he did not believe me.

Alex looked worried.

"Really?" Said Alex.

I nodded.

"Where are they then?" Asked Felix.

"They're not on her face or hands that's all." / said.

She had been bundled up in this weather.

Alex and Felix were starting to believe me.

"I'm the only one who had chickenpox already," / said.
