They reached Riley's home about fifteen minutes later. Everything happened so fast. Her mom agreed to let Alex stay for awhile, as did her father, and they set him up a room in the spare bedroom. The following week they went to enroll him in school, the same school Riley went to. A couple weeks later, Riley's mom brought up the idea for Alex to just live with them, after not having found anything out about his family. 

[b]TWO MONTHS LATER[/b]

Riley did not feel like getting up and getting ready for school that morning. She had to stay up later all night cramming for a big English exam she had that day. She didn't both taking a shower, but just pulled her hair up in a messy bun and wore skinny jeans with a cream colored sweater and brown boots. It was mid-winter, so the weather outside was nippy, but other then a crappy school year, everything at home seemed to be going good. Alex was adjusting okay to everything, and school. Once she was ready, she skipped downstairs and grabbed a banana. "Morning, Mom, Morning, Dad." She said, smiling. "Is Alex up yet?" She asked, pouring herself a glass of orange juice. 

"I'm not sure. Alex!" Riley's mom called from the bottom of the stairs.
