Me: Luke and Drew were on their way to one of their houses. Their friend Alex was nowhere to be found. Not in the city anyway. They took the usual path. I called it Monty's Path. Karen and I waited outside for a van. Karen had to get her lunch that way.
The MacKruthes' Place Grayson and Jarrett's older sister, Carmen, saw Alex. "Oh, hi there. I'm Carmen!"
"Alex."
Carmen smiled. "Ooh, nice meeting you! You kind of look like Grayson."
Jarrett decided to comment. "Alex's taller."
Alex responded. "I'm 14."
"Oh," said Jarrett. "Grayson's 13. He will be 14 this year."
"Cool."
Carmen asked Alex a question. "Why are you in this town? Just wondering."
"I just want to have the get-go from the city."
Drew and Luke were walking outside.
"Seriously," said Drew. "Where's Alex?"
Luke shrugged. "I dunno. He left our Crew maybe."
"Wow... I was wandering around the hallways trying to look for him yesterday!"
"Whatever, Drew. I'll come to your house instead of his."
"Alex is probably here with us right now. We just don't know it."
"Alex the Invisible maybe?"
"Yeah, that's a good name for him."
"Grayson, you can be me and spend time in the city with my friends Luke and Drew." Alex told Grayson what to do.
"Alex!" exclaimed Jarrett. "Are you sure you want Grayson to take your place? He's not as tall as you!"
"Yeah, I want to know how that goes."
"Grayson, do you agree with this?"
"Not really," replied Grayson. I don't want to be a Coster Imposter." Coster was Alex's last name.
"Whatever you say!"
Luke was loud this time. "Alex always makes me late for class. At least he's not here right now!"
"Hey, don't talk garbage about him. He's our friend!" exclaimed Drew.
"So, he's not here right now. Sometimes he pushes me in class!"
