We walked towards the shed and Dale greeted each one of them while I stood behind him. I saw a woman who was staring intently at me. Her face looked familiar and then realization hit me. She looked exactly like Alex; I figured she might be his mother.
"This is Yzavela, my friend," Dale said when he was done greeting them all.
"Oh, do you mean your girlfriend?" An older man said with a teasing smile on his face a d everyone laughed.
"Oh no, no, I am just a friend," ai said correcting him. I didn't want anyone thinking that Dale and I are a thing. I know how Dale is when it comes to girls and I didn't want to be one of his victims and I didn't want them to think of that as well.
"A friend, huh," The woman said and I turned to Dale.
"This is Lexy, she's Alex's mom," Dale said proving
