    Tynan
    I opened my eyes sharply, jolting to sit. The whole place smelt like a burst of seasons, snowflake, sun, flowers and a keen autumn wind. Flowers sprouted from the walls, the ground a smooth grass but that didn’t matter to me, what mattered was the woman staring at me.
    ‘Mom?’
    ‘Why didn’t you stop her?’ She asked sadly averting her eyes to a pale body on the smooth grass.
    ‘Shit! Summer!’ I stood up and ran to her, her face was on the ground, her hair covering her face. The explosion burnt her dress completely, her skin paler than anything I’d ever seen. ‘What….Summer, wake up!’
    ‘She gave up her life to drag me out,’ mom muttered bitterly. ‘I don’t….’ I looked at her for help, she was staring at her hands with disbelief. ‘I still have my powers? All of them? How is that possible?’ She asked herself. She shook her head and stared at Summer. ‘No,’
    ‘Mom, what did she do?’
    ‘I….I….I….’ She shook her head. ‘I don’t know what she did but…..I don’t know.’
    ‘Gaia!’ I looked at the entrance, dad stood there with disbelief. I looked back at Summer, her words ringing in my head.
    ‘It’s nothing I can’t handle.’
    I shut my eyes, I felt nothing towards her anymore, who was she again? I stood up and folded my arms.
    ‘What do I do with her? Bury her?’
    ‘I don’t know,’ mom murmured. ‘I don’t know.’
    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nadia <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    I watched as Angus paced our room anxiously, Gale was counting his fingers, Verna crying and Eira just staring into space. Fallon, she stared at all of us with confusion, I couldn’t do anything, it was meant to happen.
    ‘How could you convince our daughter to risk her life like that!!!’ Angus finally exploded. ‘Don’t you care!!!!’
    ‘Dad please…’ Eira tried to speak.
    ‘Don’t interfere young lady!’
    ‘Well don’t yell at my mother old man!!!!’ She yelled back.
    ‘Lumi….’
    ‘No mom, don’t shush me,’ she huffed. ‘What right does he think he have to yell at you?! Who does he think he is!!! Fuck yeah he’s our dad but it’s not like he ever existed in the first place….’
    ‘Eira….’
    ‘Not until a month ago, we thought he was dead….’
    ‘Eira, that’s enough!’ Gale snapped. ‘One more word from you and I’ll shut you up for good!’ He threatened. ‘We should be here worrying about Jennifire and you’re making dad feel like shit. Is it his fault that he wasn’t around! Is it his fault that we know he’s alive now!!! Stop your selfish venting and be reasonable!’ She bit her lower lip.
    ‘Mom, what do we do? I can’t lose Adara, who’ll council me now? Who’s gonna be my best friend? Who’s gonna slap some senses into my head?’ Verna wailed.
    ‘There’s nothing I can do, we just have to wait and hope she survives it. Anila is a strong girl, I will never advice her to do it if she was Eira or Verna. Just hope.’
    ‘What am I suppose to tell my family? What?’ Dad asked shakily.
    ‘Leave that to me, for now, let’s just hope.’

    Summer
    Nine_Months_Later
    I skipped to his study gigglingly, I had my cute white bunny in my arms, I call her Clover. I met Alfredo on the way.
    ‘Good morning Alfredo Delgado!’ I squealed. He chuckled.
    ‘Morning Miss Summer, how did you sleep?’
    ‘I slept very well. Is he in?’
    ‘He’s busy…’
    ‘He’s all work and no play, I’ll fix that. Can you m….’
    ‘Make you blueberry scones, chocolate muffins and vanilla tea for breakfast? No, Master forbids you from having another sip or bite or nibble of chocolate and blueberry. The vanilla tea I can make but the rest, you’re stuck with cinnamon roll, jambalaya and French toast for breakfast. If you wish, I can make stake or bacon.’ He suggested.
    ‘I rather eat cockroaches,’ I whined and stomped to his office. ‘Bigger Clover!’ I cried running in. ‘Alfredo won’t make me….’
    ‘Yes I know.’
    ‘But….’
    ‘Leave my office….’
    ‘But….’ He slammed his book shut and glared at me. ‘The bunny sing tralalala.’ I giggled.
    ‘Summer, I’m busy.’
    ‘Then unbusy, I want to play with you.’ I pouted.
    ‘I can’t play, I’m busy.’ I rolled my eyes. Tynan is my best friend, ever since I woke up from his bed six months earlier, he had always been there for me. He told me I had no family, they all died and he never let me out of the house, always monitoring me like a hawk. I didn’t mind, not until he change a month earlier, keeping his distance away from me and avoiding eye contact. He was guilty.
    ‘You’re tired of me, I understand.’
    ‘It’s not that I’m tired, I’m not, just busy dear.’
    ‘Can I watch TV? On my own?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Can I at least get a phone?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Ohhhh!’ I stomped my feet on the ground childishly. ‘You’re not fair, come on Clover, let’s go.’ I ran out of his office, it was like he was hiding me from something. I hid behind the door and waited until Alfredo came back.
    ‘Is she in her room?’ He asked Alfredo.
    ‘No, didn’t check. Don’t you think you’re being selfish by keeping her all to yourself?’
    ‘Alfred, don’t start.’
    ‘No, let me talk sire. I understand you kept her hidden from them because you weren’t sure if she was still alive, she finally woke up but you refuse to tell them or let her go. She lost her memories but would have regained it within seven days if you didn’t selfishly cast a spell on her to forget forever….’
    ‘What’s your point!!! Are you going to try and convince me that I’m in love with her like mom is always trying to!!! I’m only trying to keep her safe!!! Seeing them will cause her a lot of pain….’
    ‘Stop deceiving yourself sire and making excuses, seeing them will restore her memories. You’re afraid she’ll leave you, that they will the consequences will keep her away from you but don’t you think that sooner or later the spell will break?’ What spell? I itched my head in confusion. ‘She deserves to know who she is, they need her back, they all do. Convincing them that she’s dead is wrong, stop.’
    ‘One more word from you Alfred and I’ll rip out your vocal cord. Now get out.’ He spat. I waited until he walked out before I snuck to meet him in the kitchen.
    ‘Alfred?’
    ‘I know you heard everything, I am not allowed to speak or he would kill me.’
    ‘Who’s them?’
    ‘Just find any of the Steinberg and say the name, Anila.’
    ‘I can’t leave the house.’
    ‘You know you can, you don’t have your gift for nothing.’
    ‘But I don’t know how to use it,’ I pouted. ‘Help me?’
    ‘I’m afraid this is as far as I can go.’ I bit my lower lip and ran to my room, I could run really fast and sometimes when I close my eyes and concentrate, I enter mirrors and find myself somewhere else. Tynan always blew a fuse whenever I used it.
    ‘Hi,’ I smiled at my reflection as I stroke Clover’s hair. ‘Where am I concentrating to?’ I mused.

    Verna
    I walked out of the mall laughing with my friends, we went shopping and it was phenomenon. Everything was almost perfect, sure I lost my powers but Cian didn’t and he still loved me. Our relationship trembled a lot but at the end, we fixed it. I finally made three normal friends, Sasha, Megan and Beverley, the sweetest girls in the whole world. We were all rich with celebrities boyfriends and famous siblings, by famous siblings I meant Gale. Hell his face made him a popular model in less than a month after Adara’s “death”, it was all he ever wanted.
    Eventually, he broke up with Fallon but later came begging when he realised that she was the only girl who really understood him.
    Eira, at first she and Dwayne didn’t break up but then he started cheating, trust Eira to show em who’s boss. She really liked him but she didn’t let it get to her, became a model with her still enchanting face, modelled all dad’s important stuffs and helped him with the companies since she’s business minded, made a huge name for herself within five months. Went to various parties and hung around guys far more hotter than Dwayne, ones she knew he was envious of and that was how she trapped him back. She is the boss of her relationship.
    ‘So, how are you all planning your birthdays?’ Beverley asked grinningly, Megan nudged her roughly. It was too late, my shoulders sagged immediately. Mom manipulated everything to make it seem like Adara was abducted and never found, though we knew what was up. It was hard for me there was no one there to share secrets with me.
    ‘Hey, don’t do that…’ Sasha whispered, they didn’t know her but they were aware enough. I wiped my tears and smiled.
    ‘It’d be great I guess,’
    ‘You should all move on, the babe’s dead.’ Beverley shrugged, I smiled, she’s too straightforward.
    ‘We’ll make it a huge party, all the stars and….’ They squealed.
    ‘What?’ I laughed.
    ‘Isn’t Gale Tynan Nore’s best friend? He can invite him!’
    ‘He hates parties, he won’t come.’
    ‘I wanna meet that mysterious masked girl be brought to the label opening months ago, she looks cute. Megan giggled.
    ‘I heard they are married,’ Sasha gossiped. I chuckled ans gasped as my eyes landed on a girl staring at my car. She had long red hair, a nice figure with a bunny in her arms. ‘Excuse me,’ I hurried to her, something pulling me closer. ‘Hey, who’re you?’ She turned, her golden yellow eyes glowing.
    ‘Hello,’ her voice, it was just like Adar’s. ‘Are you the owner of this car?’ Her eyes, I dropped my shopping bags and quickly checked her neck, nothing. ‘Hello?’
    ‘I’m sorry. This car is mine,’ I said disappointedly. ‘Who are you?’
    ‘I’m….’
    ‘Miss Nore,’ a huge man called. A set of red suited men trooped behind him. ‘We need to leave now.’
    ‘But Alfredo, I haven’t found anything yet,’ she whined hugging her bunny.
    ‘He’s looking for you and damn me when he gets to know what I did, please let’s go, I can’t hide your location for long.’ She pouted and looked at me.
    ‘Bye stranger,’ she murmured and followed the men to a freaky expensive limousine, one I didn’t notice there before.
    ‘She must be really rich.’ Beverley whispered.
    ‘Yeah,’ I smiled, it was her.

    # Tynan
    I huffed as I paced my room, Alfred had never disobeyed me before but he was because he wanted me to be happy. I sighed, accepting that I loved her was harder than smiling to everyone. The worse was feeling guilty for taking advantage of her.
    ‘Hey man!’ I chuckled, he was here again. ‘What’s up?’
    ‘How did you get into my house again? I thought I changed all the locks and asked all the guards and dogs to kill you at sight?’ He chuckled and plopped on the chair.
    ‘I’m not easy to kill,’ he grinned. ‘Where’s my sister?’
    ‘She ran away.’
    ‘What!’
    ‘Chill, Alfred is bringing her back.’ Yeah, Gale knew she was with me, he might have lost his powers but his telepathic strength was still strong. Plus, he was like an annoying boyfriend I couldn’t lie to. He came to visit me, saw her and knew instantly.
    ‘When are you returning her to us?’
    ‘Until she’s better.’
    ‘When are you going to stop lying to me?’
    ‘Three years time.’
    ‘Dude, stop manipulating her with your powers. You’re messing my sister up.’
    ‘I’m not messing her…’
    ‘You sleep with her almost every night and make her forget it. I don’t like that and don’t lie, I know. She’s my sister bro, stop messing her up before she carries a Tynan junior in there.’
    ‘I don’t know….’
    ‘Stop shitting yourself, you’re in love. I want my sister back, you’ve enjoyed her enough.’
    ‘I haven’t….I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
    ‘Nigga, keep your destroyer away from my sister.’ He laughed.
    ‘Bigger Clover!!!’ She ran into my room. ‘Bi….Big brother!’ She ran to Gale and threw herself on him.
    ‘How are you?’
    ‘Not fine, he won’t let me out so I ran away.’ She’s too childish.
    ‘Did he sneak into your room last night?’ She nodded. ‘And he touched you?’ She nodded. My eyes widened.
    ‘It was nice,’ she giggled. ‘Weird but why don’t he take permission?’
    ‘Gale! What have you been teaching her!’
    ‘Life bro, life. Babe, let me take you out, we’re going to meet our mom and restore your memories.’
    ‘But…’ I protested.
    ‘Almost a year bro, you’re not ready for marriage.’ I chuckled.
    ‘And you are?’
    ‘Fuck no, that shit is a bastard.’
    ‘Please don’t take her away from me.’
    ‘And that’s the thing, no one is. She’s always here if you need her but for now, she’s leaving.’ The main reason I was scared, the consequences of her actions was either her heart became as cold as stone or she lost her sanity. She not having her memories was the only way out for her. Watching her sleep, taking care of her made me felt something towards her but I was afraid she would hate me after she regained her memories.
    ‘What memories?’
    ‘Maybe we should tell her,’ Gale concluded. He sat her down and explained everything to her, not leaving a side out. I watched them helplessly, fear making me woozy. ‘That’s it.’
    ‘So if I regain my memories I might hate everything and everyone?’ I nodded. ‘Including Tynan bestie?’
    ‘Especially him.’
    ‘But I don’t want to hate him or be insane, I want to be happy with him and everyone.’ She sobbed.
    ‘See, she don’t need her memories.’
    ‘Tynan, she loves you a lot, you should believe in that like I believed in Fallon.’
    ‘You ditched the girl!’ I exclaimed.
    ‘You know what I mean, trust her.’ I sighed, I walked to her and crouched.
    ‘Please don’t hate me,’ I kissed her, letting the spell flow out of my lips and into her head. She pushed me off and gagged. ‘Summer?’
    ‘Gross, Tynan, why did you kiss me! Gale you just st….why am I wearing this? Is this skirt!’ She screamed frantically.
    ‘Summer,’ I tried to touch her. She shifted. ‘Yeah, trust.’
    ‘Oops, sorry.’ Gale laughed.
    ‘Back to square one,’ I whimpered. ‘She don’t….’
    ‘How many times will I say it’s nothing I can’t handle?’ She asked smirkingly. I blinked. ‘Don’t ever delete my memories dude, or I’ll delete you.’ She shrieked and clapped. ‘I have to see mom and dad and Verna! Bye guys!’ She disappeared.
    ‘What was that?’ I asked baffled.
    ‘Do you really think she’ll forget like that? She’s Jennifire. She will never do anything if she’s not fully sure. She’ll be fine and she don’t hate you. I see love but, she’s going to kill you for touching her and wiping her memories of it.’ I laughed nervously.
    ‘How bad?’
    ‘Dead bad, you’re in soup.’
    I’m sure it’s not that bad.

    FOUR DAYS LATER
    # Gaia
    I laughed as I watched Tynan struggle with a tree. Ayanna tied him to a tree, lit fire under it and then her sisters and that crazy girl ran around it chanting spells. They were going to sacrifice him to nothing. I was finally at peace knowing everything was okay, I almost ruined everything with my selfishness.
    ‘Darn it! Why can’t I use my powers!’ He cried as they flogged him. She was still powerful, not as before but strong enough to temporarily weaken his mighty powers. They were perfect for each other.
    ‘I’ve told you to stop prying.’ Nysaiah sighed blinding my mirror.
    ‘Hey! I’m missing the show!’ He arched a brow at me. ‘Fine, their lives are just too fun to watch.’
    ‘You should focus more on how we would rebuild Arundel completely and not pry on his relationship.’
    ‘Yeah, sorry, about everything.’
    ‘You keep apologizing, stop it.’
    ‘I manipulated Jasmine into thinking she was in love with him so she could remove my heart, make me very powerful, anger you so everything else would go as planned. I was selfish, unreasonable….’
    ‘Past, don’t remind me.’
    ‘So many died,’ I sobbed.
    ‘Would you prefer I lock you up for treason against Arundel? Your crimes are huge.’ I sealed my lips.
    Once upon a time I wanted power, but once upon a not so long ago, someone special stopped me from making an everlasting mistake. I can never be more grateful.

     TERRY
    I stared at the bottle nervously, I was so screwed. I shouldn’t have drugged her drink but Anila was a girl I could never get and if there’s one thing I hate, it’s losing a bet. Dwayne and I bet on her, remember?
    ‘So are you going to drink it or stand there gawking?’ Shane, one of my close nigga asked smirkingly.
    ‘Come on, you can’t double dare me, I dared you first babe.’
    ‘First of all, I’m not a babe, I’m a bro and second of all, don’t be scared……okay, drink half and I’ll drink half, fair enough?’
    ‘Why are you acting like I drugged the drink?’ I asked trying to play smart.
    ‘Trust me, not even a thousand pills will work on me.’ She said smirkingly.
    ‘Prove it,’ I smirked. She chuckled and opened the bottle. That was a close one. She drank it all in one gulp and flung it away while the guys cheered. ‘Okay, you win, she’s good.’
    ‘Hey guys!!!! Some girls are dancing naked downstairs, you guys so gotta check it out!!!’ Someone shouted.
    ‘Whoa, porn dance!’ They ran outside. ‘Terry? Ross?’
    ‘I’ll pass,’ he said staring at Anila. ‘Terry?’
    ‘I’ll pass too….’
    ‘Ross!!!! Your Nicky’s here!!!!’ Someone shouted. His eyes widened.
    ‘No way!’ He stood up and ran out leaving me with Anila who was comfortably drumming her fingers as she danced to the beat of the song. Nicky is his girlfriend, yeah, Ross has one who pampers him like a baby.
    Good though.
    ‘So, you up for a game?’
    ‘What game?’
    ‘Truth and dare….’
    ‘That child game is not fun for two.’
    ‘Fine, why don’t we talk about ourselves, I’ll start.’
    ‘I’m listening,’ she stretched and crossed her legs. ‘Start talking.’
    ‘You already know my names, who I am and what I do so we’re going to talk about sport, you in?’
    ‘I love extreme sports, I do it like everyday.’
    ‘I’m more of an average sport guy, skateboarding, snowboarding, football and waterboarding.’
    ‘So you board a lot,’ she said chucklingly.
    ‘What can I say, me and boards are like twins.’ She ought to be reacting to the drugs, it was horny pills but it wasn’t working.
    ‘I love skydiving without the parachute, mountain hiking, rocket jump…..’
    ‘Rocket jump?’
    ‘A game I invented, one where the players throw themselves off a mountain or building and die. It’s fun.’
    ‘And you aren’t dead?’
    ‘I don’t die easily, just like I don’t react to horny pills,’ she said smilingly as she stroked the back of her left hand. My eyes widened. ‘Terry, do I look stupid?’ She asked raising her eyes to stare at me with a sweet smile. ‘I’m cute, I’m fun, I’m overenthusiastic and jumpy nutty but, I repeat, but, I’m neither naive or dumb. I’m going to let this go with a warning Terry,’ I was in shock. ‘The next time this repeat itself, though I won’t let it, I’ll definitely show you what put the fire and blaze in my name.’ She stood her, her lips twisted in a cryptical sinister smile.
    If that’s even a thing.
    ‘Bye, don’t smile at me again Terry, I’m not as angelic as you think.’ With those words said, she walked out.
    Did a girl just burn me?
    No way!
    I’m still going to get you Anila, if it’s the last thing I do!
    Eira
    Guess what Dwayne and I were doing seated at a table, arm wrestling. We’d gone from one battle to the other and he kept winning over and over again so I had to “borrow” some of my dope strength to defeat him but somehow, I was losing. It was like whatever I wanted to do, he hacked into my head or whatever and do it better.
    ‘What’s the matter honey? Having trouble beating me?’ He taunted, eventually we were being videoed but caring was the last thing in my mind.
    ‘I can’t lose, I won’t lose!!!’ I shouted. Our bet was if he won, I dance with him in front of everyone. So far we had done a lot of bets I lost and asked for rematches which I also lost and his friends around insisted this one the last.
    ‘It’s not that bad, we’ve danced before in many ways,’ he winked at me. I huffed, okay, cheating time. ‘Just give up and forgive me already, I promise on your life that I won’t cheat a….’ I sent a little cold through his bloodstream, weakening him a little, enough to slam his hand down.
    ‘Yes!!!!!! I won!!!!! In your face loser!!!! Whoo!!!!!!’ I started dancing around with hands in the air as I shook my body and whooped.
    ‘Oh come on, I just want to dance…’
    ‘And I say no in the worst way….’
    ‘But I won the last ten matches, that’s one out of ten….’
    ‘Don’t interrupt my victory, I don’t care so I win, full stop.’
    ‘But….’
    ‘Nah nah nah, don’t argue, the gods have spoken.’
    ‘The gods? What fucking gods!!!’
    ‘Me myself and I, don’t argue with the gods.’
    ‘Babe, you’re not being fair, he’s nine step ahead of you.’ Another dude, don’t even know him said. I eyed him from head to toe like the sweaty tipsy trash he was and hissed.
    ‘Sorry, I don’t speak stupid.’ They laughed, I need to be nice, this might go viral.
    ‘Eira, I’m still begging.’
    ‘Don’t care, we broke up, that’s that.’
    ‘And I said I’m sorry, do you think it’s easy for me to beg?’
    ‘Then why are you begging? Nothing matters because you’re not suppose to beg a side chick.’ I rolled my eyes.
    ‘He have been begging you for almost two hours, girl don’t be proud.’ I eyed the blonde dude and smiled slyly. I sat on the table in front of him and took his hands into mine.
    ‘Do you have a sister?’ I asked staring into his eyes with my intimidating eyes.
    ‘Y….y…..y….y…’ He stammered dazedly and frighteningly.
    ‘Gold, find her a boyfriend, let him cheat on her and treat her badly even though she loves him like crazy and then let him try to hit on your other sister. After she breaks up with him and he comes begging, then you’ll see if it’s easy.’ I threw his hands away and stood up, Dwayne was glaring dagger at him.
    ‘Did you have to touch her?’ He asked through gritted teeth.
    ‘She touched him, not the other way round.’ Another laughed. I sighed.
    ‘That’s it, I shouldn’t have let my sister drag me here, I’m going home to stuff my face in cookie dough….hey Aniblaze!!!!!’ I shouted once I sight her strolling to only she knows where. We were at the backyard, a nice flowery place if I must say. ‘Excuse me.’ I ran to her, breaking into a jog when I was close
    ‘The dude kissed you yet?’ She asked teasingly.
    ‘No, he’s too stubborn….’ I gasped amidst my sentence and cupped my mouth. She laughed.
    ‘Somebody have been daydreaming,’ she sang. I frowned and rubbed the nape of my neck nervously. ‘Are you shy?’ I glared at her.
    ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I don’t…..I just….Aniblaze, what’s happening to me!’ I panicked.
    ‘Am I the only one who pays attention to things that matters, girl you’re his….he’s your beta double.’ I stared at her like she just spoke gibberish.
    ‘What kind of play is that? Stop it.’
    ‘Eira, as Cian is to Verna as Fallon is to Gale, as mom is to dad as Eira is to Dwayne.’ She said jokingly. I whimpered and stared at her like she just grew an extra head.
    ‘Aniblaze, what do I do? I need to get rid of him.’
    ‘Hold on,’ she took my hand, removed my left glove and slapped me with it. ‘Are you feeling better now?’
    ‘That stung,’ I whimpered rubbing my cheek. She slapped me with it again. ‘That’s it!’ I removed the other glove and whacked her while she laughed and tried to get away from me. I stopped as we laughed, not until something sticky smack landed on my head. I stiffened.
    ‘Uh oh,’ Ani said stepping back.
    ‘What just landed on my head?’ I squeaked as my body quivered.
    ‘Er, nothing, just napkin soaked in punch.’
    ‘Ani, truth, don’t lie.’ She removed the napkin with the tip of her long fingers.
    ‘Snot,’ she said worriedly. ‘Don’t freak out.’ Every single rope holding my anger control snapped.
    ‘Someone threw snot on my face!!!!!!!’ I roared, my voice thundering through the entire yard and maybe into the building. I clenched my fist, the top of my skin tingling as my powers rose to the surface, ready to unleash. My eyes quickly scanned for the culprit and I found them, three useless guys.
    Once I get angry, the only way to stop me was to knock me out and I wasn’t going to let Ani do that.
    ‘Eira please just let them be, I promise I’ll take care of it.’ Ani begged desperately, she held my arm. I looked at it and growled.
    ‘Get your hands off me!!!!’ I pushed her, she wasn’t expecting it so it sent her hurling to the other side of the yard in a totally none suspicious way. I stomped to the guys. ‘How dare you!!!! How dare you put dirt on me!!! Do you know how many hours I bathe!!!! How many minutes it took me to get every germs out!!!! I can tolerate anything, my annoying brother, others being filthy or hitting me but I will NEVER tolerate my siblings getting hurt and insulted or any form of dirt ministered on me!!!!’. They were just laughing. ‘You don’t laugh when I speak!!!!’ I pushed the first one hard on his chest, sending him flying and crashing on the wall six feet behind him.
    I snapped my head to the other one, grabbed his wrist and flung him over my shoulder to the nearby table, he crashed on the table, breaking it to it foundation in the process.
    ‘Babe! Calm down, the napkin wasn’t meant for you, just….’ I flipped him on the ground, making sure I whipped his body like a wet rag. ‘Aaaaaaah! Help!’ I was about to literally rip his hand out of his torso but someone touched my shoulder. I snapped my head to the direction like a snake, my whole body weakening as my eyes met his dark blue eyes.
    ‘Please Eira, stop,’ My entire body eased, the fire in my head quenching instantly. ‘Please if not for anything, for the fact that a handsome guy like me, a wonderful prince like no other is begging you to.’ I rolled my eyes, a half smile crawling into my lips. I let go of him and stepped back.
    ‘You’re not that handsome,’ I said smilingly. ‘Don’t ever try that again, anyone because I hate dirt.’ I kicked the dude’s head and gasped. ‘Ani!!!’ I ran to where I threw her to, she was seated there like a monk. ‘Ani I’m so sorry, I’m very sorry…..’
    ‘Shhhhh, I’m meditating….wait! You’re not angry anymore?’ She asked quizzically. I pointed to Dwayne, he smiled and walked to me.
    ‘Let’s get you some fresh air….’
    ‘No! I need to bathe, I’m going to need antisepsis shower gel, three gallons of soaps, two…no ten barrow of tomato paste to get the stink out….’ I listed as he pull me out. I just realised something, how would people believe the “he beats me up” theory if I just ninjalised someone.
    Humph, whatever.
    ‘I don’t think I’ll ever be clean again,’ I cried. ‘This is too much.’
    ‘Hey, stop it. Stop being so clean freaky,’ we were outside now. He took me to his car, opened the door and brought out something. ‘Hold on,’ he sprayed a liquid on a clean….I’ll pretend it’s clean hanky and wiped my head clean….almost. ‘There, good as new.’
    ‘Almost.’
    ‘Way to go ninjalino on them,’ I giggled. ‘And you said I beat you up?’ He asked jokingly throwing the bottle inside and hanky away.
    ‘Yeah, sorry.’
    ‘She finally said the S-word, she’s getting nice in me.’ He joked.
    ‘Don’t push your luck dummy.’
    ‘Can I do something that will probably make you kick my balls?’
    ‘What d….’ He spun me around fast and caged me on the car. Before I could think, his lips came crashing down on mine. I froze at first, unable to think or move or breathe. Like my body had a mind of it own, my legs weakened, my body sagging down as I deepened the kiss.
    Aniblaze was right after all.

    All in god time, bad guy still on his way and will be out either in Tue next chapter or the the next next.

    Anila
    I groaned with frustration, how stupid do you think having two sassy sisters would be? One can never get anywhere on time. Verna and Eira were still dressing up, point of correction, they were still trying to decide what to wear and we were two hours late already. Gale was upset, he wanted us out so he could have his alone time Fallon.
    ‘This one is too short, I prefer this one.’ Eira said smilingly, they were still deciding.
    ‘I think this one is better but too pink, Cian don’t really like pink.’
    ‘You should try something that will bring out your skin, make you sexy.’
    ‘Agreed….’
    ‘Can you guys decide already! Jennifire is already dressed!!!’ Gale shouted angrily as he paced around. He looked yummy.
    ‘You call what’s she’s wearing a dress? She’s wearing something stupid.’ I wore washed jeans with the lower part from the calves to the ankle lilac. I folded the sleeves of the plaided shirt I wore with brown boots. I tousled my hair and dyed it rainbow, rings on all my right fingers and spiky metal brackets on my hands and chains wrapped around my fists. I don’t look bad, do I?
    ‘Can you please remove those rings from your nose and lips? You look horrible. Your dressing is getting worst.’
    ‘You don’t like my swag Verna?’ I asked sweetly. She rolled her eyes.
    ‘Hey girls, can I come in?’ Dad asked sticking his head into the room.
    ‘Hey! You’re a fashionista!’ Eira shrieked. ‘You chose my mall dresses so you can choose what we’ll wear!’
    ‘Okey dokey!’ He walked into the room with a smile. ‘Let’s start with you Verna. What’s your favorite color?’
    ‘Pink, green and yellow.’
    ‘Is it a classy party or just normal dance party?’
    ‘Normal,’ I replied sharply. ‘I don’t know what’s up with them.’
    ‘Why don’t you just go simple? Sometimes the simplest dressing can make the greatest impression.’ He walked to Verna’s wardrobe since we were in her room. ‘You normally go floral gownie, right?’
    ‘And skirt and blousie.’ She chirped jokingly.
    ‘In that case….’ He trailed off and searched her dresses for a while. ‘Eira, can I see your wardrobe?’
    ‘It’s back in my room,’ she said gigglingly. Dad smiled and walked out. ‘He’ll probably pick something glorious, don’t you think?’ I nodded. Dad returned with his hands full.
    ‘Put this one Eira,’ he gave her a white silk gown that would probably hug her body and white knee high leather boots to match. He tossed her a white clutch bag and gloves. ‘To control your dirty phobia. Verna wear this.’ He handed her a pair of beryl jeans with baby pink side stripes, baby pink nylon off the shoulder crop top with flare long sleeves. ‘Do you have any green heels? Lucite triple straps?’ Verna nodded. ‘Good wear that.’
    ‘See! He’s so cool! Thank you daddy,’ Eira said babyishly hugging dad with a giggle. ‘At least now I know where this fool got his tiny fashion sense from.’ She said eyeing Gale.
    ‘Whatever, you all should get out now, dad you promised to take mom away…’
    ‘I know, do you girls need any help with your hairs?’
    ‘Can you style hair?’ He grinned nervously. ‘I’ll get mom.’ Eira chuckled.

    AN_HOUR_LATER
    I danced as we walked into the building, the music was fucking loud and awesome! I whooped and swayed my hips, I was still walking though. Eira was dancing with me, she was very happy. Verna was staring at her feet shyly, she’s Verna.
    ‘How do we find the guys?!!!!!!’ Eira shouted over the music. A loud burst of scream erupted from deep in the party. ‘Nevermind.’ We followed the screams to a inner room, Dwayne stood on a table dancing so awesomely as he rapped, he was a good rapper.
    ‘He’s my boyfriend,’ Eira whispered into my ear, I pushed her away with a laugh. ‘Isn’t he cute?’ He’s definitely her beta double. He sighted us at the door and waved, she rolled her eyes and walked out.
    Pretender.
    ‘Hypocrite,’ Verna giggled. ‘Hey Dwayne!!!’ Dwayne finished his song and jumped down from the table, pushing through the crowds to get to us.
    ‘Hey bro,’ I cooed giving him a slapping hand shake. ‘What’s up?’
    I’m cool,’ he said impatiently. ‘Cian’s in the upper floor, on the roof while the others are right on the floor below the roof having a drinking competition, gotta go chase the pretty girl.’ He made to run after Eira but Verna held his arms.
    ‘Don’t flirt with her, she hates it. If you want to get her attention, beat her at something.’
    ‘Like cooking and neatness?’ He smirked. ‘Don’t worry, I can handle her, thus is the best place to kiss her and clear my name.’
    ‘Don’t kiss her, she’ll kill you.’
    ‘We all must die one day.’ He shrugged and ran out, I chuckled and followed Verna up. We were at the stairs when some girls blocked our way.
    ‘And where do you think you’re going?’ The pink haired asked churlishly.
    ‘And why do you care? Babe get out of my way.’ I said smilingly.
    ‘Both of you, you and your evil sister have been stealing the attention from us, stay away from the Jacksons or you’ll have to pay the price of your disobedience.’ I looked at Verna amusedly, she looked at me back with a laughing smile.
    ‘Are human being talking or goats?’ I asked amusedly.
    ‘I believe it’s rude to refer to humans with such words so don’t call them that,’ Verna said sweetly, remember she’s very nice. ‘Buuuut, when proper humans are speaking, trolls don’t speak.’ I gasped, she did not just say that.
    ‘Are you trying to call us trolls?’
    ‘Trying?’ She laughed. ‘I’m not tryna call you trolls bitches, you are trolls. Now get the hell out of my way before I throw you off the stairs, I have a boyfriend waiting for me.’
    ‘Own it girl!’ I laughed and nudged her.
    ‘You’re playing with fire, we won’t warn you again.’ Another pink haired hissed. In fact, they all dyed their hairs pink.
    ‘This is a waste of time,’ she waved her hand, her green dust entering their eyes. ‘Walk to the middle of the party, strip and dance naked until midnight.’ They all trooped downstairs.
    ‘Since when did you become mean?’
    ‘Since the day I almost died. Being nice sucks, if I’m going to keep Cian, I need to be tough.’ She puffed out her chest dramatically to prove a point. I laughed and patted her shoulder.
    ‘Welcome to the grown up club my dear.’ She pushed my hand away and grinned.
    ‘Don’t drink, remember fire and alcohol don’t go well at all. One bottle is the least you can take except you want to burn down this building.’
    ‘I know,’ I waved her off dismissively. I don’t ever get drunk but after one litre of alcohol, I lose control over my fire and burn things down. ‘I won’t drink up to a litre….’
    ‘Don’t drink at all….’
    ‘Bye babe.’ I kissed her cheek and ran before she mom’d me. I got to the room the guys were drinking themselves to stupor. Not only them, some unfamiliar expensive looking faces. ‘Hey guys!!!!’
    ‘Aniblaze!!!!’ They shouted, at least Terry and Ross did. ‘Welcome, what’s up?:
    ‘I’m cool, how ya all hanging?’
    ‘Super cool. Wanna join the competition?’
    ‘Nay, mom said the next time I drink, she’ll send me to Australia.’ I said jokingly.
    ‘They aren’t here…’
    ‘Not drinking.’ Terry bit his lip, he was planing something for me.
    ‘Okay, just one cup or two?’
    ‘No, I’m good.’ I sat in their midst and waved. ‘Hey guys, I’m Anila.’
    ‘Terry, who’s this crazy girl?’ One asked smilingly.
    ‘This is Anila, younger sister to Cian’s new girl and the hot chick that fucked Dwayne up.’ Terry introduced sitting beside me.
    ‘Cool, she’s pretty and deadly, I like my girls spicy.’ I winked at him to annoy Terry, he laughed. ‘I’m Rage, rapper, don’t you know mW?’
    ‘Don’t really care but you look cool, you have a girlfriend?’
    ‘Just one crazy bitch in Florida now.’
    ‘Would she mind if I borrow you for the night? It’s a shame she’s not here to watch over you.’ I said flirtatiously shifting closer to him, Terry pulled me back and glared at him.
    ‘Back off Rage, seems like Terry got his eyes on this one.’ A guy with hairy arms slurred. I smiled and served myself with a cup of sherry. Terry took it and gave me a bottle of beer.
    ‘I dare you to drink this all up.’ I sniffed the bottle and smirked, he drugged it. I knew he was an ass but I didn’t expect him to be an ass ass ass ass.
    Well, time to mess up the ass.
    ‘Here, drink it, I double dare you.’ The guys cheered tauntingly.
    ‘But…..’
    ‘Drink, drink, drink, drink….’ I chanted and soon they were all chanting it. He’s so screwed.

    <<<<<<<<<Verna>>>>>>>>>
    My mouth hung open loosely, my eyes wide open. I couldn’t believe who walked into the class. He was standing in front of the class looking for where to sit, my heart had lot control, I wanted to scream too but I couldn’t find my voice.

    His blonde hair was gelled like his eyebrows, his dark blue eyes searching the class for somewhere comfortable to sit. I sighed dreamily, placing my hand under my cheek. He wasn’t that muscular but his muscles did stood out from the tank top he wore. He was more gorgeous in person.

    ‘Oomph,’ I grunted, Eira kicked my leg with a very intense glare. ‘It’s Cian!!!!’ I shrieked through our telepathic connection.

    ‘Hey we’re going to get expel!!!’ She shrieked with mock enthusiasm. ‘Don’t even think about it.’

    ‘But Cian….’

    ‘Look away Verna, I’m serious.’ I pouted and averted my eyes to my book. My crush was standing there and I couldn’t scream, no attention. How come I didn’t know he was going to attend the same college? Was he studying zoology too?

    Cian, please sit with me.

    No me.

    Please me
    I wanted him to sit with me. Eira and Ayanna were sitting in one seat. The big room liked like a high school classroom. I felt someone sit beside me, cries of disappointment following. I didn’t dare look, the expensive rich scent said it all. My palms had gone sweaty, really sweaty, I was going to faint soon. I raised my head and stared at Ayanna.

    ‘What?’ She mouthed with a teasing smile.

    ‘He’s sitting beside me, right?’ I asked telepathically.

    ‘Yup!’ She popped.

    ‘Can we swap seats? I can’t breathe, I’m going to faint.’ She laughed in my head.

    ‘Sis, that would only drag attention, ignore him.’

    ‘But I’ll die! I’m going to jump on him.’

    ‘Picture him as a rotten nature hater.’ Eira suggested.

    ‘Impossible, Cian cares for nature and all it creatures a lot….’

    ‘I forgot that’s the reason you are dying for him.’

    ‘You guuuuuys, not helping!’

    ‘Sit and faint.’ Gale laughed. Where did….he was listening? ‘I share a mind with you all, I can feel your communication….so your boyfriend is around, huh?’ He said jestingly
    ‘Who invited this fool.’ Eira scoffed and blocked him. The teachers already cautioned the student to their seat and made them shut up but their eyes never left Cian who had his headphone on by the way.

    ‘Picture him as a cabbage.’

    ‘Ayanna, how does that help?!’ I exclaimed distraughtly. His hand accidentally brushed mine when he bent to pick his pen. ‘I’m about to faint, I can’t do this!’ I stood up abruptly.

    ‘Verna don’t….’

    ‘Would you prefer I jump him?’ I snapped.

    ‘Did you just snap?’ Ayanna asked quizzically. I scoffed, packed my things and went to sit with the dude behind Ayanna, he looked weird. ‘Wanna switch?’ She asked out loud.

    ‘Please,’ she stood up and packed her things which was just her phone and drumsticks. I moved out of the way, knowing how stupid she was. Like I predicted, she jumped over the table to the chair. I sighed and made myself comfortable with Eira.

    ‘Hola hola trouble,’ she sang. ‘Seeker seeker trouble.’ She glared at me. I pushed her face away, Ayanna laughed and hit my head with the drumsticks.

    ‘He’s staring at you and he’s like….’
    ‘Oh My God!’ They exclaimed teasingly, in my head that is.
    I’m in trouble.

    Cian
    I hated returning to school but dad caused it.. I wanted to study zoology but he insisted I followed the family tradition and study the course he chose first before I could study mine. After graduating, I was back in college to study what I really wanted.

    ‘I hate this,’ I complained as we walked into the school. We were five, a boy group called the Jacksons. We were all related so we all had to follow tradition. Dwane, the eldest didn’t really follow, he just came to have fun and screw girls.

    ‘Don’t worry, it’ll be over in no time.’ Toby, younger twin of Terence, leader of the group said assuredly. He’s the quiet one.
    ‘Especially when you think of the ladies you’ll be enjoying.’ Terence grinned rubbing his palms together.

    ‘Fuck you.’ I walked out on them, their annoyance wasn’t something I needed. Girls screamed after me, many trying to get pass the bodyguards but failing. I easily located the first class, it sucked. Everyone was screaming this and that while I searched for where to sit.

    I tilted my head when my eyes stopped at a brown haired girl with golden eyes. She was dressed like a tomboy and sitting beside a girl with dyed white hair. They were beautiful in a strange alluring kind of way, one I couldn’t just place my finger on. She was staring at someone, I trailed her gaze to another yet enchanting girl. Her bright green eyes was the first thing that captured my attention then her golden blonde hair.

    She looked away from the white haired and faced her book. My feet moved on their own, I walked to her chair and joined her.

    Her body stiffened momentarily, I was expecting her to react but she didn’t seem to care. I shrugged, removing my mind from her and bringing out my iPad. The pen fell, I sighed and bent down to pick it but my hand accidentally brushed against her smooth skin. She flinched a little and the next thing she did was stand up and move to another seat. It left me awestruck.
    She stood up?

    For the rest of the lesson, I remained in shock, even as I found my way to the next class in another faculty building. I found a lonely seat to occupy, mind still dazed from the fact that a girl ignored me. I perceived her earlier flowery scent, it was like all flowers came from her scent in very complicated way.

    ‘Can I sit?’ She asked calmly, she was standing three rolls away from mine. Her voice was melodious, in a way I couldn’t just wrap my head on.

    ‘Sorry, my boyfriend is going to sit here and we don’t want intruders.’ The stupid rude girl sneered. The golden blonde bit her lower lip, her eyes averting to me. I looked around, my seat was the only empty one left.

    ‘Thank you,’ she murmured, turned and walked out of the class. Did I do anything to her? Was she one of my accidental one nightstands?

    I have to find out.

    >>>>> Terence <<<<<
    Being a Jackson was really cool. The fame, the adoration, the ladies, the money and my amazing band mates. My dad was Dennis Jackson, first son of the Jackson family. Our family was there richest, the fame and powers was already high enough, let alone we were singers.

    My mom was a top actress, scriptwriter and producer, Rexella Jonah Jackson. She made it easier for us to be popular, she was nice and loved. She ad me and Toby.
    Cian was next, his dad was the immediate younger brother of dad, his dad was a legendary rapper and his mother a model. Cian had more singing experience than all of us, wrote the songs himself but he let me be the leader. He was very good with rhythm guitar and keyboard. He was quite calm, didn’t talk much or bothered himself about him and was too nice and nature loving.

    He’s annoying.

    Dwayne, a food sucker and mad drummer. Puss freak, stupid and lavishes money like it has no end. His dad was my dad’s younger twin brother, rich too but just like his son only that he’s nicer and almost mannered. Dwayne is as rude as hell, arrogant bastard. I still love him though.

    Ross, gentle, soft and really emotional. He was really pampered to girlishness and is the youngest amongst us. He’s fucking intelligent! A braniac! A computer wizard and a fantastic painter. He was very good at art, so good he could paint and sculpt with his eyes closed. He was a keyboardist, my dad’s father’s brother’s son’s son.

    I’m confusing you right?

    Think it yourself.

    Last was my shy twin Toby. He was only bold on stage but if left alone, could be bullied. He’s very quiet, barely spoke but when he did, you’ll think a wise old man did. He knew how to play a lead guitar better than anyone I know, wrote songs few times and had a very light singing voice. I love him a lot, he was my everything.

    Without him, I was nothing.

    ‘So you’re trying to tell us that some chick ignored you?’ Dwayne asked unbelievably, it was hard to believe a girl would ignore him. They could ignore Ross, Dwayne because he’s a jerk but not Cian, Toby and I. ‘What did you so to her?’

    ‘I don’t know.’ Cian said in absent mindedly. ‘She saw me and walked away….maybe I’d slept with her before…..’

    ‘Or maybe she don’t just like you,’ Toby cut in softly. ‘Not all girls are the way you see them, some are good different, better than others.
     Because she snubbed you doesn’t mean you should work yourself up about it.’. See what I mean about wise? He was the cutest, looked like a teenager when he was older than Ross.

    Dwayne was the eldest, he had black hair and eyes and was half Korean. His mom was Korean. He looked older than his age and was stupid like I said earlier.

    ‘I know but I just can’t get my mind off her. She’s just….’ Cian inhaled deeply. ‘Beautiful.’

    ‘Rubbish! The only thing pretty about girls are their holes!’ Dwayne exclaimed.
    ‘I agreed.’ I acknowledged.
    ‘All girls are for fuck sake. Find her, pay her and satisfy yourself….’

    ‘I swear on grandfather’s grave, I’ll forget my fist in your face.’ Cian growled.

    ‘Dwayne shut up before you get punched to unconsciousness again.’ Ross said sharply as he pulled Cian back.

    ‘Did you say she’s blonde as in golden blonde with bright green eyes and moves around with two girls?’ Toby asked questionably.

    ‘Yeah, one with white hair and the other with brown and golden eyes.’

    ‘Wooooooooow!’ Toby exclaimed exaggeratedly. I trailed his eyes to the girls walking to table in the cafeteria.

    ‘Holy god of hotness!’ Dwayne and I exclaimed.

    Who the fuck are these girls!!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ashley <<<<<<<<<<<<<

    I ran into school holding my backpack straps, I was running to catch up with my friends, they called me out on emergency. I sighted them heaving at my locker, chattering loudly to things I don’t care to know.
    ‘Hey girls!’ I shrieked.
    ‘Ashley!!!!’ They shrieked too, they ran to me like a deer stampede and enfolded me in a hug.
    ‘You guys, what did we discuss about hugging the life out of me.’ I gasped. They giggled and let me go. I adjusted my dress and smiled, they were my friends in school, I was the most popular and beautiful girl in Midway High. Only one of them was my real best friend, right from childhood. The rest were either from junior high and senior high.
    I’m popular you know.
    ‘So what do you have for me?’ I asked cocking my hips.
    ‘You missed Carter’s party, it was intense!’ Evarone squealed, she was the party lover, they all were. They were 12 in total, I can only remember the names of 6.
    ‘Why didn’t you show up? He was very disappointed.’
    ‘I’ve told you guys, I can’t attend parties, my brothers forbids me after what happened the other time.’ My very best friend, Samantha came out of the crowd and took my hand.
    ‘Ignore them, they won’t listen even if you preach over a million times.’
    ‘We’re late for class, hurry.’ One of the girls that was reasonable and whose name I don’t remember, said coolly.
    Now who am I? My name’s Ashley, Ashley Mimi Steinberg. I’m an eighteen years old teen in her senior year. I live with my parents, they are workaholics but they love me a lot. I also have three older brothers who loves me more than anything else in the world. Earl, he works with dad, has his own house and wife but can’t stay away from mom’s kitchen. Dean, never comes home because he believes his parents’ workaholic attitude sucks, but he do check on me and finally, the very best among them, the one I love most in my life and not in the brotherly way, Angus.
    He’s a college student, pretty tall with thick curly somewhat brown and black hair and sparkly green eyes. I know I shouldn’t be having such feelings for my own brother but I just couldn’t help it, he was more than a brother to me yet I had to keep it in mind that my feelings was an abomination.
    ‘So how’s your brother?’ Mantha as she insists we call her ask warmly, she was the only one that knew about my feelings and talked senses into my head.
    ‘I have three, which one?’
    ‘Ash, you know who I’m talking about,’ she drawled and rolled her eyes. I laughed and gave her a thumbs up. ‘So, I’ll presume you were up all-night chatting with him?’ I bowed my head sheepishly. I tilted my head closer to her ear and whispered.
    ‘I convinced him to send me a photo of his abs, he did and that was what kept me up all-night.’ She giggled and covered my face, she sighed. ‘He has gotten nicer abs, so hot!’ I fanned myself dreamily.
    ‘Ash, remember who he is to you,’ she whispered with a gentle nudge at my side. ‘Get a hold of yourself.’
    ‘I know but I just can’t help it, he’s…’
    ‘I know but remember.’ She concluded as we walked into class. The painful reality I’d have to live with.
    Later in science class, the teacher was teaching us how to turn liquid to solid and back to liquid, like we haven’t learnt that before. A paper hit my head, I knew who it was without asking. I sighed, picked up the paper, opened it and read the expected content.
    “Why weren’t you at my party last night?!” I squeezed it and threw it away. I was tired of explaining. One time during the period Angus came for summer break, I was invited to a pool party, it was an epic one but I got drunk and almost raped by a group of guys from another school. Good thing Angus came on time, he said instinct told him to come drag me home so viola! He saved me and since then, my brothers threatened to cut off my legs if I dare attend any party.
    I’m too obedient to disobey.
    Another paper hit my head. I puffed and threw it away. Three more papers hit my head before he gave up.
    After class, I packed up my books to run before he came but I was too late.
    ‘Why were you ignoring my messages?’ He snapped. I sighed and sat down. Mantha smiled and hurried out of the class. ‘Answer me Ashley.’
    ‘I’ve told you times without number, my brothers forbid I attend any party until I turn 22.’
    ‘What are you, 4!’
    ‘They are looking out for me like good brothers do,’ I murmured, I hate public fight, the students were already staring. In case I didn’t mention, Carter was my boyfriend.
    ‘They are not your dads! Why control your life this way!’
    ‘If my real dad got to know the reason why they forbid me, I’ll be grounded for life.’ I said with a tired sigh.
    ‘Just hear yourself, they are not around to control you but you use them as an excuse all the time….’
    ‘If you weren’t busy fucking my ex friend in a closet at Sanjay’s pool party, I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble!’ I snapped. ‘If you’d been with me, my brother wouldn’t have caught me in a pretty bad situation.’ He kept shut. ‘I’ve forgiven you all the times you cheated but don’t tell me how to…..’
    ‘Ashley! Ashley!’ Samantha yelled running into the class. I knew what she was up to, she pushed Carter aside and grabbed my wrist. ‘You have to come with me! You so gotta see this, Maribelle is trying to twerk!’
    ‘You don’t say!’ I squealed playing along. I grabbed my backpack and ran out with her, a big ouch to him but I didn’t really care. ‘Thanks for the save Sam, you’ll always be my lifesaver.’
    ‘Yeah I know,’ she said smugly. ‘That’s my job.’ We giggled and ran before he decided to chase me.
    #hours_later .
    I walked into the kitchen dog tired, being the captain of the cheersquads and drama president is hard, especially for a lazy girl like myself. As usual, Earl was eating my lunch for me.
    ‘Good afternoon brother,’ I said chucklingly. ‘Having lunch?’
    ‘Sorry, I borrowed your food, I’ll pay you back.’
    ‘You’re always paying me back, you’ve been paying me back since I was 10.’
    ‘I bride you, don’t I?’ I rolled my eyes and went to the fridge.
    ‘You know you have a wife, don’t you?’
    ‘Yes, why?’
    ‘Why can’t you eat her food instead of mine?’
    ‘Nothing, I prefer your cooking, I always have.’
    ‘Earl, what’s up? You know you can talk to me, right?’ I asked sticking my head into the fridge, I picked out a strawberry syrup and pickles.
    ‘I know, I just prefer your cooking, plus, Elma cooks like mom.’
    ‘Ew! That’s disgusting! Why didn’t you mention it earlier? Didn’t you know this before marrying her?’
    ‘I didn’t marry her for her cooking, I married her because she has big breasts…’
    ‘Earl!’
    ‘Whaaaaaat? It’s true,’ he whined. ‘I like ladies with big breasts and Elma have the biggest I’ve seen so far, you should see me in action, it’s like the battle of the fittest. Suck or be sucked.’ I laughed and shook my head.
    ‘You’re very stupid,’ he shrugged and continued licking the plate. ‘So what if her boobs transforms to slippersaurus?’
    ‘Then I change over, there’s a word called divorcology, duh.’ I laughed and shook my head again walking to the bread freezer. Mom’s idea, mom and Angus are bread lovers.
    ‘You can’t just change women like that, why did you marry her if you don’t love her?’
    ‘She refused to let me touch her breasts so I married her, it’s been four months so in three more months, I’ll divorce her and marry another girl with bigger boobs or ass….nay, ass is all poop and no….’
    ‘How old are you again?’
    ‘I can’t remember.’ He said grinningly. I laughed, poor girl, he would really divorce her.
    ‘You’re pathetic. I pity the girl you’ll fall in love with.’
    ‘Will, that’s future tense so when that time comes, I’ll change if God put a padlock on my zippers,’ he shrugged, I rolled my eyes. ‘Like that pretty boyfriend of yours would be enjoying your booty and booby, you’re full work, only hipless.’ I rolled my eyes.
    ‘I’m a virgin, foolish man.’
    ‘I know, that’s why I’m taunting you but if you dare lose it to that goat, I’ll shave your eyebrows and pin you to the sun….’
    ‘That’s not a…..’
    ‘Don’t argue with the gods, I’ve spoken. Now do what girls do and beautify yourself, you’re going to pick up your second boyfriend from the airport.’ I gasped and shrieked excitedly, he called Angus my second boyfriend.
    He’s coming back!
