He gets in the kitchen, sprinting through and just as I’m racing through I get caught around the waist, halting me.
I start thrashing around in the familiar strong hold and glaring death glares at Evan who’s safely at the other side of the kitchen.
“Get off me! He deserves it! The smug little bast-” I shout trying to fight out of Charles’s hold, and he covers my mouth to stop the swearing, I know it’s him from his really strong arms around my waist holding me back and from the millions of other times he’s had to do it.
“Lexi chill” Charles says sternly “Watch your language, yes he does but save it until another time yeah?” He says more quietly still having a strong grip on me.
I show at his arms on my waist still thrashing about trying to get out of his hold with no luck but still try. “why the hell should I wait? He locked my out my room, making me stand outside in a towel!” I yell, glaring again at Evan’s smug face. God I want to slap him so bad “he deserves it…they all do” I growl glaring at the two innocent looking twins who had the key.
Charles jerks me backwards against his chest, “Lexi!” He says sternly, but a hint of amusement and nudges me to look across the other side of the kitchen.
My eyes widen and I feel my stomach drop.
I forgot they were here.
“Yeah Chill Lex, we have guests.” Comes Chris’s smug remark as he’s smirking at me from the table and I shot him a dirty look and glare.
There stood in the kitchen and just witnessed my outburst, is the same two people that saw me in just my bloody
towel.
Noah and April. God! Don’t they have their own house!
Noah’s smirking and April….well I don’t know, she has a weird expression on her face, like she’s thinking or
something.
I feel Charles’s grip loosen around me and I let my gaze drift back to the pair on the other end of the kitchen and really can’t help a smirk slip to my lip.
Okay, I got to admit it is pretty funny. I’m still pissed…but if it was one of the boys I would be dying of laughter myself.
I will get my own back though. That is for sure.
Laughter starts to bubble inside of me and I try to hide it, biting my lip and pulling out Charles’s loosen grip and walked to the table slouching down on a seat, covering my laughter with a cough.

“Right, well…sorry about Lexi.” Mom says shaking her head, apologising for me to Noah and April “She can get wound up too easily” she says
I snort “Wouldn’t you if they locked you out your OWN room so you couldn’t change, then locked you our your HOUSE! I was only in a towel!” I say exasperatedly, the laughter as yes I get wound up….but I had a reason to!
“yes and they already have punishment for it” she says looking at me and frowning at the boys “But you Lei dear, need to control your anger” she says, eyeing me then turning around.
I scoff and narrow my eyes slightly at the other smirking faces.
Well that’s what you get fo living with 12 brothers. You loose patients easily.
“Anyways, this is for you and your family” Mom chirps changing the mood and lifting the medium sized basket off the counter that’s filled with small muffins and….fruit?
She hands it to April who’s grinning widely happily and friendly at her, it almost makes it look fake and slightly weird.
“To say thanks for welcoming us into this amazing neighbourhood!” Mom beams smiling as Aril takes the pretty decorated basket. Ooh and I gotta say, those muffins look good!
“thank you Mrs Walker! They look amazing” April grins at mom and I frown.
I mimic her saying those mockingly mouthing, making Seth and Evan see, and they snicker quietly.
Mom smiles happily at her, something flashing in her eyes that makes me frown feeling uneasy. “It’s more than alright dear” she smiles at her and Noah “Oh and please call me Anna” She adds with a slight chuckle.
“Will do, Anna” Noah says, smiling at her and mom smiles wider that they used her name.
“Yeah, thanks again! Mom will love these.” April grins
“Yup! We better go though, thank you!” Noah adds, smiling and nodding to my mom as she leads them out the kitchen after April flashes us in the kitchen a goodbye grin, making all the others smile back to her, but me scowl. I don’t like her, not one little bit, there’s something off about her.
Chris starts chuckling and stand up from the table “Jeeze Lexi, you could at least make it look like you like her, just a bit” he smirks and I roll my eyes at him, but lightly smirking.
I stand up from the table too, heading over to the counter in search for any spare muffins mom kept aside.
“Ah ha!” I grin as I find a plastic tub and rip open the lid to see what I knew would be there, mom would never make muffins and not save us some.
