I smile and go over to Cory and Lee.
“Yo… Corrryyy” I sing smirking and he looks up and smiles. I sit down next to them and glance towards Darren
“Hey…why don’t you two go talk to Darren…he seems lonely” I say nudging Cory,
“Really?” Lee wines and I give him a look
“Be nice….I’ll give you chocolate” I smile and his eye light up.
“Go play with him….but play nice” I warn and they smile innocently and hop to their feet heading towards him
I get to my feet too turning to see that April is in the middle of all of my older brothers as their talking to her and Hayden and Noah and I feel my eyes narrow…the look on her face as their talking to her…is weird. I frown and go over to Leon who’s sat on the bench texting and sit down next to him and he snaps his phone shut.
“What’s up?” I ask and he shrugs
I sigh internally, he hardly ever makes conversation. Always stays in his own little bubble.
“Hey Leon…..can I show you something?” I say reach behind my neck and unclipping my locket and he nods
I smile softly “Look at this” I say opening up the locket to revel the picture of me and dad and showing it to him. He looks over at it and I swear I see a small smile on his lips and he takes it out of my hand carefully still looking at it
“Can I tell you something?” I say and he nods still looking at the picture. “Mom gave that to me the other day…she told me she has a picture for all you guys” I smile “She’ll give it to you when you get older”
He smiles softly and hands it back and I clip it back on and hear him sigh “I miss him” He mumbles
That makes me freeze slightly, he hardly ever talks about dad.
I smile and wrap him in a hug and kiss his head as he squirms “We all do” I whisper then smirk “Who knew Leon had feelings” I joke and he pushes me off him whipping his head and I laugh and ruffle his hear and he playfully
glares at me.
I smirk and I glance upwards to see April looking our way with an weird expression but then looks away back to
whoever’s talking to her….
“YO Lex, Leon, you gunna come play?” Chris shouts over holding a football.
I smirk/smile and stand up yanking Leon with me and go over to them.
If it’s one thing you get from living with 12 boys all your life, is definitely how to play soccer.
Me, Seth, Aston, Hayden and Chris are on one team and Evan, Leon, Noah, Blake April are on the opposite, but she doesn’t look the type to play she seems awkward just standing there.

Chapter 17
We start playing, one thing is we don’t play by the rules. WE kinda make them up. So I bash into my brothers tackling for the ball.
At the moment I bash into Evan and steal the ball “Urr….you” He says cutting himself of before he calls me a very rude word and groans in pain because I elbowed him
I smirk at him over my shoulder and kick the ball towards Seth who scores. “No fair, you used your twin thing” Evan wines and I smirk innocently
“What twin thing?…I have no idea what you’re talking about” I say totally mocking innocent
He rolls his eyes “Sure you don’t” He mumbles and I smirk.
“Yeah…what you talking about” Seth chips in smirking and winks at me and I laugh.
“Okay…quite your freaky twin thing and lets carry on” Chris says and me and Seth laugh.
“It’s not freaky” I argue glaring at him and he just smirks starting the game again.
I turn to follow the ball noticing April and Noah looking at me. April with a weird expression and Noah smirking softly making my heart flip.
I shake it off and continue with the game.
April doesn’t seem to do much, she seems scared of the ball. Though it somehow looks like she’s faking it. At one point Evan goes to her showing her how to kick the ball, come on!
“EVAN! leave the girl alone, she actually might not want to get in your bed!” I yell at him smirking and hear the
others laugh as Evan shoots me a look.
We finally finish the game…with my team winning! Ha!.I high five them all as Evan, as always, accuses us of cheating, but hey we all broke the rules so he can’t blame it on that.
“FOODS READY!” Mom yells from the patio where she cooked are barbeque….since it’s easier for all of us. I glance at my brothers then within seconds we all sprint towards the patio.
We race there all twelve of us where mom’s starting to serve. “Guys, guests first. You know that” Mom frowns at us and we grumble in response, no fair.
We all get our food in the end and go to the tables that our set up in the garden, so many tables it’s quite funny.
I sit between Seth and Evan, great. He’s going to annoy the hell outta me. We’re all sat down and the last to come over is April, oh and looks like there’s no space left…ha…what a shame.
