I can’t help but smile slightly in amusement.
“Oh and we have already another thing in common” She grins looking at me, turning I her seat again and I raise a
questionable eyebrow.
“Our eye colour! Blue!” She grins and I blink not realising.
She giggles slightly, “I bet we have more things in common than you think” she smiles facing the front again and I frown cohfused, what is that supposed to mean?
The teacher, Mr Clark starts the lesson now, so I don’t have a chance to question her. She’s just sat there with a slight amused smile, it feels like she is saying ‘I know something you don’t know. Which makes me confused, but maybe I’m just thinking too much of it.
English drags on. Mr Clark rambling on about some random crap I’m not even paying attention
Finally the bell rings and everyone grabs their stuff, racing to the door,
As I pack my stuff up I see Charlie smiling at me with her bag on her shoulder.
“Hey, wanna go grab a milkshake?” She asks still smiling, “Because there’s this awesome place down the road that do amazing milkshakes!” She beams.
I smile slinging my bag over the shoulder, “Yeah sure.” Why not? Milkshake will be good.
She grins “Great! Come on then” I follow her out the classroom, with a slight smile on my face, maybe I have found a
frined..
My smile suddenly drops though as we step out in the corridor and I remember, how can I forget?
I have five older overprotective brothers, the reason I don’t have many friends, no wait, why I have NO friends.
“We can meet up with Abby and Nate, some of my mates, you’ll love them!” Charlie grins as we walk out the doors into the car lot and turns to me grinning but instantly dropping it and she frowns concerned.
“What’s wrong?” She asks
I internally groan and my eye automatically see my brothers by the cars.
“Um, I’m really sorry, I don’t think I will be able to come.” I say my gaze still on the four boys.
“Um…I’m really sorry….but I don’t think I will be able to come.” I say, my gaze still on the four boys.
She frowns again, “Oh-” She says but gets cut off following my gaze and her eyebrows raise and a smile appears, “Whoo, damn, who are they?” She eyes them up.
I cringe and frown and start walking, “My brothers” I say “I’m sorry, I can’t come.” And can see her surprised

expression over the fact I told her they are my brothers.
“See you tomorrow” Is all that I catch up on what she shouts to me and just nod, briefly waving my hand in her direction, approaching the cars now and some laughing brother’s.
“Hey sis! Good day?” Evan smirks, I just roll my eyes and shrug climbing into the unlocked car.
Why didn’t I go with Charlie?
I would have if it wasn’t for these four people. Because as soon as people find out who my brothers are, they become ‘friends‘ with me, fake friends and only use me to get to them or the other way round, become friends with me then find out who my brothers are and change, by either going to them or hanging with me more to hang with them.
I don’t want that to happen again.
So I would rather make my own choice and turn down friendship rather than have hope they will be my friend but turn out just like the others.
“OW! You little shi-!” I growl cutting myself off before I swear at the six year old who’s looking at me all innocent like he didn’t just kick me hard in the shin for no reason.
I narrow my eyes at the blonde haired twin and rub my skin, cussing under my breath, why the hell did he just kick
- me.
He grinned and spun around so fact and darted down the corridor, “I did it Evan!” He yelled running towards said’s
room.
I growl and glare in the direction of Evan’s room, I should have known he put Jack up to that. Probably a stupid dare. Such a prick.
I could hear Evan’s snickering as I headed down the stairs still glaring at plotting revenge on Evan.
I stomp down the stairs, narrowly avoiding the scatter of boys toys spread across the hallway from the younger ones.
I frown and kick a toy car out the way. God! Just one day and already the house is a tip.
To make matters worse, Mom isn’t home. She’s at her new job still, getting used to it as she’s the manager.
I smile at that. I’m proud of her. She’s always wanted to be one, and now it’s her chance. But it means that we are left here, alone and the only sensible ones are Aston, Blake and me. but even those two can turn if the others influence them enough.
I sigh. Gosh I can’t wait until Charles comes tomorrow. Well I think he is coming.
I kick another toy car out the way and walk into the kitchen. I still can’t get over how huge this house is. I love it.
