Kathy's POV

I groaned at the news.

Mami had just announced to us that Minnie AKA the headmistress had called and said she needed me back in Hogwarts as soon as possible and needed to see me in her office first thing tomorrow. A pressing issue, apparently. Therefore, Cierra, Ric, and I would all have to return tonight.

Yesterday after we came back from Auntie Mione's we were already exhausted and went straight to sleep. Now, we have less than an hour at home before we leave and we have already packed our bags and we're just hanging out, enjoying each other's company.

I watched in awe as Cierra pumped whipped cream straight into her mouth directly from the can, filling her whole mouth with it.

"Sis. Slow down." I insisted but she shook her head no.

She continued to fill her mouth with whipped cream and Ric moved the bottle forcefully, making a straight line of whipped cream across her face. He laughed loudly and quickly walked away, holding onto his stomach, in fear of Cierra's glare.

"You're fucking dead!" She yelled at him, grabbing an orange from a bowl on the kitchen island and flinging it at him, which he jumped to the side to avoid. Then she flung an apple, a peach, and another orange, and Ric avoided every single one.

"I feel like I'm in the bloody Matrix." I laughed as I sipped on my blackberry juice and watched them fight. It wasn't until Cierra grabbed a large grapefruit that Ric stopped laughing and Mami stopped her.

"Cierra..." Mami warned and Cierra begrudgingly put the grapefruit down.

"But Mami! Look what he did to my face!" Cierra complained.

"That's what you get for stuffing your ugly face!" Ric retorted and she grabbed the grapefruit again threateningly, making Ric drop to the ground in armadillo mode and I slapped my hand over my mouth as I laughed loudly. Mami once again stopped her and made her put the grapefruit down.

"You think I'm ugly? There's a reason that girls pass when you try to hook up with them, and that reason is me, little brother. So let's get our facts straight before we go around calling people ugly." Cierra replied confidently and all of us "ooo"'d at her response.

Ric glared at her and had no response except flipping her off.

Cierra ignored him and instead grabbed a spoon, took the whipped cream off her face, and shoved it into her mouth.

I cringed at the sight. "Ewe. That's disgusting."

"My face is clean, perra." (bitch) Cierra flipped me off and I rolled my eyes.

"Mhm. Okay. 'Clean'." I replied and she flipped me off once again. Mami and Papi laughed as they watched our interaction from the sofa and Ric scoffed at us as he leaned on the kitchen island.

Cierra opened the fridge to put the whipped cream away and took out cream cheese, grabbing the same spoon she had just used to take the whipped cream and stuffing a spoonful of cream cheese into her mouth. Ric and I stared at her in awe and she simply shrugged and continued eating.

"What is wrong with you?" Ric scoffed, walking away from us and sitting in the living room beside Mami and Papi.

Cierra hopped on the kitchen island. "Kathy." Cierra whispered and motioned for me to lean in, which I did.

"What?"

Cierra whispered in my ear, "I want to snog someone. No. I need to snog someone."
