Small things

'And bam, your dead!'

Ugh. I've woken up with a massive hang-over back in my bedroom. Wait, how did I get here? Ugh I can't remember anything, I remember passing out just outside the bar in the car park then... Then nothing. No memories! No- Uh oh. *bleugh* I grab a sick bowl just us the puke comes pouring out my mouth. Just as I catch Jack's eye as he walks across the landing to the stairs. 'Went out last night?' I see Jack peering through my door smirking. Wait a minute. 'why is my door open?' I say squinting at the light from the hallway, 'don't know, it's been open all night, Noah was in here for a while looking through your wardrobe and stuff, but you probably already knew that' he says with a shrug and a wink closing my door again to leave me think. What? Why was Noah in my room? Like maybe he can use the excuse the house partly his, but my room? He's just crossed the line! Livid I pull over my sheets and get out of bed flinging the door open as i stomp across the landing to the other side of the hall and aggressively bang on the spare/guest (now Noah's) bedroom, 'NOAH!!' I scream, there's no answer but I can here him in there so I bust through the door to find Noah fully dressed for school just lying on the bed, 'you could of told me to come in! Instead of just leaving me out there!' I wail while waving my hands round frantically, 'come in' he says sarcastically, clearly not taking much notice of how angry I am. Ugh I've had it with him now, I try being patient but no, not anymore. 'Ha. Ha. Funny' I say bluntly, 'now why were you in my room yesterday?!' I scream trying to be intimidating, he grins and sleekly slides of the bed confidently walking up to me 'reasons. You. Don't. Know!' He says teasingly walking past me. Now he's really crossed the line, I pick up an old wooden stake thats been lying on the dressing table and pin him up against the wall holding the sharp end towards his stomach so that my fore-arm is blocking off his wind pipe, again trying to look intimidating - but he just looks at me for a second and laughs 'wouldn't want to stab your own brother would you?' He smirks and pushes me to the side as he walks out the room puffing up his flannel collars. I enternally SCREAM at the top of my lungs, I just clearly lost that, he completely slayed me there! But my thoughts are cut of by something completely different, worse-Uh oh. It's coming again, I feel the sick travelling right up my throat at full speed and I immediately puff my checks to stop the sick flowing out, just as Noah peers round the door again, I mean what can he possibly say now to make me feel ever worse - yet somehow he does ; 'oh, and try not to get puke all over the carpet' he says with a wink. Then I just let the sick flow, I purposely open my mouth wide open so the sick comes poring out all over the red satin carpet with tears from the force of the sick dropping down my face.

'Heyy' Elena smiles as she approaches me in the school hallway with two big Hollister bags hanging from her inner elbow 'what are those?' I ask suspiciously, 'oh right these? I completely forgot about them!' She says playfully hitting her said, 'this ones for youu-' she says handing me over one of the bags 'and this ones mine!' She squeals excitedly. I give her a little bit of a confused look, 'For the bonfire silly! And now you have no excuse not to go!' She says in a duh voice. 'Oh! Right, silly me! I guess not...' I say awkwardly smiling. I take a quick peep inside the bag as I walk down the corridor to see a beautiful tight, while laced dress that comes up just a few centimetres above my knees and I smile, thanks Elena.

Just as I'm walking to French I see Noah getting lectured by a teacher by the lockers and it catches my eye - I know exactly what to do, I skim past him and quickly trip him up so he goes flying a few steps forwards, I turn around to give him the bitchiest look I have as I see his 'I'm-gonna-kill-you' face, and I successfully leave to the sweet sound of him getting told off even more, as my moment is interrupted by Kristi who is now walking next to me, 'what's going on with you guys then?' She asks looking back at Noah, 'nothing, just some brotherly sister love' I smile looking straight ahead. 'Wait what? Brotherly sisterly?' She asks concerned, then I realise that she doesn't know - no one does, so I try cleaning up my tracks confidently ; 'you know, it's a saying!' I say in my best 'duh' tone, 'right...' She says looking quite convinced, yet confused.

Later that day just as I'm walking out of school I see that Tyler 'I-know-your-full-name' guy. 'Hey!' I shout jogging up to him trying to get noticed, 'hey you!' I shout louder, but then I realise his headphones are in. 'Tyler!' I scream approaching him, his head jerkily moves to when he hears his name and a shot of relief runs through me knowing that I'm not gonna be seen as some embarrassing loner that calls random people she doesn't knows name - but instead, it's even worse.... He starts avoiding me! Like avoiding avoiding me! I chase after him as he tries to un noticibally speed walk off. I'm sure that I'm not gonna loose him this time until we are down at the pier again and he gives up with his hands up in the air preaching it. 'Hey, Emilia....' He says unsurely, 'Stop. Avoiding. Me.' I say in-between heavy breathes. 'Sorry, just awkward you know?' He tries getting out of it, 'but anyway, you better go, you've got the whole bonfire thing and all' he says eyeing my bag and turning around, 'but wait! Can I at least have your number?' I ask politely, 'you haven't earned that yet!' He winks jogging away backwards. I shake my hands in despair and turn around back home. Great, that conversation went absolutely nowhere! And now I'm gonna have to go home to my 'brother' who I almost stabbed! I think I can now officially say/deserve to say life is not easy!

Another day walking through the front door, I shake my head and sigh as turn the door knob that I've turned everyday for the last 16 years - only now, it feels different. 'Argh' I gasp as I'm pulled towards the side of the door inside the house with Noah's hand wrapped firmly around my mouth pulled into his chest with the same wooden stake I almost stabbed him with just millimetres away from my chest, 'and bam, your dead' he whispers right next to my ear, so that his breath goes through and sends a shiver down my spine, and he slowly draws the pointy end of the stake closer to my chest so it's now touching. I tense up a little, I know he wouldn't hurt me, but do I really want to take that risk? I try not to look scared and give him the pleasure of it but I can't really help it. Then he lets go so I spin round once and I'm facing him, but about a few meters apart as he toys with the stake in his hands flipping it about and throwing it up in the air smiling. 'So if your gonna threaten to kill me next time, at least do it right?' He smirks with a trace of evil satisfaction on his face. Feeling embarrassed i can't stand here anymore to see him proud of himself that he got me by surprise I head to the stairs past Noah rolling my eyes to show I don't care, but then just as I'm passing him he jerkily moves in front of me putting his arm so I can't avoid him, 'but I'll just say now, stab me once okay, stab me twice? I'll leave that to you to imagine' he says bluntly, then moves his arm so I can walk past, but then just as I take another step I sigh when he quickly puts it back again 'and watch out at the bonfire tonight.' He says with an emotion I can't tell ; it's like serious, yet worried, yet smirking? I push past him and do one of those grumpy teenager walks up to my room.
