Cecil's arms were wrapped tightly around me, holding me against his chest. I listened to his slow steady breathing for a few minutes before I decided we were going to school today. I knew I had made plans with Parker but I could move those till after school. I'd have to tell him first. And that involved pushing myself off Cecil to get my phone.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Cecil. Get up. We have school." I said and pushed against his chest. That caused him to groan and roll away from me.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Go away..." He mumbled, cradling the pillow to his face.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

I grabbed the closest pillow and slammed it to his side. He ignored me. I did it again and again until he jumped up and tackled me off the bed. I was pinned in seconds. My brother's sleepy face looming over me. His eyes a beautiful blue but narrowed in on my face.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"You're going to school today?" He asked curiously, lifting himself off of me.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Yeah..." I said and pushed myself off the ground.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"You sure?"</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Yeah."</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Sil..."</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"GAH!" I screamed and pushed him out of my room. "I'll be fine Cecil. Now go get changed." I ordered, slamming the door on his face.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

I changed into black skinny jeans, a white strapless top, my black leather jacket, and my converse. I threw my hair into a ponytail and rubbed the crust from my eyes before grabbing my phone and dialing Parker's number.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Hello???" He answered groggily. I smiled.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Hey Parker." I said calmly, stifling through my bag for my car keys.</pre>

<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

"Hey Silly." Parker used the stupid nickname he came up with yesterday. </pre>
