My Best Friends Mate? Is Me?

~ Chapter 1 ~

Chapter 1:

     “KEITH NICHOLAS DALE!!” I yelled, my voice echoing throughout the large mansion. I stomped out of my room, steam practically coming out of my ears, “KEITH!! COME OUT HERE YOU LITTLE BR-“ I screeched, but was cut short when my mother poked her head out from around the corner. She gave me her, ‘Don't swear in my house young lady’ look, before I could finish my sentence. My little brother Keith, who has just turned 16, had pranked me... He put blue dye in my shampoo! Now my hair was freaking blue! BLUE!! And school starts tomorrow. The first school day of the year... TOMORROW!!

     My mother’s eyes travelled up to look at my hair, and she cracked a smile before turning and walking towards the kitchen with little Lucy in her hands... Lucy is the most recent addition to the family, born one month ago actually. I let out a frustrating sigh, turning back around and walking into my room.

     Time to wash my hair another fifty times...

     My room was big, and I mean big... The walls were a lime green and white, as the floor was just plain wood. I had a queen sized bed backed up against the wall, and across it was a TV. On the right of the bed was a desk which held my Apple MacBook on it as well as some (well most) of my CDs, just above it was hundreds of photos of my friends and me collaged into one big poster, and on my left was my book shelf (which had a lot of books), a small couch just big enough for two people and my walk in wardrobe. The bathroom, which I have to share, is on the right near my desk. All it had was the usual shower, bath, sink and toilet.

     I walked into my room, closing my door on my way in. I found Brandon clucking his stomach laughing his head off on my bed at the sight of my hair. I glared at him, “This is so not funny...” I growled, walking towards him and sitting next to the laughing maniac.

     He just kept on laughing, “It’s not funny! IT’S HILARIOUS!!” He gasped, his perfectly tanned face turning red from the lack of air. Brandon Ford is my best friend; we've been friends since we were little. Like really little. My parents and his are like a big family! But we aren't related in any way. He ruffled his dark brown hair and opened his big chocolate brown eyes, “I can't believe your hair is blue!” He chuckled. I glared at him again, turning to look into my mirror. My turquoise eyes looked up at my once golden brown hair that was now a striking blue. I sighed, walking into my wardrobe and grabbing a towel. I walked out and towards the bathroom.

     Brandon was on his phone, looking out the window with a worried look. He closed his phone and looked up at me, his face instantly turning into a smile. “I’m sorry Ash, but I have to go home... Family stuff...” He sighed, walking over to me. By family stuff he means that the new member of his family in on its way...

     I smiled at him, “It’s okay... I have to wash the blue out of my hair by tomorrow... I'll see you tomorrow?” I asked, giving him a hug.

     “Sure...” He whispered into my hair.

     We let go, and I walked him to the front door. “Tell me what their names are going to be!” I shouted, while he opened the door of his car.

     “I will!!” He smiled, while climbing into his car. Then off he went. I smiled walking inside and toward the bathroom. I stopped next to the living room and glanced inside... I smiled evilly to myself from the sight I saw. Keith, Finn and Shaun (three of my brothers) sat on the couch playing Black Ops. I crept to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of honey. I quietly unscrewed the lid and crept back to the living room.

     Mother was looking at me, grinning the whole time. The thing I love about my mum is that she's fine with me pranking my younger brothers since she was the only girl in a family of five kids... She knows my pain... I slowly walked behind the boys, making sure that I didn't make a sound. I wouldn't since I'm a master of stealth; playing paint ball actually pays off... I stood right behind Keith and dumped the whole bottle of honey over his head, and rubbing it into his hair with my hands. He gasped in horror, dropping the game control and turning around. I dropped my honey covered hands to my sides as I grinned in triumph. His face turned the deepest red ever known to man.
