Chapter 2

Once I set foot in the kitchen, I was taken back. "Holy..." The kitchen was in shambles, scraps on the floor and benches, pots and pans lying all over the place. In the sink were the pan Max used, there was black smoke rising from this mass blob of mutant food. And wow, did it give of a foul smell. There was foam all over the stove... must of been from the fire extinguisher... I wonder what blew up.

Urrggh. Holding my nose, I raised my gaze it my mum, who looked like she was about to burst any minute. I quickly went to stand next to my other brothers who were lined across my mum.

"WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TO THE KITCHEN? I JUST WENT TO GET THE GROCERIES AND I COME BACK WITH!!! I MEAN LOOK AT THIS MESS!" My mum stopped and looked like she was counting up to 10. "Okay, now who wants to tell me how his happened and who did this, hmmm?" She said calmly

My mum was a petite brunette, 5 ft 3 and has a rich brown eyes, she had slightly wavy hair that just hit her shoulders. And has a a really bad temper, so any new-comers should try to stick to her good side.

We all pointed fingers at Max, still staring at mum.

"Max, do you care to explain this?" She turned a questioning gaze to Max who started fiddling with his fingers.

"Urrmm... I was hungry and tried to cook something. But you see... it kinda didn't go so well." And Max started mumbling about stuff and how it was an accident. "I didn't do it on purpose, honest!"

My mum just stood there looking bored, and sighed. Her face was disapproving at first, but slowly her shoulders shook ever so slightly and slowly, her face turned into a grin.

Me and my brothers stared at her, dumbfolded. We all looked at each other and I gave out a shaky laugh, Tom and Max stilled looked a little shocked. The Dave and Andy both slowly turned and quietly headed for the stairs

Okay here's the deal with our mum, her mood changes real quick and she sometimes keeps her emotions in so that none of us really knows what's she's feeling. We always knew but she doesn't know about that.

My mum suddenly stopped grinning staring right at the twins, "Don't even think of leaving just yet." She said sternly.

"Oh and Mercedes, would you also explain why your hair is like it is now?­" My mum suddenly asked

See. I knew she was gonna say something about it.

"Well, here's the thing. When I woke up, Tom ­­here decided to have a go with my hair. When I tied my hair up with it uneven and all, it kinda ended up looking like this." I explained to my mum.

My brothers all laughed and tried to turn them into coughs. I all sent them glares, which sadly, made them laugh even harder, so hard that they started choking when they tried to turn it into another cough.

"And why was that, Tom?" mum said turning to Tom.

"For fun..?" Tom said

"You should do that to your sister now, you will have to punished for that later." mum replied

Tom hung his head in defeat

She smiles sweetly at us. Uh-oh. When she smiles like that, its means she's planning something that we will definitely do not like.

My other brothers stopped instantly when they noticed our mother was giving us that sweet smile. Let me tell you guys why we all dread what she's gonna say, it's because every time she gives us that smile, it always ended up to be really bad for us.

Flashback

Me and Max were in sixth grade, the twins in fifth grade and Tom in seventh grade.

"Okay, honey, I'm going to be late today, so when you finish doing your homework. Go play in your room and go straight to bed at 9:30. Okay? Okay good." She gave us her smile, "If you 5 do something wrong, you're going to regret it, so behave. Bye. See you kids soon."

We all waved her good bye.

"So you guys wanna go somewhere?" Tom asked us with the twins right behind him.

"But we were supposed to do our homework" Max whined.

"YEAH, and mum gonna be pissed when she finds out." I complained

"Come on, she said she was gonna be late anyways." Tom replied

"Yeah, come on. Let's go." The twins added in unison

Me and max relentlessly went with then. We went to the park and explored around the suburb. We didn't realise what the time was and noticed that it was really late

When we finally sneaked back into the house, our mum was standing there looking really pissed.

"WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU KIDS BEEN WHEN I WAS AT HOME WORRIED SICK?" Mum yelled at us.

We all turned heads to Tom, who looked like he was about to piss himself. "We went around the suburb-"

"YOU WHAT?!" We flinched. She screamed so loud that our ear drums felt like they were going to burst.

"You know what? You 5 are all grounded for 1 month. That means; no hanging out with friends, you also have to come home straight home after school, no phones or computers, and you cannot bring friends over. And so you kids have to suffer we me! HAHAHA"

We always glared at our mum when she watched us eating it, and she was laughing the whole time. We had to suffer the torture, she makes us do the worst things, it's not funny.

End flashback

This is so not going to be good.
