The Poly Spys

Chapter 13

Emma's POV
We're here. I can hear them from outside. I'm not sure if all seven of them are here or not. I went to knock but then stopped. I turned to face my girls. "You cannot punish me for anything that I do or say in this house" I said. They looked confused but nodded. I knocked. A girl with long brown hair and glasses opened the door. "Hey Emma" she smiled. "Hey Cacey" I said. Cacey is one of my brothers girlfriends. We walked inside. A boy with black hair looked at me and then grabbed a megaphone. "EMMAS HOME!" He yelled. My ears are ringing. "Thank you for clearing that up Randal" I said. Randal is my younger brother. He's seventeen. Four boys ran down the stairs. At least its not all seven. "Hey dudette" Cash said. We high-fived. "Sup losers" I said. Cacey is Cash's girlfriend. Cash is twenty. My brothers, Cash, Randal, Adam, Chris, and Zander are here. They're all in the age group of sixteen-twenty three. My older brothers, Liam and Ian aren't here. They're about twenty nine, I think. "Bro, whos your friends?" Zander asked. "Girlfriends" I corrected him. "Damn you got three! I cant get one!" Adam said. I laughed. "That's cause you're gay!" I said. "True" he shrugged. "Boys, this is Marley, Becca, and Hailey" I said. "We've met" Chris said. Hailey nodded. "Wait what?" Becca asked. "I've brought Hailey here before" I said. My dad walked into the room and I hugged him. "Nice to meet you all. What are you doing back Emma? I thought you moved to the city" he said. "I did but I wanted you to meet Marley and Becca" I said. He nodded.

We're in my room. "Bitch since when?" Marley said, holding something. I looked at the picture she was holding. It was when I was in middle school and I went with Adam to a pride parade. I'm wearing a bisexual shirt. "You're a lesbian" Marley said. "Yes, but at the time of that photo, I wasnt" I shrugged.

"Do you wanna go in the pool?" I asked. "Sure!" Hailey said. We all changed and went out back. Only Chris was in the pool. Everyone else was inside. Marley, Hailey, and I got in. Becca just sat on the side. "Becca come join us" Hailey said. "No" she huffed. "You're wearing a jacket while its hot out" I said. "Yeah, and?" She asked. I rolled my eyes and we all swam around.

"I cant believe you didn't swim with us" I said. We're in my room. "Its cold! Its winter!" Becca said. "You freeze too easily" Marley said. "Sure, lets go with that" Becca rolled her eyes. "Your brothers are nice" Marley said. "Just wait until tomorrow. Liam and Ian are coming" I said.

Its day two. We walked out of my room and I was tackled. "How's my little sister?" Ian asked. "Put me down" I growled. He did and I slapped him. "I'm good, where's Liam?" I asked. "He's coming" Ian said. "The boys told me about your girlfriends" he looked at them. I blushed. I could feel my girls smirking at me. "EMMA!" Liam yelled. I groaned and walked down the stairs. "Hey!" He smacked my shoulder. "Liam, you're twenty nine and you act like a child" I said. "Yeah, and? Im a dad!" He said. I rolled my eyes. "Whos your girlfriends?" He asked. "Marley, Hailey and Becca, my literal girlfriends" I said. "Oh ok. I've seen that one before" he pointed at Hailey. "Why are you home Liam? You never come home" I said. "Neither do you. Besides we moved" he said. "Oh, so where's Helen?" I asked. Helen is his wife. "She's at home unpacking. I'm only here because I heard you were here" he said, smacking my ponytail. It seems that everyone likes to mess with my hair.

Marley's POV
Its the next day. We left a few hours ago. Its now time for my family. "I don't know if this was a good idea" I said. "You're not backing out. We are going to your families house and we are meeting them. You met ours so this is only fair." Becca said. I sighed. This was a bad idea.

I knocked on the door. "Hi Marley" mom smiled. "Hi mom" I greeted. We walked in. "Are they here?" I asked. "No, they're at work" mom said. I breathed out relived. "Your dads out too" she said. "Ok, these are my girlfriends" I said. My mom smiled at them. We went to my room. "Your moms nice" Emma said. "I know. My dad is too. I'm just glad that Rachel and Dave aren't here yet" I said. "It'll be fine" Emma said. "You have a lot of trophies" Becca said, looking at my wall. "Yeah. Since I was always competing with my siblings, I would do as many sports as possible" I said. She laughed. "And that included fencing?" She asked. "No, that was my choice" I smiled. Laughter came from my doorway. I looked over. "It was a dumb choice" Rachel said. I rolled my eyes. "Hello Rachel" I huffed. "Hello Marley. Who are your friends?" She asked. "Girlfriends and don't get any ideas" I snapped. She laughed and walked out. Dave ran in and hugged me. I was so confused. "Uh... hi Dave" I said, confused. "Hey! Its good to see you! Ive bee wanting to see you. I'm sorry that I was an idiot when we were kids" he said. "Its ok?" I said confused. He smiled and walked away. "Looks like someone has sissy issues" Becca said. "You're one to talk" I spat. Becca rolled her eyes.

Its midnight. I snuck out of my room and ran into the backyard. I brought a baseball bat with me. I saw a shadow. "I thought you'd forget" Rachel said, walking into the light. "How could I?" I asked. "Midnight Roulette" we said. "Let me remind you of the rules. Hit the ball into Mr. Ferron's yard without breaking the window and you win. If not then its my turn" she said. I nodded. Mr. Ferron lives three houses down. I dont know why we call it a roulette. Its really not. She threw a baseball at my face and I hit it. It flew and hit the fence. "My turn" she said. We kept taking turns. Rachel and I were both angry. She threw the ball at my face and I had to dodge it. "You Bitch!" I yelled. I threw the bat at her. She caught it. She ran at me and right before she hit me, a hand reached out and grabbed the bat. I looked over. "Becca what are you doing?" I asked. She snatched the bat and threw it across the yard. "Stop fighting. You are sisters. Clearly you cant realize that yourselves so I have to tell you." Becca said. "Oh I know we're sisters but that doesn't change the fact that she's weak. She'll never make it anywhere in life because she cant do anything!" Rachel yelled. "If only you knew what she was capable of. Marley, I love you but I don't think we can spend two days here" Becca said. I nodded and followed her inside. "How did you wake up?" I asked. "You don't move when you sleep so I felt the movement. Also I heard you dragging the metal bat across the tile floor" she said. "Oh" I said. We woke up Hailey and Emma and packed our stuff. "We'll leave in the morning" I said.

In the morning I said bye to my parents and Dave. We're putting our stuff in the car. Rachel pulled me to the side. "Don't think I don't your secret" she snarled and walked off. What is that supposed to mean? We all got in the car. "Lets go to Boston!" I said. "Sorry we had to leave early Marley" Emma said. "Its fine. Its not your fault" I smiled.
