Emily’s POV :

Sitting in my room , studying for my upcoming exam at 3 in the morning isn’t something everyone enjoys but I sometimes do and that’s what I am doing right now .

Today I have my Physics exam (might I add I love Physics) and I am studying for it just 7 hrs before.

I couldn’t concentrate anymore,  I started thinking about my messed up , yes luxurious but messed up life . I was literally drowning in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door.  Before I could respond the door opened revealing my 16 year old handsome brother.

“Why are awake at this hour James?” I asked him.

“Well, I couldn’t sleep just like you” I nodded my head and he continued “and besides it’s 5 in the morning so…” Wait what !?! It’s already 5 ? Last I checked it was 3. Was I studying or thinking for soo long ?
He sat beside me on my bed.

He  stared at me for awhile and sighed ,“I know you too well to not to know that you are deep in thought about something. ”he said .

I hate to know that he was correct.  Why does he have to know me this well? Nevertheless I decided to deny , after all I didn’t want my brother to worry about me.

“I am fine James , I am not thinking about anything.  You don’t have to worry.”

“As if I believe you… but fine, I don’t want to argue with you right now”, I giggled at this.

“Now honestly tell me James . Why are here?”

“Idk , I was just wondering whether you were ok”

“Ooooohh  look over here, my little bro is worried about me” I teased him ruffling his hair.

“Of course I am worried about you,  you’re my sister” I smiled.

“Why wouldn’t I be ok?”

“You know, after your breakup with Aaron you have been a little distant”

“I am fine James, I told you that many times. Yes, I am a little sad about my breakup but it’s not a big deal. Stop worrying ok?” I was touched by my brother’s worry for me. I love my brother, he is my everything, I can’t let him worry about me. It was me who was supposed to take care of him , not the other way around.

“OK sis”, he replied. 
“Now go and take some rest while you can, you have school today” I told him and kissed his cheek.

“Gross Emily, don’t do that" he said while rubbing his hand on cheek where I kissed him. I laughed at his antics as he went to his room.

 
Let me tell you all something about me .

My name is Emily Campbell, I recently turned 19.
( You guys can imagine her as Yael Shelbia, I posted the photo above)
I am quite popular in my college but truth to be told I hate spotlight. I score good grades and am one of the main Badminton player representing our college.
My parents are divorced,  I live with my 37 year old mom- Hannah Dawson (she uses her before marriage name) and my 16 year old brother James Campbell. We live in Minneapolis. My dad, David Campbell along with my step mom, Sarah and their kids lives in New Haven, Connecticut. We are kinda rich.

My mom, I don’t even know why I still call her that,  isn’t really motherly.  I mean yes she is mine and my brother’s financial support and makes sure that we are in a good condition  but still she doesn’t exactly behave like how a mom should, well at least not after her divorce with my dad.

This is all you should know about me , for now …

I hope you all liked this chapter,  I will post next chapter soon.
