All grown up

Trip pt.1

"Hey Dad." I say hugging my father. He just came back from a business trip in Cali.
"What's up Sky?" He asks while hugging me back.

We arrived at home just to go and pack for our little trip with the Shepherds. After our amazing sleep over yesterday our parents decided to have a little trip to the mountains.
"Pretty bad. I think I catched the cold. Do you think I have to go to the mountains. I really don't feel nice."
I fake cough, making my dad laugh.
"It won't be that bad."
"You have no idea. You are not even coming." I say. Since Brodie's and Nika's parents are divorced my dad wouldn't have anybody to talk to.
"Yeah. But you should be grateful. Now just pack your things." He says, rolling his eyes.

"Can you please turn the music down?" I ask, looking out of the window. We are seeking attention.
"No can do, Princess." The devil says.
We are currently in his jeep. Our moms and Nika are taking one car to the mountains and I stuck here with the boys.

"I said don't call me that, Finn." He rolls his eyes.
"Princess."
"Finn."
"Princess."
"Finn."
"Princess."
"Fi..."

"Are you guys fucking serious? Skylar stop." My brother jumps in.
"But he started it." I say, pointing at Brodie.
"Yeah but Princess shouldn't be that bad. I mean it's a title at least. And you know he hates his first name so drop it." He hisses.
"I can't believe you. You know what? Fine, I'll stop." I say, crossing my arms across my chest and sit back into my seat.

"Skylar could you give me a bottle of water from the bag next to you, please?" Brodie asks. We are still on the road. We are probably just driving for like 20 mimutes but it feels like we're on the road for ages.
"Skylar?" He repeats. I'm still not talking to anybody im this car.

"Fine, be like that. Dude, can you reach the bag next to her?" He asks my brother, shooting me a glance over the mirror.
"Sure. Skylar pass me the bag." He demands. I lift it up and watch his face lit up. But instead of giving him the bag I just put it on the other side, making it impossible for him to reach it.

"Are you fucking serious?" He glares at me.
"Damn it Skylar. Just drop it. I'm sorry okay? I'm not going to call you princess again. But I'm driving and it's like 1000 degrees in this car. So if you don't want to die because I lost my control and crash against something, then please give me the fucking bottle." Brodie says.

I smile and pull out the bottle. I take a huge gulp and put it back in the bag. He stops the car on the side road and steps out. He opens my door and takes the bag, brushing my arm and sending goosebumps all over it. Oh hell no. Don't you dare getting all tingly around that guy.

"God dear, you are exaggerating." He says taking some gulps.
I just roll my eyes and glare at him because of the new nickname. He puts the bottle back in and places the bag on my lap. He then slams the door shut and goes back to the drivers seat.

"Okay guys. We are going to split up. Brodie, Halen and Skylar this way. And we are going this way. We should meet eachother on the top. There's a beautiful picnic place. If you don't make it just go back to the cars." My mom says and gives us a map.
We all agree and start going.

"Dude I thought you had training today." My brother asks Brodie.
"Yeah, but my mom called and said I'm sick." He says, making me roll my eyes.

"That's funny. Skylar pretended she'd be sick today too haha." Halen says and looks at me.
"Oh. Why?" Brodie asks me. I continue walking.
"Oh I forgot. You're mad." He adds.
I just glare at him. I know I'm overreacting but they are so frustrating and bipolar. Like they are so nice when I don't talk. So I'm just going to enjoy this as long as I can.
"I guess we just need to make her speak." My eyes widen.

"I have just the thing." My brother answers, taking something out of his bag.
"Dude. That's perfect. Pass me that." Brodie says and I glare at him.
He holds up the watergun.
"Speak." He says. I don't and can soon feel my hair getting wet with ice cold water. Oh well. So much too nice, when I'm not talking.

"Oh my God. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Why can't you just leave me alone for once?" I yell and run my hand through my hair. This is going to look shitty when it dries.
"Wow. Calm down. It's just water." Brodie says.

"I don't care. I thought you guys grew up. To shoot me with a watergun is so original. How did you come up with that? Oh yeah wait it's what you always did when we were little. Just stop. I hate you. I hate spending time with you. I simply hate you. Now leave me the fuck alone." I hiss and watch his face fall.

"You always had a thing for being dramatic. Suck it up. It's just water Skylar. Do you think I like spending time with you? I'm actually trying. But you are the one who refuses to even give my family a chance. We know eachother since we were born. You don't hate me. You couldn't. And even if you would, I don't care. I never did. So please just suck it up." The devil says.
"Okay. Fine, let's go. I don't want to miss the picnic." I say.
"There she is." My brother laughs.

I feel bad for telling him I hate him. I could see his face fell as he said he didn't care. But he is so immature and argh.... just annoying.
