Pete
There were noises everywhere,it was hurting badly like I was being  stabbed from the inside 

I was scared and breaking  down I held my legs tightly with my face tucked between my knees  hiding under a desk from the pain outside the dark room I  hid in

I could here the sirens the screams the strange footsteps  that aggressively kissed the loose wooden floor boards of the echoey hall I  couldn't tell where I was ,what I was doing there but I knew that I was in pain and it only got worse my heartbeat was to loud, to loud for me to think straight I couldn't think at all, the pain it was too much I couldn't hold it back anymore and with that I let out a pained scream

Mom

It came as a  shock but I had full knowledge of  what that pained cry was, I quickly grabbed a wet towel ran up the stairs to my daughter's room to find her  siblings hoarded around her distressed physique as she struggled for breath I made my way through the kids and sat next to my  pained daughter and dabbed the towel  gently against her frightened form as her breathing became steady

I watched as the clods of sweat and tears rushed down her face  it was clear that these were.the works of nightmares but as a mother I couldn't help but feel there was more to it, more to these  painful  reoccurrences but I knew as little as she did about what this
was .

Pete
I casually made my way to my closet ,I let my hands fiddle through my clothes looking for what's suitable for the occasion I'm air quoting by the way,

anyway today is my first day of highschool in a new school and for some reason my family's emphasis on my elder sisters  are making a big deal out of it I mean I got this I'll just not do what every stupid teen character does in every highschool teen movie I've seen,anyway about this new school I'm going to it's on scholarship yup your girl got a scholarship I don't even know how I got in, I filled absolutely no form but the files where there and my records were intact so destiny I guess anyway this school turns out to be some big shot over the top school for snotty rich kids  and I can't stand them  I'm gonna kill it, so I really don't get why every one's worried

  
  "kids get dressed and get down here the bus will soon be arriving and I'm not gonna get another you can do it encouraging speech from your principal" mum yelled in her usual stressed tone this became a morning anthem for mom and I don't blame her  with the quadruplets in university mom has nine kids to prepare for school and to adorable but annoying twins to take care of
I'd   be at rehab by now if I were her

I gently pulled out a huge black polo  and man-overed  unto my tiny  physique and by tiny I mean tiny I'm fifteen and I could literally be mistaken for a ten  year old,  when I turned fifteen my feminine qualities started showing a little which I honestly didn't want considering that I may no longer be mistaken for a guy or some ten year old boy

I made sure that my feminine features where practically invisible under the shirt and slipped on a camo  beanie which matched my short and my sweet black kicks and boom dressed for success I blurted cockily 

 
"if classless rogue boy is what you where going for then yh success", Gabby  stated sarcastically

"thanx that is what was going for" replying Gabby's  usual sarcastic criticism

  "for crying out loud Pete this is highschool we're talking about and to make things even worse its at a new  school "  Chloe exclaimed rather concerned which was wierd cause she rarely cares about anyone's problems 

"So" I retorted with an unconcerned look  still not getting what all the fuss was about

"So if you even make the tiniest mistake it would hunt you for the rest of your  highschool life what do you mean by soo ( mimicking my actions  not realizing she started yelling )

" gabby chill I'll be fine,  nothing's going to go wrong   and if something does go wrong I won't let it get to me, chill it's me ( giving a cocky smirk )

"that's why I'm worried" Gabby said still not letting it go

   "Gabby  let it go" hoping she finally  shuts up

"but " Gabby protested

" seriously let it gooooo ( slowly mouthing my words to get them to sink in 

"God , your hopeless I can't even" Gabby remarked with her usual sass but she knew her words were pointless

I casually left the room for breakfast  deliberately ignoring Gabby's ranting I pulled up a chair and shuved a handful of cereal in my mouth

" eewww why do you always have to eat straight  from the carton" ruby stated not failing to show her disgust,

"because it taste terrible with milk I retorted with a mouthful making sure that some of the cereal in my mouth spilled on her just for teasing sake 

" well it's gross " she replied rather rudely  cleaning of the cereals that I spilled on her with  obvious irritation,

" well I don't care" still eating from the carton making a silly face just to tick her off, don't blame that's just the way we relate when you come from a big family like mine you can't help but bicker and fight it's just the way things are it is not possible to not argue with someone when you share a room with seven girls your gonna loose your mind and don't get me started on the bathroom and unfortunately for me all my sister's take over an hour in the bathroom it is beyond frustrating and man does it get on my nerves plus I'm the middle kid so most of the downs of a big family affect me the most

"kids the bus is here get in now " mom yelled from the  front yard where she had just finished watering her flowers. I watched as my siblings scampered round the house  getting thier stuff and leaping into the bus right after they left a goodbye  kiss on mom's cheeks she waved them goodbye as the bus drove  of

My mum returned back  in
  "okay Pete first day of a new school you ready to go" she said with a proud smirk,

"mmmhmm"
I replied assuringly
