For the first time in a while I'm excited today. I have no idea why I just am. I even woke up a bit earlier than normal to apply my makeup better today. Something about today just feels good.

I apply my makeup a bit faster than usual and grab my supplies for school. I put on an outfit that makes it look like I actually tried and then head downstairs and start making breakfast for my brother and I.

"Ow" I say, shaking my hand. "Shit man that fucking hurt." I pull my hand up to my mouth to blow on it. I then run it under some cool water and wait for it to feel better. I just started making breakfast and I already burned myself. Great. Just great. Today was supposed to be good but with this start I can't see it going much better.

"Dang something smells good." I hear my brother say walking down the stairs. I take my hand out of the cool water and continue cooking while my brother then sits on the island behind me.

"You look... nice" He says from behind me. I turn around with the scrambled egg in the pan.

"Why..?" He says continuing his earlier comment. I put the eggs onto his plate and turned back around to the kitchen where my plate is located, then I replied to his comment.

"I don't really know I just felt like dressing up today"

"Oh alright, well anyways my friend is coming over after work. I know it's late notice but since it's Friday and you have a tournament tomorrow do you mind staying at Marrisas house tonight so he can use your room? Pleaseeeeee." He asks with puppy dog eyes.

"You can't be serious, why can't he just sleep on the couch, or in your room and you sleep on the couch."

"Well I kinda told him he should stay here, and I would let him use my room but I have a bunch of important stuff all over the place that can't be moved. So it would just be more comfortable for him."

"Who cares about what's more comfortable for him, what about what's more comfortable for me!?" I say, letting my anger show a bit.

"Please Sofia." He says very desperately.

"Fine on one condition." I say.

"Yes, anything, what do you want."

"Buy me as much ice cream as I want for 2 months." I say with a satisfied grin.

"2 weeks." He negotiates back.

"1 month no more no less."

"Deal."

"Deal."

He sighs then mumbles something else.

"How much ice cream can a girl really consume in one month anyways." He says under his breath.

"Oh you'd be surprised." I say, taking a bite of my eggs.

"Oh one last thing." I heard Andrew say as he grabbed his plate and started walking to the stairs. "Well be here at 6 with his stuff so if you could be finished getting your things ready by then that would be great. Oh and also maybe clear out one of the drawers too. Thanks love ya." He finishes his sentence before he's out of ear shot.

Shit. Is the only thing I can think of right now. Why did I agree to this? I grab my phone out to text Marissa and ask her if I can stay with her tonight. She responds almost immediately with an excited "YES!" Then I see the bubbles pop up again then I see another text. "Well I have a date with Marcus tonight at 5:30 but that should be over at around 9. So if you need to get there sooner you can, you know where the spare key is." I sigh and text her back. "Ok see you then. Love ya." Then I shut my phone off and head to school.
