Mystery Girl

Bonding time

I was eating breakfast alone quietly with my notebook as I wrote revenge and started to think of ideas. I didn't even realize my brother walk in. "the poem that you read, is that really how you feel" I slightly jumped at the sound of his voice "yes and no, mostly yes" I said looking down at my plate of food suddenly losing my appetite. I put my extra food in a container and into the fridge as I put my dirty plate in the sink. As I was about to grab my book to leave our parents walked in and ordered us to sit. Mom spoke first, "we have to leave for awhile" and that's when dad continued "we don't know when we're getting back but we are leaving you two alone." My brother and I gave each other a look. "When do you leave?" I asked curiously. "Sunday morning" mom answered.
"Can we throw a party? Next Friday is my birthday." Everyone looked at me shocked "you want to throw a party?" My brother asked amused. I looked at mom hoping she's say yes. "Fine, in one condition, it's next Friday night and I get to help you plan with the planners this week." I jumped up in joy "does this mean I'm missing school for the week to plan" this is where she jumped up "yes we'll start tomorrow you and your brother can discuss theme today but that's it." Dad didn't like the idea but he went with it knowing he wasn't going to get a say in any of this.

My brother and I were at the mall walking and talking about themes. "I don't like what you're wearing" he said to change the subject. "Well what I wear isn't up to you and mom is cool with it so I don't care" I stated.
"its summer weather all the time why don't we stick with that, we can do a Hawaiian theme" I said before I continued, "and you'd love it girls would be practically naked." I can see him starting to smirk and enjoying the idea. We looked around to see what that could include and started to build up in that.

By the time we got home it was around 11. We were just driving around and talking about random things. Like my brother isn't as big as an asshole as I thought. Apparently he would defend me and that's why I wasn't that bullied at school. Things could have been a lot worse for me if it wasn't for him. I also learned that he did care about his grades. They weren't the best but they were impressive. He also doesn't like his girlfriend it's just for show. I personally like this but I prefer that he'd be with someone he actually cares for.

There wasn't much to do at home. Well there was nothing to do at home. I had already finished all my homework. I went to the living room to see my brother starting to fall asleep on the couch. "Don't fall asleep yet, I want pizza" I said slightly scaring him. "So order it" he said sounding annoyed. "Or we can go to a place we used to love, come on I'm driving, you're gonna see how my baby looks moving" I stated. He grunted as he stood up and followed me towards my car. "The way you talk about your car is disgusting" I just laughed at him as the car started and the music on the radio started playing at a medium volume. As we drove fourfiveseconds was playing and I turned up the volume and started singing in the top of my lungs while my brother laughed and soon joined. I turned into a parking spot, lowered the music and turned off the car. We left the car and made our way inside to this little diner.

"We haven't been here since you were 4" my brother said smiling. "I know, I miss having our family dinners here but it's not the same anymore" he looked at me confused when I said this. "It's just, things are different they're more work crazed then family crazed" I admitted. The waitress, Emily came and took our orders "can I get a vanilla milkshake and a cheese pizza" my brother said ordering the exact same thing he got as a kid. the girl took his order and smiled. "And can I get a chocolate milkshake and a pepperoni pizza" I said with a slight smile but the waitress gave me a disgusted look. And left with our orders. After 10 minutes our milkshakes came and after another 10 our pizzas came. You can see it was freshly made and you could also smell it. We indulged into the food and paid the bill and left.

On the car ride home my brother started laughing as he looked at the bill. "She said 'I hope that's not your girlfriend, she's not pretty enough for you' and she wrote down her number" I could see the tears as he laughed hard "call her" he looked at me confused and did so.

"Hello?"
"Hi Emily, you just gave me your number"
"Oh hey handsome, you left the tramp!" I started laughing and took the phone
"Hi Emily, this is his sister you know the tramp, I was wondering how many magazine covers you've done"
"Umm none why"
"Because I've done over 10, so how exactly am I not pretty enough for my own brother when we have similar looks" she was silent and I hung up. I gave the phone back and he started laughing. He was crying from all this laughter.

He laughed into the house causing our parents to give us questioning looks. And we explained the whole story. They laughed with us and we all went to bed. This week is going to be crazy with my mom.
