"I'm home" Jayden screams from downstairs.
"No one cares" Jackie screams back at him.
I kept my mouth shut not wanting to get myself involved in their bickering.
Putting on some oven gloves, I opened the oven and brought out a tray of freshly baked blueberry cookies.
"You're a bitch" Jayden screams at Jackie.
Pls don't be surprised.
They've said worse things.
"Well bitches are female dogs, dogs bark, barks are from trees, trees are part of nature and nature is beautiful. So thanks for calling me beautiful"
Yeah, she's weird.
The look on Jayden's face was... so funny.
I could clearly see the cogwheels working together.
Giggling softly, I grabbed the oven gloves and brought out the steaming apple pie.
"Dinner's ready!" I screamed as my siblings bickering stopped.
"Oh thank God. I'm starving" said Jay taking his seat at the table.
"What a surprise?" Jackie scoffed sitting two seats away from him.
And then the bickering began.
I set the table while waiting for mom and dad.
"We're home, kids" mom shouted making me smile.
"Welcome home" I said smiling at her.
"Thanks dear. I thought I had three kids" said mom pulling me for a hug.
I smiled at her when I suddenly remembered the spaghetti I kept on the cooker.
"I'll be right back" I said running into the kitchen.
After making sure to turn the cooker off, I began to load the dishes outside.
We might be a small family but we eat like a community.
I smiled when I saw dad and greeted him also making him smile and nod at me.
I sat in between my sulking siblings and after sharing the grace, we dug in.

I sat on my bed writing today's event in my diary.
I crossed today's date out and smiled when I realized that tomorrow is my birthday.
How exciting!
April first.
Last year, my birthday was on a Sunday and I suffered greatly because two pranksters teamed up against me.
Since they're not on good terms.
Maybe I'll enjoy my last birthday in high school.
I set my alarm and laid on my bed.
I wasn't expecting any texts or calls since I didn't have any friends.
I try to please people but end up displeasing myself.
So yeah, no friends more me.
And with that, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
