My six amazing brothers

Chapter 9

I walked besides Landon because we had to split up and Riley and Sam wanted to go together. We didn't talk so much, just throwing away old posters and trash.

"So.... What do you do for a living?" I asked just to start a conversation. I hate situations where things are weird and nobody says anything, it makes me feel like I'm too much and people find me boring and I'm not boring. Well that's my opinion at least.

Landon cleared his throat. "Eh, well I guess I just hang out with my friends or play football"

"Oh, you play football?" I said happily. I knew a few things about football, I mean I've watched it my whole life because of my brothers. When Noah and Caleb was in high school and Noah was team captain, the hole family sat on the bleachers eyes glued to field.

"Yeah I do, Ashton and Ethan too" he said. "So we're the youngest ones"

"You three are very tight, right?"

"Well, yeah. We have been friends since second grade so we basically grew up together" he picked up an old soda can. "You're close with that girl Sydney right?"

"Yeah, our parents were friends so we had to be friends but I was lucky it was her. She's like my other half you know. I know it sounds crazy, she's also the only one who doesn't have a crush on my brothers, she hates them so I love her even more" I smiled as we kept walking down the hallway. Landon cleared his throat again.

"Yeah I understand that, I have an older sister and it's kind of the same thing but Ashton and Ethan see her as a sister as well" he smiled slightly. We kept talking about school and our friends for a little bit until we reached the theater, we got in and started throw away trash and posters in there.

I was about to take down a poster but I couldn't reach it. I stood on my tippy toes and tried really hard to get it.

"Need help?" Landon chuckled.

"No I can get it" one thing I haven't mentioned is that I'm very stubborn and I will have it my way at any costs.

"You sure?" He chuckled again "I mean, you're not the tallest person"

"Fuck you" I huffed out. After a millions of tries I gave up. "Okay, can you help me?"

"Ehh... how?" He walked towards me awkwardly.

"You lift me up, you know?" I said looking at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"I can just take it down I can easily reach it, you know" he smirked

"Just shut up and lift me up!" I snapped

"Whatever you say" he mumbled grinning at me.

He lifts me up by my waist and I can feel how awkward he is. I takes the poster down and he puts me down. He took his hands off me as soon as he could. "Thank you" I said satisfied that I almost did what I had planned.

"No worries" he scratched his neck and looked down. 'What's up with him?' He wasn't like this before.

"Okay what's you're problem?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You're really awkward and just ignore eye contact. What's up with that?"

"It's just..." "just what?" I cut him off.

"You're brothers..."

"What?!"

"They kind of... you know, ehh threatened everyone that if someone touch you they will basically kill us" I looked at him with wide eyes. Landon looked down and I think he was really afraid that I would be mad at him. "Ehh a guy in football talked about you and he ended up with a broken arm and a black eye so... plus you're very scary, you know. Everyone knows what happens if anyone does something"
