"Wakey, wakey!"

I groaned, almost falling down the bed when I turned over. Asher rolled me back onto the bed and let out a laugh.

"Wake up, sweetheart," he said, gently, trying to shake me awake. "It's time to get ready for school!"

"Hellhole," I corrected him, burying my face in my pillow.

"Yes. That." Asher agreed before ripping the comforter away from me. I whined and threw a pillow at him.

"I don't wanna go today," I whined, which was followed by him chuckling.

"You say that everyday," Asher said, pulling me up to sit. I tried to wiggle back into my sleepy heaven but he sat in front of me and held my shoulders.

"You're being mean," I said, struggling to keep my eyes open.

"No leniency when it comes to school." He shrugged. I groaned and swung my feet down the bed, mumbling stuff under my breath to which my dear favourite brother just laughed.

"Meet you in the kitchen, love," he called, before I heard him leaving the room.

I dragged my feet to the bathroom to get ready. I actually made progress, because in about half an hour I was dragging my feet down to the kitchen.

"Stop walking like that," cane Damien's voice from behind me. He ruffled my hair as he walked past me and entered the kitchen. I shook my head, to get the hair out of my face.

"Okay. Cheer up," Asher said, shaking his head as soon as he saw me enter the kitchen with a scowl. "We don't throw tantrums for school because you're going, no matter what."

I groaned and slumped down in my seat.
"I really don't wanna go today."

"Why?" Asher asked, giving me a look before he got busy with cooking again.

"Because!" I whined, putting my head down at the table. I heard another thump of someone putting their head down and turned to look to my left.

"Same," Jayden said, scowling behind me at Asher.

"Great. We have two of them," Asher grumbled, which made me scowl too.

Damien laughed at that.
"Cheer up, grumpies," he said. "At least, you have boyfriends at school."

"Hey!" Jayden snapped. I tried to control my laughter but couldn't. "I have a whole fucking girlfriend, Damien."

"There's no reason to be offended, Jayden," Damien said, coolly. "Being gay isn't something bad."

"But I'm not!" Jayden groaned. He then flicked my forehead for laughing at him then went back to sulking.

"Who is his girlfriend?" Damien whispered, leaning closer to me.

I kept my face squished against the table and let out a little shrug.
"Changes every week."

"This little brat." Damien shook his head, with a smirk on his face.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I asked.

"Changes every month," he answered, the smirk glued to his face.
