Blue As The Sky On July

5. Sam

My parents aren't at home when I arrive. The only one there is my brother, liying on the sofa.
- Hello little rat.
- Hey, why do you always call me like that?- he says following me into the kitchen.
- I don't know, I think that the fact that you cut your hair like that is the best reason.
He has a buzz cut, not the ones that look like a bowl, because I told him that if he did that I was going to kick him out.
He looked at me with his brown eyes directly to me. And then it looks like he remembered something important.
- Well, how was your day? - he looks interested, but I know it is all fake.
- Do you care now about my life?
- So I can't ask you anything now?
- I mean you can, but you could do it less obvious.
- I just want to know if there was someone pretty and I can get to meet your girlfriend someday.
Even though I came out to my brother not long ago, he understood it very well and now he asks me about my personal life as if he was a mother and that makes me smile.
- You know that if I had a girlfriend you are the last person that I would show her around.
- Why? Because I would steal her from you? -He says sitting on the kitchen isle while I pour myself a glass of water.
- No, just because she would run away if she saw you.
We both laugh, knowing that it's a lie because he would be the only one I could show around to people.
- Well, do you want to talk about the new girl?
- Okay, umm... She is shy, but not quiet.
- Can you explain me that so my thirteen year-old braincells understand it?
- When we told her our names, the only thing she said was "hello, nice to meet you" but we started talking and she ended up being open and sharing her opinions to everyone as she has known us for a very long time. Oh, and she has the most beautiful green eyes that I have seen in my entire life.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Do you like her?
- I don't think so, we just met and we didn't talk much, she basically spoke to Lana and Will.
- And do you think she likes you?
- How do you want me to know that, little rat?
We hear the door open and we stop talking, Taylor gets off the isle and I finish my glass of water.
- Let's go upstairs. -I say to my brother pointing the stairs.
When we are finally there, we smile to each other and he gesticulates "Text?" I nod and we go to our bedrooms.
