I can't believe I just flirted with a guy! At least, I think I flirted with him. All I know is my heart is racing like a racecar right now, and my palms feel really hot and sweaty. What is going on?! I ran straight to the girl's restroom to wash my hands and my face. Drying off my still pinkish face, I can't help but laugh. Am I really going to flirt with a guy I barely know, and accidently met in a cemetery? I walk out of the bathroom, replaying the conversation over and over in my head. I went throughout the rest of the day in a daydream, thinking about Ben. I didn't even know I was home until... "Jerry,Terry!! Don't you dare touch my camera! Cannon, Tannon!! If I find you licking my pillow, I'm going to kill you! Stephen, Ethan!! Don't you DARE start taking your clothes off!" I scream while finding each pair. "Donny, Johnnie!! Where are you two?" I look throughout the house. They're not there. "Donny, Johnnie!! Where are you two?! If I find out you two were making out with random girls again-" "Ember James," a voice cuts me off. "They're at football practice, remember?" I go to the fridge and find a note that says:
Anyone who's reading this, Johnnie and I went to football practice. We will be back by eight or nine.
-Donny and Johnnie
I sigh in relief as I walk to my room and toss my backpack into my bed. That's when I get a text from Dad.
Dad: Your step mom and I will be home a little later than usual. ☹️ I have some money sitting under my pillow so The Boys don't get it. Please get something for all of you to eat for dinner. 🍕🍟🍔🌯 We will be home by ten, and we better find all of you in bed when we get home, got it? 😐 4:00 P.M.
Ember James: Got it! We'll probably have pizza. And just so you know, Johnnie and Donny are at football practice. They said they would be back around eight or nine. Do we wait to eat with them or just save some for them to eat when they get home? 4:04 P.M.
Dad: Just save two slices each for them in the fridge. 🍕🍕 Also, you guys can watch something on TV, alright? 📺 Just please don't watch anything too gory, or romantic. And please turn off the show if you even THINK it's going that way, okay? 🙁 4:08 P.M.
Ember James: Okay, Dad. Love you! 4:13 P.M.
Dad: Love you more!! 😘🥰❤️💋 4:17 P.M.
I roll my eyes and smile. He is really proud about knowing how to use emojis. I go up to get the money, and call the pizza place to get pizza.
"Pizza!!" I yell, having my plate in hand and grabbing two of the biggest pieces. Being in charge has its perks, and this is one...having the first pick, and the biggest piece. I step back as I hear screaming, yelling, and running so I don't get ran over. That's when the stampede of boys came pushing and shoving their way to the pizza. "I want that slice!!" "No, I want it!!" "I want this slice!" "Come on! I want it!!" Finally, they figure out who had what slice and run to the couch, where one grabs the TV remote and turns on Models-. Before I could finish reading the title, I quickly swooped in and swiped the remote to turn off the show. "EMBER JAMES!!" They all moan-scream at once. "We were watching that!!" "Dad put me in charge, and said none of this." I reply, clicking on a show about baby rainbow unicorns. "This is what you all should be watching." They moan, and I laugh. "I'm just joking. Here." I get out of the show and click on an action show about a bus that has a bomb on it. "This movie is supposed to be a good one. It has tons of action." The Boys grin excitedly, wolfing down their pizzas.
