Song- Crazy In Love

"Luke stop. No Luke! Seriously if you say that one more time I'm going to go crazy!" I was just coming home from school when Luke had called me saying how sorry he is he has to leave Friday.

"MOM IM HOME!" I yell as I enter the house.

"Ok honey! I made some cookies if you and your brother want some," she says from the kitchen.

"I want cookies," Luke says on the other end of my phone.

"Shut up. Stop being sorry for something you can't control!" I sigh as I make my way down the hall with a plateful of cookies.

"I know baby, I just feel bad I have to leave you. Your birthday is coming up and I wanted to spend every minute of it with you."

"I know and that's sweet. I'm just trying to accept the fact you won't be here for like a third of the summer," I sigh and knock on Michael's door.

"What do you want?" He yells through the door.

"I have cookies open the damn door," I say kicking it.

"It's unlocked. I'm dying my hair," he responds as I open the door to a mess.

"Babe do you want me to call you back?" Luke asks making me remember I was on the phone to him.

"No I'm just giving Michael these cookies," I pause looking at Michael with his hands tangled through his hair, "actually yeah I'll call you back. Or better yet just come over in like 10 minutes for something for dinner."

"Ok. I love you, Scarlett."

"I love you, Luke."

I hang up and direct my attention to Michael.

"What the hell are you doing?" I ask him.

"Dying my hair blue. Duh," he says.

"No fair! I was going to dye mine blue. Dye yours black," I tell him.

"No Scar, you would look bad with blue hair I like your hair brown. I want mine blue," I scoff.

"Does mom know?" I ask as I go into the bathroom to grab a towel for him because I know he'll need it.

"Nope. She won't care though. I dye my hair like every other week," Michael shrugs his shoulders.

"Scar can you get me a-" I cut him off by handing him a towel.

"Thank you," he says.

"It's our twin telepathy."

"Too bad we're not twins."

"We basically are."

"Yeah but our birthdays aren't the same day and we look nothing alike."

"Ok shut up it's our sibling powers."

"I'll agree with that," he laughs.

"Looks good," I tell him.

"Thanks. It'll look better when it's dry. So, Luke is leaving?"

I sigh, "yeah. Friday for a month."

"That sucks. So I'm assuming you're just going to like mope around the house for that month?" He asks.

"Yeah probably. Unless Ashton and I go do something."

"Ashton will probably move in," Michael laughs, "he's practically here every time Luke isn't!"

"I don't know," I sigh, "he's been acting weird lately."

"Oh wonder why?"

"Yeah I'm not sure. But hey on a happier note, we should go buy a puppy!!!!!"
