Inheritance Of Secrets

I always win !

I don't really know when I started living at the Hawthorne house. Ever since I met the four brothers they have become my family. Slowly most of my stuff just ended up at the house. I hate my own home so living here is better. The Hawthorne house always felt like my place even if it never belonged to me.

"Anna," Jameson says, "your move,"

"Checkmate" I state as I move the piece. It's kind of sad how I don't even have to try at any games. I just win. I watch Jameson as he studies the board trying to see if I called too early. But I didn't and he will now have to face the terms of our bet.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we are walking back Jameson is covered head to toe in a slimy goop that Xander helped me cover on him.

"You would think I would learn how to win after 10 years of games," Jameson states

"Nine years," I replied, "you just love to play Jamie."

"You know me too well Annabelle,"

"Better than anyone" I say," Hey what do you think of the girl Avery."

"Mystery girl, I'm not sure my grandfather probably just ruined her parents' lives or something."

I bite my thumb nail. There is something much deeper to this girl than I can see. Ever since we found out about her I went on a deep dive. I searched through everything. I don't think I left a single stone unturned.

Jameson stares at me, "What did you find A. you have to tell me."

"Nothing much," I lie, "she's 17, smart, dads a junkie, mum is dead. There really isn't too much about her."

Jameson looks at me funny. I am an extremely great liar. I have been since I was a kid. I noticed how people react when they are lying and telling the truth and apply it to myself. But still sometimes I think people can see through it.

"Well hopefully she will be interesting,"

"Oh I'm sure she will flip your world upside-down."

Jameson blink before replying, "Don't jinx it anna," and in a second he tried to jump on me. I was quick and able to get out of the way but he still left the sticky slime on my shirt. 

"your disgusting-"

"-ly handsome," he smirks 

I turn around and flip him off. 

This house never gets old.

Ahhhhh I finished the first mini part. I will try to make most of the chapter longer than this one. There will be much more drama coming.
