First day of hell and we are already starting the day off on a bad note. Dad woke up in a bad mood this morning. I believe him and mom got into an argument last night because I hear things being thrown around. Now how should I style my hair? well It has to be perfect seeing how that is how my father would want it to be. My father huh should I even call him that. I mean he is the man that raised me but he isn't my biological father.I don't even know the man that is my biological father all I know is that he got my mom pregnant with me and then he left. And I got stuck with this family: an abusive father, a mother that tries her best, and good brother's.

Although they have their flaws as well, like Garroth thanks to him we have to put on this perfect act whenever we go out or go to school. And now dad requires each of us to join a sport all because Garroth decides he wants to join baseball. Then there is Zane who is smart in his own way, always joining clubs and winning tournaments. Zane did try to make a name for himself outside of being Garroth's younger brother, but the way he went about it got him in trouble and father didn't like that very much. Then there is Vylad, the smartest of my brothers, always getting good grades and winning trophies. He is so smart he skipped a grade and was able to be a freshman around the same time as Zane.

Which doesn't help me. In my case it's always "where are your trophies or medals?" or if I even slip to a "B" in my classes the teacher who always had my brothers would be like "Y/N I expected better from you". Like they already put me in a category because my last name is Ro'meave. No matter what I do to try and escape it seems I will always be put in the category. People look at me and the first thing that pops in their brains is "oh my gosh its Garroth/Zane/Vylad little sister she's so perfect". When that's the furthest thing from the truth about me but who am I to speak up about it no one will even listen to me or hear me. Perfect, my hair is good. I decided on a low bun to keep that perfect image.

Now to make our way to school hopefully the boys have left already so I can walk to school by myself so nobody will know automatically that I'm their sister. It's quite I think dad had left or maybe he passed out on the couch hopefully it's the first option. To my luck he's passed out on the couch. I'm just going to grab a granola bar and leave so I don't make any noise and wake him up. I don't see the boys around. Maybe my luck is turning around, maybe they left but at the same time Garroth would have texted me to let me know ahead of time. And they are right by the mailbox, just great.

"Are you guys seriously going to do this every year?" y/n asked clearly annoyed

"We just want to make sure you arrive safely baby sister." Garroth said cheerfully

"I know and thank you but you do know I'm not a little girl anymore." y/n said happily

"Alright you two let's get a move on we can't afford to be late" Vylad said cheerfully

"Yeah, yeah we are coming" y/n and Garroth said sarcastically

The walk to school was pretty quiet which makes sense seeing how we each have to put on a fake face when we reach campus. Garroth with his prince charming persona, Zane with his perfect student persona, and Vylad with his sweet innocence persona. My persona is like a combination of all three of them, not like I had a choice seeing how everyone likes to put me in a box. Sometimes I wish I could disappear but I can't. At least it's a new school year. Maybe I will make a friend that sees the true me and doesn't try to use me to get close to my brothers. It has happened before with a couple of "friends" they found out about them being my brothers and befriended me. Only to turn around and spread rumors about me because my brothers didn't want to date them.

We finally reached the school and the boys went about their business to their respected sport or clubs. Thankfully having older brothers come in handy so I'm not completely lost on my first day. But still it's so nerve wrecking people looking at me trying to determine my relationship with "the Ro'meave brothers". It's mainly girls thinking that I might be their girlfriend or trying to figure out how to use me to get close to them. I'm just going to sit by the fountain reading my book and listening to music. I normally would write in my journal so later I have inspiration to write a song but I don't trust this school just yet. To bring out my journal one these girls might try and start trouble all because I was around my brothers.
