Chapter 19: Target Practice

I woke up and could feel my pillow moving around. I squirmed and smacked the pillow. Why do I have such a hard pillow? My pillow groaned in pain. Pillows don't groan. I opened my eyes and I screamed. I pushed the guy away from me and fell off the bed with all the sheets tangling around me. The door burst open and my dad had a bat in his hand.

I stood up and took in my surroundings. The guy was Mikey and I was in his room. That's when I remembered we were staying at their house. I must have moved in my sleep. My dad came charging to where Mikey was standing in his boxers and yelled at him, "Why did she scream?"

He looked down noticing that Mikey was only in his boxers and he got even madder, "Why are you in your boxers? If you tried to come on to her, I swear-!"

Mikey cut in, "I sleep in my boxers and she screamed because she forgot she was sharing the same bed as me. How would you react if the first thing you saw when you woke up was a man sharing the same bed as you?"

My dad shut up and muttered a quick sorry before walking out the door, closing it behind him. I got the sheets that fell onto the floor and placed them on the bed. I started making the bed and said, "Thanks."

I could see him shaking his head in amusement from my peripheral view as he helped make the bed. We walked downstairs in our pajamas, which meant I was wearing Mikey's clothes and Mikey was in his boxers, as soon as we walked in all eyes were on us. All the guys were clad in boxers except my dad because he had the decency to put pajama pants and a white t-shirt on.

Rosemary was wearing Tyler's clothes, Emily was wearing the clothes we brought for Chris for when he woke up, my mom was wearing one of my dad's shirts with her pajama shorts, and Julie was wearing black shorts with a white tank top.

Mikey grabbed my wrist and walked us over to the table full of food. We ate in a comfortable silence and agreed that Mikey, Jacob, Mason, and I should go to school while Mom, Dad, Julie, Rosemary, Anthony, and Tyler figure some things out.

We all got ready and we school-goers went in Mikey's car and the adults went in my dad's car. We drove to school singing along to My Way by Fetty Wap and as soon as we stepped out of the car the whispers started.

"Why are they here? I thought they all died in a gang fight."

"Oh my god! What happened to Chris and Drew?"

"Aw! Daniela's baby must've died in the car crash!"

Those were all really funny, but my favorite one was, "The baby must've been born already. I wonder who the father is."

We all looked at each other and started laughing. These idiots have nothing interesting in their lives that they have to gossip. We walked into the school and headed towards our lockers. We were at the hallway that separates our lockers and we were going to say goodbye, but Brooke and David walked up to us, "Well look who decided to show their pathetic faces."

I walked up to Brooke and flicked her nose, "Yup, its fake. Do you want me to break it again; maybe the doctors will get it right this time?"

David got in front of Brooke and turned towards Mikey, "You better make your bitch shut up before I make her."

Jacob and Mason shook their heads at David and Mikey clenched his fists. He got in front of me and growled, "I think you're getting confused, but I don't blame you. Your brain is probably too small for you to understand what's going on."

I tried not to laugh at what he said, but I started laughing hysterically when I peeked around Mikey to see Brooke and she didn't look mad at all, almost as if she knew what Mikey was saying was true.
