Me? Love Him? No Way!

Meet The Family [E]

It was a typical Friday afternoon. I was watching TV in the living room, biting my fingernails. Bad habit of mine. My sister, Elle, and her best friend, Lea, were upstairs in Elle’s room. I was waiting for one of my close friends, Emily to get here. Ugh, where was she? She was supposed to be here like 20 minutes ago.

TRRRRRINGGGG

I heard the doorbell go and sprang up with a grin.

''I got it!'' I yelled and opened the door. Instead of my 5'5 tall, best friend was my big brother, Michael. Oh and this day just gets better and better, in following him comes his friends, Jack, Nate and Aiden. Believe me, I love my brother to bits but right now I was waiting for Emily.

''Hey Andy!'' he greeted me, ruffling up my hair. He went in, without waiting for a reply but I gave him one anyway.

''Damn Michael, you know I hate it when you do that!'' I yell, trying to straighten it. His friends followed after and I closed the door behind them. I could hear Jack and Nate laughing and Aiden trying to stop himself but failing miserably. They all gathered into the living room and plopped down on the couches, taking out the controllers.

I rolled my eyes. They were probably gonna play ‘Call Of Duty’ or something.

Aiden brushed his hands at his blonde locks, brushing them aside and flashing a dimpled smile. His sea blue eyes really stood out on his pale face. he was really lean but was really tall, probably around a good 6 foot. He was probably the most understanding and decent one out of my brother’s friends.

Jack was the shortest, only a few inches taller than me, with huge muscles bulging. He had jet black hair that he grew to his shoulders, and grayish eyes that only added to his oh so envied rockstarish looks. It didn’t help that he could indeed play the drums.

Nate on the other hand was the tallest, and most perverse of all my brother’s friends… actually he held the record over of all the guys I know! He had mousy brown hair that were stick straight – and I will admit, I am the slightest bit envious of his always straight hair, I mean I only got that kind of hair when I spent an hour with the straightener in my room! – and light brown eyes. He also had a tattoo of a scorpion that covered his entire back, and no you’re not allowed to ask me how I know that though I will say ‘get your mind out of the gutter’.

My brother and me looked quite similar, both taking after our dad. Both with curly dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. The difference was in our heights, I stood a proud 5’7 and him 5’10.

Only Isabelle, or Elle, took after mom. She had mom’s long wavy blonde hair and her cat-like green eyes that always looked like they analyzed you. It was a terrifying stare.

The doorbell rang for the second time today.

TRRRRRINGGGG

''I'll get it.'' I said again and raced back to the door. But luckily this time it was Emily.

''Where the hell have you been?'' I asked her angrily. She held up her hands defensively.

''Before you go apeshit on me, I just wanna say I went into 'La Paris' and grabbed us some highlights for the party tonight. Besides traffic was crazy.'' I relaxed instantly. I'm not a very angry person.

“I’m sorry ‘kay?” she apologized, shaking her head as she entered the house. I closed the door behind her as we talked to the stairs.

‘’At least text me next time. I was worried.’’ I grumbled.

‘’You’re always worried. Which is specifically why we call you the mom of the group.’’ She chuckled.

It wasn’t a new fact. I was always reminded how much I nagged and sounded like a mom. Well for all my life, I technically had been to my siblings, since our real one hadn’t really bothered being there.

''Ok, let's go to my room, we'll use my bathroom.'' I said still scowling. She followed me and we both climbed up the stairs and went into my room, locking the door.

Last time we didn’t, the boys had entered, and well the result was that we all had multi-colored streaks. It took a few weeks to get rid of as well, so I basically had to walk around school with half my head a lime green and streaked with pink.

Only Avril Lavigne can rock that look, that’s what I learnt from that incident.

Oh and also to always lock the door when you’re doing something messy in a house full of teenage male boys.

''Ok let's get to work!'' Emily said; a mischievous glint in her eyes as she rubbed her hands.

---------------------------------------------

After about 2 hours we emerged from my room. Me with golden highlights and Emily with pink highlights to her dark black hair. We bumped into Elle and Lea on our way down the stairs and Elle gasped dramatically.

‘’Andy…’’ she warned. I know, I know. I know what she was about to say.

''Drop it, Elle,'' I told her, rolling my eyes as we stepped down the rest of the way. ''It's for the party anyway, so if I’m late don’t bother waiting for me!''

‘’I’m staying at Lea’s tonight!’’ she yelled back from the top of the stairs. Another common thing. It was either Elle there or Lea here. They were always at each other’s place. An advantage, I guess, when you lived only two streets away.

''Hey Andy! Emily!'' My brother called out to us. We looked at each other and walked to the living room. I took a seat on the couch and turned to Mike.

''Whoa Andy, being a rebel are we?'' He laughed, noticing the highlights straight away. His eyes narrowed for a second on the dress I had on but he didn’t comment. I didn’t party often, he knew that. I just smiled back and said,

''Yes as a matter of fact, we,’’ I indicated me and Emily as one ‘’are going out to Jamie's party'' I stood up to leave when Michael caught my arm,

''Jamie Campbell?'' he asked.

''Yeah Mike, his name is Jamie Campbell, he’s a friend and he’s specially invited us,’’ ay seeing him hesitate a second, I continued quickly. ‘’And you’re not stopping me either. Not tonight.''

Emily took my car keys from me and stood up. ‘’I’m gonna wait in the car.’’

I nodded at her and she smiled before exiting the room and the house. I turned to the boys. ‘’I’m going to a party. I don’t wanna come home to one. You can order takeout if you want, the numbers are on the fridge, as you know…’’ I ticked off, and looked up to stare at them sternly.

‘’We know, we know, babe.’’ Jake smirked, leaning back. Aiden and Nate who were staring intently at the screen were destroying zombies. They probably didn’t hear a word I said.

‘’I’m off, then.’’ I smiled, standing up and wiping imaginary dust off of me as I made my way to the door.

‘’You better not do something I wouldn’t Andy.’’ warned Mike, one last time.

‘’I know, I’m not an immature girl heading off to her first party idiot. Now all of you better behave. Bye.’’ I walked out and banged the door shut. It was warm outside, which made me glad I hadn’t brought that pullover Emily insisted I wear, along with me.

I looked up and Emily leaned over the passenger’s seat, honking the honk, waving at me to hurry up. I laughed and walked quickly, opening the door and sitting inside the leather seats.

Oh my car had to be the best car in the world... my red Porsche Carrera GT. She was just beautiful. I grinned at Emily before driving out and speeding along to Jamie’s house.
