Chapter 3 – Smurfs and the Voices in my Head

Once I’d finished getting dressed and collecting all the books I’d need for school to put them in my bag, I grabbed my shoes – funnily enough, they were the ones Rhos fell over- and made my way downstairs. When I got to the bottom of the staircase I ran into Aspen who, even after spending half the night in the shower, still had bright green hair. I smirked at his annoyed expression.

“Nice hair you’ve got there. Really brings out the colour of your eyes.” I teased before I could stop myself. I swear one of these days me and my big mouth is going to land me into a tonne of trouble. I didn’t have much time to reminisce about my ideas for a Sarcastic Sufferers Anonymous group, because I was suddenly tackled to the ground by a big blob with pink hair.

“HOW IN THE GOAT’S BEARD DID MR BLOBBY GET IN THE HOUSE?!” I screamed at no one in particular. I was just about to start screaming again, but Mr. Blobby lifted his head and showed a grinning Madox.

“Oh. It’s not Mr. Blobby, just my little girl of a brother.” I said up to his face, which was blocking everything else out my sight. Gosh, he has one big head.

“You know, pink really isn’t a good colour for you. It makes your head look way bigger.” I stated matter-of-factually. His grin turned into a twisted smile and his eyes held a glint to them that did not look good.

“Yeah? Well you don’t look too good in blue either, makes you look fat. Oh, sorry, I mean fatter.” Madox sneered at me as he got off. I was just about to jump up and rugby tackle him to the ground, when what he said sank in.

“What do you mean? I’m not wearing blue.” I glanced down at myself, yep, definitely no blue on me.

“Why do you think I’m wearing blue?” I asked him in a confused voice, until it hit me.

“NO! MADOX!” I shouted at his face, completely disgusted at him.

“How could you? I mean come on! Why did you take them, huh? Was it peer pressure? YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE!” I started ranting at his surprised and confused face. I saw Onyx come out of the kitchen and give me his ‘I-think-you’ve-gone-crazy’ look as well.

“What the hell are you going on about? Take what?” Madox asked; his aquamarine eyes filled with confusion.

“DRUGS! You stupid boy! I mean, why else would you think I’m blue? You’ve taken LSD! You’re hallucinating!” I yelled at him. He just looked at me like I’d grown a second head, and then started chuckling. Yeah, so maybe I did look at bit weird shouting at him whilst lying on the floor looking like a man-sized sea cucumber. But, still that's no reason to laugh. This is serious!

“What do you mean? I haven’t taken any drugs.” He managed to say in between his fits of laughing.

But, before I could say that denying it is only making my suspicions rise, Aspen spoke.

"It's a joke."

I was in the middle of informing him that it was one lame joke, when he grabbed a can of paint from behind him.

Oh. Jellybeans. Was all I could think before I was covered in the stuff.

I looked down at myself and found my once white jeans and top that said 'Rawr...I'm a worm!' on it, was now covered in bright blue paint. It was all over my body, including my head as I felt it run down my face.

I looked at my brother, shock and disbelief on my face.

I then jumped up and tackled Madox, who was the closest to me.
