The Switch Up

Chapter 3

"Dinner!" Dad's fiancè yells.

I roll out of bed like I normally do, dinner haven't have came at a better time time Im starving.

I went to the dinning roon, wow ive never smelt Dinner this good before, back home mom wasn't thaf good of a chief. There was potato casserole with Parmesan chicken & Caesar salad on the table. I choose a seat, but it turns out it was the teenage girl's seat. So I choose another seat hoping it wasn't taken. Thankfully it wasn't we all sat down said grace & began to eat.

After moments of small talk & silence I turned over to my left where he was sitting & said "Sorry I still haven't gotta your name?"

"They call me Donavan" He replys in a hot British accent.

"Oh nice to meet you" I said trying to sound elegant & proper like him.

"And you'res?" I said while looking across the table.

"I'm Hollie" She says also with an accent.

"Beautiful name, how old are you?" I say back trying to fit in since I'm the only one here that doesn't have an British accent.

"I actually just turned 14" She says.

"Oh, happy belated birthday" I reply back.

"Thank you" She gleamed.

"Donavan, how old are you?" I requested.

"I am 18 leaving for university next year." He spoke.

I learned a lot about them over dinner, after we ask each other questions we did some small talk. Then everyone was finishing up for dinner,

"Donavan it's you're turn to do dishes" His mother ordered.

"Ugh do I have to?" He wept.

"I'll help" I offered.

A couple minutes later it was just me and Donovan doing the dishes, he washing and I was drying. We had a great conversation he was telling me about how he wants to become an entrepenuer. He said his mom wants him to go in the medical field but he wants to go to the business route. Sooner than later we were done, he went to his bedroom and I went to mine. I grabbed my luggage looking for my pajamas but when I unzipped my luggage, All I saw was guy stuff like guy clothes and Cologne and not my makeup and clothes.

"Dad!" I yelled at the top of my lungs with frustration.

"Yes, darling?" He askes concern running downstairs.

"This isn't my luggage! My clothes,there not here!" I shouted.

"Ok calm down, I'll just call the luggage department at the airport" Then dad left the room.

I can't believe this is happening to me I have to stay here for a whole year, I cant do that without my clothes.

"Is everything all right?" Dad's fiancè asked.

"No its not! Everything is just terrible, first I have to stay here for a whole year with people that I dont even know & now my luggage is missing. If you wouldn't have slept with my dad when he was married I wouldn't be here, in this stupid house. Ugh I hate you!" I yelled & ran out the house.

Not sure where I'm going but anywhere but here. After a couple minutes of walking I heard someone say my name but I didn't stop Instead I started to run.

"Megan!"I heard it again, it was Donavan.

I was tired of running so I started to walk, eventually he caught up.

"Megan, come back home!" He said while grabbing my arm.

"Why should I its not my home, I dont feel comfortable there, I just want to go back to California." I said pulling my arm away from him, I continue to walk.

"At a time I was uncomfortable living with you're dad but sometimes it's for the better, you just have to learn to get used to it." He says.

"But it's not just that, I have no clothes to wear & all my belongings are gone." I added.

"Tonight you can wear my clothes and ill give you money to go shopping tomorrow." He says.

"I'll wear you're clothes tonight, but I have money to buy my own to go shopping, but thank you." I say while walking back home with Donavan.

"Maybe Hollie can come with you" he says.

"For sure! It'll help us to bond more" I said some what excited for tomorrow.

"Megan is that you? " Dad asks walking down to the front door giving me a big hug.

"And Donavan" he says feeling some what left out.

It mad me laugh.

"I called the baggage reclaim area and they couldn't find you're luggage but there trying." Dad says.

"I hope they find it fast." I replied with anxiety not knowing who has it.

I walk to my room, waiting for Donavan with his clothes.

"Here." He says throwing his clothes at me, then walks away.

"Donavan, I just wanted to say thank you for everything, I really appreciate it, Goodnight." I said running out of the room then back closing the door behind me not giving him a chance to say goodnight back.

Right then & there I just wanted to kiss him, his voice,his looks,his eyes he has it all but it's not right he's my soon to be stepbrother.
