The Golden Four

Code Wild Parties.

It is 9:30 and I am trying to study, but my stupid, stupid brothers are having a party. I'm wearing my pajamas, which are a pair of shorts and a tank top, and my hair is in a messy bun, but I don't care. I walk downstairs and pull my oldest brother to the side.
"Brian, there is a huge test tomorrow and if I fail my grade will go down thirty percent. Now, do you really want to see me do that?" I yelled menacingly over the loud music that is starting to give me a headache. Brian knows what happened last time I got an A- on a quiz from one of his wild parties.
Brian gulped and nodded.
"Okay, okay. I'll turn the music down a little." He went over to the stereo and I went to the bathroom to get some headache medicine. I opened the door and saw my second eldest brother, Arthur, kissing his girlfriend, Elisa, like there was no tomorrow. I wanted to throw up. I slammed the door shut and ran up to my room. I packed my backpack and put on some leggings and grabbed my phone. I dialed Alia's number and said,
"Code wild parties. I'll be over there in ten." She didn't reply, but I knew that she had shaken her head, yes on the other end. I grabbed my coat and put my bag on both shoulders and slipped my phone inside one of the pockets. I also put clothes for school tomorrow and a brush, deodorant and socks.
I went downstairs and tried to get to the front door without hitting any of the dancing girls. I got to the front as Delilah came over to me.
"Where you going Peach?" Delilah asked me. She was like an older sister to me. She was Brian's girlfriend.
"My friend Alia's house. I have to study and I can't hear anything over the sound of this stupid rap music." I explained.
"I can give you a ride if you like Peach." Delilah offered.
"That'd be great, thanks Lilac." I smile up at her. She calls me peach cause when I was younger I looked a little like a peach, and everyone calls her Lila, so I had decided to call her Lilac.
We were walking out the front when Brian asked where we were going.
"I'm taking Julia to her friends. They are having a sleepover." Lilac told him and gave him a kiss. Lilac has long dirty blond hair that goes down to her bum and bright vibrant blue eyes. She has perfect tan skin and is tall. Tonight she wore black short shorts and a green crop top. She had on black heels and held her car keys in one hand.
I got in the front and she got behind the wheel.
"Thank you Lilac. I would've had to walk and you know." I told her. Lilac nodded.
We live in a nice house, but some of the neighbors are a little sketchy. I get nervous when I walk alone.
Lilac has driven me to Alia's so many times that she doesn't have to ask for directions anymore. When we get there she walks me up to the door and I'm greeted by Ms. May. She eyes Lilac's outfit disapprovingly and I give Lilac and hug and another thank you.
"No problem Peach. Do you want me to pick you up in the morning?" Correction. Lilac is like my mum.
"No, I'll catch the bus here. Thank you though." I tell her. I give her one more hug and walk into Alia's house. She comes running down the stairs and I give her a hug. She drags me upstairs and I hear Lilac drive away.
"Did Lila drop you off again?" Alia asks. I nod. Alia is familiar with Lilac also.
"I hope my brother marries her. Then, he can get a house and I can live with them and live happily ever after." I exhale. I've been dreaming that dream for three years now. Ever since Brian started dating Lilac.
"He doesn't have the guts." Alia said and poked my stomach. I giggled. I'm extremely ticklish when you find the right spot.
"Come on. I came here to study." I said firmly.
"One song? Pwetty pwease wif a cwerry on twop?" Alia asked with a puppy dog face. I laughed and agreed.
"Only one though. Then books." I said. She jumped up and grabbed her karaoke machine from her closet. She pressed a button and my favorite song came on. Who Are You by Fifth Harmony. It started playing and I shut it off. I ran into Alia's walk in closet and grabbed a guitar. I sat down and started playing. We sang five songs.
Finally I put the guitar down breathlessly and told her that it was time to study. It was 10:15 and I took out my books and spread everything out.
I helped her read it. My stupid dyslexia made it terribly difficult to read all the math computations and my ADHD did not help. It also didn't help that Alia had the exact same diagnose as I did. We were laying on our stomachs and she started hitting her feet on the ground in the tune to one of The Little Mermaid tunes. Auditions were a month from now and she was nervous. I joined in and soon we were jamming out again.
"Uggh!! I hate ADHD!!!" I exclaimed.
"Really? I kinda like it." Alia said.
I looked at her as if she had fifteen eyes. She shrugged and we went back to work.
It was 1:00 and I got a text from Lilac.
L~Make sure you get some sleep.
J~I promise. We are just finishing up now.
L~Ok. Sleep tight Peach.
J~You to Lilac.
I put my phone down and told Alia that I was going to bed. Alia rubbed her temples and said,
"Yeah me too. I can't take much more." I laughed quietly. Ms. May had gone to bed about an hour ago.
"You two are going to fall asleep during that test if you don't go to bed soon." She had warned. We had told her five more minutes and she sighed. Five minutes with us meant at least and hour in regular time.
I climbed onto the top bunk. Alia didn't like it. She always insisted she would fall off. I knew the real reason, though. I'm five inches shorter than her, so I don't bang my head on the ceiling and she does. I have no problem sleeping on top, though.
I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off. I kept thinking about math and tests and parties. And for some odd reason Greek Gods.
