Oblivious!

Time To Get Weird!

Two weeks later!!

I run up the last set of stairs and into Ryan's room. 

"RYAN!!!" I start jumping up and down on his bed. He mumbles some words that nobody could ever understand. He pulls the other side of the sheets up, and I quickly climb under them. We have gotten really close the past two weeks. If you find one of us, then you can usually find the other. Whichever one of us wakes up first, no matter the time, we go and try to wake the other one up. It almost always fails. We just end up falling asleep together before Amanda(She kept bugging me about calling her Amanda instead of Mrs. Adams,) comes in to wake us up for breakfast. 

Ryan's breathing gets heavier and heavier, lulling me back to sleep. 

Whispers sound out the room.

"Mum, they did it again!" Two voices say this. Must be the twins. 

"They did, didn't they." I can picture the smile that is on her face. "I'm really happy that they're friends."

"Mum don't kid yourself, they're best friends. Barely inseparable," The twins say. I roll over so that my head falls onto Ryan's chest. 

"I can't wait till they get together!" I gagged internally as Amanda says this. I guess it wouldn't be that bad. He is kinda cute. Did I just think that? Ew!

"Hey mum." Dang it, if Ryan's awake then that means that I have to get up as well. 

"Ryan," I stretch out the last part of his name, "Go back to sleep!" I try to roll over, but he has a different idea. He starts tickling me. Everywhere. 

"Are you up?" He stops tickling me so that I can answer him. I don't. "I take that as a no." He resumes tickling me. I try to hold in my laughter but it finally escapes. Now I have to go to the bathroom!

"Ok, ok! I'm up!" He lets go of me and I take the opportunity to roll off of  him and onto the floor. "Ouch!" I finally open my eyes as I stand up. I look to see that Ryan is trying to muffle his laughter into the pillow. Tears streaming down his face from laughing so hard. I grab a pillow and start hitting it at him. This just makes him start laughing even more. "Fine, be that way. Thanks to you, I really need to go to the bathroom!" He starts shaking with laughter once again. I hurry down the stairs and into the bathroom. 

After going to the bathroom, I sprint down the rest of the stairs. 

"Ry Ry!" Only giving him that as a warning I run up behind him and jump on his back. All of the boys snigger at the nickname. "I'm the only one to call him that and if you do I will make a nickname up twice as embarrassing. Even though I already have..." I look them in the eye and they seem to get the message. With only two other girls in the house, they don't know what to think of another one. Other than the fact that they shouldn't get on my bad side. 

I played a prank by putting food coloring in the shampoo bottle and it turned all the boys hair pink. Oops. The smell of food makes its way into the living room. "Charge!" I yell. Ryan starts laughing at this. Making it hard for him to walk straight. We ended up walking into a wall. Causing me to laugh harder. Tears of mirth rolling down our faces. 

"What did you guys do now?" Jake(Mr. Adams) asks. 

"Nothing!" Ryan and I say this at the same time. We share a look and start laughing all over again. 

"Somehow I don't believe you!" Jake mumbles. 

"Somehow I don't think you should," We both say it at the same time. Looking at each other we say, "Jinx. Double Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. Jin-"

"Food!" Amanda interrupts us.

"Thank God for that!"

"Chris!" Amanda scolded. 

"What? They were being annoying and the only way to shut them up is with food!" Chris shrugs his shoulders looking around the table. Everyone nodded in agreement. I roll my eyes, but stop when I see what's for breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, sausage and ham. My favourite.

"Amanda, what's the occasion?" I ask, already knowing the answer. She sets a gift in front of me. 

"Your birthday!" As the last word came out of her mouth, there was a clatter of metal. I look around and laugh. Everybody's jaws are dropped. Most of the guys have food in their mouths.

"You guys are going to catch flies!" That seemed to snap them out of their shocked stage. And into the stage where everybody talks over everybody.

"Your birthday-"

"Why didn't you tell us-"

"I didn't get you anything-"

"Shut-it!" I yell. They all close their mouths and turn to look at me. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make it a big deal. I don't care that you didn't get me gifts! I forgot that today was my birthday until ten minutes ago!" With that I pick up my fork and start eating. 

Setting my fork and knife down, I look at the neatly wrapped gift. Slowly, I grab it and take off the blue wrapping paper.  I look inside and take out the gold locket. The locket is shaped like a heart and has a green stone in the middle. I open up the clasp and look inside. There's only one picture. The picture is of a woman who has long red hair and bright green eyes, a man who has brown messy hair with bright blue eyes. In between them is a baby with the eyes of the man. The man and woman were both staring at the baby between them. 

"Who is this?" I ask without looking up. Mesmerized by the family photo. 

"That is the only picture take of you, and your mum and dad," Amanda speaks just above a whisper. I smile down at the photo. "Do you like it?" I push away from the table and quickly head over to Amanda. I give her a hug. Putting more than one thing into it. 

"Thank you!" I whisper into her ear. 

"You're welcome." I slip the locket around my neck and clasp it. Ryan gets up and walks over to us. 

"Happy birthday Sky!" He hugs me as he says it. I just hug him back.
