I groaned and rolled over and flung my hand across the bed. "Ouch," a feminine voice cried out. Who was in my bed? "Seriously Ali, get the fuck off of me." This time I realized it was my best friends voice.

I laughed and sat up. Ugh. My head was spinning, seriously, how much did I drink last night. "I'm taking a shower," I told Claire as I climbed out of bed.

I grabbed my towel and took a nice long hot shower. I needed it to clear my head. I just loved the pounding in my head. It was the best feeling in the world. Not.

I turned the water and dried my feet off before stepping out of the shower. The bathroom was filled with steam. I wiped the mirror off before looking at myself. I looked like shit.

There was a knock on the bathroom door. "Just a sec," I called out before wrapping my towel tighter around me and opening the bathroom door. I ran into a hard chest. "Damn Alex, you cou-" I blushed realizing that a chest that hard wasn't Alex.

"'Scuse me," I said blushing and pushing past the one person I knew it would be- Reese.

"Saw you at the party last night, Alison. Too bad you didn't ask me for a dance last night." He called out after me as I went into my room and shut my door. I was horrified.

"Why are you blushing Ali-son," my best friend asked me. I quickly looked down and denied such accusations. "Honestly, I think you are seeing things because I am not blushing."

She rolled her eyes. "If you aren't blushing then I am a man with an extremely large member down there if you get what I mean."

I picked up a marker from my dresser and threw it at across the room towards Claire. "Ugh, you are so gross." I quickly got dressed and put on a pair of Jean shorts and a tank top. "Weeeeell," Claire prompted.

I sighed, I knew she wasn't going to give up until I told her. "Well, there was a knock at the bathroom door," I began. I took my brush and ran it carefully through my strawberry blond locks. "I ran into someone. I thought it was Alex, but it was Reese," I mumbled. Claire gushed. "You mean to tell me that Mr. HawtieWithABody is outside without a shirt!"

I sank down into my bed and rested my head on the pillow. "Get over your silly stupid crush Claire." It really got annoying  hearing everyone gushing over the cutest guy in school.

"No Ali, it is more like you need to get onto this stupid silly crush!" I laughed. It was seriously hopeless with this girl. "I think you are the only girl in our school that doesn't like Reese."

"What is there to li-" I was cut off by the ringing of my phone. I checked my phone and saw that is was a text from my mom. I got up from my bed. "Come on Clairyy, dinner is ready. I'll meet you downstairs."

She got up off the floor and opened the door and went downstairs. I walked down the hall and pounded on my brothers door as hard as i could to get over the music.

"Alexander open the damn door." The music seemed to not budge. I turned the doorknob and surprisingly the door was unlocked. The boys were playing xbox. I walked over to the stereo and turned it off. "Alexander Jon Fernheart, get your ass downstairs. Dinner is ready!"

Both of the boys whipped around not hearing me open the door; what a shocker. "Damn, sister got a mouth on her doesn't she." Reese smiled at me.

"Go to hell," I smiled sweetly.

I walked out and the boys followed behind me. Reese was the only one smart enough to speak because my brother knew I was mad for some unknown reason. "Lex, your sister looks better with just a towel on."

I turned around halfway down the stairs. "Keep your fucking mouth shut before I shut it for you." My brother chuckled and Reese just smirked. We went into the dining room and sat down at the table.

I just did not understand what girls see in him.

Claire stared at me cautiously. "So Katherine, what's for dinner," Claire asked while my mom brought out dinner and placed it on the table. "Well for Ali, it's a baked potato and everyone else gets a steak and baked potato." I smiled gratefully at my mom as she placed my food in front of me.

My mom actually respected my wishes to be a vegetarian. We all chatted idly during dinner. Claire told us that she is going to her dads for a week. Reese told us the news of him moving in next door. My mom announced that she got a job promotion and now she was chief of staff at the hospital.

Once dinner was through I volunteered to clean the dishes while Reese and my brother cleaned the kitchen. Claire poked her head into the kitchen and told us she was leaving and that she had to go to her dads tomorrow. I gave her a hug and she whispered in my ear, "Don't spy on the neighbors too much while I'm gone."

I slapped her on the shoulder and got back to the dishes. Reese came up beside me and started drying the dishes- this was something out of the norm. I turned to face him. "Is there something wrong with you?".

He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and mumbled. "Alexmademeapologize." he spoke in a quick mumbled breath.

I smirked. "What, you are going to have to repeat that."

"I said, Alex is making me apologize." I looked at him smugly.

"How soo," I asked him.

"Well for starters he is making me dry the dishes and say I am sorry."

I couldn't help but to laugh. "But, if you tell anyone what I just said, then I will personally make your life a living hell."

I rolled my eyes, not a bit worried about his idle threats. "Sure you will, but then you would have to deal with me," my brother spoke as he entered the kitchen.

I smiled at my brother. I swear the only thing that was the same between my brother and I was the hair. We were twins and we were close but we didn't look any thing, I didn't know whether I was grateful or not. He had the dark hair and dark eyes, just like our father. While I looked more so like my mother with the red hair, and I got the green eyes from my grandmother.

"Thanks Alex, I had this under control. I didn't need your help, and besides I hadn't got my fun out of Reese boy." I washed the last dish before walking out of the kitchen. "See you around." I called before going back upstairs.

Several minutes later there was a soft knock on the door before my brother came. He padded over to my bed and sat down on the edge. "What was the matter early little sister?"

I frowned before getting up and changing quickly into my pajamas and getting back in bed. "Was it something Claire or Reese said?"

I yawned and shook my head. "Na, it was just Claire being her Claire and her stupid petty obsessions." My brother laughed.

"What's she obsessed over this time," he asked me. I raised my eyebrow and he laughed. "Reese?" I nodded in confirmation.

"She got so excited earlier when she found out that he was moving next door. Even though we already knew about it and he finishes moving in tomorrow."

"I am going to bed so get the fuck out." I smiled at my brother. He ruffled my hair before leaving. I fell into a fitful sleep.

So is this chapter better? Read, Comment, Vote, Fan? :)
