"Eric!!! get off of me before I lose all circulation in my legs" I screamed at my stupid brother who was currently sitting on (and smothering) my legs
"Well what did I say would happen if you didn't get your stupid legs off my seat" he said happily. Can't you just feel the love in my family.
I gave him my unbelievably good puppy dog face that always broke him down.
He let out a sigh. "You have five seconds" and he stood up. I knew he wasn't messing so I swung my legs around which only left me falling on the floor like an idiot. Eric sat back down on the couch in a fit of laughter. And then my older brother Adam walks in it only takes him a moment to realise what has happened. To spear myself from further humiliation I immediately rose and walked away. So what if I wasn't he most co-ordinated person out there. Huh. When people say that Twins are always best friends they obviously hadn't met me and Eric.
Ok maby I'm overreacting I mean when it really mattered Eric could be the best brother ever. I mean he even tried to beat a guy up for me.
"I'm going to go finish some unpacking" I announced
"Whatever" said Adam
"If you find my DS give it to me" said my oh so considerate younger brother Luke
And as always there was eric with his oh so honest reply "don't care"So how lucky was I to have three brothers. Can you hear the sarcasm?
We moved in two days ago so most of my family had already finished unpacking but me being the procrastinator that I am hadn't even bothered to start. All I really needed was my phone and a good book. Although the for some reason my parents felt like wi-if wasn't a nessisity so they ain't having it installed until tomorrow. Although being the computer genius that I am I had already managed to jailbreak the neighbours wifi. But I mean come on who actually sets their password as "Password" I mean come on you would think that people would have a little imagination nowadays but I guess not.
I looked out my window to see the window of the neighbours house directly across from it. But seriously, I mean what kind of messed up person would put two windows directly across from each other, I mean like have you ever heard of a little privacy. But the curtains seemed to be closed most of the time and then when they weren't closed the room was always empty which was perfectly ok with me because the last thing I wanted was anybody peeping in at me in the night. That thought alone gave me a shiver. And how you may ask did I get stuck with this joy of a room was because my stupid brothers seemed to think the same way I did at times and they thought it extremely weird too. Although when the realised that the room next door was a boys room they all offered immediately to swap with me but I refused. I told them that what happened was in the past and there was no way that anything would happen again. They didn't seem happy but they agreed, I mean it was my own fault that we had to move to a completely different state, they had to leave behind all their friends and Adams girlfriend all because I made one stupid mistake that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. The least I could do was take the room with the complete invasion of privacy after all I had cost them.
I began to sort through different boxes and unload my stuff onto shelf and into wardrobes and what not. For a normal person this would probably have taken around an hour but given that I am an extremely lazy and procrastinating person I was just barely done by dinner time.
"Riley come down for dinner" called my mum
"Coming" I called back and I skipped down the stairs to the new kitchen. To my delight I saw three large takeaway Pizzas on the table. I don't mean any offence by it but my mum really isn't the Best cook when it comes to dinners, but when it comes to cake she could be on masterchef. I grabbed two huge slices and began to dig in. And then the doorbell rang. Everyone turned to me.
"Do I have toooooooo" I whined
And being the lovely considerate family that they are they all just turned back to their dinners. It let out a big overdramatise sigh as I stood up.
"Fine but just remember I could be kidnapped or raped" I said. Me and my big mouth I realised how I should not have said that. All of their faces were dripping with concern and worry.
"Guys relax I was just kidding, he's gone now, that's not gonna happen" I assured them trying to keep my voice as steady as Possible.
"I just wish that you would have told us sooner" said my mom in a small voice. Everyone wAs silent. Mental note to self: never bring that up again.
"Well I guess that means I get the last slice of pizza" said Adam. I could have hugged him as all of the family started to fight over it. And just like that things went back to normal
I remembered that someone was at the door. O crap. I swung the door open and nobody was there. So I turned around and walked away. Almost all of a sudden I heard a small voice screaming while hammering on the door. "Let me in" I opened the door again and noticed a little girl around five standing at the door with a big plate of cookies. When she saw me she walked right past me and straight into the kitchen. "Ooooooh pizza" she exclaimed. I mean come on was she not the cutest little thing ever. Her and Luke started and after they both got over the fact that each other had cooties. They decided to be friends and flounced away up to Luke's room. I loved little kids in that way, they can just walk up to each other and say "hey do you wanna be friends" sometimes I missed that. There was no bitchiness no fighting no nervousness. You can just ask someone straight out.
"Riley" said my mum
"Oh um yea" I said as I plopped down next to Adam.
"The two of you will be starting school on Monday. Darlington high will just be finished their Christmas break so it will look more natural for you to start back"
"Ok" I replied I knew it was already look pretty wired with me starting school I'm the middle of the year and I had already accepted the fact that I was going to be the weird new kid that had no friends and was probably going to end up u eating my lunch alone or in a bathroom stall. At least that's what the nemourous amount of movies and book I have seen and read suggested. But I new anything was better than what was happening back home in California. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks "wait Monday is the day after tomorrow!"
"Um yea we will go back to school shopping tomorrow okay? No need to worry"
I sat back and sighed and began to eat the rest of my pizza. Uggggg I thought I would have a little more time that two days to meant ally prepare myself from back to school!
