He was coming home

21

"Seth, wake up!" I hiss at him, shaking him

"Whaa?" He asks sleepily

"It's time" I whisper and he jolts awake

"Let's do this" he says, a grin spreading across his face, this better work or it is all his fault

We quietly gather everything into his small red wheelbarrow he got when he was abut five and sneak out of the house into the Websters, I take the upstairs while he takes downstairs and outside

Finally when we down, we head back, so happy that we have probably pulled off the biggest prank ever. This will most likely be the end of the prank war

(--) (--) (--) (--)
I sit down at the bench grabbing the cereal of Seth seconds before a shrill scream comes from across the road, it is shortly followed by various other ones

"What did you do?" Dad asks me turning the page of his newspaper

"Hello to you too" I reply before adding "nothing, why would you ask that?"

"I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with your history with the Websters" he says looking up at me for a second and I give him my sweetest smile only reserved for those who question my innocence so basically everyone

"Let's go ad see" Seth says jumping out of his after stuffing lots of food into his mouth, gross

"Not now" I tell him

"Please!" He says stamping his foot, back into annoying brother mode

"Fine if you never talk again" I snap getting up and following him, at least things are starting to go back to normal

When we join the rest of the street outside we are amazed at what we see...apparently we weren't the only ones playing a prank last night

I look at my surroundings, to see if anything is different from usual

Nope. Chelsea still doesn't know what clothes are for. Alex is still my jerk of an ex-boyfriend.

"What's going on?" I ask old Mrs Henderson

"Someone pranked the Websters" she whispered back with a glint in her eyes

"Nice" I say

"They are now saying that they are going to move to England" she adds chuckling evilly, I wouldn't be surprised if she did it

I feel someone put their hands over my eyes

"Guess who" the person says

"Hmm, Gem?" I ask, laughing because I know who it is

"Nope"

"Alec" I guess

"Ew no" was the reply

"What about Kelly?" I ask

"As if"

"Nathan" I decide

"Yep" he says taking his hands off

"Ready for school?" He asks me

"Does it look like I am?" I ask him and he shakes his head innocently

"Come on then" he says dragging me back into my house

"Bye Mrs Henderson!" I call over my shoulder and she waves

"Young love" I faintly hear her mutter

"Hurry up!" Nathan calls from outside my bedroom door

"There's some thing called patience!" I yell back

"I have been waiting patiently for the past ten minutes!" He yells

"It hasn't even been a minute!" I shout back

"Has too!"

"Has not!"

"Has too"

"Has not!" I tell louder than him and he doesn't say anything else

"Let's go" I say opening my door

"Finally" he grumbles, I just help him down the stairs faster

"School, the both of you" dad orders pushing us out of the house without saying goodbye or anything like that, he must be on a case or something.

"Hurry up" I complain to Nathan a she tries to find his keys

"Shut up" he replies

Surprisingly we actually make it too school on time, not that it would matter anyway, since the new principal is my aunt

"We have a new maths teacher" Gem Says in her way of a greeting

"Why?" I ask

"Apparently the old one retired, saying that this place was the dumps now without Mr Davy or something" she replies shrugging

"Do you know if she's nice?" I ask her and she rolls her eyes

"No I only found out today, gosh" she mutters before going to her locker

"Someone is in a grumpy mood today" Nathan comments and I give a playful shove to get him to be quiet

"What do we have first?" I ask him

"Maths, yay" he says lacking energy

My heart stops as soon as I walk through that door seeing her standing there like she has always been here

Could my life get any worse?
