"Catharine, oh my gosh did you see Emily's outfit. Ugh! So ugly"
I stare off into space ignoring that comment that Tiffany just made.
"SHUT UP TIFF!" yelled Emily ", You're just mad that I look better".
"Am not".
"Am too".
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" I yell.
They stare at me with confused eyes as I go back to my thinking. Dad was in his office talking to the most dangerous drug dealer in history. Miguel Calsto. He's usually here a lot so I started calling him Uncle Miguel since he's like an uncle to me, but today I saw him hold a gun up to my dad. I'm pretty sure my dad's not holding up to his deal which is to sell him the drugs. Dad has been really busy lately and hasn't been on top of his game. He told me one day I'm going to take over the family business but there might not be a business if my dad keeps slacking off-
"Cat..EARTH TO CAT, are you in there?" asked Emily breaking me from my inner thoughts.
"Huh? What? WHAT!?" I stamper.
"You, like, totally left us. Are u ok, you've been doing this a lot lately?" questions Tiffany.
"What I'm fine...I just have a lot on my mind" I say trying to get them to stop questioning.
Since all of the stuff my dad does is not technically legal all they think is my both my parents are doctors.
"Okayyy...ANYWAYS we have to figure out what we're going to do for the party," Emily says.
"Ummm, can we not talk about that right now," I shrug.
They stare me with deceiving eyes as they flip there hair away from my face. I walk down the halls to see my boyfriend talking to my brother. I leave the group and head over to the only two guys that knows about my family secret.
"What are you trying to get him to do know Jack?" I moan to my brother.
"I'm just trying to figure out personal things,".
"He's trying to figure out if we've had sex" says Matt
"JACK!" I yell as I punch him in his face.
"Ow!" he groans holding his nose. "You two are no fun".
He walks away from us leaving us alone by Matt's locker.
"Can you explain to me why you two are friend's again?" I question.
I don't understand. How does the captain of the football team be friends with...my brother.
"He's the one person that will not complement me if I did good on a game," answer Matt.
"Still...It's my brother!" I scream.
"Oh just shut up and kiss me," he says raping his hands around my waist.
I smile and give him a firm kiss on the cheek.
"Not today cowboy," I whisper in his ear.
He laughs and starts walking down the hallway with me. We walk at a steady never making eye contact, never breaking the silence in till my brother comes chiming in like his usually unlikeable but instead of his face full of accomplishment for breaking us up he has a face of worry.
"What's wrong?" I ask sensing the worry on his face.
"How do you know there's something wrong?" he ask sarcastically.
"What's. Wrong." I say with a serious look on my face.
"It's Dad," he answers.
I shrug not understanding what he's talking about.
"It's. Dad." he says again but this time looking me straight in the eye.
At that moment we all took off running.
