Jessica 7:55 am

I wake up to the sound of the twins jumping on my bed and singing 'I'm a little tea pot'.

"get off" I mumble but they keep jumping up and down. I groan loudly and get out of bed.

When I walk into the kitchen mum is cooking eggs and dad is trying to break up a fight between Kovu, who is 7 and Danny, who is 9. They are pulling each others hair and yelling curse words at each other.

My baby sister Meg is sitting in her high chair eating baby food. I walk over to her and pinch her chubby cheeks and she giggles.

The twins Billy and Kye, who are 5 in a week, run through the kitchen yelling at the top of their lungs "Daniel is still sleeping!!"

"Lower your voices for f.ucks sake! " I yell at them. They pout and run into the living room.

"watch your language Jessica" mum says and I nod.

"go wake up Daniel" she says and I groan.

"fine" I mumble and walk up stairs to my twin brothers room.

I knock twice and then open the door. I regret it straight away because he's not alone in his room.

There is a girl climbing onto the window sill. "Um, hello? " I say more as a question than a greeting.

They both turn their heads towards me and the girl blushes and jumps out the window.

I look at my brother and he smirks.

"that's Katie, she slept over" he says and I mentally vomit.

I shake my head and he points at the door, telling me to get out.

I walk out of his room, which smells like something died in it, and get ready for school.
