I went downstairs and poured myself a bowl of Cookie Crisp cereal for breakfast. Clarissa and Melody were sitting at the dining table, eating protein bars and drinking weird green smoothies. Probably some type of gross veggie smoothie.

I also made sure we had plenty of junk food, since I decided I would have Amy and Alexis over tonight. We haven't had a sleepover in a while.

Dylan came by and snatched my bowl. "Thank you!" he exclaimed.

I shot him a dirty look and tripped him. He fell to the ground and flung the bowl of cereal on himself and all over the floor.

"Jeez Kyler what was that for?" Dylan snapped, glaring at me. "Now I have to change my shirt and pants!"

"Stop taking my freakin' food and then stuff like that won't happen," I said back to him. He always took my food from me and it got really old and I wasn't in the mood for it.

"Ugh can you two just grow up already?" Clarissa spoke up and rolled her eyes.

"He took my food away from me and he always does that," I explained. "So I taught him a little lesson."

"Whatever." She went on her phone and started texting, probably her boyfriend.

"I guess things didn't change much around here," Melody said and giggled.

"Unfortunately not really."

I poured myself another bowl of cereal and ate it.

The doorbell rang and Clarissa rushed over to the door. "Jason!" I heard Clarissa exclaim to him. She went back to the kitchen, got her purse, and then her and Melody went to ride to school with him.

Jared dashed down the stairs, grabbed a piece of bread, and ran to catch his bus.

Me and Dylan went outside and got in the car. "I have to pick up Seth and Luke so you'll have to sit in the back," Dylan said.

I rolled my eyes and sat in the back seat. I didn't really mind since Seth was riding with us.

Dylan picked up Luke first and he sat in the front seat. I smiled to myself knowing that Seth would have to sit in the back with me.

A few minutes later, he pulled up at Seth's house. Seth came out of the house and sat in the back seat. "Hey," he said to everyone, smiling at me.

"Yo," Dylan and Luke said.

"Hey Seth," I said to him and smiled. Me and him talked until we pulled up into the school yard.

"I'll see you in music class," Seth said to me.

"Yeah I guess so," I said back to him. We waved and then walked to our classes.

After I got home from school, I went up to my room and cleaned it up a little before Alexis and Amy came.

I decided I would go in the attic and take out a few games. I went downstairs and brought cookies, brownies, chips, and some candy into my room.

"Heard you're having your little friends over," Dylan said to me as I passed by in the hallway, and smirked.

"Okay?" I said and looked confused.

"I'm going to have the guys over."

"Cool..." I gave him a thumbs up sign and went back to my room.
