I woke up the next morning to soft cheers coming from down below my room. Blinking I sat up slowly and pull open my curtains. The morning sun streams through the window temporarily blinding me. I look over at the clock and see its 8:40. I over slept! Dani must be starving. I stand up and bolt down the stairs. When I made it down I saw Dani sitting quietly in the kitchen eating pancakes.
"Dani? Where did you get those?" I asked before hearing a scream come from the living room. I jumped in surprise and ran into the room grabbing the closest thing to me. It just so happened to be a bat.
"Aiden? Brent? What are you guys doing here?" I asked
"We missed our baby sisters! So we decided to stay the night!" Aiden said I nodded. They do this from time to time just popping in on Dani and I.
"What are you doing with that bat?" Brent asked
"Sorry I thought you guys were burglars." I said hiding the bat behind my back and smiling sheepishly at them.
"Yeah burglars playing Pac-man in your living room." Aiden said sarcastically
"Whom made your sister and you breakfast." Brent said with just as much sarcasm. I rolled my eyes and walked back into the kitchen for food. I sat down next to Dani to eat.
"So Cassie can I play with Zach today?" Dani asked
"We'll go over after breakfast and invite him over. How does that sound?" I said and she smiled widely at me. Darlene always was up early so I knew she wouldn't mind us popping over.
"Thank you!" Dani snatched my shirt and pulled me in for a hug.
"You're welcome Dani." I hugged back "Now want to help with the dishes?" I asked and she nodded eagerly. I laughed and ruffled her hair before picking up our plates. I showed her how to rinse them and put them in the dishwasher. She carefully put the dishes in before closing the door.
"I did it!" She said happily.
"High five it!" I said and Dani slapped my hand "Alright let's go see Zach!" I said picking Dani up as she smiled happily.
"Yay!" Dani said
"Yay!" I mocked her enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong Zach seems like a great kid, but I'm going to have to see Kyle.
"Going to Darlene's" I said walking through the living room.
"Bye." Brent and Aiden said together. I walked out the front door and down the walkway.
"Hey Cassie?" Dani asked
"Yep?" I said
"I love you." She smiled at me
"I love you too squirt." I said kissing her forehead. She is so cute. I walked up to the door and put Dani down. I rang the doorbell three times. The door swung open and revealed a shirtless Kyle.
"What's up." Kyle said in a raspy voice. It was kind of hot. What? Did I really just think that? Really? EW. Gross. I don't think that. Nope. 1...2...3... Poof, I forgot I said that. Or thought it rather. Wait no I didn't. I still remember I thought that. Stupid subconscious coming out when it's not needed. I mean who does she think she is thinking like that.
You.
SHUT UP GOSH YOU ARE SO ANNOYING I WISH YOU WOULD JUST-
"CASSIE!" Kyle's voice brought me out of my thoughts
"What?!" I yelled back startled
"You're the one who came over here and then zoomed out. I should be asking you that." He pointed out
