The Way of Two Cinderella's

Chapter 3: Leila

"So.  Much.  Homework."  Sabrina said out of breath.  I laughed.  "Luckily its a weekend."  She nodded in agreement.  "Can I spend the weekend at your place?"  I asked her.  "Yeah."  I love my mom and sister and I also love where we live.  Sure the apartment building, and room is a little gross and run down but it's what I call home.  But sometimes I just need a break. 

Sabrina's little brothers were running around the front yard when we pulled into the garage.  Sabrina was one of eleven kids.  No half.  No step.  And no adoptions.  Yikes.  But they all loved each other and rarely ever fought with one another, and when they did it was an argument that lasted five minutes at the most and it was always something stupid like who got the last Oreo cookie.

  "Hi Bina!"  Tyle, Sabrina's four year old brother, shouted as we got out of the car.  He means to say Brina, instead of Bina.  But since he can't pronounce his R's yet he say Bina.  "Hey, Tyle."  She sighed as he ran up and gave her a huge hug.  It's so cute how much Tyle loves her.  Tyle is the only one of Sabrina's siblings that annoy her. "Can you and Leila come play with Boo and me?"  He asked.  Boo was Connor's favorite word so that's why everyone calls him Boo.  Connor is also one of Sabrina's little brother.  He's the oldest one of her younger brothers.  He's six and Sabrina has three little brothers.  "Tyle, remember what happened to me last time we played with you and Boo?"  I asked him.  "No.  I don't remember."  He said.  His little blue eyes sparkled.  "Well, we were all playing tag and Boo was it."  Tyle nodded taking in every single word I said.  "Remember he wasn't fast enough to touch me so he tackled me and broke my arm?"  "Ohhh.  Now I remember."  Tyle said.  "Now do you know why me and Bina don't want to play right now?"  "Yes."  I patted his cheek as I stood up again.  "Adda boy."  I treated Sabrina's siblings like my own.  I mean I practically live here they kind of are my siblings, but I fight with them more than they fight with each other and they're actually related. 

"I want to kick some homework in the butt so w have the whole weekend for FUN!"  I said as I passed Brina's older sister Millie.  Millie was quiet so I didn't really know her well like I knew the others.   "You got problems my friend.  Weekend homework is a Sunday night thing."  "But, if we get it all done today, we can relax on Sunday night."  Sabrina grabbed my bag and put it on a high shelf where I couldn't reach it.  We're not doing homework til Sunday."  I shot her a glare and we both started laughing.  I pulled my phone out of my bag and started texting my mom to let her know I am staying here this weekend.

"Bina!  Boo won't play with me anymore!"  Tyle balled as he burst into Brina's room.  "You sure you want to stay here this weekend?"  Sabrina whispered to me as she got up to go get Boo.  "No need to cry little dude.  Boo is just being dumb."  I said to him.  "My mommy says dumb is a bad word"  Tyle sniffled. 

"Well I bet you didn't realize bad sometimes means...good!"  Tyle looked at me weirdly before he caught on to the sarcasm.  I mean he has nine older siblings he lives in a house full of sarcasm.  Even his three year old brother can understand sarcasm.  "Of course I do.  But I mean in the real way."  My jaw dropped.  I knew for a fact he understood sarcasm but I had know idea he was smart enough to use it.  "You know, some people think I'm really funny"  He rolled his eyes at me.  "Only some do, but most don't"

"How old are you again?"  I asked as Sabrina and Boo walked in.  "Say sorry for ditching him you little worm"  Sabrina shoved Boo over to Tyle.  "Sorry Butt-head"  He said and then spun around and darted out of the room.

"I'll get you for that one!"  Tyle shouted  "You are so lucky you only have one sibling."  Sabrina said out of breath.  I guess it does get a little lonely at home.  I mean, I'm close with Anna but in the family way not the friend way.  And mom does work all day...but that's why I'm here all the time.

I'm sorry for the long chapter, but Sabrina will become a HUGE part in the book later on so I decided to go into her family life.  You'll hear more of her family later in the book though.  so, the picture over on the right is Sabrina.  She looks like she would be popular but really...she's a nerd like Leila.  You all will know her more as Phoebe Tonkin.  Anyways I gotta go.  Lata losas!
