3 | About Him

"Bye Dad!" I called as I shut the door to Dad's car, before zeroing in on the two siblings that were heading in my direction from Kaylee's grey Kia.

"See you later, Muffin".

"What's up, Secather?" Kaylee asked just before Dad sped off. Dad looked at me quizzically, and I shrugged, deciding to tell him on dinner that Secather, I just figured, meant Second Father.

"Hey, cupcake, son" Dad addressed them, "well, see you later kids, take care of my daughters" he nodded at Ryan, Ryan giving him a curt nod of his own, making me and Kaylee roll our eyes.

Like we were some little girls on their first day at school and they were making sure of our safety, as from man to man.

"You heard that? He knows what damage you bring to this school so he warned me to take care of you" Ryan stammered, puffing his chest up as we headed to the school's gate.

"Exactly" Kaylee scoffed, "he told you to take care of us as to protect us from the cruelty of this horrible, mental diseasing 7 hours of hell, not the whole way around, dumbass. And the last time I checked, we've been here for three years and a half, so the high likings are, you're the one who needs taking care off, not us"

"Way to bring me down, sis. You just had to remind me of the year I'm gonna have to spend without you" he said, clutching at his chest dramatically.

"Just me" he drawled.

"All alone".

"Feeling lonely like a-"

"Shut up!" Kaylee snapped, whacking him on the arm.

"Okay okay! No need to be violent" he said, rubbing at his reddening arm, "you sure you don't have anger issues- woah woah, hang on, okay, I'm sorry" he said, holding his hands up in surrender as he jumped a couple of steps away from Kaylee as she attempted to whack him again and hiding behind me.

"Aww, what's that?" I cooed, "is big Ryan hiding behind me from just a girl?" I smirked.

"You call that thing a girl? I swear her hand is like a goril- WOAHH SIS, OKAY OKAY SORRY, I'M SO SORRY, I LOVE YOU, PLEASE DON'T HURT- OUCH! THAT HURTS!"

Ryan rubbed his head that had been hit with a water bottle and a notebook. You think he would know better than to run away and not just shut up, but no, he kept blabbering and took a very dangerous step, which is running away.

You see, in Kaylee's mindset, if anyone just proceeded to get away from her wrath, they would get it worse than the original, they'll get the double.

"Scumbag" she muttered under her breath as she retrieved her notebook and water bottle from the ground and stuffed it in her bag. Ryan had already shuffled away after he got hit and we made our way to our lockers to grab our books.

"Hey, Cam? Can you sleep over tonight?" Kaylee suddenly asked as she waited for me to grab my books.

"I'm...not so sure I can," I said hesitantly, my eyebrows creasing in uncertainty.

"Why not?" She whined, clutching at my arm as I closed my locker.

"It's a school night and you know I don't like leaving Dad alone" I frowned. Knowing Kaylee, we'll probably end up sleeping at one in the morning and I really hated not having a good night sleep and going to school next day looking like a zombie, and Dad . . .
