You Don't Know Me

Chapter 5| Brothers

"So are you coming?" Josh asks as we skate into school. "I don't know" I say unsure. "C'mon it'll be fun" Jake whines.

Basically the guys are trying to convince me to go to the after party of the football game tonight. First of all  it's on a Wednesday, who parties on a Wednesday? I already agreed to go to the game, but not the after party. "I'm not going guys, deal with it" I say stopping as we arrive on the school perimeter and in the words of Mrs. Cosette 'no skateboarding on school grounds'. "Please" Will begs. "No."

I will not be dragged out to a party. I'm not a big fan of parties. Of course I'm not that person who never goes. I go to parties. The thing is of course like I said it's on a Wednesday and the fact that the host is Trey McReynolds who is the wide receiver on the team. He is a total cringe worthy cliché, air headed, athletic, party animal. His parties consist of deafening music, screaming people, and fights. I can guarantee that I will not have fun if I go. My ears are really sensitive to noise so the music and yelling will make me deaf. The last point is my big point though.

I mean I can fight. My brothers are quite typical. They don't show that they care but they're actually really over-protective. So they taught me how to fight. I only use it for self defense though. I find it just messed up to just fight for the heck of it.

"Why not!" Josh whines. "Because one, it's a Wednesday. And two, I will never go to a party that Trey McReynolds is hosting" I say when we arrive to our usual morning spot in the courtyard. "Why not?" Jake asks curiously. "They aren't my type of parties! I just don't want to know okay!?" I yell sick of the questions. They guys notice that I'm getting mad and they drop it. Thank God!

The warning bell rings and we head inside like usual.

~~~~~~

I arrive home with silence. Unusual. When I come home there's always noise. Whether it's actual people talking, video games, or the tv. But I arrive home to dead silence. In my house, that's unheard of. "I'm home!" I yell hoping for someone to tell me they're home. Nothing. No reply. Just silence.

"Anyone Home!" I yell louder. I am replied with silence. I guess nobody is home. I walk up to my bedroom. I put my bag down beside my door. I don't have any homework again. Not surprised though. I almost never get homework. Which I am grateful for.

I take of my white converse and plop onto my bed. After a minute of laying there I realize how annoying it is to be bored with silence ringing in your eyes. I urn on my back and sit up. Glancing around my room I look for something to do.

"AH!" I scream in shock.

My door bursts open to war cries as both my brothers run in holding their old Nerf guns which they haven't used in years. Brothers.

"What the hell!" I yell at them. Their faces scare me. Eyes narrowed smirks spread on their faces looking for a challenge. I look at them with a mischievous face. They know my faces as well as I know theirs. I might be their little sister, but they are afraid of some of my faces. I put a smirk on my face. I probably look the the Joker, which if you're trying to scare someone can work. I see a second of alarm in their eyes but they keep their faces stiff and challenging. One question roams in my mind. Why are they doing this? 

"You have a crush" Brian snickers. What? "Crush?" I chuckle. My laugh makes them utterly confused. They probably thought I would get nervous or deny it or attack them for knowing. The reason is simple. I don't have a crush. Their faces scrunch up in confusion as I am now almost on the floor from the weakness in my muscles as I laugh.

"Guys-I-don't-have-a crush" I wheeze out in between laughter. "You don't?" Brian asks consequently getting an elbow in his ribs. "Ow! What the fu-" He complains getting another elbow in the ribs. "You sure?" Thomas asks as Brian rubs his side in pain. "100%" I say as I sober up from laughter. This makes them even more confused. "Then what's this?" Thomas asks pulling his phone out to show me a picture of me and Brent laughing and smiling at the skate park. "Wait, how did you get a picture of that?" I ask. "I have people" he shrugs. "You have people spying on me?!" I ask. "What the hell!" I yell at him.

"Don't change the subject, you have a crush" Thomas continues. His serious face tells me he's in protective brother mode. I won't get answers now, but I'll get them later whether he tells me or not I will find out.

"I don't have a crush!" I begin "That's Brent, he thought that because I'm a girl I am incapable of things. So the guys brought him to the skate park without my knowing to prove him wrong" I tell him seriously so he'll believe me. Not like I'm lying, but I want him to believe me. "Then why are you guys laughing?" He asks as if he caught me. Which he didn't. He just stumped me, why was I laughing with that sexist moron? Truth is, I don't know.

"Well when someone is nice and they tell you something funny, you laugh right?" I ask hoping he''ll drop it. "I thought you said he was mean to you, for thinking you're incapable because you're a girl?" He says raising his eyebrows. "Because he made it up to me, by being nice" I tell him truthfully.

He finally drops it, when he realizes I don't have a crush. But when he puts his phone away he smirks pulling Brian out of my room.

A few minutes later I hear video games, but not after I hear mumbling coming from the living room. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I did hear my name. So they were definitely talking about me. I wonder if they don't believe me after all. Do they think I have a crush? Whatever they aren't bothering me about it so I could care less.
