 A family of five lives peacefully in the suburban.

One day, the father and mother died leaving their seventeen-year old daughter, six-year old fraternal twins, and six-month old baby son.

The eldest is forced to raise her siblings with little to no help from anyone. A year past and she was able to have her license to drive her brother and sister to their school and her baby brother to a day care center.

They lived by the pension left by their parents and part-time job pay she has. She is able to continue school by an academic scholarship.

After spring, the house next to theirs is sold to a fraternity. They made it into a frat house.

After three days of non-stop partying noise from the frat house, the twin brother walked into the porch of the frat house. The president of the fraternity, amused by the bold act of a seven-year old boy came out to talk with the boy.

"Hey kid, no place for little boys here."

"It's ok, I am not interested," the boy answered.

Further amused, the president gestured to his brothers to come and listen as he had the conversation with the boy.

"Why come all the way?"

"Can you have your noise down? My sisters and brother are trying to sleep."

Suddenly the lights from the boy's house turned on and his oldest sister came running out from their porch with flashlight. One look and she saw her brother in the middle of the guys.

She ran to fetch her brother. The president asked her if she wanted to hang out sometimes.

"You see, I have work to do," she answered.

"What's the big deal? Just a few minutes."

"Just because we don't reek privilege like you do, doesn't mean we ignore what really matters." She turned her back and took few steps with her brother.

"By the way, your roof's falling," she said over her shoulder then walked on.

The president arrogantly looked to their frat house's roof and indeed it was falling destroying the lights, causing people to run out, and deadening the party sound.

The eldest sister sternly talked with her brother.

"We promised we will try to live like a humans, won't we?"
