Forgotten

chapter 10

"See! I got all the other make up supplies." Meg says as she plops down on the couch, placing the paper bag filled with make up on the seat next to her.

"Its all branded, therefore you will look prettier than you already are." Meg says, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Oh please!" I exclaim. Nobody ever told me that I'm pretty, not even my own brother. Well, whose brother says that his sister is pretty? Forget it.

Speaking of my brother, I remember that he has been sleeping since afternoon and has still not woken up.

"Jordan's sleeping, so I'll go wake him up. He has to go somewhere he told." I say. "Coffee is kept in the fridge so go and get it if you want. Cold coffee so don't heat it." I remind her.

"Okay mommy!" She says and sleepily walks to my kitchen.

Both Meg and Tyler always called me mommy when I told them to do something. They say that it makes the work more entertaining. In what way, I really don't know.

I go to Jordan's bedroom and see that he is drooling. His face is off the bed, his drool falling off his mouth and a devastated bed on which he is sleeping.

He was one heavy sleeper now.

"Jordan! Wake up! You told me you had to go somewhere, didn't you?" I remind. No response. "Jordan!" I say a bit more loudly than last time. "Wake up!" I say. "It's six already!" I say shaking his back furiously.

"Wake me up when I care." He replies, his voice muffled due to his own lips.

"Shut up and Wake up!" I say again.

"Why are you waking me up?" He asks, his head lifts only for a moment then drops again.

"Because you told me to wake you up at five-thirty and now its quarter to six and you are still not waking up!" I say in one breath, obviously irritated. I had to. I repeated that sentence three times now.

"Oh. My. God." Is his reply and he gets up and runs to his bathroom all at once. He splashes water over his face and changes as fast as possible. He runs to the kitchen and I behind him. He takes a sip of juice from the fridge and confuses me and Meg at the same time.

"I'm going!" He shouts and the door closes with a bang. What happened? Whatever might have happened, it happened just in two minutes.

I look at Meg who was utterly confused. I laugh at her awesome expression and she just glares at me, and I laugh harder.

"Shut up Ash." She says passing me a cool glare.

"You looked awesome in that expression of yours." I say and laugh harder at the thought.

"Forget that. Tell me, when is the party then?" She asks sighing loudly at my enjoyment.

"Its at nine according to the pamphlet." I say, at last controlling the laughter.

"Hmm. And its just six right now." She says, glancing at her watch.

"Aren't you going to the party?" I ask, taking a seat next to Meg.

"Nobody asked me, so no." She says shaking her head sadly.

"Aww! Why don't you go with Tyler? He too doesn't have a date." I suggest.

"He is pathetic at dancing. So no." She says, frowning at the thought of Tyler dancing.

"Sad, but why don't you try? Ask him once." I suggest again.

"Nope. I'm fine with not going instead of having Tyler along with me." She says frowning.

"Haha. Okay." I say soothing her by rubbing her back.
