Macey here! This is my first time in the saddle so I hope y'all enjoy!
***********************************
Living in a small town one thing people agree on is football. You can love or hate eachother but come friday nights everyone is in those stands cheering on their boys of fall.
I guess you could say my parents were determined to have a girl, because out of the five of us I am the only one. Not to mention the youngest. Which sucks cause trust me living in a house full of testosterone isn't all sunshine and daisies that's for sure. Not to mention just about every weekend our house has atleast 20 people staying over or hanging out with all of my brothers participating in extracurricular activities. I honestly dont know how my parents manage, because i am just a 15 year old girl and sometimes feel like i want to pull my hair out. My parents fell in love in college when my dad got drafted for the NFL. He played two years for Atlanta Falcon's as their quarterback then quit when my mom got pregnant with my oldest brother Matthew.

Beep! Beep! I rubbed my eyes and turned off my alarm clock. Thank god it's Friday. I threw the cover off my body revealing a baby blue tank and short sleep shorts. My carpet in my room was soft on the bottom of my feet as i made my way to the door, but fell with a oomf! Over something, or someone to be exact. "What the hell Chris!" yelled Lexi groggly. Lexi and i have been bestfriends since the first grade. When we decided to start a food fight. We bonded while picking mac & cheese out of eachothers hair for like a hour. So yes Lexi and I would be those two girls you'd find in the back of church messing with an elder who fell asleep, and everyone including the preacher could hear our muffled laughter.
"Sorry Lex, why are you on the floor?" i ask, distinctively remember her passed out on my bed lastnight. She looked around and i could see the confused look on her face. "No idea." she replied causing me to laugh. I shook my head and opened my bedroom door catching a whiff of my mom making pancakes. I walked down the stairs at a fast pace with Lexi hot on my heels. Living with 5 boys you learn early in life that the number one rule is first come first serve. And if you dont get there then you better start cooking cause you aint getting any food that's for sure.
"Christina, Alexis, how'd y'all sleep?" asked my mom as she stood in front of the stove top. "Great," i replied. "yeah nothing like someone running over you to get your blood flowing." said Lexi sarcastically as she chewed on a crisp piece of bacon. " I see that no matter the time of day your sarcasm is always effective Alexis," said my mom smiling at Lexi's very unique sense of humor. Causing all three of us to laugh. Both Lexi and I went to grab a piece of bacon but stopped when my mom smacked our hands. We both gaped at my mother as she turned and flipped the last pancake.
As she carried the finished food to the table the door opened and in came 5 shirtless males covered in a thin layer of sweat they worked up on their morning jog. At the sound of the door opening Lexi and i jumped up and prepared our plates knowing full and well that in the next .5 seconds the food would be devoured. Once i finished my breakfast i sat my plate in the sink and once i turned i saw the most rediculous sight that i knew it would only be found in the Carter household. There was one pancake left Jesse 15 my twin the youngest of the boys who lives and breathes to make my life a living hell and Luke the second oldest who is 18 and a senior arm wrestling over the pancake with David the 17 year old a Junior behind them being the Ref.
As i walked by them Lexi got up grabbed the pancake and licked it then put it back on the plate. I busted out laughing and my mom's nose scrunched up. Luke grabbed the pancake and ate it. "Gross!" everyone yelled. Luke replied with a toothie grin. We went upstairs to my room and started getting ready for school. I changed into a purple panther football shirt, white jean shorts, and black gladiator sandals. My long brown hair was loosely curled, i put on eyeliner and mascara with white eyeshadow that brought out my chocolate brown eyes.
