He was coming home

^^ Cucumber

"How's Seth's leg?" I aak whatever his name is, Fin?

"It's broken" he replies

"Eh" I say, shrugging and he gives me a look

"In four places" he adds

"Still eh" I say shrugging again walking into the kitchen to get some food

"It's like she doesn't even care" Fin says but quietly if that makes sense

"She never has and never will, I could die and she'd have the same response" Charlie says

"Nah I'd have a massive party" I correct him

"What if  I die?" Fin questions

"I would go to Hawaii and have a party there" I reply and he makes a weird looking sad face

"She probably would have murdered you and made it look like an accident" Charlie says to cheer him up

"Is that supposed to make it right?" He asks

"I don't know, is it?" Charlie answers

"Before anyone to tries to kill anyone
I would like to announce my alibi which everyone will back me up on, I was at school with my boyfriend and best friends" I announce

"You can't have an alibi if your the one that's dead" Charlie points out

"You'll be dead before you even attempt it" I remind him before going up to my room

And of course Gem has climbed through my bedroom window instead if using the key that I know she has to open either the back door or the front door 

But apparently climbing two stories to open a very much locked small window without slipping on the vines and wet stone is so much easier

"What are you doing here?" I ask her

"I was bored and I felt like climbing something" she replies

"Why not do your homework for once" I suggest

"No way, besides I burn all the homework I get" she replies smiling happily

"No wonder you were suspended" I comment

"Can we go shopping?" She asks

"No" I say

"Please?" She whines

"No" I tell her

"Pretty please?" She whines louder

"No and that's final" I say and she glares at me but gives up

"Go home Gem before your parents discover your missing"  I tell her

"Oh they won't find out ever" she replies

"What did you do?" I ask dreading the answer 

"I locked them in their rooms" she replies

"And what happens if they get out" I question picking up Cucumber

"Then they'll think I'm asleep in my bed and assume Fin did it and they won't suspect that I had anything to do with it" she replies

"This is going to end so badly" I mutter

"Stop worrying it's not like I broke my brothers leg" she tells me

"It wasn't my fault, besides he had it coming" I say

"You keep telling yourself that" she says

"You really should go before Fin discovers you" I tell her

"So what? I know things that he never wants anyone to ever find out about"  Gem replies 

"Like what?" I ask curious ignoring the fact that she'll blackmail him because she doesn't want to get into trouble

"Like how many girls he's gotten pregnant" she replies

"How many?" I ask

"I'm not telling you that, it's private information" she replies

"Really? So why so you know?" I question 

"Because it's my business" she answers

"Not really" I point out

"Can we please go shopping?" She whines

"No I promised my dad I wouldn't get arrested" I say rejecting her suggestion

"Fine, can we watch tv?" She asks

"No, I'm trying to do homework, go home" I reply

"Your no longer my best friend" she huffs and climbs back out the window

"Finally, now I can find a better best friend" I mutter to myself

"Ow! Cucumber no biting" I scold her  putting her down on her bed

"Dinner in ten" Charlie yells

I've already had dinner and he knows that

I think he's officially losing his mind

If he has ever had a mind to lose which he probably has never had one

But whatever I'll just pretend that I haven't eaten unless the food looks disgusting

Either way it will end with me throwing up
