"Dude. Tori. Tori." I felt someone shoving me. "Tori you didn't wake us up. What if he put a bomb in your room while we were sleeping!" Nancy kept bugging me. "Just let me sleep." I grumbled. "Tori..." "Marie if you don't leave me alone I will lock you in my bathroom." I mumbled into my pillow. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the floor..." Marie interjected sarcastically. "Or she didn't get enough sleep." Nancy pointed out.

Oh trust me.

You.

Have.

No.

Idea.

After that little encounter with Jason, lets just say I barely got any sleep. All I could think about was how close we were. So close that we almost kissed. He would have been my first kiss... All of it was because my brother doesn't care!

I sighed getting up muttering a few curses and slumped my shoulders entering my bathroom.

"I cannot tell Marie or Nancy. No one can know." I chanted over and over agin while brushing out the tangles in my hair. Talk about major bed head. Or should I say almost kissing Jason hair...

It won't happen again. He doesn't like me like that. I'm the quirky nerd next door. His best friends younger sister... Yeah younger by five minutes.

"Ugh! Why me! Why just one thing go right for once!"

I slumped out of the bathroom and onto my floor. I looked around the room. The girls are gone.

"Figures..." "Figuring what?" I jumped. I looked over and saw Josh walking into my room. "N-nothing." "Alright gump. Mom wanted me to tell you breakfast is ready. Oh and that you need to come down and help set up the table." "Why can't you!" I whined. "Jason is here." "Wonderful..." I grumbled. I got up and pushed my brother out of the way. "Hey you better learn who you're talking to! I'm the older one!" "Oh go fuck yourself. Your older by five minute." I rolled my eyes and hopped down the stairs.

"Young lady did I hear the F bomb coming from that little mouth of yours." "No. That was Josh mimicking me." I lied. "Joshua!" I snickered and got all the silver ware and left to the dinning room. "Look who decided to come out." I rolled my eyes at Jason. "Why are you in here don't you have someone else to go bother." "Come on let's face it Victoria. You're happy that I'm bothering you. You're giddy when I talk to you." "First of all, don't call me that. Second, that was in the past. Now I've realized your an annoying porn loving jerk." I set up all the plates and walked out of the room into the backyard.

And guess who followed me.

Jason.

"Stop stalking me." "You know I could say the same for you." I blushed and turned around. "Just shut up." After what felt like hours but was actually only seconds Jason said I was boring and walked away. I breathed a sigh in relief. Don't get me wrong I still like him so so so much. But, I realized how much he is like ten year old. Always being a pest.

After watering all the plants my mom has in her garden I went back into the kitchen. Time for breakfast. "Hey kiddo why didn't you come and eat while we were all eating?" My dad said putting some of the remainders away. "Moms plants needed to be watered." I shrugged. "You never water the plants." "Well maybe today I wanted to." "Honey are you alright? Any um..trouble going on that you wanna talk about." Oh you don't even know. "Nope. I'd say Im pretty dandy. Just wanting to get some fresh air." "Alright kiddo. But remember if you need a shoulder to cry on and tell problems to I'm always here." Dad said patting my head. "Thanks dad." I forced a smile. Even though I don't exactly have anyone except my friends who have a high case of crazy in them I don't exactly have anyone. I mean I can't tell my parents all this drama...especially when it's about a boy...one boy in particular that they'd go all donkey kong on. Jason. And no way in hell am I talking to my brother. I just wish I had someone someone other than my psychotic friends. Overly protective parents. And my douche of a brother.
