~Ethan's POV~

God this is gross. Is my brain playing mind games with me?
All day I've felt weird around Harley, from breakfast to her bumping into me at school and now this. Just tell why did we agree to pose as lovers and get our picture taken? This is just straight up weird.
"Cmon Ethan, at least let's see how good posers we are," Harley laughed.
"Action," said the photographer.
I began to stare into Harley's eyes, trying to ignore all of the weird vibes I've been getting from her since this morning. It didn't work.
For some reason she began to smile and blush making me lose concentration. I have to admit that my sister was beautiful but I'm sure that I'M not supposed to think of her that way. After a while without noticing it, I spaced out.
"Ethan? Is Ethan Diaz here or not?" said Harley, waving her hands in front of my face.
"Oh, sorry. I -uh-don't feel good. Bad lunch," I lied.
"Really." Harley sneered, completely undeceived.
"I just-never-mind-let's go," I say, grabbing her hand and running out of the park.
"Thank you, French guy!" I shouted to the photographer.
"You're welcome! And I will be here tomorrow at this same spot with your results!" He shouted back.
After a few seconds, I grew tired of running. "Ethan, can we-we slow down- please," I say, trying to catch my breath.
"Oh. Ok," he says just standing there like didn't just finish running out all his energy.
"Well why are you in such a big hurry huh?"
"Nothing special."
"Okaaaaay."
"I just felt like I needed to run. Plus we have to go by Mabel's today, remember?" I bring up as an excuse. Probably seeing her would clear my mind.
"Mabel's, why? Ohhh I know, so you two could get all mushy, huh?" She teased.
"Nah...I'm just getting bored with you," I frowned. That was my way of annoying her.
"Whaaaaat? And the fun just started?! No way." She crossed her arms. "There's no way your leaving me for her."
"Hmm...someone seems jealous," I smirked.
"Ha! Yea right,"she rolled her eyes.
"Well let's go then," I say. I reach out my hand to her to help her off of the ground. Then I decide to get back at her for annoying me all day.

~Harley's POV~

Ethan reaches his hand out to me.
To slap or not to slap?
I'm so much more interesting than Mabel. I have no idea why he likes her and her bold, sweet, outgoing ... UGH! self. Fine. I'm jealous. So what?
I have ideas flowing out my brain with things to do but she just likes to wrestle and compete with guys.
I pay attention to Ethan but she wants to fight, challenge and play with him, never having a single decent conversation about life 😑.
You know what? I know exactly what I'm going to do.

"I'm going to prove to you, whenever I get the full chance, that I am way more interesting than Mabel," I declared, deciding take "not slap" away Ethan's hand.
"oh brother, look Harley that is not necessary OK? Cause when you're busy proving something, Jesus could come and you won't even see him come or go," He shakes his head. Then he looks into my eyes which for some reason gives me the same feeling that I felt while taking the picture earlier. "don't worry, nobody can ever replace you," he smiles after taking my hand in his.

For the rest of the walk, I don't say much, but still I love proving things so here I go. As if he had read my mind Ethan says, "remember we still have the party tomorrow night so be a good girl."
"As if I never am," I reply.
Ethan stiffens up next to me.
"Well you haven't been lately."
"how? I swear I did not read your journal in like an entire week."
He chuckles and kicks around rocks, hoping not to have to answer my question.
"Oh come on Ethan what have I done?" I laugh.
"Good thing you didn't read my journal in the past week you probably would've freaked." He kicks around more annoying "change the topic" rocks.
"Ha! That makes me want to read it now," I taunt.
As if he didn't hear me say that I was going to read his journal he says bluntly, "i'm 15 Harley, and that's the problem. 15 and growing and you- I don't know. I'm just feeling weird these days. We're both growing you know."
We stop in front of Mabel's house.
"But what does that have to do with me being bad?"
He looks down at me in deep thought, but as he was about to open his mouth, the door to Mabel's house opens.
"Hey guys! Good thing that you come at this hour of the day because I have a new game that I bought and Ive been dying to find the right person to play it with!" She comes out and grab Ethan's hand forgetting that I'm even standing there. "You can play to Harley even though you're not good at it," she says to me after we get inside. "JK, if I don't let you play Ethan might jump on me," she laughs and gets out her video game.
After a hour or two of me watching Mabel beat Ethan at nearly every game and then getting beaten myself, we decided to have a snack of fried chicken. sooooooo good. I would KILL for fried chicken. JK, I would kill for ice

"You don't eat it like that," Ethan says, taking the chicken wing from me. "Eat it like this!" he quickly smears the sauce all over my face then laughs.
I was so not amused. "ETHAN!" I shrieked. He was still laughing.
I came up with an evil plan.
"Still sitting there with a clean face, huh?" Before he could realize what I was about to do I smeared the Mayonnaise all over his face.
"Holy crap, Harley! Seriously? At least the sauce I smeared on your face tastes good. Mayo tastes horrible."
"what how can you not like Mayo?"
"makes me feel gay," he jokes, ignoring the guck on his face and eats some more chicken.
"How?" Mabel asks. " there's no connection."
"seriously Mabel, out of all people you're perverted self should know what I'm talking about." He threw a wing at her. Of course she caught it.
"Ohhhh! It looks like cum!" She guessed.
"Correct and gross," Ethan laughed. "But hey, we still got a baby in our midst." He pointed at me and Mabel made a fake "oopseys" face.
"Seriously guys? Only two years younger than you guys. And I know what cum is. Not big deal." I stick out my tongue at Ethan.
"Prove it." Mabel loves to see a person embarrass themselves.  But I wasn't having that. I was going to prove to her that I had a full teenage mind.
Without thinking, I put myself on Ethan's lap and begin to lick the mayo off of his face. He just sits there in all in complete surprise. "Harley,what are you doing? like what the heck?" He asks wide eyed.
"All clean!" I say getting off of his lap.

" Awww...you guys are so cute together too bad your brother and sister," says Mabel, shocking the both of us.

"Say what?!" We shout in unison.
"Well that looked completely sexual! Good job and good act," Mabel said, going into the kitchen leaving us to ponder on what she just said.
But I wasn't able to focus on just that.
I had just experienced something completely horrific. Something that was completely my fault. Is what I just did sexual like Mabel said? Is that why I felt that-that "thing"  while sitting on Ethan's lap? Was that even supposed to happen? I'm his sister.
My suspicions were confirmed within two seconds.
"Ethan I -
"I gotta go!" Ethan yelled. He probably thought that I didn't notice but he was definitely grabbing his pants on the way to the bathroom.

What did I just do???
