"GENE! OPEN THE DOOR DAMMIT!" I banged on the bathroom door.

It was the first day of school, and my douche bag of an older brother, Gene, was hogging up the bathroom that I shared with him and my little brother Dante.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, JUST GIVE ME A DAMN MINUTE!" Gene yelled back.

I continued to pound my fist into the door.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU SAID THAT 20 MINUTES AGO!"

Dante tapped on my shoulder.

"Um Am? You might want to stop yelling or else Mom's gonna-"

"GENE? AMETHYST? WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING?!? IT'S MUCH TOO EARLY FOR THIS BULLCRAP!" Our mom's voice boomed throughout the entire house.

Dante and I shrunk back in fear.

"Sorry mom!" I called back.

"That's what I was trying to warn you about..." Dante said meekly.

I turned to him, "I know Dante, and I'm sorry, I just don't want Gene to be the reason that you're late for your very first day of high school."

Gene's a junior, and I'm a sophomore, and Dante's the youngest so he's a freshman.

I narrowed my eyes at the door.

"And we're all gonna be late if Gene doesn't get his a** out of the bathroom-"

The knob on the bathroom door clicked and turned.

FINALLY.

Gene came out of the bathroom with his usual smirk plastered on his face.

"Here you go, the bathroom's all yours."

I rolled my eyes at him and then glared, "What were you even doing in there?"

He shrugged, "You know, just putting on some cologne, fixing my hair..."

Dante and I took one whiff of him and gagged.

Wow, and here I thought that my brother couldn't smell any worse...

"Man, that's... strong..." Dante coughed.

I blinked multiple times in an attempt to keep my eyes from tearing up.

"And the award for anti girl magnet of the year goes to, Gene Matataki... " I muttered.

Gene rolled his eyes and smirked, "Haha, very funny... Oh, Amethyst dear, here-"

He tossed me an empty glass container.

As I caught it, I stared at the object and read the label.

"Black Death Cologne", it read.

It should say "Dead Rat".

"What am I supposed to do with any empty bottle of cologne?" I asked, making sure that Gene could hear the irritation in my voice.

"Make yourself useful and throw it out for me, will ya? I'm gonna go have breakfast."

And with that, he headed downstairs.

That. Little.

Oh I'll throw it all right...

"Grrr... GENE!" I reeled my arm, ready to beat Gene's behind with the bottle.

"AM! Am," Dante grabbed my arm, "Let's just get ready before Mom beats us with that bottle."

I lowered my arm and pouted.
