Her Secret

02 | SHIRTS

JAY'S P.O.V

I wake up to kicking in my side so I opened my eyes only to be blinded by the sun coming through my window. I roll over to see my little sister Millie asleep next to me. I smile at her sleeping form and quietly sneak out of the bed before I got into the bathroom to change. I train every morning and night before I go to street fighting competitions. My little sister Millie is six years old and I have raised her for the past four years since our parents passed away. Our older brother Bradley or 'Brad' as we call him became our legal guardian when I was only fourteen but soon left us to go to college. When Brad went to college my parent's old gang that they owned took Millie and I in and on my sixteenth birthday I took ownership of the gang. Throughout the years Millie started calling me dad even though I regularly took her to see our parent's graves. Millie and I now live in a house with our closest friends. Today is the first day of senior year and we are going to go out with a bang. My friends Caleb, Lili, Josh and Lukas all live together with Millie and myself. Caleb lives with us because his parents were killed along with mine and is my second in command, Lili lives with us because Caleb is her boyfriend and her parents disowned her. Lukas has always stayed with my family as my parents adopted him and Josh is the child of our parent's friends that took Millie and me in. 

After I finished training I got up and walked downstairs and walked to the living/dining room area to make some breakfast. I get downstairs and see Caleb and Lili cuddling on the one-seater couch, Josh in his underwear drinking coffee and Lukas lying on the floor asleep. I laugh at Lukas and walk around the counter to get some cereal. I made my cereal with yoghurt and sit down before demolishing the food. 

"Go get dressed," I yell to everyone before heading upstairs to get dressed, "school will be starting soon," I dart upstairs and quickly shower before getting on a tight white shirt and dark blue jeans on. I go out of my bathroom and to my bed.

"Millie come on honey it is time to get up," I say in a soft voice. I laugh as she groans and turns away from me. I quickly grab her and lift her into the air only to hear a loud squeal and giggling before I place her on the bed and tickle her.

"Come on Honey it is your first day of year one," I say and watch her jump excitedly. I go into her room and find her in a peach dress with a green jacket and brown leather boots. 

I walk back into my bedroom and give Millie the clothes before going back down stairs to make her breakfast. I was in the middle of serving some French toast onto Millie's plate when I heard little feet come down the stairs. I watch as Millie jumps down the stairs before she walks over to the counter and tries to sit on the tall stools. I laugh and her concentration before going around and helping her out. Once Millie finished her French toast everyone piled into my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. we drive while listening to the radio and talking about random stuff. We arrived at Millie's school at 8:00am only thirty minutes before our homeroom starts. I walk Millie in and we find her class. As I walk into her classroom I feel a tug on my hand I turn around and see Millie pulling me away.

"What's the matter, Millie?" I ask as I squat down to her height.

"I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with you," she says with tears coming to her eyes. I pull Millie into a hug as she cries.

"Just think of all the new friends you will make and then you can have playdates," I say soothingly.

"Ok," she whispers before pulling out of the hug and giving me a kiss before going inside. We say goodbye before I go back to the car and head to Los Angeles High School.

It was exactly 8:30am when we arrived at school. We all quickly ran out of my car and into the office. We walk into the out dated office and run towards the seniors pin board which beneath contains everyone's schedules. I flick through to 'L' and rush to find my schedule. I open my schedule and read through it hastily before exchanging my classes with the gang.
