Me and My Twelve Brothers

Chapter 9:

An hour after I left the carnival, my phone was blowing up with messages from the girls. We had a little group text system and this is what it said. 

Early: Mack where r u?😕     8:15 pm

Me: Felt sick so I left early     8:15 pm

Candy: Sry hope u feel better     8:17 pm

Abby: Yea, hope u feel better      8: 20

I didn't want to lie to my friends, but what happened with Carter and me was too intense to share. I spent the night watching old cartoons in my room. There was a knock on the door and it was Felix. "Hey, how was the carnival" Felix was the only one I could trust. I knew a lot about him and he knew a lot about me. After all, he is one of my twins. "F*cked up" I respond. He sat next to me on my couch "What happened this time" he asked. I rested my head on his chest and he patted the back of my neck "Carter and I kissed" I said quickly. He stopped patting my neck "You're kidding"

I lifted my head and turned to him "I'm not. We were talking behind the bathrooms and then.... we kissed" Felix  smirked and poked me "Macky's got a boyfriend" he sang that line over and over again until I yelled "Shut up" He rolled his eyes "Whatever, if you've got a boyfriend that means I can get myself a girlfriend." It was my turn to roll my eyes. I got a pillow from the other side of the couch and chucked it at him. He laughed. He threw a pillow at me and soon, we had a pillow fight.

"Wake up" I felt a gentle slap on my face. I opened my eyes and saw Ethan. "What do you want. It's six in the morning Ethan" I complain. Who wakes up at six on a Saturday morning. He smirked at me "I'm going out for a jog and I want you to come" I groaned and threw a pillow at him, but he easily dodged it. "Don't turn into Moody Mack again please" he said mockingly. I laughed. Moody Mack was the nickname my brothers gave me when I became all grumpy. I sighed and got my Nike. Ten minutes later, we were already jogging down a long street of houses. We stopped by a park and sat on a bench.

"Wasn't this fun" said Ethan. I shook my head "It was nowhere near fun" I said. Ethan laughed "I'll get us some hot dogs." He left to find a hot dog stand. Suddenly, I spot a familiar face. It was Abby. Her eyes met mine and before I knew it, she was sitting right next to me. "Hey, do you feel better" she asked me. I still did not want to tell her "I feel better"

She peered over at Ethan "Is that your brother because he's hot" I give her a face of disgust "Eww! That is my brother" Abby laughed "Are all your brothers this cute" At this point, I was about to choke at this point. Abby saw my face and laughed some more.

"Are you sure feeling better " she asked me. I nod my head "Yeah, way better" I say. I glance at Ethan to make sure he wasn't coming and I turned to Abby "Can you keep a secret Abby" she nods excitedly "What do you need"

I take a deep breath "I kissed Carter yesterday, well it was more like he kissed me but you get it."

Her face is shocked but it slowly recovers "Are you serious Mack"

I look at her with a frown on my face "Sadly, I'm not and the worst part was is that I actually enjoyed  it "

Abby's mouth fell wide open "You totally should ask him out"

Ethan jogged back with the two hot dogs "Hey Mack who's your friend"

"None of your business"
