The Debacle Named AvaRafe

1.Story of my life!

The sun is just up on the horizon. With the mellowy yellow dew, it is spreading its wings in full swing. I take a peep in the water pool and find a person similar in features staring right back at me. She has gingerbrown mess of curls over the top of her sun kissed bland skin. Two blue orbs find a place below her brown eyelashes. I nearly plunge to feel the skin of my twin. But as I do so, there's a shrill cry in my ear and that's how I am woken up by my miserable excuse of an alarm clock. Of course to spoil away my most tranquil dream of the past few days, my brother finds a perfect way to wake me up by screaming in my ear and scaring the living daylights out of me.

As I open my eyes, two similar blue eyes inherited from our Father, is staring mischievously back at me. I pull my comforter over my head , trying to reimagine my dream, but alas! my not-so-sweet brother has other plans. He snatches away my cover and throws it at the corner of the room.

"Come on sis, it's way past 9, you promised to take me to the park today. You can't just bail in on me now."

Every other sister might go 'Awwe' at the innocence of his words and face. But I know it better. Those puppy dog faces he makes are only when he wants something done or else you would only wish for him to just disappear into thin air. If you think I am exaggerating , then you are free to try him.

"Phil, it's not even 10, how in the world would that park be open at this hour. And even if it is, I never gave you a fixed time to go there. I just promised to take you there ,never mentioned as to at what time. So now take your not-so-innocent ass off my bed and let me sleep peacefully."

I make a move to reach the duvet but again it is snatched away from me from this little devil.

" You better start getting into shower and get dressed sis, or else my mouth would accidentally spill last Sunday's peanut butter robbery to mum. And you don't wanna know what happens next"

So here you go guys. Thats the real devil I was talking about. Those of you who didn't get what is he talking about, allow me to explain.

It so happened last Sunday , that I was on my way to the dining room of our not-so-elegant house, which is beside the kitchen counter. You can practically see what's being cooked right from the dining room. So yeah , as I was entering the dining room, my eyes lay on the small brown jar of pure heavenly deliciousness!! Yeah you got that right . I have a lifelong crush on peanut butter. If God gave me a choice of eating only one thing for the entirety of my life, I would without a doubt, pick peanut butter. So naturally when I saw the jar, I unknowingly went towards it and started gobbling it up. In the end I didn't realize that I, infact finished the whole jar. And obviously, when I was trying to hide the jar and sneak out, that is exactly the time when Phil rushes to the kitchen for his milk and catches me in the act.

And that my friends is how I'm doomed for the rest of my life in endless blackmailing from my brother. Oh! The joys of having a sibling!!! Yay!! Not.

Back to present I'm torn between sleeping away in my dreams or slipping away from my bed to get dressed. Of course the legit option would be to enter my shower and that's exactly what I choose and make my way to my bathroom, not before smacking his head and pushing him out of my room.

After a long , relaxing shower, I get dressed in my grey sweats and black turtleneck sweater. I pull my hair up into a messy bun and make my way down the stairs to the living area.

My father has a cup of coffee in one of his hand and a newspaper in the other. How he manages to read and enjoy his coffee at the same time is beyond me! Next to him sits Afron, my not-so-troublesome brother. He's a sophomore this year, and he's all but enjoying it.

I grab my granola bar from the kitchen cabinet and make my way towards the door. Placing my feet in my favorite uggs, I call out for Phil and step out the door. I totally expected the 'boo' that came just as I crossed the threshold of the house, seeing as how often I'm used to being offered that by my little devil.

Seeing that he didn't quite get a reaction from me , he slings his head down in disappointment and mutters something along the lines of sis being no fun.

I tell him to hurry up and he obeys by falling in steps with me. We walk for a few minutes in silence. Silence for me because I don't listen to a word he's being chattering around. Yeah I'm talented that way!

Soon we reach the park and Phil rushes towards the Mary-go-round and starts spinning it. I push myself towards the park bench and plant my sorry ass on it. Putting my phone on I look for any messages overnight. But as always I get none. You see, I'm a nobody, always have been and perhaps always will be: in class, in school and practically everywhere. I have a total of zero friends. Actually three, if my siblings and peanut butter count as friends.

Before you start pitying me, let me tell you I enjoy being alone. The drama of having back stabbing bitches for friends and always wanting to get into pants kind of boys for boyfriends is not my forte! You can very well keep those for yourself. Thank you.

Breaking away from my internal reverie, I steal a glance towards my brother and see that he has already made a friend there. And a girl at that! He's so not my brother! He has practically triple the amount of friends as I've even spoken to for the seventeen years of my existence on earth. He makes friends everywhere he goes.

Walking up to them I find they are chatting about a movie thats coming to be up this weekend. As soon as he looks my way, he comes bouncing towards me with his popular puppy dog face. Oh I'm so in trouble right now. I plan on turning back and fledding the scene. That way I don't have to be blackmailed again. But before I get the chance to turn and make a dash for it , my head is smacked on a hard surface and I'm tripped. Although when I ready myself for my fall of disgrace, two hard muscled arms wrap around my waist and steady me back on my feet.

I slowly open my eyes to reveal a pair of familiar green topaz staring back at me. Unlike the last time , when I tried to feel the skin of the one staring at me, this time I feel my body freeze and no amount of fire seem to defreeze it.

I would like the earth to open and swallow me whole right now, rather than to see my already doomed life crumple down to the lowest possible bottom.
