New Romantics

(1)-It's a bra Jay, we all know you are familiar with those-

"Aspen I need a favor from yo-" my brother starts off, but is interrupted by the impact of my pillow against his face.

Jay rolls his eyes but looks at me expectantly.

"What do you want jay?" I ask as I look at my perfectly manicured nails.

An immediate smirk dawns on my twins face as I soon realize what he wants.

"I want Erin." He states simply as he looks at me expectantly.

Without looking up from my freshly manicured   Mint Green nails I counter back," Erin is not an object. She is a human. A human that I'm not helping you 'get'."
He asks again. Obviously not getting the message.
I look up from my nails and give him a curt 'no'
The look he's giving shows me there's no getting out of it.

"On page 3 of the New Romantics Pact" he starts off. Darn Pact.

I roll my eyes as he looks into the air thoughtfully, "paragraph 6. Ah sentence 3. "
He finishes triumphantly.

"If only you could use that skill on test. Mom and dad would actually be proud of you" I mutter.

Jay looks at me confused,"what?". I give him a tight smile while adding a 'nothing'.

He shakes his head," ok well what's your answer.

Hmmm try and convince a airhead who really doesn't need any convincing -or- just set jay up with Erin and not get a pie in the face. Tough decision.

"Fine but remember, for every lay I get a tray, a cookout tray that is." I demand.

He rolls his identical to my own blue eyes," I don't get why you can't buy your own food. Did you run out of your weekly allowance already?"

"Listen I'd rather spend my money on clothes while you'd rather buy condoms, I don't judge you. You don't judge me. Page 4 paragraph 7 sentence 3, If I'm setting you up then I get a payment. " I end with a huff.

Jay nods his head gleefully, his sun kissed brown hair flopping around as he jumps in my bed hugging me.

I chuckle," ok remove yourself" I say as he smells like he hasn't showered in a week.or day. Same thing.

Jay lifts up a piece of clothing with disgust." Ew what is this?"

I roll my eyes." It's a bra jay,we all know you are familiar with those. Now get out of my room I'm trying to do productive stuff."

"Yeah like thinking about the new guys transferring in tomorrow" he shouts as he leaves the room.

NEW boys? And I haven't heard about this?

"JAY" I scream. I jump off the bed to go look for him as run down into the kitchen.
I look on the coat hook and see his leather jacket is gone.

I run to the garage door and see specifically jay cruising out of the driveway in his blacked out BMW. Crap. That is the car Jay uses to impress his lays.

And if I know one thing in life, it's to not get in the way of his hook ups.

I run back into the kitchen through the long hallways and up the stairs and into the office.

This is code red.

I hit the phone and dial the only number I know that will give me the answers.

"Aspen?" The feminine voice questions after a few rings

"Hey Rachel. I have a question. One that I hope you have some insight on?" I ask. Internally hoping she doesn't know anything so that my brother can be called a liar

"Of course" she responds as I can just imagine seeing her thinking about what the question could be.

"Has the mention of new boys coming tomorrow ring a bell?" I ask, waiting for the answer.

I hear her chuckle in the background immediately." Oh Aspen, I thought you'd never ask".
