Once Upon an Us

Chapter 3.

We made our way downstairs to the dining table where I could smell the fresh cinnamon freshly melted on the pancakes. I whiffed in the delicious smell. My brothers and sister were already at the table eating their breakfast, doing the same thing I was doing earlier, smelling the delicious food.

I had three siblings who were basically the best thing that has ever happened to me. They were caring, funny, and cheered me up if I was having a hard time, and that happened quite often… Well, Rosie was the youngest one; she just turned seven, and was a real cutie.

Next in line was Jack, he was going to be an eight grader now, just one grade below me, he was the all sports playing kind, not really aiming on one thing.

Lastly there was my oldest brother, Weston. He was going into 12th grade, and he was a die hard football fan, just like my dad, literally. Football. Football. Football. All he ever watched was football, all he ever talked about was football, and the only thing he played was football. He was the QB for the varsity football team, and girls were all over him. Total player. Not even joking. He thought girls were like guitar strings; he could play the strings as hard as he wanted so they broke. Stupid.

I rolled my eyes and turned to Carissa, who was blushing like crazy and tried not to keep looking at him. Ever since we were little, Carissa thought Weston was really hot; she even had a tiny crush on him, which made me want to puke in front of her face. I rolled my eyes again and sat down and said good morning to everyone, Carissa doing the same thing.

       “Hi sweethearts, my goodness Carissa, I still cannot believe it’s you when you walked through that front door this morning," mom stated.

Weston and Cason looked at us after gobbling down their pancakes then looked back at their finished plates, hmm, maybe a record time for both of them... Then they both froze, and took in what they saw the first time, most probably the transformed Carissa Miller. In sync they both looked back up and dropped their jaws.

      “Are you finished Weston, or do you still need more time eyeing her over again?" I raised an eyebrow.

Carissa blushed like crazy and whispered to me, “I think Wes just did the double take! EEEE!!” Carissa squealed like crazy and started eating some of her pancake. I just made a puke face and started eating some of mine too.

      “Uhh, umm, Carissa… is that really… Carissa?” Weston was literally eye raping her whole body and smiling like an idiot.

      “Yes, you creep, now go to school, kay?" I said.

      “Can we have a ride Wes?” Carissa said sweetly, making Weston nod his head a billion times.

      “No Car, it’s ok, we’ll walk-“

      “I’m completely fine with dropping you guys to school in my car, seriously Jess-a-joke.” He and Car chuckled lightly to themselves.

      “Weston Taylor, SHUT UP!” I yelled. I started giving him the death glare while mom gave him the, you better shut up or you’ll be grounded for a week look. If Carissa wasn’t my best friend right now, I would hate her.

      “Jessica by the way, do you want to come to the mall today with Ally and me today with some of her friends? I totally promised her!”

I nearly spit my milk out on Carissa’s new top and almost choked.

      “Wait, what did you just ask me? You want to hang out with that bitch who basically back-stabbed us in elementary school? You have to be kidding me, right? I mean we like-“

      “JESSICA! CALM DOWN,” Carissa shouted.

      “JESSICA! LANGUAGE, ROSIE'S HERE,” mom yelled.

I couldn’t believe it. My best friend wanted to hang out with that… girl who basically ruined our lives in elementary school. Pshh… she can hang out with her, but I don’t. Last year, forget about me, but Carissa couldn’t even look at Ally, let alone hang out with her.

      “You know what,” I spat, “Weston, just drive Carissa to school, I’ll just take the bus. And Car, I’ll see you at school I guess-“

      “No Jess, I’ll go on the bus with you, I mean let’s not ruin the first day especially since we haven’t even gone to school yet,” Carissa said guilty.

       “B-but, I’ll just take you guys, it’s totally fine…” Weston stated.

    “Wes, Carissa doesn’t like you so go get a girl who actually does, which is presumably... no one."

Carissa blushed and I started laughing. Ughh honestly I cannot stay mad at Carissa for more than five minutes. I guess it’s just a thing between us.

      “Yup, I don’t like you W-Wes,” she stuttered and smiled weakly. He smiled back with his 100 watt smile. Smh, that's a first.

I gagged. Ew, I didn’t want to see my brother and best friend together smiling like long lost 53 cousins. The good thing was that Car didn’t have a major crush on him, whew.

Dad looked up from his paper and tried to hide his laughter. Please, he was listening to us this whole time and saw my brother and best friend oogling each other. Ahh the life of having this.

     “Son, if you’re done with your breakfast, could you please drop off Rosie and Jack to school since Carissa and Jessica are going on the bus?

      “Sure dad,” Weston said glumly.

HAA sucks to suck Wes, first girl rejection, how does that feel? I chuckled.

     “Well dad we should go now, bye,” I said as I finished my last bite of this amazing breakfast, yum.

    “Yeah, bye Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, bye Jack, bye Rosie, oh and bye Wes…” she said the last part flirtatiously. And again, I attempted not to throw up in front of everyone.

Carissa sashayed to the front door, was that her new thing? I got up and picked up my backpack and caught up with Car while getting my old sneakers on.

      “BYE!” We yelled.

      “Really, did you have to giggle at everything I said to Wes? Seriously like grow up Jess,” she said as we were walking to the bus stop.

I just glared at her. She never ever told me to grow up the last practically 15 years we’ve been friends, why now so suddenly? We waited for the bus and got on. Of course all the guys staring thinking who’s that hot new girl. Well they didn’t know what she changed into. We sat down, not saying another word until we reached school.
