Frowning, I looked between my two choices.

Whipped cream

Marshmallows

Whipped cream

Marshmallows

Oh stuff it

Shaking the can of whipped cream, I spiralled it on top of my hot chocolate. Placing the marshmallows on top of the cream, I topped it off with some chocolate powder. Proud of my creation, I sat down on the kitchen counter and took a sip. All I got was a mouth full of whipped cream... maybe a marshmallow in there too.

Of course peace never lasts long, as I heard the familiar footsteps of one of the Miller boys making their way into the kitchen. Looking up from my delectable drink, I saw Carter rummaging through the cupboards.

"Hey" I greeted from behind my cup.

Carter turned around and flashed me a grin.

My god, is it normal for some ones teeth to be so white?

"Hey Turner" he said. By the looks of it he had found a few choice foods and made his way over to the counter beside me. The seating was familiar due to our dainty breakfast the other day.

Taking another sip of my hot chocolate I nudged Carter in the shoulder "Next time you see your brother, tell him it's always polite to knock before entering" I said, remembering my situation last night.

Carter smirked "Which brother?" I rolled my eyes and pointed over to Mason, who was currently outside the kitchen window, chasing after what appeared to be... a chicken?

We let out a chuckle before we looked away from the window and back to our previous activities, being eating and drinking. I saw Carter casting a glance at me and hiding a smile.

"What?" I inquired, looking at him questioningly.

He turned to face me, a small grin etched onto his face. "You got a little something on your face" He murmured.

"Whaddya mean..." I asked again. Rolling his eyes, Carter picked up a wipe from the bench and gently wiped my cheek, where there was apparently some whipped cream. A little shocked from his gesture; I gave him a small smile, which he returned with a light chuckle.

Who knew these boys could be sweet?

Finishing the remainder of my drink, I went a placed it in the dishwasher. Walking out of the kitchen, I stopped when I heard Carters voice "Do you like Colton?"

"Umm, as a friend yeah. Not like anything else though" I said, curiosity seeping through my voice. "Why, jealous?" I joked.

"In your dreams" he scoffed, walking towards the hallway, ruffling my hair in the process.

I was left to sort out my now, spiked up hair, muttering lots of choice words under my breath.

looked up from my phone and stared out the window. Eyes flickering over to the clock, I realised it was now nearing 4.

Deciding to get off my ass, I went over to my dresser and picked up a hair band, tying my hair up in a low side ponytail. Taking my phone with me, I headed downstairs. Walking down the hallway, I could hear the boys yelling at the TV.

Boys and their footy, I don't bloody get it.

Reaching the backdoor, I slipped outside, closing it softly behind me. Setting off in no particular direction, I found myself nearing the BMX track down the end of the farm. Veering slightly left I bypassed it and continued with my... exploring, let's just say.

I could see a figure in the distance, the outline of their arms reaching up into a tree. As I got closer, I could make out the figure as Lachie. I could see apples' growing on the tree and beside him was a bucket, half filled with them already.

"Lachie" I called, once I was in earshot.

Clearly he was surprised, as he jumped and an apple fell onto his head. "Oh, hey Faith" he greeted with a grin.

I'll have to see what kind of toothpaste these boys use...

Walking over and picking up the handle of the bucket, I looked over to Lachie who had picked up the fallen apple and placed it in the bucket.

"I thought you would've been watching the footy" I remarked, as we simultaneously started walking back towards where I could only imagine the house would be.

"Yeah, I would, but I felt like an apple" he replied, eventually laughing as he realised how weak his statement was. I rolled my eyes, but didn't comment.

We walked on in a comfortable silence, while I munched on an apple and Lachie directed us back to the house. As we walked through the back door, the smell of chicken wafted through the air towards me.

As if on cue, my tummy gave a soft grumble, causing Lachie to let out a laugh beside me. I yelled from the kitchen "I want chicken now!" in about 2.4 seconds, Carter had graciously made his way into the kitchen at top speed, the others following closely behind.

Mason walked over to me "It's a shame food can only make him go that fast" he muttered, causing a placemat to be chucked his way. Chuckling, I made my way over to the table, seating myself at the end of the table beside Rider.

Leaning over, Rider whispered in my ear "No one's happy about this seating you know." He remarked, earning him a punch in the shoulder.

"Geez woman! You punch like a man!" he complained.

I rolled my eyes "And you cop it like a girl" I retorted, before devouring my chicken, leaving Rider to nurse his injured shoulder.

Walking up the stairs to my room, I heard voices in the room next to me as I shut the door. Going into the bathroom, I hopped into the shower and did what I had to do.

Walking out the door, I slipped on my pjs. I heard the voices slowly quieten in what I'm pretty sure was Lachies room, and I heard a door shut faintly after. I slipped under my covers and looked over to the picture beside me.

Thing is, it was facing the other direction. Spinning it around, I shrugged of the inkling feeling I had in my tummy and smiled at the picture. I could feel my eyes slowly drooping, but sadly, there were more loud voices at the end of the hall.

I swear, they better shut up or I might just punch them. That's just sugar coating it.

Hey everyone!

I had major writers block, I mean, I had squat. Diddly squat.

This chapter was a little bit of a filler so I'll try to get something a bit interesting in the next chapter or the one after. I didn't put a lot of the boys in here cause I guess what I was trying to do in this chapter was give you an insight on how Faiths days usually come about.

If you've got any suggestions for me then feel free to let me know :)

Anyway... questionsssss

- What did you think of Carters gesture?

- Do you like Faiths character?

- What are you hoping for in the next chapters?

<3 Who's your favourite boy!? <3

Anyway, my writers obligation:
