Chapter 4

Jared's POV

Jade has been even more dysfunctional then usually. She just sits and watches Animal Planet's Too Cute! She hasn't changed out of her sweats. It's hurting my eyes because they are BRIGHT PINK! I decided to be the more responsible one and made the only thing I can cook, pizza.

Elsa still came over every day. On the third day, Wednesday, she finally realized that Jade was not going to get up and get ready. She finally decided to do something about it.

"Get up!" Elsa had a rough voice, almost as rough as her hands!

"No! I don't want to!" Jade's voice was slightly muffled by the pillow her face was mushed into, thankfully she was so loud and obnoxious that we could still hear her.

"You get up or I will pick you up!" Elsa commanded rather harshly. "Get clean or I will clean you myself. I have seen plenty of bare butts."

That got Jade's attention. She swung her legs over the couch and stood up. She shot me a deadly look like I was the one that made our not very good English speaking Hebrew maid victimize her.

When Jade left to get in the shower Elsa turned to me, "Why do you not have school?"

"Spring break." I said flopping down on the now Jade-free couch.

"Break from what? Being lazy?" She started dusting the TV blocking my view of the history channel.

"No! We learn stuff at school!" I say defensively. "Are you going to clean at Alex's house when we move?"

"No I go to New York to visit my granddaughter!" She looks at me to see my reaction she must have been disappointed by my look of disbelief because she turned and grumbled something unrecognisable.

When Jade finally came down she looked somewhat better. Her hair was combed, her face was washed, she had taken a shower, and she changed out of the hideous sweat gear she had going on.

"Can you please make food? I am sick of pizza!" I moaned leaning over the side of my chair and putting the back of my hand to my forehead for the dramatic effect.

"I am too. What do you want?" She grumbled walking into the kitchen.

"Mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh! And steak!-" I started dreamingly.

"No! I can make you toast, toast, or toast."

"I'll take... toast." I sat down and started spinning on one of our counter chairs.

She got out the bread and did her magic.

"So... Elsa says that when we move in with Alex that she is going to New York! You'll have to clean." I put my head on my hands and waited patiently for my snack to be done.

She did something unexpected. No, let me reword that, she did something that I half expected.

She freaked out.

"You know what? I am not cleaning up after a bunch of mentally ill boys! You do it!" She turned and stormed up.

"Jade! My toast is going to burn! Come on I'm sorry!" I yelled after her.

"No your not! You only care about your stomach!" I heard her yell from somewhere upstairs.

Jade's POV

"I still can't believe that they would do this to us! What kind of parents leave their children with immature boys who show no mercy!" I ranted to Elsa who was currently cleaning my bedroom for the third time.

She only grunted.

I groaned and ran my hands through my hair. 'You, Elsa the maid, are officially a boy! A unemotional, stinky, needy, filthy boy!'

I lay back in my bed and stared at the ceiling fan. "Why are you still here? Not to sound rude, but it is three o'clock."

"Your parents want me to stay and calm you down." She said. "And not to tell you."

She turned and smiled at me. 'Yep, now you are girl again, Elsa!'

I pet Blossom, who was sitting on my lap and laid my head on Roger who curled up on my pillow like a huge cat.

Elsa left sometime while I was laying there and I groaned. Now I have no one to talk to. Besides my idiot brother! A thought came to my head, "Why not call Cleo!"

Cleotilde was my best friend. Our moms worked together at the vets and we hung out all the time. She was a little like me, but more quiet and shy. But once you got to know her she came out of her shell and was a blast.

"You called!" Cleo yelled opening my door. I bolt upright making Roger and Blossom look up.

"How did you get in here?" I asked laying back down.

"I climbed into the window of the bathroom, tied up your maid and brother and with ninja skills went around the lasers and here." She said looking satisfied with herself.

"So, Jared let you in?" I asked.

"Yep! He was the one who told me to come over," She blushed. "Something about pink and toast and sweats?"

I smiled. Jared called her, he must still have a tiny little heart hidden somewhere. I could imagine how Cleo looked sitting in her room, then her phone rang and she saw it was Jared and freaked.

Cleo had a huge crush on Jared. He had one on her as well. Why he couldn't just ask her out I don't know. They would be a cute couple.

Technically they are already together. When we were six Jared had asked her to be his girlfriend and gave her a flower ring I had made. That night while we were having a sleepover it fell apart and she had cried all night. They had never really broken up though so I didn't see a problem.

"So why did he want me to come over?" She asked sitting on my reading chair and snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Don't freak out." I said and she nodded. "We are moving. And it is horrible! We will still be going to the same school, but our parents are going on vacation for five months! And that is not the worst part, we can either move in with Grandma Mourine or Alex and his friends! And they are all boys!"

"Are they cute? How many are there?" She asked getting excited.

"Three not including Alex, and no! They are ugly beings that stink and are ugly!"

"So, they're hot?"

"Yes! I can't stand either option. What should I do?"

"When are you moving in?"

"Friday."

"Friday?"

"Friday!"

"Wow, we need to get you ready! Why aren't you packing up?"

"Dad is sending a packing company to do it tomorrow." I sighed. She looked disappointed that she couldn't help with getting ready.

"Do you know where you are going. To your grandmas or brothers?"

"I don't know! Boys or hamsters! Which is worse?"

"Hamsters!"

"Boys!"
