Controlled Variable: Definitely not my life. My life is as controlled as a forest fire. Can we just pretend I got this thing under control?

"We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained."

Austin and I walk into the house to be greeted by nothing. It's very quiet, much different to the environment that we're used to. We close the door and take off our shoes.

As I take off my sneakers, the door flies open again and I get smushed between the wall and the door. I feel like a pancake.

"Guess who got a date?" I hear one of my brothers yell.

"Help!" I try to scream but my face is still smushed in the door.

Austin pulls the door back and helps me out. I start breathing heavily. Ashton points and laughs at me. I punch him on the arm. I go in to punch him again but Austin holds me back.

Meet Ashton Dizon, the second oldest brother of the family. A 21 years old, Ashton can be described in one word, annoying. Since dorms cost too much, he still lives at home, driving to campus and back everyday.

Ashton heads over to the couch and sits down. "I just scored the hottest girl on campus." he announces and he and Austin high five. I roll my eyes. I don't get them.

"You got a date with Bea Miller?" Austin asks in disbelief.

Ashton nods.

I have no clue who this Bea girl is, but I already don't like her. I'm not assuming that she's a bad person or anything, but I get jealous easily. When my brothers get girlfriends, I'm not the only most important girl in their lives.

I'm selfish, I know.

But you can't blame me! Their last girlfriends were basically demons. I swear. Ashton dated a girl named Savannah for about 2 weeks before they broke it off.

Savannah was a witch. Honestly, she was just missing the broom. Her laugh even sounded like a cackle! She would order things at Starbucks, being so picky with her order that it sounded like some sort of evil chant.

The worst thing about her was that she told Ashton that he should spend less time with me and more with her! After that, he dumped that piece of trash and we never saw her again. (No offense to garbage.)

"Yo, that girl is so hot." Austin drools over a picture that Ashton is showing him.

"I know! She's smart as hell too." Ashton adds.

Ashton may not look nor act the part, but he's smart. He's actually one of those undercover nerds to be honest. He has the body of a football player and the brains of a genius.

"She sounds stuck up." I state, the saltiness in my voice could match the amount of salt in the Pacific Ocean.

Both their heads turn to me. "You don't even know her." Ashton says. Austin looks at me then gives Ashton a weird look.

"Oh." he says before asking, "You seem a bit off today...are you on your period?"

"Ashton!" I scream in mortification. "What is wrong with you?"

He shrugs then approaches me. He puts a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Lila, it's okay. It's just a natural process. The uterus has to shed its endometrium every couple of-"
