Changing

Chapter 17- Out of School

When I got home I went straight to my room, telling my mom I needed some sleep. She went to the store to do grocery shopping and etc...and told me to call me if I need her. Now I have time just for myself, to plan.

It took around 45 minutes but I had 5 pages full of notes and ideas on how I can change back. The only ones I focused on were these:

-Eve and Ashlyn lend me clothes

-I tell mom the truth (or that someone robbed the house and took all my clothes)

-Using my allowance I'll buy myself a new wardrobe

-With old clothes, I'll be unpopular again!!! xD

Alright, now phase one has begun. I have to get Ashlyn and Eve back on my side, back to being my friend again. Let's just hope my brother doesn't come back from college to visit any time soon. That's right, I have two brothers. Brandon, and my older brother Ryder, who is in college as I already said.

Ryder is tall, like Brandon and I. He has a mix of black and caramel colored hair, hazel green eyes, and was very, very, VERY strong. He was built like an Olympian would be, mainly because he plays a lot of sports like Brandon does. His features are mixed with mine, and Brandon's. Hence the black  and caramel hair, with hazel green eyes.  

But, the reason I don't want him to visit is because he is overprotective of his baby sister (though I'm not much younger than he is...only a lot like six or seven years older.) Anyway, back to reality. I closed my notebook and headed down stairs expecting the house to be empty.

As I glided down the steps, and skipped into the kitchen I stopped in my tracks. There in front of me, devouring a bag of chips was Ryder. The last person I wanted to see, at least for now. His eyes lit up when he saw me, then in seconds I was engulfed in a hug.

He smelled like Axe, and something else...chips maybe? He let me go, "Hey baby sis." I backed up a step, he didn't know about my "makeover". "Oh, hey Ryd! It's so nice to see your home, but I'm not feeling well so I better go back to bed. Really uh..sleepy! Yeah, sleeping will help. See ya!" I said hurriedly turning away.

He grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me back, eyeing me suspiciously. "May I help you, Ryder?" I asked trying to act normal. "Yeah, first were pulling Brandon out of school." He said picking me up, throwing me over his shoulder, and carrying me to his car. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?" I screamed pounding hard on his back.

After setting me in the back seat, and strapping me in he climbed into the front. "I don't have to sit in the back you know! I have my own car, I can drive!" I complained pouting. "I don't care." He said driving to the school.

After pulling up, he went inside, and two minutes later came out dragging Brandon by the ear. Watching him being shoved into the car, Ryder started the car up again and drove home. "What are you doing Ryder!!!!" Brandon shouted kicking the back of his seat. "Pipe down! I'm figuring things out!"
