Isis's POV

I sleepily walk down the stairs of our (my mom and I) three story house. Yes, we are rich. I don't like to live the "rich lifestyle" though. I chose the smallest room to be mine, an right now I am wearing boy clothes, gym shorts and a blue hoodie.
In not girly either, if you didn't figure that out by my clothes.
I finally get into the kitchen where my mom is reading a book and cooking something on the stove. I look into the pan. Eew oatmeal, and it looks like it's burning. Oh crap it is burning. I turn off the burner and move the pan to a cooler one.
"Your oatmeal is burnt a little." I say.
"Oh." My mom puts her book down and rushes to "save" her oatmeal. "Thank you flower." She kisses my head. Her nickname for me is flower because my name is Isis which is like iris, which happens to be my favorite flower.
"Can we go to the store today?" I ask.
"For what?" She asks as she puts her oatmeal into a bowl.
"I saw these really cool pair of pants. They said "batman" on the back and have the batman symbols going down the leg." I say. I may be obsessed with batman but how can't I be. He is amazing. Creates his own weapons, the bat-mobile, his outfit, I like bats, he's pretty much just a regular man in disguise.
"Did you hear what I said?" My mom asks, bring me back to reality.
"No, sorry." I look down at my feet.
"We're having guest over for dinner." She says.
"Oh, who?" I ask.
"The family across the street. Five boys, a girl, and their parents." She says.
"Ok."
"Wanna help make dinner?"
"Sure." I help my mom make the dinner for ten people.
A few hours later it's done and as if on Que., the door bell rings.
"I'll plate food while you let them in mom." I say.
"Ok thanks, and when you're done go change quickly."
"Ok."
She leaves. I start plating food and setting the table as I hear people talking.
When I'm done I leave the kitchen. The bottom of the stair case faces the door. I look back from the stairs to see a tall blonde guy looking at me. I smile and wave a little to him before rushing up the stairs. I quickly go into my room's walking in closet and change into black shorts that say "Batman" on the butt in yellow, a black tank top, and a zip up hoody that has the batman tool belt and symbol printed on it.
Then I go back down the stairs.

Riker's POV

My siblings, Ratliff, and I are in the living room watching tv. It's four something pm.
Our mom and dad walk in.
"Alright guys and gal." My mom says, "we are going across the street for dinner with the new neighbors today."
"You mean the three story house that no one has lived in for the past two years?" I ask.
"That's the one." My dad says. Rocky and I high five. None of us have been in there before and we want to see how big it actually is.
"There's a lady and her seventeen year old daughter." My mom looks at me as she says seventeen. I don't know why.
"We expect all of you to be on your best behavior. So go get ready, we're going over in forty-five minutes." My dad says.
We all go to our rooms. In mine and Rocky's room, I put on ripped skinny jeans, a random batman shirt that I didn't even know I had, and my black converses. Then I put on my glasses and Rocky and I go back downstairs where everyone except Rydel is.
About ten minutes she comes down the stairs. She has a pink tutu, light blue shorts, a pink hello kitty shirt, and pink converses. She curled her hair and has on makeup.
"Rydel, it's the neighbors not a fancy restaurant." Ratliff said.
"I know but it's a girl in that house. She must be rich to be there and so she is probably girly. If I go over there dressed in random clothes like Riker, she might think I'm not girlyand not like me." Rydel says.
"Hey, are you saying she won't like me because of my clothes?" I ask.
"Doesn't matter, let's go." My dad says. We leave and go across the street to their house.
My mom rings the door bell.
A few minutes later a lady in a black and white dress answers the door. "Hi, I'm Angelica, you must be Stormie." Her and my mom shake hands.
"Yup. It's good to meet you." Mom says.
"You, too. Hey Mark." The lady and my dad shake hands.
"It's good to see you again Angelica." Dad says. "These are our kids. Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ross, Ryland, and that one is Ellington; he's not really ours. Just a good friend who lives with us."
"Hi. My daughter is still getting ready and preparing dinner," she points behind her right as a girl comes into view. She has on gym shorts and a hoody. She smiles and slightly waves at me before running up the stairs. "We can sit in the living room if you'd like, while we wait for her."
My parents nod and soon we are sitting in a big living room.
"It's huge." I whisper to Rocky.
"Yeah... I love it." He responds.
A girl that I'm guessing is Isis, walks in. She's wearing black shorts, a zipped up hoody with the batman's belt and symbol on it, and black converses with the batman symbol on the sides. "Supper's ready." She glances at me and a small smile shows on her face but then quickly disappears. She begins to turn but her mom stops her.
"Oh Isis, this is Mr. and Mrs. Lynch. And their kids... Sorry what's your names again?"
"Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ross, Ryland, and our friend Ellington." I say.
"You can call me Ratliff though." Ratliff says.
"Ok so..." Isis slowly points at each of, whispering our names to herself, "got it. I'm Isis. And supper is ready." She speaks so shyly.
She turns and leads us to a dining room. On the way there I can't help but notice that it says "batman" on her butt. I wasn't purposely looking at her butt though.
We all sat down as Isis came in with five plates on her left arm. She put them down I front of some of us then left.
She came back with five more the same way and puts them down then sits down herself.
"How do you do that?" Ryland asks amused. Isis just shrugs.
Everyone starts having conversations except Isis and I who are silent.
We were sitting across from each other. She isn't eating much if her food, just moving it around and every now and then eating a little bit.
Soon she's just sitting with her hands in her lap.
When we are all done she takes the plates to the kitchen then comes by and sits again.
"Isis honey, why don't you take them to your room to hangout." Her mom says.
She restands and motions for us to follow. We get up while our parents stay.
We go to the second floor to a big room.
"Woah your room is big." Rydel says.
"It's actually the smallest room, believe it or not." Isis says somewhat to herself as she closes the door.
"I see you like batman." I say. She has a batman comic design comforter, batman pillows, posters. There's a small book shelf with comics that all have batman in them plus other random books.
"Yeah... Do you?" She asks, motioning to my shirt.
"Yeah, I guess so." I sit on the edge of her bed. She climbs into the bed and sits by her pillows.
Rydel pops her head out of the closet, "you're not girly are you?" She walks all the way out.
Isis laughs a little to herself,"no."
Rydel smiles, "we're gonna be great friends."
"Why do you think that?" Isis asks; "not that I disagree."
"When a girly-girl and a tomboy become friends in movies, books, real life, so on; they stay together forever. Except for this small break when the girly one starts to force the tomboy to be girly." Rydel says.
"Yup, that's why I mostly hang with guys now..." Isis mumbles to herself but just barely loud enough for me to hear.
Rocky must have heard too, "why do you mostly hang with guy now?" He asks confused.
"A few years ago I had a best friend... She then started to force me to be girly but when I refused it she said we couldn't be friends any more... Then she moved." Isis says, playing with her hands. "I fit with guys better than I do with girls though."
"Does that mean we can't be friends?" Rydel asks worried.
"No girl, of course we're gonna be the best of friends." Isis says.
"Yay!" Rydel runs into the bed and hugs Isis. Isis just sits there scared, scared? Isis clears her throat.
"Sorry." Rydel let's go of her.
"Don't be I was just a little surprised." Isis says.
"Ok." Rydel stands up off the bed.
Ryland then comes out of the closet flipping through a book. "Did you do these?" He looks at Isis.
Isis' eyes widen. She quickly jumps off the bed and takes the book, closing it.
"Ryland, you don't just go through someone's stuff." I say.
"No, it's ok." Isis says putting the book on her desk. I scoot back to the pillows and lean on the head board which only a foot high.
Isis gets on the bed and sits next to me.
"Wanna play truth or dare?" Ross asks. We all say yes except Isis. We look at her.
"Sure." She says. We all sit on the floor.
"Isis, truth or dare?" Ross asks.
"Truth."
"What was in that book?"
"Drawings. Rydel, truth or dare?" Isis says.
"Dare."
Isis grins and goes into her closet. She comes out with a scary gorilla mask and says, "I dare you to put this on, run to the the adults, yell 'I'm the bat-mobile!' Then come back here."
"Ok." Rydel puts on the mask and runs out of the room.

Stormie's POV

"That's cool that your kids sing." Angelica says. We were talking about my kids' band R5. "Isis used to sing with her best friend but then suddenly stopped when they broke up."
"Aw what happened?" I ask.
"I'm not sure, she won't t-" I cut her off by screaming.
Someone comes running in wearing a horrifying mask. Angelica screams too. Mark laughs a little to himself.
"I'M THE BAT-MOBILE!" It was Rydel. She runs away.
We start laughing.

Isis' POV

I hear our moms scream and Rydel yell what I dated her to. Then Rydel comes running back in the room out if breath.
She takes the mask off. "That was funny." She sits back down.
We continue the game but I don't pay attention.
I feel eyes on me so I ask, "what happened? I spaced out."
"Truth or dare?" Rocky asks.
"Um... Dare." I say.
"I dare you to kiss Riker..." He starts.
I kiss Riker's cheek quickly.
"I didn't finish. On the lips." Rocky smiles.
Riker and I look at each other.

Riker's POV

"I dare you to kiss Riker..."
Isis kisses my cheek quickly before Rocky finishes speaking. My cheek starts to tingle from her lips.
"I didn't finish. On the lips." Rocky smiles.
Isis and I look at each other. She gets slightly closet but then the door opens. We sit back.
"Let's go home guys, you've got school starting tomorrow." My mom says.
We all stand up. My brothers, Rydel, and ratliff say bye and quickly leave the room while I'm still just standing there with Isis.
"It was nice meeting you." I smile.
"You, too." I see a small smile form on her lips. She keeps her arms I front of her like a barrier. She holds her left wrist with her right wrist.
She seems so protective of herself, her arms there protecting her somehow.
I feel the urge to hug her... I don't know why.
I look at her face. We lock eyes for a second before she looks away.
I step forward and hug her. At first she's tense but then she relaxes and moves her arms to hug me back.
Not much of a hug though, her arms arm just under mine, her elbows bent, and her hands in loose fists on my shoulder blades.
"Riker!" My dad calls. I step back out of the hug and watch her arms fall slowly.
"Bye." I say.
"Bye." She says. Her voice so small and shy.
I leave the room and follow everyone else our if the house as my parents say bye to Angelica.
I take a shower and lay I bed. I slowly fall asleep with the memory of that hug Isis and I had, my body still tingles from it.

Isis' POV

I just stand there after they leave. Why did Riker hug me?
I liked it. It felt... Right.
My body tingles just a little.
I slowly move to the bathroom. I take a shower then put on boxers and a bra. Then I find a black sweatshirt and slip it all.
My bed has a side that should be against the wall so I push it against one. Then I push it's pull out bed back under it.
I crawl onto the bed and slowly fall asleep.
