Just Another Family

2. Hiro

Chapter 2~ Day 2

Hiro’s POV

This family is weird. The mom and dad are fine but the kids are just weird. Especially the oldest. She seems to hold this mysterious aura around her. it’s like she's hiding something and I can already tell that she protects the others with her life and she keeps them shielded from the big bad world but they have something that I can't quite place my finger on. Violet's gorgeous though. She had such pretty black hair that she always seems to have in a pair of braids. She seems more mature than the rest of the girls at school, but she seems wild at the same time, if that makes any sense. She had steely grey-blue eyes that make you want to flinch. She was really tall too. She looked like she was about 5’7. She had a white stripe in her hair that stood out because of her dark black hair.

                Violet’s little sisters were rather weird too. They were always giggling and looking at me like there was something they knew that I didn’t. It freaked me out. I couldn’t tell the difference between them and I was wondering what possessed their mother to call them Athena and Minerva. I guess she really loved Greek and Roman mythology. They both had bright blue eyes that Violet seemed to share. The one who really freaked me out was Johnny though. Johnny had completely white hair, yes white, and he has really cold grey eyes, very similar to Violets but even colder. Violet’s eyes were combination of her sibling’s and they made her even more intimidating.

                I woke up on the second day and I walked to the bathroom with new clothes to get ready and take a shower. I left the bathroom in new clothes and wet hair 30 minutes later and I walked down to the kitchen. Violet was there with the twins, as she put plates in front of them with delicious looking omelets on them. The girls sat patiently as Violet whistled, letting Johnny know breakfast was ready. I found that weird, why whistle? Why not just call if he can hear her from here? I sat in the same place I sat yesterday during lunch and dinner and watched as Violet place a plate with scrambled eggs and toast in front of Johnny’s seat just as he came in. he muttered a thank you before sitting down and eating, not bothering to say anything to the rest of us.

                “Good morning.” I smiled at the girls and Johnny. The girls said a quick ‘good morning before turning back to their meals. Violet smiled, a beautiful smile, might I say, and said good morning before asking what I’d like for breakfast. I asked for some eggs and juice and she nodded. A few minutes later a plate was placed in front of me with scrambled eggs and toast as Violet took her seat and a plate of her own filled with two sunny-sides up eggs and French toast. I was surprised the Montgomery‘s hired me, their daughter seemed capable enough to take care of them, plus I was only a year older than Violet.

                “Today we’re going to practice our foreign languages, alright?” Violet said as she ate.

 The others looked up before one of the twins, I couldn’t tell which, asked “is it Wednesday already?” Violet nodded before picking up her plate and placing it in the sink. Johnny did the same and shortly after the twins did. I was the last to finish my meal and said I would wash the dishes. The twins giggled as they told me to stay seated. I was confused as one of them took my plate and took it to Violet, who was beginning to wash the plates and once done, passed them to a stoic Johnny who dried them before the twins took them from him and placed them in their proper place. I was done in less than ten minutes and I was impressed that Violet actually managed to get them to cooperate and help with the dishes. I had babysat before and usually the kids dumped the dishes in the sink for me to wash before the parents came home and they were the same age as these guys. Johnny shot the twins an annoyed look as they giggled for no apparent reason before walking over to Violet and grabbing her sleeve. Today she was wearing a black button up collared shirt that was tucked into some black shorts. Johnny had a white t-shirt and some black jeans on and the twins wore the same thing as yesterday. Some matching plaid skirts and white collared shirts with grey ties, a black vest and red bows in their hair.
