Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm the middle child. I have an older brother, named Zach and a younger sister named Jennifer. I live in Reno, Nevada on a ranch mansion. In case you didn't

know, a ranch mansion is a mansion with 5 horses and a lot of land in as your backyard to ride them. Mine is a black male named Midnight. My brother and sister started school Wednesday while I was home sick with the flu. It doesn't matter where we go to school, my big brother is always that jock that every girl wants while my sister is the most popular and has all the guys drooling over. Whereas I, remain with no attention what so ever. So I'm not looking forward to another year of guys talking to me only to ask me for my sister's number. Or another year of girls pretending to be my friend to get closer to my brother. Oh, I should add one more thing before school starts, I have never believed in love since my ex cheated on me with my own sister.

Today I start school. I was awoken by the light coming in through my window and the smell of eggs and bacon downstairs. I stepped out of bed stretching my bones, then jogging down stairs. Once I reached the kitchen I took a seat next to my brother. We are super close.

"Morning Sarah, are you going to school in that." He joked gesturing to my oversized The Wanted T-shirt and basketball shorts. "You can do much better" He added.

"Ha-ha very funny Paul Bunyan" I replied gesturing to his plaid red flannel button down shirt, dark wash jeans, and black converse with a grey beanie to cover his curly black hair.

"Well at least-" He paused. Then playfully punched my arm. "You win this round." I mentally fist pumped as my mom made my favorite breakfast, pancakes! I grab the syrup before Zach had the chance to and drowned my hot cakes in it. Then stuffed my face. I noticed the way my brother tried to beat me at eating the fastest. So I picked up the pace an in less than five minutes I was done.

"I'm a champ!" I cheered as I walked past my sister, giving a glare on the way past. I'm still mad at her for having a full on session with my boyfriend.

*Flashback*

"Come on its time to cut the cake, Sarah." Zach called from my living room, which was heavily crowded with all of Zach, Mackenzie, and my friends.

"I have to find Chad first. Do you know where he is?" I asked.

"I just saw him and Jenn go upstairs." He replied. Why would he be with Jenn upstairs? Maybe she needed navigation?But she lives here. Duhh!

I make my way through the crowd and to the hallway. No one is up here. Then I decide to check the bathroom .I knock. No answer. I open the door and no one is there. Just as I shut the door I hear a muffled sound but I can't make out what it is. I follow the sound to my bedroom door. From where I stand outside of the door it sounds like moaning. It couldn't be Jenn and chad. Could it?

I slowly opened my door, and I wish I could drop dead. I can't believe he is having a 'session' with my sister. Instantly a tear fell from my eye. I loved him. Just as it fell, they switched positions his eyes fell on me. His jaw dropped and he paused. Removing himself from Jennifer who sat their trying to cover herself.

"I'm sorry, I-" He began to plead until I cut him off.

" I guess we're over...but I guess you already knew that." At this point tears fall freely from my eyes like two waterfalls. I rushed down the stairs and into the woods in my backyard. I sat on the log next to a small creek. There was a tree with 'Chad and Sarah 4 ever' on it. I picked up a sharp stick and scratched it out." I will never love any guy again!" I screamed then cried.

*End of flashback*

I went back upstairs and entered my room. I walked up to my closet and shuffled through until I found a good outfit for my first day of my sophomore year in high school so I settle with a simple long, grey sundress and black slip on sandal wedges, threw my phone, keys, and wallet into my bag. Then straightened my hair and was out the door of my room .I jogged back down the stairs and into the living room.
