Chapter 4:

Teagan's POV:

After Michael gives me some space, I change out of my sweat-filled clothes for a pair of oversized basketball shorts and a nirvana tank top.

I step through the curtain, swaying slightly as Ashton jerkily shifts the bus in to first gear, and starts puttering down the road.

"Do y'have an Xbox?" I ask, more out of politeness than not knowing. I saw the remotes scattered on the floor and I desperately wanted to play. Having 6 brothers drastically change your habits and hobbies, to the point that I'd rather play video games and watch movies than do much else.

"I play a mean game of Black Ops," I grin, catching the remote Calum tosses in my direction.

"You play?" Luke asks, digging through the laundry until coming up with a remote.

"Yeah, having six brothers really change your habits for the worse,"

I laugh, perching atop the pile of briefs and dirty tee-shirts.

"No faiirrr!" Ashton whines, glancing back before quickly giving his attention back to the road. "I wanna play Teagan first!"

"It's okay Ashton, I'll school your friends here and then take you down. Leave the best for last, how about that? I grin,

"Oooh is that smack talk I hear?" Michael hoots, grabbing a remote and hopping in to the space between Luke and I.

"Yeah, yeah it is," I glance over, catching Calum's eye as he drops in to the beanbag.

"Team death match or free-for-all?"

"Free-for-all," I nod, brushing a few stray hairs from my cheek. "I wouldn't want any of you guys slowing me down."

"Yeah, she's just asking to get beat," Michael nods, selecting his Xbox ID.

"Lemme make one," I nod, typing my username for everything in to the blank space.

"Ego bruiser?" Luke questions, selecting his character.

"Yeah, I mean I'll be bruising all of your egos when I beat the living shit out of you. I dunno, I've been using the name since I was 13?" I shrug, picking my weapon.

"Right, lets get to it then," Calum nods, selecting the map Nuketown 2025.

"How'd you know this was my favorite map?" I laugh, gripping my controller tighter in suspense.

"Nuketown's everyone's favorite," Michael grins, hunching over in anticipation.

The countdown numbers click down and then the map flashes up on the screen.

"Alright Luke plan X," Calum nods, an evil glint in his eye.

"What's plan X?" I ask, Michael worriedly, making my avatar duck behind a box.

"Oh shit, we're screwed!" Michael whines, biting his lip.

10 minutes, and two rocket launchers later, Michael and I were pouting while Calum and Luke whooped and ran around the bus throwing clothes like confetti.

"We tied and you two lost. You can just go ahead and suck it!" Luke laughs proudly, wagging his controller in my face.

"If you cared to know," I shrug, tossing the controller aside. "I always lose the first few times. Gotta get in the groove right?"
