Good to be bad .

Chapter 11

Mom and Mick are in the kitchen drinking tea and reading the Saturday morning papers .

Mom has the property pages and Mick has the stock exchange section .

"Hungry love I can make you a fry up?" Mom offers but I shake my head .

"How was last night ?" mom asks and I was expecting an ear full for not coming home but she seems unfazed by it .

"Yeah it was alright " I reply grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge .

Maybe she's used to that with Evie .

"You settling in then love ?" Mick asks
"Yes I am thank you " I reply offering him a smile .

"You met the lads then ?" Mom asks.

"Yeah i did " i reply keeping my answers short with the fear I would say to much .

"Them are a right lot aren't they " mom laughs
"Ah I guess so ? " I reply not really understanding her .

"That Harry is a character isn't he ? And Zayn well he's a handsome chap and very polite " she replies stifling another giggle .

"Yeah there alright " I reply rolling my eyes unknowing to her .

"Oh Mick look they have them tiles in the kitchen .. " Mom cries out suddenly , shoving the paper in Micks face .
"We just redid the tiles . I thought you were happy ?" he replies rolling his eyes .

"I do but look " she replies sadly .

Mick shakes his head and gets back to his paper And I giggle at them .
There funny them too .
Mom is always so forward and loud and Mick just takes a back seat ,
He's so calm .

"I'm going up stairs to make a call" I tell them .

"Calling your manchester friends then .. you must miss them " mom replies absentmindedly as she flicks thru the paper .

"Yeah " I reply but I'm lying .

I'm calling my Dad but it makes me feel uncomfortable saying that in front of them .
I know they dealt with it a long time ago and I know things may seem a little weird with me not living with my mom but we are used to that , it's always been that way !

After talking to my Dad on the phone for over an hour and taking a super quick shower , I grab my camera .

I love to photograph objects .. Preferable old things but mostly old buildings , structures and objects .
I'm going to explore the shed and see what I can come up with .

I am adjusting the lenses on my camera when I open the door .

" Oh my god " i yell aloud and I jump back with my hand on my heart .
There's a blonde haired boy sitting in the corner .

"Who are you ?" I cry out .

"I'm Maxi who the hell are you " he replies in an accusing tone .

"I'm Riley " I reply still grasping my chest .

"What are you doing in our shed ? " He snaps adverting his eyes to my camera .

"This is my shed ! " I snap back in an accusing tone .

"Well my Moms and Micks but that's arguable -

"Oh my god your the half sister " he asks in surprise and I nod slowly .

He must be a friend of Evie's .
This must be 'his' shed too .

"Yes the half sister . I'm Riley " I tease formally introducing myself .
