''One two three four I declare a thumb war'' Ace and Jordan yelled at the same time.All of us except Kristen,Toby,Aaron,Sidney,and Brittney cheered. Me,Oliver,James,and Miranda work later. When you turn 15 you better have a job or bye bye. Our family history is the most known, and famous. We are very wellknown in every industry. We may be "popular" but we still have our family get-togethers, with or without our parents. Our parents do make us pay rent when we turn 15. 100$ from each child. Saturday thumb wars were a Gortsh family tradition. Ace was about to win when Jordan snuck his thumb out and placed it on top of Aces.

''1,2,3,4,5'' Jordan did his little happy dance. He was younger by a year, but he still knew to watch for strategy.

''Oh yeah, i'm winning!'' He cheered.

''Who's losing?" Tyler asked the scorekeeper. Tyler looked over to Miranda.

Miranda replied sarcastically "Are you stupid or what? Isn't it obvious? Of course its Lacey"

Yeah its true, I suck at thumb wrestling. Well, only vacuums suck, and girls.. sometimes. On certain occasions? If your a. cough, cough. whore.

''I'm the champion'' I heard James yell. 

''Its 5:45''Ace screamed.

That meant Oliver and Marilyn do a checkup on our chores. 15 minutes to get all fancied up, then meet the guests and eat supper. Our parents are really rich so we have guests over twice a month. Not just any guests, Music producers, Model agencies, sport coaches. So its a really huge thing for us kids.

"Matt, Did you write your essay on what you learned in soccer today?" Oliver yelled down 2 flights of stairs.

''Yes,'' Matt replied honestly.

''Where is it?" He asked.

''On top of my bed''

''I didn't see it though''

''Check again''

That's how our conversations went in this house. They weren't much but at least we tried to communicate. In our house we have 9 bathrooms, 20 bedrooms, 1 living room, 4 flights of stairs, and 2 kitchens. A family kitchen and a guest kitchen we got 1 cook who we just adore named Anne.

''Everyone got there outfits picked out?" Marilyn asked.

''Uh huh''  we all agreed.

Some of us already have it picked out, and some have to go on the top floor of the house and look in the clothes section

. ''Okay, Line up everyone!'' Aaron shouted.
