Complicated

Chapter fourteen

"Did you eat some shining crystals? Because your eyes never seem to stop sparkling." I questioned my brother Andrew.

Remember Andrew? My brother Vin's younger brother? Yes. That's him. He had come home for his winter break, to spend time with us. The best part about him was that he didn't know Spanish. Vin and I always ended up pulling his leg, talking to each other in Spanish, teasing him and him being clueless all the time and whining like a baby.

We were sitting in his room, on the floor, munching on pop tarts.

"Haha! Your sarcasm is very much appealing, but honestly, out of all the one liners, you could come up only with a sarcastic one, huh?" He retorted back.

"Yes! Because I'm the reincarnation of Chandler Bing. So, that explains the sarcasm. There you go. You've got your reason." I spoke.

"Chandler Bing! Seriously? You can never match up to his level of sarcasm." He stated drily.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Now tell me why you're sparkling."

"I got to know that my little sister is taking part in the regional music fest. Also, I'm gonna be there to see her perform." He grinned.

No. Fricking. Way. There's no way he's talking about me. How does he know?

My eyes widened. "Who's your little sister?"

"This is exactly why I call you a dumbo. Its you! Who else!"

"But how did you-"

"Ah! I have my ways, Pebbles. Besides, Vin can't shut his mouth. Not in a million years. Especially about you."

I slapped my forehead and said, "That brother of mine is like a radio. I wonder how many people know about it now."

"Most of his friends. And my friends too. My parents. Your parents. And so many of themmmmm!"

I just rolled my eyes.

"Both of you can never shut your mouths. I should've put some duct tape."

My phone started ringing. It was Ava.

"Hey, Ava! What's up?"

"Hey, Rey! Um...we're at school right now. We need you here."

Wait...it was our winter break and she was at school?

"Wait a second. Why are you at school and why do you need me?"

"Apparently, Chip called me since he didn't have your number. Our super hot music teacher wanted you to practice with Chip. Will you be able to come now?"

Chip was another participant and he was pretty enthusiastic about the music fest. He was in twelfth grade aka a senior like me. He was pretty hot, though.

"Um..okay? Tell him I'll be there in twenty."

As soon as I ended the call, Andrew looked at me with a grin on his face and child-like twinkling eyes.

"I'll come with you."

"Where's Gabby?" I wondered, reaching the music studio, Andrew behind me.

Gabriel aka Gabby was our music mentor and he was in his early twenties but that didn't stop me from drooling over him. He was tall, dark brown hair, hazel eyes and a very talented musician. You name an instrument, he knew how to play it.

"Uh huh. You're not allowed inside the studio. You can stand with the others on the other side of the glass, okay?" I told Andrew.

He made the puppy face and walked towards the other side of the studio.
