Just Desserts

Chapter 18

Gabe

There was a loud pounding on my door. It sounded as though an elephant stomping all over it, even though I knew that it was a ridiculous concept. The pounding stopped for a moment before resuming, even louder this time. Maybe there was an elephant outside my door.

"Get up guys!" my sister, Anna, yelled.

I groaned, rolling over, to find my brothers doing the same thing.

"Why should we?" Balthazar whined.

"Because school starts in and hour and you all stink!"

"Give us five more minutes!" Lucifer groaned.

"No... up. Now!" Anna yelled. All four of us crawled out of bed, stumbling around the room. I tripped as I walked into the bathroom, and grunted as I bumped into Balthazar.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"It's alright." he replied around a mouthful of toothpaste.

"Hey! That's my toothbrush!" I yelled.

"My bad bro... do you want it back?" he asked, smiling, his mouth still full of toothpaste.

"No." I growled, stocking out of the bathroom. Clothes littered the floor and Lucifer was holding a shirt over Castiel's head, not letting him pull it on or off, as he laughed.

This was a normal day in my life. I have three crazy brothers and a bossy sister. She had moved away from Kentucky a few years ago and my mom finally decided to let us come along. We now lived in Kansas in a two-story house with only three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

My sister took the room downstairs and all four of us stay up here in this room, which was not meant for four people. Unfortunately, I can't go live in the other bedroom because it's being fixed up. When we moved here, Anna had to get a new house, and there were a few technical issues as well as a rat problem. So my sister and I have been fixing it up for the past few weeks so that Cas and I could move into it.

I couldn't wait to get out of here because Balthazar and Lucifer were absolutely insane. They will always play pranks on people and it gets annoying. I mean... I love pranks but... it is so annoying sometimes, especially when you witness them nonstop.

I stumbled downstairs, sitting at the table as Anna placed food in front of me. She ruffled my hair, and I growled at her, causing her to chuckle. She sat down in front of me, pulling a huge plate of pancakes towards her, a huge smile on he face.

We sat there in silence for a moment before she finally spoke up. "So the room should be done in about a week. I still need to remove one of the electrical sockets and rewire it so it won't catch fire when it's used. I also have to repaint the walls and replace a baseboard."

"Oh thank goodness. I can't stand living with Balthazar and Luci for much longer. They drive me crazy." I muttered.

"So... am I the only one who's excited to be going back to school soon?" Cas asked as he walked in, grabbing a plate of pancakes as well.

"No. I am so excited. I hated out last school. Everything was so boring and bland and when something did happen, it was usually either Cas getting picked on or beat up, or me beating someone else up for beating you. Ugh. And the teachers didn't care about anything... I mean... they didn't even have a Drama program." I sighed.

"Good thing the teachers here will do anything to help you. Nobody cares about others... besides people like me here, so you wouldn't get picked on anyway. They also have many programs here... and yes... Drama is included in that."
