"What should we do?" Luke asks.
"A surprise would be fun, what'ya think?" Calum says.
We're currently at home thinking about what we should do for Ashton's upcoming birthday this Sunday. I just found out today, the boys told me about their plan and I'd like to join them.
"A surprise sounds good, but what?" That was Michael. He's wearing his thinking hat as he tries hard to think of what to do for Ash.
"Anna, what do you think?" Luke asks.
"Hmm what about if we just throw him a party?" that was the only good thing I came up with.
"Sounds great, but how are we going to do that?" Michael

"Okay, so I will keep Ashton occupied, while Calum's in charge of food-- Anna and Luke are on decorations and place. How's that?" Michael says as he tries to sum up what we ha just planned.
"Food? I can't even cook!" Calum complains.
"Well, your sister can. Go ask for help" Michael says.
"Ugh fine!" Calum gives in. Wait, what am I in charge of again? Decorations and place with Luke.
Okay, that's not so hard.
"Sounds good?" Luke asks,
"We can do this!" The three said in unison,
It's just Thursday today, we've got enough time... I think.
The boys left an hour ago, and Ashton is not here. I wonder where he is though? Oh well, I'll find out soon.
The day went short, I spent it at home, thinking of what I was going to do. How old is Ashton, anyway? What kind of a sister am I? I don't even know basic information. Can't blame myself, I've only been here for a week or so.
I thought of just doing the party here, since I don't know anywhere else, but maybe Luke does? I think I should call him.
I went up to my room and got my phone.
Wait, I don't have Luke's number. Oh Great. Note my functional sarcasm.
I don't have all of the boys' number.
Stupid.

Time check 6:59 pm
"I'm home!" I hear Ashton's voice.
I quickly went downstairs and greet Ashton.
"Hey little sister" He smiles.
"Hello Big brother" I smile back at him. I still can't believe I have a brother. It's been sixteen years, yet I only found out now? But I'm happy, I guess having a brother will be fun.
He went straight to the couch and sat down comfortably on it, He sighs deeply. And turns on the TV.
"Are you hungry Anna?" he asks.
"a little" I say. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm guessing so did he.
"Want to order pizza?" he offers.
"Is mom coming home?" I suddenly ask. Its already seven and she's still not here, I've been used to calling her 'Mom' but not in front of her, though.
"She'll be late. So.." He looks up on the ceiling and says "we'll order pizza"
"Okay" I answer and sat next to him. He kinda seems different. I don't know, he's less chirpy? It's very unlike him, I'm used to him being all talkative and hyper all the time, maybe he's just tired.
