Here we go again. 

A new day, the sun was shining bright and la-la-la. Every thing was just like a fairytail, just like i hated it to be. To be honest i have never really liked sunny days, i like cloudy days, days on which you just feel like curling inside a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate near you, reading a book by Agatha Christy. 

Damn these sunny days. And damn it to be a Monday.

"Scarlett Black you better get your ass down here or i'm gonna come up there and make your very existence a regret." Daniel, my elder brother roared down from below. I rolled my eyes and made it down drudging every step i took. 

"And you better get ready for school before you come down." He ordered me again.

Huffing I truged back into my room and started changing until i heard his voice again. " And it won't be very hard to smile on this day, right?." Trust my brother to know me so well, not being able to help it i smiled and headed back down. 

" Alright see there's this big smile on my face ok?" I told him. "Yah, it covers up most of your hideousness, sis" He mocked me. "Yah well, whose sister am i anyways?" I retorted. That took the smug smile right off his face. Anyways, i was lying, i maybe hideous (as my brother likes to say) but my brother was a killer ( in the looks quota i mean, he wont even harm a fly, i mean he would harm a fly but- ok you get the picture). Almost all of my friends had a crush on him and the entire school absolutely worshipeed him. What did he not have?- good grade ( courtesy to me), athletic physique, good looks and a good nature. But don't tell him i said all of that ok? because as a younger sister i have certain responsibilities of not letting all of this get into my brother's head.So back to his face, which right now was pretending to be hurt. 

" You just did not say that." He fake wailed.

"Yep i did princess, get over it." I retorted heartlessely, honestly i am immune to his behaviour, which apparently gets all the other girls gooey eyed. 

As soon as he realised that i was not falling for it, he went back to setting the breakfast plates for me. I watched him doing that and felt a familiar pain in my heart. Our parents were business tycoons, and they had to be out a lot. Didn't mean that they loved us any less but, they weren't there for us that much. My brother and me had got adjusted to it pretty well and we were each others everything honestly. He had literally filled up the space that my parents could not. And i was very thankful for him for doing it, but i was really not good at expressing my emotions but i think he knew. 

" Yo hey, earth to Scarlett, what are you thinking bout?" He inquired.

" Nothing just... Thinking bout school work" I replied unable to come up with some witty reply. He looked at me curiously for a while and then let it drop. I had my breakfast (pancakes) and set off for my school which was like a twenty minute walk from my place. 

" Want me to drop you?" He suggested. 

" NO! I dont want to hear all the girls sighs when they see you and later i dont want to hear how they think that me being your sister is such a lucky thing!!!." I semi shouted.

" Alright ok ok. Whoosh, someone's sure is jealous." He laughed. 

"Shut up" was all i could manage and i headed off.

Reaching school I was greeted by Alice trying to kill me. Well, not exactly kill me but... her hugs could kill. 

" Missed you soooooo much!!!" She squealed. 

" Me missed you too gal" I said hugging her back. 

My eyes just darted around and landed on a pair of blue ones string right into mine. I could recognize those eyes anywhere.
