"I cant believe you actually did that" i exclaimed walking into the living room with Blain right behind me. " it wasnt that hard honestly  all i had to do was kick the ball" he bragged dropping himself on the sofa while i sat at the edge of another sofa. Blain had never been a fan of sports and him joining the football team was surprising.
Mum made dinner as soon as she got home and Blain shocked everyone just as he did to me by telling them about joining the team. Cindy being always the first to comment about everything  congratulated him. Thats my family my all american family.
I was checking my emails from my friends in Greytown when mom got into my room rather unhappy. Lu can we talk." Sure i sighed walking to where she was and sat beide her. "Whats wrong" i asked. She sobbed in her sweater and told me that she would be leaving. I thought  at first that she was talking about a business  trip which she would normally be excited about but this was different. I didnt say a word and waited for her to continue talking." I will be gone for a really long time  and i want you to promise me that you will take care of your siblings " she cried holding my left cheek with her cold hands. "Mom please dont leave " i cried. Mom and dad had been fighting gor the past month since dad announced he would be getting a transfer. We had already gotten used to it but i never thought it would come to this point. With a faint smile she told me everything  was going to be okay but i knew that look from her and i realized she wasnt going to come back anytime soon. I had balancing tears but i tried to hold them. Seeing mother like this made me wonder if all the smiles and laughs she gave us were just a cover up for her pain.
We chatted for a while and the last thing  i woke up remebering she cuddled me till she also fell asleep.

That day i got up with a headache  from all the crying but i had to fight it. Mother had prepared  breakfast  and Blain had already  left  since he had football practice. Dad drove me to school  and for the first time we were both silent all the way  to school. Normally  we would talk about school stuff  and discuss my brother but  today  was as if i woke up as alice in wonderland.
My first class was art class and it was much more exciting since we got a new substitute teacher who kept on telling us about his boring life. Alex on the other hand was asleep the whole lesson. He looked adorable and i couldnt help laughing which got me a free trip to detention. Bummer.
During lunch  with leighna and the guys we discussed  about the party. After that we headed to class. Max and i are apperently in the same french class so we headed together. He sat at the far end of the class. My sit was next to his and i couldnt concentrate since  I couldnt stop thinking of the fact that he had a girlfriend and his blue eyes and his beautiful dark brown hair. I hit myself hard enough to remind myself i was done  falling for guys. It was then i remembered  that mother was leaving. I had to push those thoughts away."french,french,french!" Excuse, mademoiselle Stein. Are you okay?" My french  teacher asked me  and everyone  was staring at me. "Oui" i answered. It was the last class before detention. When the bell rang, Max followed me and asked if evrything was okay. "Si monsier " i smiled. " You do know that si is spanish." He chuckled. I was about to blush  but instead i hit him hard. "Ouch " he rubbed his stomach  "For a girl you hit like a boy." He cried. I grinned and i heard the song of victory  ringing in my head. "Where  are you heading to?" He asked. "Detention " i answered  as i walked away.  " Dont you want company" he smirked . I didnt answer but he followed me anyway. When we got to detention, the teacher was suprised to see me and asked the class to applaude since I was new. "Max i see you decided to recriut a new one." Max grinned  and proudly answered  him as he winked at me. "Yes i did."
We sat at the end of the class and all Max did was sleep.  I was on my phone and got bored and began bugging Max who finally  woke  up. "You are stubborn" he said. Merçi Max. " i answered  in a victorious  tone. I took out my phone  and Max snatched  it and began looking  at my gallery.  He found a picture  of my family  and raised an eyebrow at me when he saw my twin brother. "Wat cat bit your tongue" I smirked. Why didnt you tell me you had a look alike  twin." He looked at me in disbelief. "Aam daaah......you never asked" he kept on scrolling my phone for the next endless 5mins then he returned  it."you are hot," he said as he driftwd back to sleep. I couldnt hide my smile and i could feel my cheeks turn pink. After detention he drove me home and reminded me about the party.
