Me, a Pageant Queen?

Chapter One

"Mom, do you know where AJ went?" I asked slightly annoyed. AJ's my seven year old brother. "He might be in the kitchen looking for food.", my mom says with a smirk. As I walk towards the kitchen, AJ jumps out from behind the counter. "ARGH!", he yells. I look at him for a minute, shocked, but not surprised that he jumped out at me. "Oh no.", I say sarcastically. After we stand by the kitchen counter for a few minutes, he finally runs off and let's me walk into the kitchen. When I walk into the kitchen, I see my favorite non-filler snack on the ground; Nutulla. "AJ.", I say as he runs up the stairs to his room without looking back. "Well, its a good thing I went to the Gas Station this morning to get my secret stash of Nutulla!", I say as I walk out of the kitchen. "What'd you do this morning?", my mom asks. "Nothing mom!", I say as I walk up the stairs to my room.

As I walk down the hallway to my room, I here music coming from my seventeen year old brothers room. 'Why does Brian always have to play his music so loud?!', I ask myself as I walk to my room. When I'm about to close my door, Brian turns his music up a little more. "UGH!!", I say as I walk to Brian's room. When I walk into his room, I go to his speaker and turn it down. "Dude!", says Brian. "What'd you do that for?! I was about to record a video of me lip singing this song and post it on YouTube!", he says to me. 'He wishes he was a famous male Youtuber. Ha! As if that'll ever happen.'. After a minute, I finally respond; "Because Brian, some people like to go into their own room and lay on their bed with a good book and read.", I say as he stares at me as if I'm from a different planet. "Well, I like having loud music!", says Brian with a smirk. 'Stay cool Katrina.', I say to myself. "Well,like to try to become YouTube famous!", says Brian with a grin. "Yeah. Good luck with that!", I say as I walk out of my room. "AT LEAST I HAVE A DREAM!", Brian yells as he turns his music back up. 'Don't say anything back, Katrina.', I say to myself as I feel anger bubbling up inside of me.

When I finally get into my room, I fall right onto my bed. I turn to my left, turn the lamp on, and grab The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. "Gosh.", I say as I open up to the first page of the book.

*3 hours later*

When I wake up, and it's 9:00pm. Mom and AJ must be asleep, but Brian is wide awake. 'He's probably on the phone with his girlfriend.', I say with a smirk. My stomach starts to growl. 'Ugh. Right now stomach?!', I think to myself as I walk down the stairs to the kitchen. As I walk to the fridge, there's a knock on the front door. 'This late?!', I think to myself. As I walk to the front door, I hear Brian's girlfriend giggle. 'Ugh. Girly giggles. I hate girly giggles. Why's he have to date a girl with those horrible girly giggles?', I say to myself. As I answer the door, Brian runs down the stairs. "Go hide yourself somewhere Katrina.", he hisses at me. "Older brothers these days!", I said under my breath. "Hi Brian! Oh, how I've missed you!", says Brian's girlfriend. "Yeah. Me too.", says Brian in a horrible manly voice. "Oh! Is this your little sister that you've been telling me about? Katrina, isn't it?", says Brian's girlfriend with a grin. "Yeah. I'm Katrina. I've heard a lot about you.", I say with a smirk. "And I'm not little. I'm about to be thirteen years old.", I say, now with a straight face. "Well then Ms. Sassy-Pants.", says Brian's girlfriend. 'Keep it cool. She don't phase me. Keep it together Katrina.'. "You know what? I'm gonna go to the kitchen, pop me a bag if popcorn, grab some other food, grab a movie or two, and go up to my room.", I said to Brian and his girlfriend.

After I grab everything I need, I say goodnight to Brian, give an evil glare at his girlfriend, and head upstairs. When I go up the stairs, AJ is standing in the hallway. "AJ?", I say as I approach him. "Marshmallows. Dinosaurs. Colors. Movies.", says AJ sleepily. 'Ugh. He'sleep walking again!' "Come on buddy. Let's get you back to bed.", I say. After ten minutes, I finally get AJ to lay down and fall asleep. As soon as I get AJ asleep, I run to my room. I set my food down, and grab the movies. I looked at my two movie choices; The Notebook and Star Wars. 'Ugh. Seriously? Out of all the movies we own, my hand decides to grab The Notebook a Star Wars. I'm not in the mood for a romantic movie, but I'm not I'm the mood for an action-packed movie. Maybe I'll try something different. Yeah! That'd what I'll do; I'll try something different, like music! But I don't want that weird, out if date, 80's music! Where can I.... ah. Brian's room!', I day to myself. As I'm walking across the hall, I hear Brian saying bye to his girlfriend. 'Oh no! I have to hurry! Brian's gonna be coming up the stairs in a minute!!', I say as I rush myself, which isn't good. As I enter his room, I feel as if I'm being dumper into a dumpster that hasn't been cleaned in years! 'Ugh! What does he keep in here?! Dinner from four years ago?! Nasty! Smells like dead rats in here!', I think to myself as I hear Brian's footsteps coming up the stairs. As soon as I see the hallway light go off, I find a CD! 'YASS!!', I think to myself as I run across the hallway and close my door right before Brian gets to his door.

I put the CD in and listen. He had a load of  songs by his what seem to be Celebrity Crushes; Becky G, Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande, Demi Lavato, Cher Lloyd, Selena Gomez, and Jennifer Lopez. 'Really?! Becky, Iggy, Ariana, Demi, Cher, Selena, and Jennifer? Can't he do better than that?!', I think to myself as I listen to his CD. After a while, I started to dance because there was nothing better to do. Twenty minutes later, I'm laying on my bed thinking of my plans for tomorrow. Ten minutes later, I'm fast asleep with Becky G singing Shower.
