"Evangeline! get your butt down here this instance and help out with breakfast!"
I groaned, not in the mood for my annoying siblings this early in the freaking morning. I pulled the covers over my head and proceeded to go back to sleep. Not even a minute later, a freaking minute mind you, I felt a bucket of ice cold water being poured onto me, and the obnoxious laughter of my irritatingly annoying siblings.Have you ever gotten the feeling where you wake up in a comfy warm bed ready to start the morning, and then a freezing cold bucket of icy water drenches you from your head to your comfy underwear and fluffy socks? I swear, it's the most annoying feeling ever. But of course, you wouldn't know that, because you don't have bratty siblings like I do.
Ignore everything first, i have a mission: make those two horrible rats PAY. As I ran down the stairs, I started to think how I can get those two bastards back for what they did. splashing them with cold water only was not enough, noooo i have to make sure they feel PAIN. First things first, make sure they get drenched, of course with my amazing eagle eyes, i saw them hiding behind the shed near the pool. Perfect! They were busy looking at the main staircase in the complete opposite direction I was coming from. Sometimes, they are such morons.
As I crept slowly behind them I smirked, finally revenge would be mine.
"BOO!" I screamed at them, Jace the clumsier of the two, immediately fell into the pool with a splash. Rachel however, teetered on the edge of the poo, on the verge of falling in.
"PLEASEEEEEE Evieeeeee don't do this to me! don't you love me?"
"Sorry Rach, revenge always comes first,"and with that, I gave her a big push into the pool.
When she resurfaced, she had a large frown on her face and was literally glaring daggers at me. On the other hand, Jace being Jace, was still laughing good-naturedly in the pool."
"Bitchhhhhh i hate you!"
"Love you too rachiee" I chuckled as I made my way back into the warm toasty house to change into a fresh pair of DRY clothes.
As I entered the sliding door I accidentally bumped into Clarissa, who was still in her fluffy jumpsuit. Her red locks were tangled, and she carried a glass of hot cocoa. When she finally noticed me, her eyes widened in shock.
"WTF happened to you, you look like a freaking monster!"
"Rach and Jace happened. I swear, they're driving me insane."
I wouldn't blame her for insulting my appearance though. given that my black hair is probably tangled and look like half dried seaweed. My face also probably had the biggest eye bags anyone has ever seen, and my cheeks were probably a tad too rosy red from the cold. I probably looked like a cross between a yeti, and half deranged sea monster.
With a bang and a gust of cold air, my idiotic siblings walked into the house, with their clothes drenched, and their black hair hanging over their faces.
There was an awkward silence, as we all stared at each other. Then Clarissa burst into giggles, it was pretty hard not to follow in the contagious laughter, and soon we were all laughing our heads off.
"God damn it, why are you people making so much noise? why must y'all be so freaking loud so early in the morning"
The beast had awoken, Clarabelle walked down the stairs looking as perfect as ever. How can someone that just woke up look so good? Life is so unfair, her brown hair looked brushed and straightened to perfection, she had zero eye bags, and her complexion positively glowed. But, the expression on her face was far from angelic. in fact she looked positively murderous, like she was going to kill us. Her grey eyes literally looked like she was about to spit fire.
"Hey belle, glad to see that the beast is finally up." Rissa smirked (rissa is short for Clarissa if u peeps didn't know)
Belle just gave her the middle finger before heading to the kitchen to get breakfast.
Turning back to us, Rissa gave us the look before placing her hands on her hips, and glaring at us.
"You three had better go upstairs and change this instance before you all catch a cold" and with that she shooed us upstairs.
Rissa is one of those people that just has those motherly vibes. I swear, she nags us more than mom does, and that's saying a lot. Let me give you a little background story.
So, Rose and Ethan Hawthorn are the adoptive parents of seven. Xavier (22), Clarissa (20), and Clarabelle (19). those three are blood related siblings. (rissa is the only one out of the three of them that is not afraid to yell at belle and not face her fiery temper) Andrea(18), who to be honest is a bit of an oddball. she is literally the coolest person i know that is okay with almost everything, and doesn't give a damn about what others think of her. Then there are the three of us, the Jackson siblings, which includes me, Rachel and Jace. me and Rach are fraternal twins who are both 16, and look almost the same, except for our eyes. In fact, me, Rach and Jace all look pretty similar. we all have the same Dark, curly black hair (which is sometimes really annoying because it's so thick and difficult to manage), a small nose, and a good dusting of freckles. However, I always felt like the odd one out from my siblings, because while Rach and Jace inherited my moms beautiful sea green eyes, i got my father's icy blue eyes. My eyes have always been a thing of discomfort for me, because throughout my childhood when people regarded me, they always said my eyes were too piercing and always avoided my gaze. but over time, I grew used to them.
Our adoptive family is a very strange bunch. Rose and Ethan didn't just randomly pick kids off the street. The truth is, that we're all 'gifted' in some way or another. when i say gifted, i don't mean it in a good way. We all have a 'talent'. an example I can give is the time when Jace pissed Clarabelle off so much that her hair literally burst into flames, and set the whole house on fire... Or the time Rachel accidentally made the cactus she kept in her room grow as big as an elephant. The worst one was when I became so fed up with math homework that I accidentally froze the whole house over. it took weeks for clarabelle to melt it all down, and lets just say, she was not very happy with me. To sum it up, our family is chaotic. Rose and Ethan specialised in TRYING to keep or abilities hidden from the world and helping us keep our abilities in control, so that our emotions will not overrule them and cause the end of the world as we know it yadayadablahblahblah .
As i changed into my comfy black 'FUCK OFF AND GET LOST' shirt and shorts, my door crashed open and Rach hurled herself onto my bed.
"Evie i need helppppppp.''
"What do you need dumb ass ...... is it a boy?"
Rach looked up at me sheepishly before slowly nodding her head. lately, Rach has gotten infatuated with this dickhead of a boy called Liam. I honestly don't really know what she sees in him. he looks pretty ordinary, and he's not at all good looking. but most importantly, he has a shit personality. like the minute Rach introduced him to us, i knew i hated his guts. He was not the guy i wanted my sister to be with. EVER.
"Evie... hurry up and help me! I don't know what to do... do i agree and go on a date with him, or should i reject him? He's been so nasty to me lately, but I think I still like him." She sighed and hugged my stuffed polar bear. She rolled over on the bed and stared at me with those beautiful green eyes.
I sighed and flopped onto my bed beside her, before turning to stare at my twin sister.
"Rach, listen to me. if you really like him, then I'm all for you dating him. but on a personal opinion, I really don't like him and his shitty personality. But if that is who you love, then i will support you. This decision is yours to make alone." I reached for her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. With that, i turned and jumped up from the bed.
"Come on, let's eat breakfast. I'm starving!" With that, I dragged Rach down to the kitchen, where the scent of pancakes was steadily getting stronger.
