- I Have Another Brother!?

Sophie-Rose P.O.V

Today was the exact day of the 5 months that mum and dad had adopted me. I went from being unhappy and anorexic to being healthy and happy. I can never stop thanking them for what they've done for me. I mean the orphanage was average nothing special everyone was treated the same. The food was horrible but you get what you get I suppose. That's why I'm light for my age I mean I'm 14 and have an IQ of 117 that's about average so yeah...

"Sophie!" Mum shouted up the stairs.

"Yes mum?" I asked.

"Come down here cupcake!" She called again. I got up off my small bedroom and walked down the stairs into the living room where mum, dad and Greg where sat.

"Greg!" I exclaimed running to hug him. I nearly slipped on the rug but oh well. Once we where finished hugging I sat next to him on the sofa.

"Princess calm down you saw him yesterday." Dad said.

"But still, yesterday was like 24 hours ago." I stated the obvious in my 'duh' tone. I heard Greggy chuckle. That's my nickname for him. Greggy. I love it but he hates it oh well. Me and him agreed to disagree the nickname. We have the sibling relationship where we hate each other one day and we love each other the next.

"Cupcake we have something to tell you..." Mum said.

"And what it that?" I asked suspiciously.

"You have a brother." Dad said. I looked at him with the 'seriously I already know.'

"No not Greg his names Niall. He's 7 years older than you. He lives in London." Mum said. I looked at her confused.

"Um... Ok then? What about 'Niall'" I say putting quote marks around his name.

"We just wanted to know if you wanted to meet him?" Greggy asked.

"Um... Ok?" I said but it sounded more like a question.

"Great! I'll text him now." Greggster said. That's my other name for him.I came up for him. Well I just made it up now.

"Ok Greggster." I said cracking up laughing. He gave me the 'Stop now or you know whats comming.' glare. I kept laughing my butt off.

"Ok you asked for it!"

"NO!" I exclaimed as he came to tickle me. When he was I was squirming and laughing and next thing I know, I had fallen off the chair and went head first onto the rug. I sat up and rubbed my head. "Ow Greg!" I looked over to see mum and dad laughing. I stood up and rushed him over to the chair. That made me start laughing all over again.

*5 long minutes of laughing later*

I finally finished laughing. Soon my phone began to ring.

Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)

Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)

Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey Sophie!" My best friend Becca said through the phone.

"Hey Becca! Wacha ringing for?" I ask. She fake gasped.

"Can't I ask my best friend something?" She started to fake cry.

"Sure, waddya wanna ask?"

"Wanna go shopping with me tomorrow then come over to mine mum wants to see you." I nod realizing that she can't see me.

"Ok what time?" I ask wanting details.

"Noon is that alright with you?" She asked.

"Yep." I say.

"Ok cool see you tomorrow."

"See ya Becca." I said.

Me and Becca have been best friends since I started 5 months. Becca has long red hair and brown eyes. We have the same personality with differences I suppose. We both go to school together. That's the story of how we became friends. Yep I should be an author this is my first novel:

Once upon a time.

The end.

Done.
