Complicated Miracle

Drama Queen Chapter 55

I kick the back of an empty chair in front of me as I wait for the Avengers to get over their meeting with Fury. " I am bored! I am bored. I wanna do something with my life. Not stay heeerrrrreeee, with nothing to dooooo! " I sing out as I tap my foot on the seat. " Badum badee! Boom daadaaa! I neeeedddd something to do! I am bored! I am bored! I am booooorrrrrreeeeddd! " 

" Can you stop? " Mia asks rolling her eyes. " You're giving me a headache. " 

" I doubt it's as bad as the one I get from hearing you tap away on your phone all day. " I retort. 

" Can you guys just not fight for at least three minutes? " Clayton asks very annoyedly. 

" Nope. " I say in a sing-song tone. 

" Not until she stops being so annoying. " Mia grumbles. 

" That'll only stop when you grow out of your major ego. Which, with my calculations is......never. " I fold my arms. 

" Girls. " Ryan sighs. " Will you please calm down. Please stop fighting. Aura, you have manners, use them. " My ten-year-old cousin says disappointed in me. 

" Sorry, Ryan. I don't understand. What manners are you talking about? " I look around. " Are they some sort of candy or something? " 

Ryan rolls his eyes. " Oh, my gosh Aura. You are not dumb. Don't act dumb. How am I related to you again? I really wonder sometimes. " Ryan mutters. 

" Well, my dad is your dad's step-brother. Well sort of. Your grandpa kinda kidnapped my dad and brought him into his home to wave him around like a trophy. " 

" He rescued your father. Uncle Loki would've died if grandpa had left him. " 

" Aura, why do you have to start a fight with everyone? " Tommy asks innocently as he takes a bite of a donut his dad gave him. 

" Dude, " I turn to Tommy. " let's get some facts straight here. " I pop my gum. " I do not start all the fights. I merely continue them. I stand up for what I think is right. Which happens to be the opposite of what everyone else thinks most of the time. " I say shrugging. 

" You need to get your judgment checked. You're wrong a lot of the time. " Mia snaps. 

" Does anyone else hear that annoying snooty little voice in their head, or is that me? " I ask squinting and pounding on my head. " Man, I think I need to see a doctor. The voice keeps getting louder and louder. I may be going psychotic. If I go psycho and end up killing everyone, I apologize for it now. " I say seriously to all the kids. 

" Stop being so dramatic. " Mia says rolling her eyes. 

" There's that voice again! " I say sadly. " I need to be put on meds. It's getting out of hand. " 

" Drama Queen. " Ryan mutters. 

" I know. I am a Drama Queen. " I say proudly.
