Being a Gallgher isn't easy, especially not for Ian's twin Alyssa Gallagher who lives on the southside with her many sibling and alcoholic father who drops in and out whenever he pleases.
Then there's the emotionless asshole who Alyssa just can't s...

Another long ass shift at the Kash and Grab was draining. Ian convinced me to get this job with him, it wasn't all bad, Kash- our boss -was nice. Unlike his wife, Linda, she was a bit hot-headed. But spending most hours of the day with my twin wasn't the worst thing, all we did was stock shelves and serve the few customers that appear. Tonight we were stocking an aisle together, Ian on one side, me on the other. "Hey! That's sexual harass- - Mandy?"
I whipped my head at the sound of my brother speaking. He looked just as confused as I was, he was staring down at a girl standing at the foot of the ladder. Mandy Milkovich of all people. Mandy was nice, me and her have always been kinda close. She was nothing like her brothers, they were all a bunch of ruffian assholes. But here, talking to Ian, yeah that was strange.
"Hey, Ian," she smiled. I went back to stocking the shelf, sneaking quick glances every so often. "Uh, what- what's going on?" Ian asked her nervously. I cringed watching the scene unfold. "I wanted to thank you for coming to my rescue in history class today."
Of course, I remember. The three of us had history together and our teacher was a class A perv. Today he popped a boner and brushing up near Mandy, Ian who sits behind her. Kicked his bag out and as our teacher stepped back, he fell flat on his ass. It was pretty funny.
"No problem. Mr Bancroft's a prick," Ian shrugged. Mandy was twirling strands of his hair and flipping her head. Clearly trying to flirt with my brother...but the thing she didn't know. "Well, I think you might be my knight in shining armour." I sighed as my brother let out a nervous chuckle, elicting a loud and shrill giggle from Mandy.
Ian climbed down off the ladder, "Right." He moved to another section of the aisle, attempting to continue working. I looked back at Mandy as he giggled again, following Ian, "You're funny, Ian Gallagher!" she chirped. As I was done stocking up, I jumped down fro the ladder I was on and walked over to the register and took Kash's place behind the counter. "O-okay.."
"What time do you get off work?" she wondered, getting closer to him by the second. I noticed her thong sticking out above her very short skirt and shook my head. "Uh...I think it's uh, inventory night, so probably not till really late," Ian stuttered, I felt bad for him. He wasn't used to this sort of pressure.
"All right," Mandy said in a less chirpy voice before slapping her large smile back on, "Well, I guess I'll see you around school tomorrow, then?" she suggested. Ian's shoulders relaxed, "Yeah, right. Uh, see you tomorrow Mandy, heh."
Mandy leaned up and pressed a kiss to Ian's freckly cheek, then she skipped away from him. "Hey, Alyssa!" She waved as she passed me on her way out of the store. "Uh...Hi Mandy." The bell rang as the door shut behind her, I watched Ian let out a long sigh.
As the rest of the store was empty, I left the counter to run to my brother. "What the hell was that about?" I elbowed his arm when I reached his side. He put down the can of soup he was holding and faced me, "I don't know..." I bit my lip sighing, "She likes you. It's quite obvious," I placed my pale hand on his arm, "Be careful, she might not take rejection very well..." Ian nodded, "I know."
