" Ball Is Life "

chapter one

Mercedes' POV
☆☆☆☆
I awoke from the best sleep I've had in weeks, surprisingly in a good mood which is rare. I stretch before laying on my comfy bed for just a few more minutes. The smell of bacon lingered around the house causing my stomach to growl. But the loud chatter of my family downstairs was like horrible music to my ears. I put my feet down on the cold wooden floor in my room that's not quite finished being set up, the coldness of the polished wood sent shivers down my spine. I stumbled over to my closet and found a casual outfit. I slide on my white converse although there not so white anymore due to dirt doing its magic. Grabbing a brush I walk into my huge bathroom and do my hair. The last thing I do is brush my teeth. I finally make my way downstairs.

I greet my family. "hi mami, hi papi." I kiss my mom and dad's cheek before making my way to the fridge to grab the orange juice and pouring it into a glass. I sit down at the table, "any plans for today?" I ask. My mom speaks up. "tonight we are having dinner with the neighbors!" I clap a little and smile, "that sounds nice!" Mom nods. "they are lovely people truly. so I expect y'all to be on your guys best behavior understand? especially you cc, watch your trashmouth okay?" After that being said I groan, "okay ma, do not embarrass me though please!" "oh please, you won't have to worry about anyone embarrassing you, you already do that yourself." Julio smirks earning laughs from the rest of my brothers and an eye roll from me. "shut up Julio, before you talk about me get a girl." I snap offended then snicker at my remark. "Julio shut your mouth!" Dad points his finger at him. Julio gets quiet.

"This bacon is so good." I moan in delight. "what can I say, your mami makes the best bacon!" I nod my head in agreement to my mom's words. "oh wait I almost forgot to tell you guys, today y'all are gonna help unpack everything and get our house looking appropriate and not naked." Mom says, I giggle at the word naked. I'm pretty childish. I laugh at my 4 idiot brothers complaining. "no complaining boys, we're gonna start right after we get done eating our breakfast so hurry up." Getting up from my uncomfortable chair I grab my plate and cup then put them in the sink. "who's washing dishes tonight mami?" I ask. "you are." aw man... My mom earns a groan from my "trashmouth"

After our bomb ass breakfast everyone starts unpacking boxes and putting things where they belong. I unpack all of my baseball posters and other baseball stuff then hang them up on my wall in my room. I put all of my trophies on my dresser. After hours of unpacking the whole house we have finally finished and our house doesn't look empty now.
