After hours of watching tv my mom calls me downstairs to set up the dinner table. Letting out a loud groan I jog downstairs and start setting up the dinner table. Sometimes I hate being the only girl in this crazy family, it's almost always me that has to set up the dinner table, go out to get groceries for mom and dad, and keep my stupid brothers on track and out of trouble in which I have trouble keeping myself out of trouble! Just as I was finishing up the dinner table the loud sound of our doorbell startles me. "I got it!" Mom says. I listen as she opens the door greeting a small family, I finish up finally. took me long enough! "go get you're brothers and dad!" My mom says making me whine dramatically,"why me mami?" "because I'm busy talking to these kind people!" She says and I stomp upstairs yelling for everyone to come down.

"Its about time." Luis says, "oh shut up idiot." I say to him. "you shut up crazy cedes." He snaps at me causing me to roll my eyes. I flop down on the couch throwing my leg over the side.

My dad "kindly" greets the family and leads them to the dinner table. Hayze my older brother shoved me off the couch causing me to yelp. "damn you." I shove him back. "cedes be nice!" Our dad yells, "but he started it!" "doesn't matter come sit down now." He responds rudely.

Everyone sits down at the dinner table. Me beside mom, Hayze beside me, Luis beside dad, Julio beside Luis, and Alejandro beside Julio. While looking around my eyes land on a tan Hispanic boy that's about my age. I immediately blurt out, "you didn't tell me there was a boy." That was pretty stupid of me even my mom thinks so because she kicked my ankle from under the table causing me to yelp a little. "sorry ma." There was an awkward silence between us and the family. Eventually everyone starts making an conversation and eating. Me and Hayze on the other hand kept giving each other death glares and kicking each other from under the table, both letting out a yelp each time. "honey don't you think you should introduce yourself to this kind young man?" Our mom from beside me says talking directly to me. "U-uhm.. hi? i'm Mercedes." He stares at me and cracks a little smile, "Benny. nice name!" I smile in return. Hayze smirks at me. "She's a baseball loving freak." He says.

An hour later, the family goes home and I wash all the dishes.

I finish up and make my way upstairs putting on some pjs then fall into a deep sleep.
