New Rules

Avyanna Chase 1

I groaned when the alarm clock started ringing. I looked at the time it was 6:30 a.m.

It was the first day of my final year of secondary school and I was kind of excited about it, I hurriedly got up and ran towards Alex's room.

I knocked slightly. No answer. I shook my head, why did I even try? I opened the door and entered. As expected he was in deep sleep. I sighed and sat on his bed. He has cute little freckles on his cheeks that I was always a little jealous of. His jet black hair that matched my own was tousled from sleep.

"Hey, sleepyhead wake up." I called gently.

He mumbled something in his pillow.

I sighed, "Alex, come on we're going to be late for school." I said while running my fingers through his hair.

He opened his blue eyes, which he took after our mother, and smiled at me. "Mornin' " he mumbled a small smile playing on his lips.

I chuckled, "Morning, now get your ass up. I'll make some breakfast, come down when you're ready." I left him to do his business and walked back to my own room.

After deciding my outfit, I took a quick shower and got ready. I decided to leave my hair down as they were still a little wet from the shower before.

I walked downstairs to make some breakfast for the both of us. After about 20 minutes it was ready. Alex came downstairs just when I was setting plates. He was in his simple white T-shirt and blue faded jeans.

I smiled, "come on take a seat", he smiled back and sat on a chair at the table. We ate and occasionally talked. He is one year younger than me, which means he's in the 11th standard.

Looking at him I saw that he was fidgeting, I knew he was hiding something, but I waited for him to tell me because I knew he would, I actually knew what was going on in his mind. Even though we weren't of the same age, we were like twins. We know each other like the back of our hand.

He finally sighed, "I-I am scared." he said softly. I knew. He was never good at making friends or even being social. Actually, even I am not good at making friends. And it has never bothered us. We were happy with each other's company.

But still, we were so different, he was more on the shy, kind, and innocent, nerdy type of side. Me on the other hand, a person who doesn't take shit from anyone. I prefer more when my fists speak.

"Hey, don't worry about anything, okay? I'll be there with you always. If you have any problem." my voice became a little hard "and I mean it Alex, anything at all. You'll tell. I'll take care of the rest."

He smiled and nodded. He looked at his watch and he started panicking, "we'll be late!"

I chuckled, "don't worry little bro, I'll handle it, you finish your breakfast."

After we finished our breakfast we walked to the garage, "Do you want to drive today?" I asked him with a smile.

I swear I love my car more than my life itself but I love my little brother more, so only he's allowed to drive my chick.

He smiled and shook his head. We walked to the garage, and we took our favorite car. Then we were off to school.
