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...

The next morning, I went downstairs to find Jimmy making breakfast for us all. "Good morning, Alyssa," he greeted with a large grin. I scrunched my nose and took my seat beside Carl, "Um...morning," I replied with a chuckle.
I poured myself an orange as Carl shovelled food into his mouth at my side. Growing hungry, I reached across the table and stole a slice of toast from Lip's plate and stuck it in my mouth before he could complain.
"Who needs more eggs?" Jimmy announced which made the kitchen table erupt in strings of 'me' and 'yes'.
Fiona suddenly appeared walking the stairs, her dark hair still messy from sleeping. She eyed Ian who sat at the head of the table, "You came in late for a school night," she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Trig test in a couple weeks, you know," he shrugged before meeting my eyes and our lips tugged up in smirks, knowing full well he was with Jimmy's dad last night.
Another set of feet sounded coming downstairs and I looked over to see Mandy yawning as she strolled down the steps. She was wearing one of Lip's t-shirts and underwear which made Fiona scoff, "Wow, couldn't find your pants?"
Mandy ignored the comment and walked over behind Lip to wrap her arms around his neck. Jimmy clasped his hands together, "Bus is leaving," he stated, "Dishes in sick, Mandy, you need a ride?"
"Sure, if you got room," Mandy smiled and Jimmy nodded and tossed her something. She caught it and ran back up the stairs. The rest of us were grabbing our lunches and pulling on our bags.
"Debbie, milk in fridge!" Jimmy ordered as he walked into the living to grab his car keys. "All right! Train's leaving!" he called and we all piled into the living room. "Mandy!" Jimmy yelled in hope to get her to hurry.
She ran down the stairs to the living room, still buttoning her shorts. I picked up and tossed Mandy her bag when she reached the bottom on the stairs. She thanked me and we followed Jimmy and my siblings out the door.

We were taking Lip's laser to a bot championship later that day. Carl practically begged us to let him come so we gave in and brought him along, he was helping me and Ian carry it whilst Lip and Mandy led the way inside.
We walked to a bunch of tables pushed together in a makeshift front desk sort of thing. There was a crowd of people behind it and a large trophy stood proudly on the table.
"Back for yet another round of ritual humiliation, Gallagher?" A guy sitting at the table asked smugly. "Finally gonna win this time, Goff," Lip stated, resting his palms on the table.
"College-entries only today," Goff shrugged, "It was on the website or don't you have internet down at MLK Charter," he smirked causing his goons behind him to snigger.
