We are not family

When evil teams up

*Alex's POV*

Today was Friday. Last school day of the week. Usually one of my favorite days. But not today. Because this was the day when it all begins. This evening we are going to the lake house. It's gonna be the torture of our lives.

"What's with the face? "- H said as he sat next to me. We were in a classroom waiting for our first class to start.

"My dad decided that my life isn't enough of the torture with Nick in my house. "

"I'm sure you are overreacting. But do tell. What can be that bad?"- he said, supporting his head with his elbow.

"We are going to spend the weekend at our lake house. All of us. The weekend of hell. Or as my dear father would say 'a little quality bonding time'."- I said in horror. I was feeling pretty miserable at this point.

"So you're not going to Pete's party? That's a bummer."-he said

"Are you going?"- I asked praying to God he'll say no. But God was not on my side this week.

"Yeah. But, hey, I'm sure you'll have as much fun as me."-he said not noticing my pleading eyes, or maybe just ignoring them.

"Not to much fun I hope."-I said opening my notebook and started writing down Maria's notes. She gave me her notebook yesterday. We always combine it, because we have different professors.

"I thought you said you trust me."-he said and I was thankful I didn't see the look on his face.

"I do."-I lied once more. And it hurt. Can't imagine how he'd feel.

"Then there's nothing to worry about."- he said and I sigh ready to tell him the trust when the door opened.

I looked up and saw Nick and Zack entering. They sat in front of me and H.

"Hey, guys."-H said cheerfully. They gave him a brofist. He was always better with people than me. He then continued trying not to laugh: "Nick, buddy, how's it going?"

"I'll tell you how it's going. We are going to have a funeral for my brother next week. Find something black to wear. "- he said and H laughed. Nick turned to me and said: "Mini, how deep is that lake? "

"Just enough so I can drown you both in it. "- I said not looking at him, but at the words, I was writhing in my notebook.

"God, I wish we put those cameras at the lake house. "- H said.

"Still too much Orwellian for me."-I said getting annoyed.

"Cameras? "- Zack asked.

"We made a couple of hangouts there. So I had an idea to put some cameras. You know, to see what people were doing the whole night. "-H explained and I looked at him. What is with his tendency to tell them about my life?

"Wow, you want to say Mini threw a party? "-Nick said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, I threw a party in your head when I hit you with a bat, asshole."-I said as I went back to the notebook.

"Yeah. It's the best. It's not the whole school. Just a couple of us. She has one picture from there in your hallway."-said my best friend again getting into too much detail. I sigh.

"Oh right. The one where she's hugging Aaron."-Nick said causing me to look up.

"We were just standing next to each other, you stupid... Uh, I don't even know what to call you. "

"Brother?"- H said. I turned to him with a threatening look and a raised eyebrow.

"Do you have a death wish?"- I asked and he just shut up. -"Yeah. That's what I thought."
