The Female Kicker

Chapter 13

I literally cannot stress how upset I am about this. I mean on the upside, I basically get to live with my best friend for a month or two but on the downside, I also get to live with my enemy for a month or two in an already very crowded house. It's just the cherry on top to my hectic week.  "When do you guys leave?" I asked Mr and Mrs. Walker. "Tomorrow morning actually" oh come onnnnn. So either they stay tonight or tomorrow night to start out with but still come onnnnn. After a few minutes of everyone's internal groaning, Kyle, Bryan, and Sarah all went to get their things for the next month or two. Mr. and Mrs. Walker followed closely behind after repeatedly thanking my mom for her generosity. After they left, my mom sat us all down in the living room and said "okay so new living arrangements!" We all kinda groaned a little. We like just figured this out. "Sarah's with Kylee obviously. Um Austin and Kade can fight it out about who gets who." mom said. I feel kinda bad for whoever gets Bryan honestly. I know Austin, Kade and Kyle are all friends, Austin and Kyle more so than Kade and Austin, but I just feel like Austin should get Bryan because he's a lot tougher than Kade. No offense to him or anything, he's great but Bryan's not. "Kade you can take Kyle." Austin offered "I've got a few lessons in mind to teach Bryan" he said cracking his knuckles. "Plus there's no way I'm leaving any of you alone with him" he concluded. I smiled at him. He was a good friend and an even better brother. I got up from my spot on the couch and hugged Austin and told everyone goodnight before heading up to my room. I was beat after today. I looked around to see where Sarah would sleep. I mean she could sleep in the bed with me but I do kinda kick in my sleep. I spotted the air mattress in the corner of my room and pulled it out just in case. I climbed into bed and scrolled through TikTok. Okay wow people are dumb. Deciding just to close my eyes for a few minutes I ended up falling asleep but not before I heard a faint "goodnight Kylee" from the door.

The next morning I woke up to Sarah on the air mattress beside my bed. It was Thursday. She'd just woken up and glanced up at me. She opened her mouth to speak but then we heard a loud bang downstairs. We both jumped out of bed and ran out of the door. In the hallway, we met Blake, Austin, and Kyle. Kade is a heavy sleeper and probably didn't hear it or even care. The five of us hurried downstairs and made our way into the kitchen. There was a sight I didn't think I'd see: Bryan trying to cook but uh I don't think he could find much and he kept dropping pots and pans. Oh boy. This was going to be a long month.

After the boys helped clean up the kitchen, I managed to make us some real food. Tons of French Toast, eggs, and bacon. Yum! I managed to go through about 3 cartons of eggs and 4 loads of bread. Feeding 13 people was no picnic. And majority of those 13 people were teenage boys. Not even including when Mike and Alex would come over.

Following breakfast, I put all the dishes in the dishwasher and started the wash. Then I went back upstairs to get ready for school. I noticed Sarah was about ready herself and I'd have to hurry to catch up. I grabbed my towel and jumped in the shower.

When I got out, I brushed my teeth and did my face routine. Stepping out of the bathroom, I was hit with a breeze of cool air. I walked over to my closet and grabbed some skinny jeans and a random shirt. I threw on my clothes and then grabbed some yellowish orange checkered vans and pulled them on. I stood up to look at myself in the mirror while I brushed my hair. My shirt was a plain light blue tee and I had dark jeans on along with it. Grabbing my bag, Sarah and I headed downstairs to meet the boys. They were all patiently waiting downstairs for us. Then I remembered mom asked us to take Hailey, Kayla, Ashley, and Luke to school too because she and baby Dylan had a doctors appointment this morning. They went to the middle school next door so it was no problem. They'd just get there a little early and have to walk next door after school while we have football practice. Sarah volunteered to keep on eye on them during it.
