My brother comes first!

First day of school...

Hi my name is Kathleen Abernathy. I am 16 years old and I have a 12 year old brother named Tanner. Him and I have been close since the day he was born. I always thought my brothers dark brown hair brought out the piercing blue in his eyes...him and I were quite a pair with my sun bleached hair and green eyes. But we always had each other's back. My brothers new school and mine, the grade goes from 5th to 12th grade which was a bonus for my brother and I. We moved from Texas to a small town in Florida.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tan....can u come here for a minute?" I called down to my brother.
I heard a pair of racing feet run up the stairs and to the door of my bed room.
My door instantly swung open and my brother covered his eyes automatically.
"Whoa you could have told me you weren't decent!?" He shouted playfully.
"Ugh your such a drama queen! At least I have a towel around me!" I laughed. I had just gotten out of the shower and my towel was the only thing clutching to my body. Tanner slowly put down his hand to his side and stood leaning against the door way in his rock band t-shirt and ACDC pants.
"Any ways....what's up Kat?" He chirped.
"I need help with my out fit, today is the first day of school and I don't know what to wear?!" I chuckled.
"Hmmmm" Tanner took a couple steps closer to me and my closet and inspected every inch of it.
"I would go with your dark jean-shorts, red and black half sleeved flannel, black tank top with your black converses and tree necklace you got for your birthday a month ago! Oh and your Indian night jasmine perfume." He firmly stated.
I gave him a high five and he strutted out impressed with himself chuckling.
I got my picked out outfit on and went into my bathroom attached to my room and looked in the mirror.
I heard foot steps behind me coming into my room toward the bathroom.
"I'd go with your black eye liner, maroon eye shadow and your darkest mascara" Tanner's voice filled the bathroom which made me smile.
"Thanks" I replied.
He ran out of my room and down the stairs. Well that's what I was assuming because he sounds like a heard of elephants running through the house.
I put on my make up and jogged down stairs to get some break fast. Which was being made for me by my Mamma.
"Mornin' Mamma" I sang.
"Morning bean" she chirped while scooping eggs and bacon onto a plate and tossed it on the counter towards me.
I was in the middle of finishing my food when Tan ran down the hall in his blue dress shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans with holes in the knees and his hair sticking up in every direction just the way it was when he woke up. I let out a laugh and shook my head at him...quickly swallowing my last bite I got up and walked over to him.
"What?" He whined.
"You helped me with my out fit and now I definitely need to help you with yours" I shook my head and put a hand on his shoulder and he took the walk of shame to his room. We entered his room and clothes were scattered all over the floor. He shot me an innocent look and said "I didn't know what to wear?!" Laughing a little and shrugging his shoulders.
I walked over to his closet and picked out a blue v-neck t-shirt, blue skinny jeans (without holes) and his white converses.
"Perfection, now hurry up, I'll make you break fast. Oh and before you call me back up...go with the green Adidas cologne, it's the best smelling one!" I half smirked and walked out.

He came down stairs and practically inhaled his bacon and eggs and we headed out to start our walk to school!

"So are you excited Tan? To start grade 7?" I nudged his arm.
"Yeah I guess. How about you? You ready for grade 10?" He shakily asked.
"Yeah I'm ready....wanna tell me what's bothering you?" I asked
"What are you talking about? Nothing's wrong!"
"Yes there is Tan, I know you well enough to tell if some thing's wrong!"
"Fine, so, there's this girl, I've known her since kindergarten and well I've had a crush on her for a while now and I'm not really sure what to do..." He scratched his neck and looked up at me.
"Talk to her" I flat out told him.
"What I can't just do that I mean...I get so nervous so easily, like, I start babbling and I can't stop and....I just....I don't know!" He looked down at his feet.
"Well coming from a girl...find out what she likes, find what you have in common, find out who she's friends with." I giggled.
"Really?" He looked up confused.
I just nodded and we reached the school. We gave each other a hug and did our secret hand shake that consisted a fist bump, 4 cross over high fives, chest bump, spin, jump, 2 knee slaps, 2 claps and a smack on the others butt. Every time we do it people stare and watch in amaze.
I gave him one last nod and he walked over to his friends and I did the same.
