"Woah," Ryan said,"he must be really mad,"

"Yeah. it seems so," I said,"But I haven't seen him yet ths morning so maybe he calmed down a little bit. I understand where he is coming from competely,"

"Has it ever happened to you before?"

"No-,"

"Then maybe you don't understand. He came home from being gone for however long to a new stepfather and stepsister that he hadn't even heard one word about," he said. I sighed.

"You're right," I huffed. I could hear him smirking through the phone.

"There's my girl," He chuckled. I rolled my eyes.

"I am not your girl, you idiot," I laughed. He chuckled.

"I love you too," he said. 

"Well I've gotta go, Ry. There's four teenage boys here that I suppose I have to talk to eventually. And I'm hungry," I said to him, stepping off of my bed.

"Okay. Be good. Love you, girl," He said. 

"Don't tell me to be good," I said and hung up the phone. 

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to get something to eat, but before I could reach the refrigerator, I smacked into someone's chest and almost fell backwards, until they caught me. 

"Woah," Michael said, "Are you okay? I didn't see you coming," He smiled at me. I smiled back at the red headed boy.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry," I said. He laughed.

"Why are you apologizing?" he asked. I shrugged.

"For everything, I guess," I said. He pulled me into a hug.

"It's not your fault. I overreacted. Welcome to the family, sis," He pulled back and smiled at me. I laughed and smiled at him. I stepped around him and finished the walk to the refrigerator to look for something to eat. 

"Karen left some tuna casserole in the oven," I heard voice. I spun around and caught eyes with Luke.

"You scared me, Luke," I said puting a hand on my chest, feeling my racing heart. He chuckled.

"Sorry, kid," he said. I rolled my eyes at the nickname.

already giving me nicknames? At least it could be something different than 'kid'," I said. He smirked.

"I could call you little kid," he said. Time to roll my eyes. 

"I know that I'm short, okay. Maybe you should be called extremely abnormally ginormous kid," I said. He laughed. His laugh was the best thing I had heard all day. He looked at me with his piercing blue eyes.

"That's fair. I am pretty tall," he said. I smiled.

"It's good that you know then," I said, stepping around him to get to the oven. I was starving!

"Here," He said and lightly nudged me out of the way,"I'll get it for you," 

"Thanks,"

"Dude, I think that Luke has a thing for Ashley," I said after I returned from spying on the two in the kitchen.

"Well she is hot," Ashton spoke, flipping through the channels. I rolled my eyes and punched his arm. 

"You keep forgetting she's my stepsister," I said. He smirked.
