"Charlie! Bailey!" Darren yelled from down the stairs "what have you done with Danni's hairbrush?"
'"Nothing!" We coursed in reply
"Then where is it?" He asked
"Don't know." I said coming up the stairs
"Hm, why don't you ask Kylie?" I suggested
"Okay." He said running down the stairs
"OUCH!" Darren cried landing on his front at the bottom of the stairs "I tripped over ... - DANNI!"
"What?" She called from the bathroom
"Your hairbrush is on the stairs you idiot!" He said,
Suddenly we all burst out laughing.
"Girls!" Mum called from the kitchen "Are you ready for school?"
"Oops!" I said brushing my long brown hair and fastening our school bow on to it to keep it in place.
"Oh!" Mum said grabbing for a tissue "You all look so grown up! I can't believe you’re going to boarding school!"
I stood at the door with in my crisp white blouse, navy blue skirt and navy blue blazer with my navy blue school hat with a blue ribbon and new black shoes. Danni who was 13 was pretty much the same so was Bailey except she was 17.
Darren, who was 18, had a totally different school uniform to us since he was going to a boys' boarding school and we were going to a girls' one.
Our older sister Martine was 19 last march and was already at our new boarding school, studying for exams.
"I can't believe your letting us go to St. Claire's Academy!" Bailey squealed while she straightened Danni's hair "I honestly don't care that it’s a boarding school!"
"Yeah but I haven't got any brothers." Darren said poking at Danni.
"That's not our problem." I said, grabbing my school trunk and hauling it out to the car.
