A Touch of Death

Reckless and Selfish (6)

My bed felt like someone was jumping on it. I jerked awake to see the triplets jumping around on my bed. They were all still in their pyjamas.  

"Wake up. Wake up. Wake up," They chanted loudly.

Ebony groaned and threw a pillow at the triplets before flipping the covers over her head. 

"Shut up!" She groaned sleepily.

The triplets just giggled and ran out of the room. I quickly ran into the shower before Ebony could. I then quickly turned on the shower and jumped in after undressing myself. I washed myself as fast as I could and jumped out of the shower. I wasn't going to bother with my hair so I let it air dry as I walked into our room with a towel wrapped around my body.

Ebony then stumbled in groggily and I heard the shower being turned on. I got dressed in some light blue jeans and a long sleeved shirt. I found my gloves and slipped them on. I looked in the mirror and smiled. My hair was still a bit damp but it had curled into fine ringlets. I put on a random pair of boots and walked downstairs.

I sat down at the edge of the table next to mum's empty seat. Everyone sat at the table and just as breakfast was about to start ebony rushed in. She was always the last one at the table seeing as she took longer than anyone to get ready. Mum sat at the table and the usual routine happened. After I was finished eating I rushed upstairs to pack my books I had left out last night.

Ebony came and met me halfway up the stairs, "Looks like you’re not riding with us again," Ebony stated. 

I looked at her confused. I walked outside to see Adrian leaning against his motorbike. I walked over and raised an eyebrow, "How long have you been waiting?" I asked. 

"Not long," Adrian shrugged. 

Adrian handed me a spare helmet and I took it grinning. 

"Looks like I'm going to have to fight for your attention with my bike around," Adrian joked. 

"Looks like it," I agreed.

I gripped Adrian's waist as he started the motorbike and my sisters waved. I did a small wave before Adrian started to speed off. I smiled as my body continued to tingle. Adrian pulled into school and fair few students started staring. I ignored them as I jumped off the bike grinning.

I took of my helmet and handed it back to Adrian. He put it in the space that was under the seat. Adrian then gently took a curl between his fingers. 

"You should leave your hair natural more often," he murmured. 

I blushed, "Okay."

I spotted my sisters pulling into the car park and parked right next to Adrian's bike. Ebony jumped out and skipped over to me. I felt Adrian stiffen beside me. Ebony stood in front of Adrian with a guilty look. 

"I'm sorry I accused you of being a bad person yesterday. I just heard gossip and jumped to conclusions. I'm really sorry," Ebony apologised. 

I felt Adrian relax and I smiled softly, "It’s okay. A lot of people have done that, but not so many apologise for it," Adrian noted. 

"So, are you guys like dating or what?" Ebony blurted. 

"Ebony!" I scolded. 

"Well would you look at the time! I have to meet a friend. Bye!" Ebony called and ran off.

Grumbled and Adrian just laughed. 

"Your family is weird," Adrian chuckled. 

"Try living with them," I told him.
