Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 1

I woke up to the feeling of icy water being splashed on my face a croaky shriek echoing into the empty corridors. I gasped trying to breathe while scrutinizing my half-dazed eyes on the speeding figure making its way out of my room.

Ugh.... Somebody should've casted the devil out of the person who thought of this marvellous idea to wake me up. There is no doubt this idiotic stunt was by one of my brothers. You heard me folks...I have more than one of these creatures roaming around in my house. Oh my where are my manners? Let me introduce myself.

Hi I'm Alexandria Evangeline Anderson. [Yeah, my parents like to keep it short and sweet] I have three brothers. Ian, Jordan and Justin. Ian is the oldest and has just finished business management from NU( Norwich university one of the most prestigious universities in the country) to take over our family business. I too plan to join him someday. As for Jordan and Justin well, they are the notorious set of identical twins. Quite clear of what they wanted surprisingly the same thing if I may add, my brothers are a set of aspiring doctors currently in freshman year at NU. At the moment I myself am studying in my Senior year of High school at Jefferson High.

"Alex if you don't come down in 5 mins, I'm leaving without you!!" Ian yelled as I let out an exasperated sigh

. I took a hot shower, staring at my closet choosing an outfit for my first day at Jefferson high. We all moved to Norwich at the end of my freshman year, well all except for Ian as he had already started buisness school and dad had to look into the opening of the new branch of our business.

Dad.... The word still makes my heart ache. I lost my dad a year after we moved, in a car accident. We were all completely devastated. My dad was like the pillar of our family, a reasonable entity in the sea of buffoons. I for one was a huge daddy's girl. A smile decorated my face just thinking about him. He was my favourite person in the whole world and being the only girl amongst my siblings the favouritism was mutual. When we lost him, I could not believe it rather, I refused to believe that I wasn't gonna see my dad ever again and the pain became too much for all of us. After a year we just could not live there anymore. Mom decided we needed to start fresh, so.... here we are, back in Norwich two years later.

"Could you be any slower?" Ian's unnecessarily raspy voice filled the house as I reverted my attention to the task at hand.

Choosing an outfit was never hard for me. There may be fifty shades of grey, hundred hues of red and we can sing endless tunes of blues, but we always go back to black. I put on a pair of black ripped jeans, a white shirt and tossed a black hoodie. I thought about a black leather jacket but drawing attention was last on my to do list.

Being the 'new kid' in my case the 'the returned kid' is the utmost difficult task as it is. Making new friends, the curious stares.... honestly just too much for my taste. We should not have moved back in the first place. How am I gonna adjust to this? Is this really what's best for me? Did we really need to move here? Oh god I'm freaking out! Chill Alex we've got this.... C'mon you can handle anyone life throws your way because you're a badass! I pointed to the mirror.... Smirked at the beautiful girl before me and gave her a wink coz why not. The pep talk I gave myself probably stopped me from noticing that the IQ level of the room had suddenly dropped. Ian must be here. Sure enough as I turned around I saw my brother smirking with a phone

Did he just....did he just? Oh god he shot my pep talk on his phone!! Now everyone will know the secret to my amazingness and I just can't have that at all. "I'm gonna need you to be down waiting for me at 8:00 am sharp everyday or I'm gonna post this video online... you know the one with millions of followers...the one which people in your new school must be following." If glares could kill my mom would be planning his funeral right now.

Oh I wanna punch his smug face so hard he won't be able to smile for a week... and I'll tell him hilarious jokes so he'll be in pain the whole time.....At the risk of sounding like a psychopath, it would be such a kind death. Is this what they call 'kill them with your kindness'...its more 'kill them with your jokes' but I'm on board with whole thing.

I followed him down the stairs only to meet the twins. "Dang its like we don't make fun of you enough...what kinda expression is that?"

"Why are you here judging me? Don't both of you have a patient to wrongfully diagnose?"

"I didn't even say anything!" Justin pouted.

No one could distinguish the twins except for me... they've tried to fool me so many times it just has not worked for them.

Out of nowhere two arms picked me up distracting me from the twins who were making faces....real mature. I rolled my eyes.

"Ian you insolent fool! You're the most uncoordinated person to walk the face of earth! Use your two brain cells and put me down!"

Just as I had predicted my screaming must have gotten to him because now my body was at the mercy of gravity and my butt kissed the ground with a thud. . I stood up glaring at Ian while his eyes widened as the future consequences of his actions dawned upon him. I just smirked at him, running towards his car. He seemed confused but followed me, nonetheless.

I opened his car, got in and much to my brother's surprise locked him out smiling innocently, blinking rapidly waiting for a reaction from Ian.

"Wait! How on earth did you get my keys?" he questioned genuinely confused while his face was etched with a tint of annoyance.

"A magician never tells her ways."

"Umm you know I have an extra set of keys inside right?"

" Well why don't you go and get them? Lets see if you have a car to open by the time you return." My smile just got wider if that was even possible which just seemed to have increased his annoyance as he let out a huff.

"Soo you are gonna drive yourself?? In Blaze? (yes he called his car blaze, yes I know how lame that is)"

"Stop being so dramatic, you own a multi millionaire company you have tons of cars!"

He gave out a sigh of defeat. "If you want your Blaze that bad I'll give it to you on one condition...you've got to delete the video you took."

"Okay okay I'll delete it" He raised his hand in defence.

" I don't have all day!"

"See all done." He put up the phone to show me.

" What kind of an idiot do you take me for? Delete it from your trash can and the google photos...ik you have synched it with your email for backup"

"Ugh do you know I hate you?"

"Aww I love you too Ian"

I handed the keys to Ian and got into the passenger seat to find the twins smirking at me. Jordan winked at me while I muttered a Thank you for handing me Ian's keys. Justin faked a tear telling me he was a proud teacher. How am I stuck with these dramatic fools! Ian let out a loud grunt of annoyance. Damn I did miss this grumpy fool for 2 years. Meeting him makes me feel great after a long time. Maybe a fresh start was not such a bad idea after all.
