Chapter 2 :

I swooped a loose strain of my chocolate brown hair behind my ear. I was in the library studying for a history next period when I heard a loud bang from the front entrance. Emerging from behind the door was the one, and only Gavin.

He furiously moved his head in each direction trying to find me. I waved my hand trying to get his attention. He finally saw my hand waving in the air and jogged over to me.

I smiled at him.  I pushed my glasses back so that they wouldn't slip off. It was the last piece of item to officially make me known as a 'nerd'.

They weren't even the cute ones; they were the one your grandma would wear. That was the only kind my family could afford.

He jogged over to me, and when he reached me, he was breathless, "You... would... never... guess... what....happened!" he could barely finish his sentence.

I titled my head to the side. "What?"

A goofy grin appeared on his face. "I got a date!" then he started to do a little dance.

"That's great" I gave him a small smile.

"Great?! It's freaking awesome!" he exclaimed, and started to do a fist pump. He's been watching two much Jersey shore.

I looked over at the librarian and she was scolding us. I mouthed her a 'sorry', she just shook her head and muttered something under her breath.

I grab my books. "Let's go before you get us banned from the library."

He slugged his arm around my shoulder, "Let's go babe" he teased me.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at all the envious stares we were getting, but Gavin was clueless to the obvious.

"Mom?"  I yelled as I closed the door to my house. Gavin had just dropped me off at home, because he had to get ready for his 'hot date'. So here I was alone on a Friday night.

"In the kitchen," she called back.

I walked over to her and she gave me a peck on the cheek. "How was school?" she asked.

"Fine. How was work?" I asked. She had to work to jobs to support me and my brothers.

"Same old, same old" she responded.

I looked at my mom and you can see she was tired and restless. She had bags under her eyes, and she looked pale not her normal skin which was soft, but know it's rough, and dry.

Ever since dad died she took over the house, paying the bills, and trying to teach the boys how to become men.I was really proud of my mother, and her efforts of trying to keep this house together.

She looked at her watch "Oh snap" she rushed around the kitchen and got her stuff for work. I guessed she was already late. "Dinner is in the oven. I’ll see you later," she gave me a weak smile and walked out the door.

I waved bye, and walked upstairs to my room. I waited for my brothers to come back from baseball practice.

After an hour pass I hears loud noises coming from downstairs, I walked down to see all three of my brothers, looking through cabinets for food.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. They all turned around very slowly with a grim expression on their faces, they knew they were caught.

"Mike, Chad, and John move away from the cabinets." I scolded them.

"Chloe bear" they all said in unison.

I groan, at that childhood nickname. "Food will be ready in five minutes" I said shooing them out of the kitchen.

I tried to prepare the dinner as fast as I can, but how can I when they all kept on rushing me? I really did finish making everyone’s plate.

"Thanks, Chloe Bear," in unison they said again. I looked down at all my brothers. First there is  Mike, he is seventeen, then John and I are sixteen-year old twins. He is older than me but only by a minute; then lastly, Chad the 'baby' of the family who is now fourteen.

Everyone ate and talked at the same time about what happened to them today. I really didn't' feel like talking so I just listened to all their stories.

After a little while, everyone was finish and full.  I went to wash the dishes as the boys watches a game on TV. Sometimes I felt like their second mother.

"Need any help?" Chad offered.

I blew out of an air of relief. I wouldn't have to do all these dishes alone. "Thanks" I handed him the sponge.

"So...."

"So...." wondering where he was getting at.

"Why were you quiet at the table?" he asked.

"Just thinking" I responded. I mean I was thinking of 'someone' and just didn't feel like taking to people.

"Are you okay?" Chad asked worriedly.

“I am fine, what's with all these questions?" I said getting a little irritated.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Just want to make sure you’re okay," he bumped his shoulders with mine.

I smiled at him and splash some water at him. "Hey" he complained and then he started to splash some water in my direction.

"Okay. I give up" I hold my hands up in surrender. When I was out numbered what else could I do? Chad called in the boys and it got crazy from there.

I was soaking wet, my glasses keep slipping off my face, I walked back slowly up to my bedroom, but they all followed close behind.

I narrowed my eyes at all of them, just to make sure they didn't do anything. "I give up! Stop following me"

They all chuckled at my outburst. "Come on guys, let's let her go play with her dolls" Chad convinced them to leave me alone.

"Thank you," I said gratefully.

He winked at me "You owe me," he said following them back into the living room.

I walked inside my room and flopped down on my bed, I must have been really tired because sleep came upon me real quick.
