The Bad Boy who Wasn't so Bad

Chapter One - "You Owe Me Twenty Bucks"

Placing the final book from the giant box next to me onto my white bookcase, I was finally done unpacking. One year after my family moved into this house I was finally finished. Yeah, I know that's an extremely long time to unpack, but I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to stuff like this. I walked over to my desk on the other side of the room, sitting in the chair while I turned on my laptop. Once it turned on, I smiled at my screensaver. It was a picture of my friends Patrick, Lacy, Anna, Drew and I. We were standing on a small bridge we found in the woods while we held hands having our backs to the camera. Since I was the shortest in the group, I was forced to be in the middle.

Patrick and Lacy are brother and sister. Patrick being 17 and Lacy being 16, making her the youngest in our friend group. They both have the most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen in my whole life. They grew up in Ghana which is located in Africa. Both of them have light brown skin but Patrick is a little darker than Lacy. Patrick is on the track team with my brother, Trey, so that's how I met him and his sister. Anna was actually the first person to be nice to me when I first moved here, and she's the one who encouraged me to try out for our varsity soccer team which I am actually captain for now.

Anna has beautiful silver hair and bright green eyes, and is also 17. She's about the same height as me, so it makes extremely easy to share clothes. Drew is probably the "father" of our group, considering that he's always the one who helps keep the peace with all of us. Drew is an amazing dancer who is hoping to get accepted into Juilliard one day. He has natural red hair, and just like Anna, gorgeous green eyes.

I looked at the picture for a couple of moments before grabbing my camera right next to my laptop and took the SD card out, only to push it into my laptop. I synced in the photos I had taken earlier that day at school. After all of the photos synced, I opened up the little folder they came and looked at them. The first one was a picture of Drew smiling as wide as he could with a flower crown on his head. I laughed to myself as I noticed that the flower crown was almost as big as his head itself. I kept going through the pictures until I heard my mom call me and my brothers to dinner. I shut my laptop, turned off my bedroom light and made my way to the kitchen.

Patrick said my house could be a mansion but I don't exactly see it. After all, having six children and two parents is going to take a decent sized house for all of us to comfortably live in.

"Hey Cas, I'll race you to the kitchen!" my twin brother Trey shouted at me as he walked out of his room. Even though we were twins, he was about 6'1 while I was 5'2. Other then the height difference, we have almost the same features only he obviously looked more masculine than me. We have the same chestnut brown hair and grey eyes.

Rolling my eyes as I walked over to him, I nodded, accepting the challenge.

"What are we racing for?"

"Whoever loses has to do the other twins chores for a week. Seem fair?" No chores for a week? There was definitely no way I was going to let him win. "Yeah, that's extremely fair. You count down." I said as I got into a running position near him.

"Three... Two... One... GO!" Trey shouted taking off.

I ran as fast as I possibly could after him. Trey had an advantage at running since he had been doing track his whole life and he knew it. As we turned the sharp corner, we were neck and neck until my younger brother Alex came out of his room, causing me to crash into him. "Oh my God, Alex! I'm so sorry! I didn't even see you come out of your room!" I quickly apologized, helping him up. Alex chuckled to himself and shook his head as he walked into the kitchen over to Trey.

"You owe me twenty bucks Trey! I think I have a concussion because of Cassie now." Alex said still laughing. I watched in disbelief as Trey reached into his sweats pulling out a twenty dollar bill handing it to Alex. "Thanks for your help bud, I was for sure Cas was going to win until you blocked her." Trey joked as he looked over at me, smirking at the expression I had. "Are you serious?" I shouted as I ran over to Trey, jumping on his back attempting to get him to fall. Sometimes being short sucked a lot. Trey shrugged me off of him and grabbed a plate putting two slices of pizza on it.
